fz?l D. C. HEADS FAVOR -PINCHOT PROPOSAL Believe Both Sides Should Give In to Bring An- thracite Peace. Hesponding to the wish of Gov. Pinchot that the people throughout the country let their will be known in the coal controversy, the District Commissioners today joined in ex- pressing the bellef that both sides ehould give in to avold a strike. Engineer Commissioner Bell, who is handling the fuel situation locally for the city government, said: “The people demand that both unions and operators accent the com- promise offered by Gov. Pinchot. In & case like this, ‘'where public health and public safety are lnvolved and the interests of the general pubkic age paramount, no one has the right to reject the decision of the duly ap- pointed representative of the Presi- dent of the United States. “Should the declsfon be rejected a way must be found to protect the rights of the people.” Commissioner Oyster added that in opinion the ‘only busine in which to settle such differences v _compromise. Commiszioner Rudolph. chairman of the board. who returned to the Die- !l‘lcl building today from his vacation, aiso voiced the hope that in the breathing spell of Labor day the con- ferees representing the miners and operaters would find & way to accept a seitltment that would insure con- tinued mining of hard coal. The Commiseioners are going for- _ward with the preparation of plans for distributing coal to Washington consumers if the strike continues, but are withkolding definite uction in the hope an agrecment yet will pe reach- od. BOYCOTT ON TALY ISURGED BY LABOR London Daily Herald Would Force Nation Economically to Arbitration. BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. Br Cable to The Star and Chicago Dally News. Copyright, 16; LONDON, September 3.—Under the heading “Bo; the British labor paper. Daily Herald, urges that immediate and drastic pressure be brought to bear upon the Italians by every member of the league of na- tions. This action, acording to Daily Herald, is imperative in view of Pre- mier Mussolini's refusal to permit league intervention in ité controversy with Greece “The Italian government has brok- en its promise,” asserts the Dally Herald. "It has repudiated its signa- ture, and treated the cove league as a scrap of paper. resorted to war without warning and has murdered a number of helpless, unfortunate people.

While the labor view of Ttaly's action 1s colored largely by socialistic hatred of Fascismo, it is but slightly more antagonistic than the viewpoint of the conservative press, which holds Italy strictly accountable to the league of nations for her warlike acts. The liberal Manchester Guardian declares the league has no alterna- tive but to face_its responsibility, despite Premier Mussolini’s ironical assertion that the occupation Corfu, Paxos and Antipaxos was not a warlike act. It the capture of Corfu was not a warlike act, the Guardian declures, then the Greeks might demand from Italy an indemnity of 150,000,000 lire, using the example of the italian gov- ernment in demanding 50,000,000 lire for the five murdered Italian mem- bers of the boundary delimination commission. Three times as many Greeks were killed during the bom- bardment of Corfu, the Guardian points out. Curzon Wants Intervention. Lord Curzon, arriving in London, uttered clearly his belief in the necessity for league - intervention, supporting unmistakably Lord Robert Cecil's determination to bring about a peaceful settlement with but without fear. No matter what selfish motives might actuate British statesmen in seeking peace in Eu- rope, nor how greatly they desire to show unswerving friendship for Italy, they stand four square for a settle- ment of the dispute by the league of nations and rofuse at this juncture to believe that Mussolini actually has refused the league's help. When Lord Robert Cecll speaks in the assembly of the league today he | will have behind him the unanimous support of his government, and of his people &t home and throughout the emplre., N\ (Copyright, 1923.)

Somé people like it, but I preter the forest and the camp fire and the rough lite.” . Such are the reasons glven by Mrs. Diana Strickland, a %ell known so- cloty woman, for organizing what she calls “an expedition of adventure and business” that wlill start soom for central Africa. The party will consist of two woni- en, four men and three hundred native porters. From Boma. on the west coast of Africa, it will make its way on foot through the Bahuni country, which is practically unexplored, umfl the Ituri forest to the north- oaat ngo. then east of Lake Ed- ward, and finally to Kenya. “We expect to be away for twelve months and L travel 3,000 miles, @l on foot,” said Mrs. Strickland, “The expedition 1s limited to six Europeans on account of the food difficulty, for we have to take it all with us, and this necessitates fifty native porters for each person, “We hope to trade in ivory and do some prospecting, and we_are also making a collection for the New York zoological gardens, and hope fo get an okapl, a giant fleld hog, and some lephants. all be pretty well armed, and even are taking a machine gun in case of a serious attack.

