The strike began November 5. 5 Members of ‘the commission, the district executive board of the min- ers’ union and representatives of the strikers held a long, stormy session today, at which it w agreed to ask the men to end the strike.

Physical and -Mental-Bet- terment of Residents Sought.. Renewed activity among the clubs of ‘Washington is strongly evidénced by the Winter program of the ‘Woman' City. . Club, at 22 . Jackson place. It is a program which is of interest to all Washingtonians, for its full development will mean better physical- and mental health, the American privilege of voting as well as paying taxes and the saving of lives. which pass and repass along their busy thoroughfares. The chairmanships of the commit- tees who have the respopsibility of the development of thls program are bold by women active in Washington affairs. Dr. A. Frances Foye is the president of the club, to whom all committees report. ‘The chairman- ships of some of the larger commit- tees are as follows: Mrs. Isaac Gan chalrman of the District suffrage committee; Mrs. Robert J. Ashe, chairman of the forum luncheons committee; Mrs. John Lorenz Steele, chalrman of the public utilities com. mitsee; Mrs. Albert Manly, chairman of the dramatic committee; Mrs. Susie R. Rhodes, chairman of the commit- tee on parks, playgrounds and gar- dens; Mrs. L. B. Swormstedt, chair- man of the committee on citizenshi Mrs. George VW Eastment, chairman of the educational committee; Miss C. Larrimore Keeley, chairman of the law and legislation committee, and Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle, chairman of the committee on amusements. One of the stated objects of the Woman's City, Club is “‘to advance the civic d social welfare of the city of Washington.” In a serles of in- terviews the members have told in Just what way this advance is to be made during the Winter of 1924-25. Physiefan's Viewpolnt. In her physician's mind, the pro- gram of her club represents to its president, Dr. A. Frances Foye, better health for the minds and bodles of Washingtonians. She evidenced her interest in the preservation of parks and trees. “Trees contribute so much in actual physical health to the community— so much in protection against the Summer heat here In Washington, giving, as they do, a supply of clean new oxygen in exchange for carbon dioxide gas; throwing spots of shade upon the sun-beaten streets, and solace to tired minds and eyes with their living greens. We have already lost more than we could well spare in the city. PDuring the war bullding 5.000 were cut away. To awaken Wanshingtonians to the dally destruc- tion of these valuable sources of health and beauty and to prevent further despollation is one of our big jobs.” port Red Croas. i “We are always Interested in the’ drives for national health. Each year wé support the American Red Cros =in such -materlal ways as our pocket- books and time allow.. We were par- ticularly ‘nterested this year in the Visiting Nurses’ campaign. The visit- ing nurse, even in a community as ad- vanced as we like to consider ours, does a -work of tremendous im- portance—a work of real service, which our clubwomen were not slow to recognize, The moral support of the club is of necessity back of ‘an organization which sends its blue- cloaked women into the homes of bedridden young mothers and those of dear old ladies too feeble to care for themselves. “In a city where so many of our workers are ‘mental workers,’ teas and card parties and musicals offer to the working woman. relaxation from the strain of the day, and so we plan to have a Winter of real en- tertainment. For mental health, 8o closely associated with physical health, we must afford both activity and relaxation. We are vain enough at the City Club to think we provide both.” Citizen's Plea for Suffrage. “The bugaboos of the District vote! As, immaterial as the stuff that all bugaboos are e of, they vanish into nothingness at the touch of re: son.” This is the way Mrs. Isaac Gans, a lifelong District citizen, chairman of the District suffrage committee of the Women's City Club, disposes of the objections which are frequently always made by its oppo- nents when District suffrage is men- tioned. “In a city where one-fourth of our population is composed of the most intelligent colored element in the country, it is as foolish to speak of that vote's menace as it was to speak of the menace of woman suffrage,” said Mrs. Gans. “One has only to | broad look at the beautiful and plentiful schools which our colored population attends; one has only to attend the meetings of the faculties of tHose schools; one has only to meet the leaders of the movement