FOUR HINERS FACE CONTENPT CHARGE Violation of Federal Injunc- tion in West Virginia Is Alleged in Arrests. By the 4 WHE Four me) Richland, soctated Prest LING, W. Va., April 17.— were arrested vesterday at near here, charged with contempt of court for alleged viola- tion of a Federal injunction granted the Richland Coal Co. two years ago by Judge William E. Baker. The ar- rests followed the issuance this morn- ing of a call for a general strike of coal miners in the four West Vir- ginia s ndle countie: It is chal 8 the men, who are em- ployes of the Richland Co., had agi- tated a strike and urged others to join in it. Frank Ledvinka, president of Ohio Subdistrict No. 5, United Mine Work- ers, having jurisdiction over the Pan- handle district, said the union would contest the injunction on the ground it was not executed legally. He sald the United Mine Workers are named in the order but had not been notified that it had been issued. Bail fixed ‘at $2,000 each will be furnished to- morrow, he said. About 4,000 on Strike. About 4,000 miners are employed in the four counties comprising the Panhandle strike zome. Union officlals issued a statement claiming that 92 per cent of the miners in Marshall and Brooke Coun- tles were idie and that in Ohlo County 75 per cent heeded the call. Spokes- men for the operators said the per- centage was not so large, but admit ted operations were serfously crippled. | BIG VOTE FOR UNIFYING. Conference Methodist Plan by 109 to 2.

'"ROOF WORK With all its millions in the Treas- ury, the Federal Government only recently began to reap savings made possible by paying its bills promptly. Until a few months ago only the War Department and the Reclamation Service made it a point to discount their bills regularly. That is, these two branches were the only ones reg- ularly to go after the 1 or 2 per cent discount offered on monthly bills by paying them within 10 days from date. How great the possibilities for sav- ing along this line can be glimpsed from the fact that the War Depart- ment saved $1,344,000 by the practice during three and one-half years. Sim- ilar savings chalked up to the credit of the Reclamation Service during 11 years were about $135,000. Total purchases by the Federal Government amount to from $250,- 000,000 to $350,000,000 annually, and on ‘much of this the discount would apply. On many purchases, of course, there would be no discount. At the lowest estimate, the Government could save $1,000,000 a year if all its pur- chasing agents adopted the policy It might save two or three times that sum. ‘When President Coolidge first learn- ed that only two branches of the great force working under his direc- tlon were practicing this obvious econ- omy. regularly he became much con- cerned. It is said that he was quite appalled at the opportunity to save which seemed to be going to seed. Word has gone out now that here- after all departments must discount their bills whenever possible. Many Details Involved. So much for some of the major policies. Now for some of the de- tailed savings within the recent past. The list is a long one and the fol- lowing instances have been selected at random. They are typical, big and small, of all savings. The Government spends about $100,- 000 an hour of every working day for passenger fares of its employes and frelght charges on its . goods. Time was in the recent past when nobody bought a round-trip ticket, even when excursion rates were in effect. Nowadays, under a new order, a clerk or officlal buving a one-way ticket to his destination and another one-way ticket back when he could save money by buying a round-trip ticket is subject to dismissal. Free use of the Government's tel- ephones for employes has been cur- tailed at the Treasury Department, with a saving of $1,500 a year. Pay stations are installed throughout the building and employes are required to use these stations when making personal calls. About $60,000 2 year is being saved at the Government Printing Office by requiring authors of Government pub- lications to revise their papers in manuscript form. Until recently they revised the proof, and some proofs were reset from 5 to 10 times. One revision only, except in extraordinary cases, is the rule today. Saving in Little Things. The Government has gone into the manufacture of its own mimeograph and multigraph ink at an_estimated saving of $25.000 a year. It is print- ing certain Government publications in smaller type at a saving of paper running close up to $100,000 a year. It has standardized the paper stock and sizes of letter heads and elimi- nated embossed stationery. The es- timated saving is $15,000 a_year. By doing the same thing in the case of wall calendars for the departments, it is saving about $5,000 a year. It is shipping its freight wherever possible in carload lots, thereby se- curing lower rates. It has obtained many lower rate classifications on certain commodities and is still press- ing the work. It has saved thousands of dollars in losses through the adop- tion of better methods of crating goods. Recently the New York post was Instructed to check up on postage on incoming letters. single month carriers collected than $30,000 in postage due. The principle has been applied to other large cities and probably will be car- ried into every sizable post office in the country. Receipts are now being taken by the postman for all insured mail which he delivers, thanks to a recent order born of the economy program. Al- most immediately claims for losses be- gan to fall off. The Post Office De- partment estimates that it will save by the adoption of this practice alone from $500,000 to $1,000,000 a year which otherwise would be paid out in indemniti A new division has been built up in the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the sole duty of which is to distribute in- coming letters and telegrams and col- lect and send forward outgoing com- munications.

