COAL HEARINGS I HAVE CLOSED ii Washington, April 10.?The hear!c ings of the house labor committee r on the national coal strike were conf eluded today, for a time at least, the . last day being devoted to hearings of i, testimony from labor spokesmen who - denied charges of the operators con9 cerning union contract breaking be1 ing a factor in the walk out. Chaire man Nolan of the committee said e there were no plans at present for a further investigation of the strike - but the committee will meet Wednesday in executive session to take acn tion on the liland bill, which would c set up a federal coal commission to / deal with such situations. / Witnesses 'appearing before the e committee today included Edgar Wals lace, labor federation legislative agent, and a member of the miners' - union; John Hessler, president, and j William Mitch, secretary of the Int diana district of the United Mine 0 Workers, and James Lord, vice presi1 dent of the American Federation of f Labor. s Examination of the witnesses was f enlivened at one time by Representar tive Atkeson (Republican) of Mis scuri, who desired to show, he said, 1 "that it is the money question bother ing" the miners, rather than."quest tions of labor organization or conference with the operators." i - miners were getting up to last i week 31 per cent more than they got f during the peak of prices during the s war," he declared, in asking Mr. Wallace, "Why aren't you willing to skin down a little now, when farmers have e lost 50 per cent of what they had . then?" i "Is there any reason why we should \ lose because farmers weren't organt ized?" ansered Wallace, i "All right," Mr. Atkeson pursued, r "You did have a wage contract with i the bosses; it expired last week; i they don't want to gon on with it - again. What are you going to do . about it? Has congress or anybody 1 else got power to make 'em?" * Mr. Wallace agreed that legislation 1 to compel new contt-acts might not be t advisable, but suggested the union 3 could force another bargain. "Yes, you come here, and say by use of power against other white men, you are going to make what you f want," Mr. Atkeson returned, "when you are getting 31 per cent more I than during the war." The entire operation of deflation as affected wages and prices, Mr. . sisted. , "The difference between us and the 1 farmers," he said, "is that we are } resisting." t Mr. Hessler told the committee thai Phil H. Penna, operator, representative, had given the committee "an inaccurate and misleading statement" to support charges that the 1 union had violated generally its wage agreements. Mr. Penna said that n some 300 strikes occurred in the . state in mines during 1921, while h the union records, Mr. Hessler der clared, accounted for but 34. r He also upheld the wage scale be e fore the strike as reasonable, as did a Mr. Mitch. n ' ?

RUSSIANS FIRST AT CONFERENCI Genoa, April 10 (By the Associat ed Press).?Russia, the status o which is one of the questions of su hreme importance to be decided b; the economic conference, came to th forefront soon after the opening o that great assembly today. Speeche had been made by the presiding offi cer, Premier Facta of Italy, Mr. Bar thou, representing France; Premie . Lloyd George of Great Britain; Di Wirth of Germany, and spokesmen o Japan and Belgium, all of a concilia tory nature and voicing adherence ti the Cannes resolutions upon whicl the present gathering is based. Mr. Lloyd George had said that al the delegates met on a footing o equality, provided they accepted th< conditions set fc th, which, briefly declared that "countries must not re pudiate their contracre; that the: must not wage war on the institu tions of another; that they must' no engage in aggressive operation; against others and that the people 01 one country should be entitled to jus tice in the court of another. George Chicherin, Russian sovie1 foreign minister, in speaking for hi; delegation, announced their adher ence to the resolutions and then de clared that Russia was ready to sup port any proposal that would avoii war or lighten the burden of arma ment. M. Barthou immediately proteste< and declared with some heat tha France would absolutely refuse to dis cuss the question of disarmament a this conference. Mr. Lloyd George hastened to in tervene, and in his contention tha disarmament could not be taken up certainly not before a peace basi had been reached at Genoa, he wa supported by Signor Facta. Eventu ally the discussion on this point ceas ed after M. Chicherin said the Rus sian delegation wqu1<} bow to the col lective will of the conference. The clash between the Russian an; French delegates disclosed the fac that disarmament is not on the agen da and that therefore this matter i not to be taken up for consideration The keynote of Lloyd George' speech was peace. He made a pow erful appeal-to the delegates t<fworl in tittfonm f t?Aaf AtwiftA^k in uiiiouu xvii vuc i co wi a w i v/ii xja. relations and normal economic condi tins throughout the world. He# be lieved that if the conference was sue cessful in its achievements th "United States would not merel; come^in^but^o^e^in^gladly." ference, was equally earnest in til desire for unanimity and promise* the aid of Italy in carrying out an; resolution likely to guarantee peae and stability among the nations. M. Barthou pledged the loyal sup nort of France in whatever the con ference might do to put into effec the task of reconstruction and goo< relationship which jt has mapped oul "Toby" Coming Next Week Everyone will be glad to know tha Bert Melville's Comedians are comin to Union again, and will be here a next week. This is the third visi these popular players have made t Union. This time Toby and his con pany are coming under the auspice of the local post of the America Legion. The Union post is starting a can paign to raise funds for a permanen headquarters, and this engagemer with Melville's Comedians marks th first sten in the effort to raise funds. The growth of the local post of th Legion has been seriously hampere by lack of permanent quarters. Foi merly they met in Co. E's Armor^ As a result cf the fire the Legion i again homeless, and has definitely dt cided to make an effort to own a horn of its own. Several plans for Legion quarter are under consideration and in th mean time the work of raising fund will go on. There is no reason in the world wh the I^egion should not have comfort able headquarters here in Uni<5n. Oth er and smaller cities than Union hav already built nice Legion headquai ters ranging front small frame built] ings to magnificent club houses.