By the Assoc'ated Press CLEVELAND, September 3.—The menace of the next war overshadows all other issues which confront the {laboring faan and “the achlevements {of centuries of human progress will be swept away'by another red tide unless the workers exert their politi- cal power to banish forever this scourge mankind,” Warren 8. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, sald in a Labor day message today. “American labor can render no greater service than to secure the co. operation of forward-looking m and women in this country as well as in other lands for the maintenance of permanent world peace,” Mr. Stone asserted. “The second great issue in which the workers of America are involved is the struggle between autocracy and democracy in industry. The sta bility, the harmony and the prospe ity of the natlon's economic fabric is at stake. There cannot, there should not be, industrial peace until the men who invest all they have—their labor and their lives—in the nation's basic industries have a volce in directing the destiny of those Industries at least equal to that of the men who merely invest their money. Jemocracy in government goes hand in hand with democracy in in- duetry. Because we have ignored the latter, we are in danger of losing the former. It the workers of America are not to slip back into a state of economic serfdom. they must organ- 13e their political power as never be- fore, und use it regardless of party labels to secure honest, efficient, and imperial government. Here lies the remedy for the usurped veto power of the courts which enables a few re- actionary judges appointcd for life and removed from the voice and | ineeds of the people io nullify child labor laws, minimum wage protection |for women; and other humane re- forms repeatedly enacted by Con-| gress in response to the almost unan- imous demand of the American peo- ple. of | Pleads for Pence. “On this day consecrated to the holiness of human toll, the workers of the nation take stock of what they have already achleved, redirect thefr course in line with labor's ideals, and pledze anew their devo- tion to the cause of creating a hap pier. nobler and more abundant 1ife for ‘all mankind. For labor's pur- poses are not selfish “But the present Labor day finds us at one of the most critical peri- ods in the American history. Prob- | lems such as our grandfathers never | knew are pressing upon us for so- Jution. The conferences and in- trigues of diplomats and politicians, the cxhortations of - clergymen, and | the rewlutions of all morts of civic {clubs have alike failed to solve these | problems. 1t remains for the masses of the workers who produce and transport all the necessities of life to organize and use their economic and political power if civilization itself is to survive the forces of hate, greed and selfishness which now imperil it.” BOTH CAMPS REST IN MINE DISPUTE | Lewis Cancels Engagement; to Speak—Many Picnics of Workers Held. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., September 3. —Labor day found both sides in the anthracite wage controversy, which has resulted in a complte suspension | of production, practically inactive. The conference of operators and miners which recessed on Saturday without any vital change in the sit- uation, will be resumed Wednesday iin_Hafrisburg. The operators scattered to their homes and the union representative returned to their respective hea quarters ;to stralghten out any m! understafidings that might crop up with reference to the employment of maintenance men to keep the mines free of water, gas and_cave-ins. President Jjohn L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers planned _to speak at a Labor day outing today and vice president Philip Murray was scheduled to address a mass meeting in_the coal regions. The day was generally observed in the hard coal territory with mass meetings and outings at which labor leaders made addresses. Later President Lewis canceled his engagement to address the Labor day outing. His secretary msaid he | would be out of town most of the |day. Information as to where he went was withheld. MINERS HAVE HOLIDAY. SCRANTON, Pa., September 3.—Idle anthracite mine workers, who sus. pended work Friday when their wag: contract expired, generally devoted Labor day to outings today. In this cng there was no special celebration. A big athletic meet was held at Tay- lor, near here, where District Pres! dent Rinaldo Cappellini of the miners union was scheddled to speak. Clergy- men in their sermons vesterday to their congregations, made up of many mine workers and their familles, urged an early peace. Bishop Hoban, who was summoned to Harrisburg last week by Gov, Pinchot, repeated his statement of a few days ago that he regarded the governor's peace proposal a fair one {on which to negotiate a settlement.