By establishing a mechanical sys- tem of bockkeeping in the same bu- reau’s Washington headquarters, work heretofore done by 25 employes now requires the services of only 8. The Civil Service Commission con- solidated its three application blanks at a saving in printing of $120 a month. By using waste paper for scratch pads, the Federal Trade Com- mission has recently begun to save about $30 a month. Secretary Hoover has recently established a traffic man- ager for his department and by con- solidating shipments and sending slow freight East or West through the Panama Canal the new official is sav- ing the Government more than $3,000 a month. At the Patent Office it was found that a change could be made in the method of reproducing drawings of foreign patents. It was recently made and the work is not only mov- ing faster, but the Government is do- |}, ing it in the new way for about $1,250 a month less. The Weather Bureau recently adopted a lighter paper for its daily weather maps, at a_saving of about $2,000 a year. By building steps to its main structures with f{ts own forces instead of letting the work out, the Bureau of Standards recently saved $10,000. ‘And so it goes. In every branch of the Government service lessons in economy are going forward. To every bureau a dollar-saving specialist makes frequent visits. The whole ex- ecutive force is covered and the pres- ent program is apparently but the beginning of a systematic effort to cut Government costs which will be- come more extensive and further be- low the surface as time passes.

R-33 IS BACK SAFE AFTER BATTLING 28 HOURS WITH STORM (Continued from First Page.) virtually the whole time of the en- forced flight. Nose Smashed; Fabric Torn. After the R-33 had been anchored safely workmen began examining the craft. Her nose was smashed badly and the bar steel framework of the ship showed through great rents in the covering fabric. As the ship was made fast to her mooring alrplanes which had escorted her during the last few miles of her homeward jour- ney circied overhead. The crowds gathered at the air station closed in to get a better view of the returned dirigible, but were kept at a distance by_the authorities. While the R-33 hovered over her airdrome amazement became wide- spread among the watchers on the ground at the full extent of the ap- parent damage to the dirigible. The two artillery carriage wheels that were hung to the ship during the storm yesterday morning as additional anchors still were attached by long lines. When the landing lines were caught by the air force squads on the ground an accident was narrowly avolded when one of the artillery Wheels barely missed smashing the roof of a house. The R-33 was safely housed at 3:50 o'clock and the crew filed out of her cabin apparently little the worse for their ordeal. Booth Shows Strain. Not until the R-33 was safely and securely housed in the big airdome at Pulbam did Flight Comdr. Booth leave the craft. He clearly showed the effects of the constant strain of the wild flight. His haggard face was deeply lined with fatigue, and his clothes were begrimed with dirt and ofl. When congratulations were showered upon him Booth’s only com- ment was that he needed a little sleep. The other members of the crew received the plaudits of the crowds without demonstration, but some were enthusiastic when they accepted cigarettes, which they said they had wanted throughout the trip. Then relatives and friends took the men away for badly needed baths and rest.

