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.

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

desire for unanimity and promise*

The Union post is starting a can

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.

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.
The leading character role, that of
the eoutv and irrascible old Earl of
Dorincourt, is played by Claude Gillingwater,
footlight veteran, whose
recent success was as the grouch in
'Three Wise Fbols." Mr. Gillingwater
has many other triumphs to his
credit, "having been on the speaking
stage for more thun 25 years. This
represents his first venture in pictures.
Joseph Dow ling, who registered the
pinnacle of cinema fame in "The Miracle
Man," is playing the part of Hav- ?
isham, the dignified, understanding J
and shrewd solicitor whose analytical .
mind does much to help solve the. e"y;r^S

of the story. Those three lovable

in their respe.tive order By James
Mar-us, Kat_> Price and Fred Malatesta,
Marcus played Hobba, the grower
i i the original Fauntleroy cast on
'.he s'age in 1888. Kate Price is recVnixed
as one of the greatest delineators
of Irish character parts on the
screen. As the mother in Mary Pickford's
"Amarilly of Clothesline Alley"
she was a tremendous hit. She
also appeared in Miss Piekford's last
production, "Through the Back Door";
also with Douglas Fairbanks as Mrs.
Canby in "Arizona." The Lasky features
that Kate Price has appeared in
are far too many to enumerate, and
she was one of the first stage actresses
to take up picture work.
Fred Malatesta has- shown to splendid
advantage in the folowing features:
"The Mask," in the part of Enrico
Korala, for First National; "Big
.tappiness," as Raoul Bergerac, for
Robertson Cole; "The Sins of Rostnne,"
in the role of Revannl. a Lasky
play. Malatesta is expected to give

New York cronies of the little Lord.
Rose Dione will play Minna, the adventuress
who challeneged Lord
Kauntleroy's claim to the title. Miss
Dione h is done excejent character
work in many productions; most consjuculous
perhaps are "Suds" in which
she played Mine. Didier; Goldwyn's
"The Great Lover," in which he interpreted
the role of Mm". Sabatini;
"The World and Its Woman," where
she took the pail of Irena.
The role of The Stranger, husband
,.f the adventuiess, will be ftiken bv
Arthur Thalasso, who will be reniembered
for his work as .Joe Sylvia in \l

as Svengali in Lasky's "A Dollar-aYcai
Man."
Miss I'ickford's custodian of personal
wardrobe, Mine. Bodamere, who beK'an
her picture career in "Through
the Back Door," will have a very good
part in "Little Lord Fauntleroy." She
will be .Mrs. lliggins, peasant woman
and mother of a brood of twelve children.