The Japanese embassy today Is without any direct official advices as |to the extent of the catastrophe in Japan, A. Aokl, secretary of the em-| bassy sald today. In the absence of direct communication with Tokio, the embassy staft is today going over every avallable newspaper account of the earthquake. The Japanese ambassador to the United States, Masanao Hanihara, rushed back to Washington last night, cutting short his vacation near New York. and immediately dispatch- ed a message by radio to the Japanese capital asking for detallg of the ca- tastrophe beyond the meager press aispatches. Hopes for Mensage. The embassy hopes hourly for a definite answer to its radio message, or of some message of reassurance as to the safety of the Japanese royal family, and the extent of the damage to the principal cities of the island em- pire. Attaches, realizing that com- munication across the Pacific ocean may not be resumed for days, hope the return message may be relayed across Asia and Europe. Mr. Aokl expresed the conviction today that a majority of the Ameri- cans In Tokio and Yokahama, particu- larly those in Japan in an official capacity, were probably at one of the eral summer resorts in the neigh- orhood of Japan's two principal cities. Although Nikko was reported to have been partially destroyed, Mr. Aoki_sald the Americans probably would not be in the city itself. Nikko is about five hours' ride by train from Tokio as is Karuisawa, another sum- mer resort where the Americans might be. - Hakone Hot Springs, at the base of the Japanese sacred mountain, Mount Fujiyama, is another summer place where Americans might be, Mr. Aoki said. This place is about two and one-half hours' ride from Toklio. Acepts Relfef Offer. Ambassador Hanlhara sald he felt certain the imperial family was safe, although the palace might have been destroyed. A tender of speedy relfef, made by the American Red Cross, has been accepted by the ambassador. Acting Secretary of State Phillips called at the Japanese embassy yes- terday to express personally his sym- pathy and offer his condolences to the Japanese ambassador. He also cabled a message for the Japancse govern- ment to the American ambassador at Tokio, readin: “Pleage convey to the minister of forelgn affairs an expression of the heartfelt sympathy of this govern- ment In the appalling catastrophe which has befallen the Japanese people and assure him that this coun- try is anxious to do whatever lles in'its power to alleviate the grief and suffering in Japan. “‘Please also convey to the minister an expression of my personul and profound sympathy.” ‘While they anxlously pored over the press dispatches containing dis- connected and meager accounts of the tragedy in their home land, attaches of the embassy today discussed with the stoicism of their race and in low tones what Ambassador Hanihara re- forred to as the ‘“most horrible catastrophe” in the history of Japan. The embassy, closed for many days in the absence of the ambassador in New York, together with a majority of the staff, was hushed and solemn. Their anxiety was heightened by the lack of definite news, not only of their ruler, but of their own loved ones, nearly 7,000 miles away. At the home of the bassador, 1321 K street, trunks were being hastily un- packed -and servants were cleaning the stately residence, while at the embassy headquarters, 1310 N street, attaches gathered in small groups and discussed in hushed tones the catas- trophe. Newspapers were piled high on desks while members of the staff sought out with some degree of def- initeness a word from official sources in_the Japanese capital. Before Ambassador Hanihara left New York yesterday afternoon he had communica! with the embassy by telephone, but learned nothi be. yond the information published in the newspapers. " Belf Buiter.