Gen. Machado, President-elect of Cuba, who is in Washington on an unofficial visit, with his daughter and the other members of his party, vis- ited Mount Vernon today and placed a wreath within the tomb of George ‘Washington. The journey to Washington’s home was made aboard the Sylph, the pri- vate yacht of the Secretary of the Navy. Accompanying the party were representatives of the State Depart- ment and the American military services. Late this afternoon Gen. Machado will go to Arlington Natlonal Ceme- tery, where he will place a wreath ‘Iillhon the tomb of the Unknown Sol- er. Reception at Embassy. The stay of Gen. Machado in Wash- ngton thus far has been marked by signal honors and a rourd of official and social entertainment. When he returns from Arlington Gen. Machado will receive informally a number of friends in his suite at the Mayflower Hotel. Tonight there will be a re- ception at the Cuban embassy in honor of the general and his party. Numerous foreign dignitaries at- tended the dinner last night, which was held at the Pan-American Union, bat the occasion was purely social and devold of political significance, those close to the general maintained, taking occasion also to deny a re- port that he had come to the United States to negotiate a more advan- tageous commercial treaty and to dis- credit rumors that he would name his cabinet while here. The President-elect yesterday pre- sented a carved box, containing spe- clally made Cuban cigars, to President Coolidge. He met several notables at the White House luncheon, which lasted an hour and a half, and was afforded further opportunity to meet others at a tea given by R. R. Govin, Havana newspaper publisher, and Mrs. Govin latersin the day. Motors Around Speedway. An_ automobile tour around the Speedway, along the Potomac River, gave Gen. Machado and his party a chance to see the panoramf of flowers and blossoms and the Lincoln Me- morial. Two motor cycle policemen were detalled to accompany him, clearing traffic along the route. The brief shopping excursion followed. Gen. Machado, from time to time throughout his stay, has been in touch with Cuba by telephone, discussing governmental and personal matters with various officials and friends. Arising at 7:30 o'clock, he had the American newspapers read to him by an aide. He assured members of his party that he felt no fatigue and joined them in their delight over the cool weather of Washington after the heat they had experienced further South. Numerous cablegrams were recelved by the President-elect announcing proclamation of his election by unani- mous vote of the Cuban Congress and celebration of the event throughout the republic. “Vegetable Ice Cream” Found. In Ecuador, a native plant known as the cherimoya, is commonly called “vegetable ice cream,” because its white flesh has the consistency of firm custard and the combine ¢ flavor of pineapple, strawberry and banana. It is very popular among the natives.

The pew design will be Mr. Luke- man’s own and will include not only the figures of Confederate generals on the mountainside, but also a hall of fame below. Mr. Lukeman plans to make a_cen- tral group of the figures of Lee, Jack- son, Davis, two other generals vet to be chosen, and a standardbearer. At the mountain’s base will be a_circu- lar hall of fame, with 13 columns. Entabalatures between the columns will tell the story of the memorial in English, French, German, Greek and Latin, The monument will be ap- proached by a flight of stairs, each of which will represent a State of the Union. J Mr. Lukeman explained that the hall of fame will consist of a large circular bullding, 150 feet long, 50 feet deep and 60 feet tall, which will be cut out of the solid rock at the base of the mountain. The 13 col- umns, representing the 13 States of the Confederacy, will be tied together with a large band, on which the in- scriptions will be woven.

Bernet, president of the Nickel Plate, again came under cross-exami- nation today in hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission on the proposed merger of the Erie, Pere Marquette, Hocking Valley and Chesa. peake and Ohio with that road. Mr. Bernet said that the basis of the Chesapeake and Ohio participation in the merger had been satisfactory to the Miami Corporation of Chicago, which owns in excess of 10,000 shares of Chesapeake and @hio common stock. The owners, he said, included the McCormicks and the Deerings. “I wish you would tell us just as you would ‘an old friend,” said Com- missioner Meyer, “just why you work- ed out this plan of consolidation on the basis you did.” Studies Kinds of Traffic. “In my consideration of it,” Bernet replied, “I took into account each kind of traffic each one of the five com- panies had to handle and tried to form a judgment as to how each cor- poration could supplement the other in a merger. “We came to the conclusion that if the unified corporation could reach the standards of service of competi- tors it could be profitable. We then made a judgment as to what business would make the new stock worth and what the old stockholders could get. That was the final consideration. I've never operated a rallway on a statistical basis. There was no fixed formula.” Mary Pickford Loses Gems.
