Coal Restricted—Investigation May End Strike. By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 16.—Although still confronted with the strike in the coal mines, and the possibility that work in the pits will not be resumed for several days at least, England faced this week end somewhat more hope- fully than it did the last, when it was threatened with sympathetic strikes | by the two other branchesof the triple alliance—the railway men and trans- | port workers. All labor quarters tonight were still excitedly discussing vesterday's action of the railway men and trans port workers in calling off their strikes and the effect of this move on | the future interests of labor. The| best hope for an early solution of the crists is held to lie in the new atti- tude for an independent investigation shown by a large scction of the house of common: It is even supposed in some quar that it was the sym- pathy which these members displayed on Thursday while listening to Frank Hodges, the miners’ federation sec- retary, which lcd him to go further than he originally intended in the; of a promise and so | direction DAMAGE INIRELAND PUT AT $20,000,000 Society of Friends Estimates Loss Caused by Crown Forces—Relief Needed. By the Associated Press. ;) NEW YORK, April 16.—The Ameri- can_committee for relief of Ireland tonight made public a report on an investigation of conditions in Ireland by a unit of the Society of Friends, in which the Quakers asserted that ma- terial damage “inflicted by the British brought. him into conflict with the miners. Use of Coal Restricted. In view of the possibility of a pro- tracted stoppage of mining opera- tions, the board of trade, in line with the other precautions which have been taken by government agencies, tonight issued injunctions for drastic enforcement of the regulations gov- erning the use of coal, light and pow- er. Local authorities are empowered to cut the supplies if any signs of waste appear and are asked to urge the public to exercise the utmost in- dividual economy. . No further move by the miners is expected before the conference in London next Firday, when representa- tives of miners throughout the coun- try will discuss what shall be done. One of the most important resuits of the narrowly averted tie-up of transport in the United Kingdom was the perfection of the volunteer or- ganizations, which last night were ready to take over the transportation of foods and the other essential serv- ices for the nation’s 45,000,000 people had the railwaymen and transport workers gone on strike. This work of organization continues with undi- minished vigor for the present crisis or any similar situation which may face the country, and the indications are that the organization will be made permanent, as a protection for the main arteries of the country's transport in cases of stoppage. Rallroads Are Curtafled. Enlistment in the defense corps, which aims to protect the voluntary workers, is being continued and it is stated there is no idea yet of shorten- ing the ninety-day term, in view of possible eventualities in the mining districts, where the volunteers may be called into service. Officials stated that the character of the emergency organizations has neither a strike nor an anti-strike nature, but that they are for the protection of the life and security of all the people without discrimination. The railways announced today that because of the coal shortage the main’ services of their railways would be curtajled a further 10 per cent be- ginning Monday. On the request of the government the stewards of the Jockey Club have abandoned all rac- ing under their rules until further notice. This step was taken to relieve forces within the past twelve months amounts to approximately $20,000,000." The unit, which was sent to Ireland by the relief organization in Febru- ary, also reported that there were “25 families in Ireland, numbering ap- proximately 100,000 men, women and children, in pitiful need of instant help from the American people.” said the re- signed by Samuel D. McCoy, il e composed “entirely of men and women who have quletly gone about their peaceful pur- suits all their lives and who have stead- fastly refrained from taking part in armed activities.” Report Made Public. The report, the result of extensive investigation in nearly 100 communities scattered throughout twenty-two of the thirty-two counties, was made public, officials of the American committee said, in order that the American people “may have _the opportunity of judging by this first-hand evidence of unbiased wit- nesses 4he extent of the destitution and suffering which, the American commit- tee is confident, they with their tradl- tional generosity will help to alleviate.” ‘The report did not include an offi- clal estimate®of “malicious damage” done to the city of Dublin, but sald that between October, 1920, and March, “the claims for malicious in- juries, including both material dam- age and death presented to the coun- ty court for Dublin, have amounted to 594,899 pounds. “The awards granted cut these claims to 222,928 pounds,” said the report. “At this moment we can hazard only the approximation that the material loss in Dublin during the past six months did not exceed 25,000 pounds.” The unit's figures of $20,000,000 ma- terial damage in Ireland, the report said, “coincides substantially with the,| total figures collected by Irish re- publican statisticians, and it should be noted, are less by" $5,000,000 than the estimate given us by a respon- sible crown official, who is informed in regard to the data in the pos- session of the crown.

Penn and Abram Grudd, distress quite separate and distinct from that distress in Ireland which arises from unemployment due to general trade depression; it is sepa- rate and distinct from the distress ariging from long continued poverty, such as may be observed in the slums of New York or Chicago or London; it is wholly separate and distinct from the economic distress of Irish women and children whose male rela- tives may be engaged in armed op- position to the British military forces operating in Ireland.” The report estimated that to repair the $20,000,000 damage to “Irish shop- buildings, factories, creameries and private dwelling houses” would cost $25.000,000, unless the cost of labor and materials were greatly reduced. The number of buildings damaged or partially or wholly destroyed, the re- port estimated, was upwards of six hundred. “Irish republican statisticans,” said the report, “place the number of prop- erty units destroyed at upwards of two thousand, but this includes not only buildings, but individual shops in buildings, their contents, isolated farm buildings, hay ricks, et Regarding labor conditions in the class of distressod people covered in the_investigation, the report said: “We may point out that even when| employed, the workmen in Ireland re- ceives a wage 80 low that it would be difficult for an American to under- stand how the Irish workman can sup- port himself and his family upon such a wage. Labor Is Poorly Patd. It Is No Longer a Question Of what refrigerator to get, for it’s generally known among house- wives that the Leonard Cleanable Refrigerator has so many more advan- tages than the ordinary refrigerator that it has really developed into a question of what style Leonard you should get rather than what make. The most popular style Leonard is the one we show above.- Close to three hundred women have already selected this type this year, and there’s a good reason why. This type has a cir- culation of air that permits fish, vegetables, milk and butter to be kept in the same refrigerator without one smelling of the other. all the time. “The present prevalling wage for ordindry unskilled labor ranges from $9 to $14 a week; even these who are 3 workers at electric powerhouses, for Here are the savings to be had on Columbia o S O Gufonqlas at the New Pre-War Prices The circulation of air is perfectly dry and you can keep ordinary matches—salt, or even ginger snaps, and they will keep perfectly dry in this farm laborers rarely more than §8. “Today the 25,000 families to which ‘we refer have not even this scanty income.” - O h b B was.-$273 mowgecy g: wps "; now : :.:'l“.:‘,f(},:;:n :::.3,: c,:’{o;;;'}":fi.fi{":“;.f type Leonard.