CHICAGO, September 3.—An intelli- gencé test for the man or woman who drives a motor car is a possibility with- in the next two or three years. Representatives of thirteen middl western states are to be invited to at {tend the conference of motor vehicle administrators, representing state au- tomobile licensing bureaus, to be held here early in September, at which plans will be made for working out safety- first laws for automobilists and pedes- trians. The movement is being fos- tered by the National Safety Council. The convention is to be called by Fred M. Rosseland, chief of the public safe- ty division of the National Bafety | Council. “The man who drives a car for somebody else must pass an examina- tion” said Walter V fller, chief clerk of the automobile division of the Ilinois department of state. “But anybody can drive an automobile if he owns it, whether he has ordinary horse sense or not. “The accidents do not happen to licensed chauffeurs. They happen to the unskilled dyivers. The conference will make plans for uniform laws to govern the licensing of automobile operators to see If they are sufficient- ly competent mentally to handle a motor driven vehicle. Some form of intelligence test is likely to be de- vised Representatives of the state de- partments of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Towa, Missouri, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebras- ka and North and South Dakota will be invited. It is hoped to have the conference just prior to the meeting of sec N. C., September 13, 14, 15. There is a real need, according to the officials sponsoring the confer- ence, for uniform laws of driving to lessen the death rate. One way Sug- gested is to prevent a man who never has handled a car before from buying a machine and promptly setting forth as if he were an experienced driver. This prevalent custom could be pre- vented, they say, by forcing the | Gealer by law to see that everybody {to whom he sells a car is thoroughly instructed before he is permitted to operate it on the public highways. WALES WILL VISIT HIS RANCH QUIETLY Plans to Make Trip to Can- ada Unofficially as Duke of Cornwall. CALGARY, Alberta, September 3.— | When the Prince of Wales visits 1his ranch near the High river, Alberta, | this fall, be will travel from England in an unofficial capacity as the Duke |ot Cornwall, according to W. L. Car- |lyle, manager of the establishment, | Who has recently: returned from Eng- land. The prinod will stay. here quietly several weeks, and then re- turn direct to London. The ranch of the prince is one of the foremost live stock breeding es- tablishments in western Canada. He bought it four years ago on his last visit and since then has stocked it with a large number of thoroughbred horses, shorthorn cattle, Shropshire ecp and Dartmoor ponles. These animals have been 1 from King George's own breeding estab- lishment and represent some of the best blood in the world. The prince’s purpose in establish- ing the ranch was to raise the stand- ards of live stock in western Can- 8da. As a step in this direction he diready has held several sales of ghorthorn cattle and Shropshire sheep and the animals have brought top prices in Calgary. His stock has been exhibited at all the big live stock shows in western Canada and has carried away a number of first prizes. All of the pure-bred horses have come from the royal stables in England and a number of them have been out- standing winners on British tracks.

Held Here Article 11 Allows Body to Intervene in Dis- pute of Any Nations. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Italy's refusal to permit her con- troversy with Greece to be considered by the league of mations at Geneva, on the ground that the present Greek government has not been recognized by the powers us 'egal, need not prevent that league from assuming Jurisdiction This is the view taken by those who have studled the covenant of the league of natlons, particularly the famous article 11, which was so often interpreted by Presidert Wilson In his speeches as giving any nation the right to bring to the attention of the {league any dispute in any part of the world likely to affect the peace of the world, whether it was Dbetween a member of the league and & non-mem- | ber. Indeed, Lord Robert Cevil on his recent visit' to the United States de- clared that under article 11, the rep- aration dispute coulg be considered but that out of deference to the wishes lof France the controversy had not been taken up because the parties in- terested believed they could ultimately adjust the matter by direct negotia- tion between governmnts. League is Appealed To. In the present case one of two parties to the dispute actually ap- pealed to the league, which cannot say it will keep hands off out of deference to Italy, without seeming to take the side of Italy. The ques- tion of whether the present Greek government has the right to appeal to the league is not considered per- tinent here, for it is pointed out by, International lawjers that the Grek membership in the league is not a membership of any particular dministration or relgn, Wit is per- manent. Tn other words the Greek nation enjoys the membership to the fullest extent irrespective existing type of government In Greece. Nutions do not lose their treaty right simply because of internal revolution or domestic di turbance. Ample precedent is afford- ed in the case of the United States and Mexico. No recognized govern- ment has existed in Mexico for sev- eral years, but the United States has insisted upon protecting American property rights under earlier treaties made between the Mexican peoplé and the American people. The general feeling. here is that Ttaly has seized upon the pretext of an unrecognized government in Athens as a means of shelving the issue, s0_far as the league is con- varned. It involves the acid test of the league's real strength. Should the league of nations accept the Ital. ian Interpretatiom and keep hands off, article 11 of the.covenant will become a dead letter and faith in the league itself will be lost by many of its warmest supporters. _Should the league, on the other hand, step in and call Italy to task for violating the Versallles treaty—as the covenant is an intégral part of the treaty—the prestige of the Geneva institution will rise considerably. Must Wait Three Months, The main value of the league, which has been admitted even by its staunchest opponents, has been that part of the Versailles covenant which makes it obligatory for any nation having a dispute with another to wait at _least thrée months before begin- nifig hostility. The bellef was that during the thres months’ inquiry a peaceful solution would be devised, D.

The doctrine of a cooling-oft spell was promulgated by Sccretary of State William Jennings Bryan in thirty treaties between the United States and all the important powers of the world except Turkey.

While the United States govern- ment {8 not taking any part in the effort to bring Italy and Greece to- gether, the authorities here are watching to see whether the medi- ation of the league of nations will be successtul.