for colored advancement to realize the great work that is being done and to real- ize the degree of intelligence of this so-called ‘menace. Approves Tax Ratio. “The Government's taxes! the should be in any way changed? seems to me the proportion of taxes which the Government now bears.is well in ratio with its possession of some of our choicest bits of real es- tate and the improvements thereon. Government buildings, not only for the use of Washingtonians, but for the enjoyment and instruction of the entire country, should certainly be bulit and supported by the whole Dnited States and not by the smallest We are going to have it in- the form of-visita-to the various Senators. and Representatives on the Hill, to- whom We must appeal for the chance to be- come real Americans. And we are going to work especially hard to get the members of: the District commit- tee to get behing Senate Joint Resolu- tion 15 and House Joint Resolution &4 and make of us .poor ‘taxpaying, but voteless, Washingtonians true Amer- icans : The Hestess’ View. Mrs, Ashe, in her capacity as chairman of the Forum Luncheon Committee, said: “Ws have been more than fortunate In the speakers we have procured. Last Saturday our educational section, under the lead ship of Mrs. George W. Eastment, had with them Dr. Willlam Mather Lewis, who talked upon the American university student and the advan- tages his education gives him. Judge James T. Lloyd, president of our Dis- trict Board of Education, in talking of elementary education, gave ‘us some astounding facts in' regard to the situation among our school children. It was an awakening mo- ment for those of us who do not has young 33«:«: in “school, and in con- Sequence were not cognisant of con- ditions.* And' Miss Katherine Arnold, recently’ réturned 'from her. .poaition as professor of mathematics at Con- stantinople College for Women, made s glad that pur own daughters have Desn brought up in Waabington snd ‘A’ feast of -reason_and a:flow of #oul over the crisp wuflles which Mrs. Beem, our- club housekeeper, pro- DR. A. FRANCIS FOYE. vides for us—" It was in this way that Mrs. John Lorenz Steele described the meetings of her public utilities committee. “And It is our plant this Winter to point out to the District com- mittes that more traffic policemen, or rather the money to pay more of them, will help save’ the lives of Washingtonians which are being taken go freely on our Washington streets, Thera would be no end of money to track out sharpshooters if they shot our citizens behind their backs: a sane provision against the speeding autoists who have taken and are still taking such a toll of lives would be simply to provide more vigilance. ! “If we can make some of the mem- | bers of Congress see some of our District problems, as wo succeeded in doing in two very important in- stances last Winter, we shall have! accomplished a great deal. We only need greater understanding from the gentlemen on the Hill, and I know we'll get it if we go after it. And that Is just what we propose to do. “Our public utilities luncheon in February is going to provide a sur- prise to both our members and to Washingtonlans. I don’t dare give it away vet. With women like my as- ociates, Mrs. Frank Hiram Snell, M. T. Morss, Mrs, Albert H. Put- mer R. Saul, Mrs. Robert Mrs. Jerome J. Lightfoot | Frank F. Parks, T am bound | work. They would push me to it, even if I wanted to be lazy, and I don't.” “It is really so difficult to find good plays for women actors, for we dare | not have men in them, you know.” Mrs. Albert Manly, a dramatist of experfence in film and chau- tauqua work, mentions this difficulty | as one which must be overcome once | a month at the club. For once in every moon the Drama Circle pre- sents for its own entertainment and that of the members of the club a| little play. Much reading and discus- | sion have led to the choice of Loulse | Latham Wilson's “The Hiring Line’— | a comedy of the trials of the modern | young housekeeper looking for a maid. It is easy to imagine that she will_have old -maids who will object to drafts and Swedes who will not sleep in_an east room and a dark- town lady or so who will object to the washing being “kept in" before she finds the perfect one on the “Hir- ing Line.” Mrs. Manly has not forgotten to add the artistic touch to the comic one. To this end she has asked Miss Catherine Brooks to sing a group of songs and Miss Mildred Schulz, gifted Washington pianist, to play. They| have both accepted, and 80 January dramatics at the club are complete. THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Fair and much colder today; tomorrow fair; continued cold.