NATAL BUI IS UNDER DISCUSSION Washington, April lO.-r^Thc fight on the upval appropriation bill began in the house toaay with members insisting that it did and that it did not actually carry out the 5-5-3 ratio, as fixed by treaty. A1 day the discussion centered around this one big question in dispute. Chairman Kelly of the subcommittee on appropriations, which drafted the- measure, and others, including Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican leader, declared an enlisted force of 65,000 plus 2,000 apprentice seamen was adequate to maintain the navy in aecordanct with the arms conference rating. Others, however, including Representative Padgett of Tennessee, ranking Democrat on the navat committee, which in former times prepared the navy bills, asserted the figures were so low "as to destroy the efficiency of the American navy" and give it a standing the same qs or lower than that of Japan. In all there were seven speeches during the day, three for and four against the measure. Representative Byrnes eof South Carolina supported the committee proposals, joining Chairman Kelly and Mr. Mondell in its defense. On the other side the speakers with Mr. Padgett were Representatives Pinkham of Massachusetts, Husted of New York and Vare of Pennsylvania, all Republican members of tno appropriations committee Lwho signed a minority report urging , a force of 80,000 plus 6,000, and who declared the committee figures disrupted and ignored the treaty. There will be-two full days of general debate with more later when the personnel section is reached. Will the Woman Vote Redeem Old Union, S. C. It seems from the way the women ] think of Union, it needs turning upside down to get rid of h'omen of ill fame ana Dooueggers ana many otner contemptible things. Now, if Union is infested with these germs I say go at it and God be with you. It sems that we have plenty of officers to do this and some say, Why don't they do it? Well why don't the good people of this town help them? If the- good -women and good men of this.town will roll up their sleeves and -fall, in line with ^the men of law you will find him on his jol> hlways. 1 thing there is no* an officer on duty ihat would for once fail to do his duty 'tb uphold law and order, but if the peopl^ who krfow of these crimes do nothing but hoUpw and then when an officeif ask abouV. it they say, yes, you should atop it, ^butfy^oh, I don't pie should join in and help. Nothing nut Christians can do this. Mo other need not try. It takes grit and work to convert an evil into a good thing, i 1 think Union, S. C., lias the least j crimes of any town in the South to its size. I have been in them all and i the good men and women of Union could see the crime traffic in other towns they could enjoy living in old Union better. They say, "We don't like the present administration." 1 should think the present mayor and chief and other officers and council should be honored for their efforts to keep order, as Union has never in its history been confronted with such times. (Other towns have suffered more) as the world war has inflicted upon the j country as to crimes. Our officers have j gone into dives of many kind and riskI ed their lives and of their loved ones losing their father to uphold the law of our town when were were asleep, taking our rest, and their work was never brought to the public, to mar our feelings. All towns and communities have ill famed women and I guess Union has its share, but its impossible to wipeout all because it's been front the be ginning. Man's law is not as strong as God's, for He says such women ot characters must dig. There is the downfall of good boys also that can be-prevented only by Christian faith. We hear of the street question and want better streets, but if a bond is mentioned it's a' howl with some. Why? Because those who say "No bonds" are the ones who have the best streets and sidewalks and the\ don't like sidewalks. It's certain that no town can have good streets without money to build them. So if the people of Union want, good city streets you will have to go down in your jeans ami deep to $150,000 will not bu>ld West Main and East Main streets. We can get. that much and start, but if any man promises more good streets if elected without more money I can't believe him. It seems that the women's votes have the candidates guessing. Why so? Don't we know that 90 per cent of the married women will vote along with their husbands. It will just be more votes to count, than heretofore. So I can't see where any candidate can make any promises to do things that are impossible, only to be looked upon in scorn later. We have many things in view for good old Union and its people, but it's far off as the woman vote is just a baby now, but we hope to see good results in the future but as to the | present there must be many changes in money matters before we can have good city streets. We hjtVe the best people in Union than any town you can find in the States and if you had traveled as I have you would say so, too, and would be satisfied better than you are. All we need is to quit so much mud slinging and get to work for the good ol our town and people. The churches and the court house and many other places, including homes, need to be straightened out and put in order', and if we all will do* this or every one do his part for gdod of the law wo will not have so much time to find faull with others.

Great Cast Chosen for "Little Lord Fauntleroy" At no time in her career has Mary Pickford given more care to the choosing of a cast or to the assembling of suitable types than for her next United Artists film offering, "Little Lord Fauntleroy," which will be the feature at the Rialto Theatre beginning Wednesday.
