BALDWIN DOUBTS [¥ COML PEACE Tk in Strike—Women March for Strikers’ Cause. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 17.—Premier Bald- win himselt seems to have very small hope of an early settiement of the coal strike. Speaking on this contro- versy at a po- Ilflfll demonstra- tion at Norwich today, the prime tainister admitted he had no idea how long the dis- mute would last. He ~blamed the owners and min- ers equally for their refusal to face the facts, and was rather ironic concerning the at- tempts of the bish- ops and church leaders to recon- cile the conflict- they wm -uccved I shall welcome'a solution from any quarter, however unitkely.” The premier has agreed to receive a deputation from the Anglican and Free Churches Monday evening. In a letter to the Bishop of Lichfield he made it clear that the goverhment could not assent to any further coal subsidy. ¥ Women in Demonstration. Woman labor sympathizers today staged a demonstration in Hyde Park in behalf of the coal miners, - More than 3,000 of them .marched from the Thames embankment to Hyde Park through London’s fashion- able West End, covering the same route which had been followed by the women'’s great peace parade and equal suffrage parade on recent Saturdays. The women gathered around three speakers’ platforms in Hyde Park and pmed resolutions ~expressing their “‘deep indignation” at the govern- ment’s handling of the coal strike. On the way to Hyde Park the marchers swept piiss the exclusive club district of Piccadilly and S8t James street, where they taunted the bmen with cries “Why don't u do some work?”’ and “Go and earn your living.” The women, wearing minature min- ers’ lamps and red rosettes, were led by Mrs. W.. M. Adamson, wife of a lahorite member of Parliament, who carried a banner on which was printed the miners’ slogan: “Not a penny of the pay, not a minute on the day.” The marchers occasionally broke into. various communistic songs, such as “The Red Flag” and the “Interna- tionale.” Attacks Eight-Hour Bill. The government's eight-hour bill was assailed by Miss Maud Royden, well known preacher and social- work- er, who spoke at one of the platforms in Hyde Park. ‘““It-is like asking the miners- to. go_back to the trenches in ured and exhausted,” she said of the 1N Dr. Marion Phillips said that money for the relief of miners’ families, not only was coming from Russia, ‘but elso from Germany. She appealed to the public to offer their homes for short holidays for the miners’ chil- dren, and asked that clothing, which s badly needed, be donated. CULT TRICK DRIVES WOMEN TO SUICIDE Mystical Group’s Extortion Plan Brought to Light by “Ace of Spades” Deaths. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 17.—A cult of mys- tics, preying chiefly upon women, is being sought by the police in con- nection with a score of “ace of spades” suicides. The cult in its reputed dens of mystery amid gorgeous draperies and the odor of incense is said to work with decks of playing cards. The ace of spades displays the print of a black deyil the emblem of doom. The laying of cards is conducted with great ceremony. At the first sitting the ace of spades never fails to turn up. /Driven to distraction, Supersti- tious women who come to the cuit for advice are told that on payment of fees running up to 5,000 marks they can get more “layings” to chase away the dark Mephistopheles. Some women pay and the devil never again appears. Fright drives others to suicide. Fragmentary secrets of the cult were disclosed recently by a wellto- do business man who found his wife hanging dead in a closet on his re- turn home. The same t a girl 20 years old leaped from Bridge into the Spree Canal ing, “Mephisto! Mephisto! drowned before aid could reach her. 500 GOING TO.EUROPE.

It was in an effort to find means of 'bringing to ‘public attention the costly toll of life and limb exacted by industrial activities, and thus lead to remedial action, that Secretary of Labor Davis summoned the indus- trial aceident prevention: conference, Wwhich was held here this week. - The ptblic eye is aftracted by a published statement that automobile accidents in the United States last year cost some 22,000 lives and caused bodily injury to several hun dred thousands of persons, and the public tongue wags. Traffic police- men appear in tiny hamlets and elab- orate regulations govern travel on the most remote rural highways. ‘Vast.Toll of Industry.

A Diilion dollars a year.is lost in wages on: account of industrial ac- cidents, according to another estimate glven at Secretary Davis' conference. One of the factors, which trouble those who would appease the public conscience regarding this industrial toll ‘fs that so many figures neces- sarily must be given as estimates. There are no accurate. national statfs- tics. - It is considered essential that accident figures be gathered in detall. They can be studied by types and definite characteristics. - If this be done ‘results probably will péint to remedies. There is pending in Con- gress a bill to_create a division ‘in the Department of Labor to assemble and analyze such ' statistics. that 85 per cent of dents are preventable, rison, secretary of the American Fed. eration of Labor, pointed out that of the 77 killed lnd 8,331 hurt every working day in the year, 64 die need- lessly and 7,080 are injured needlessly. ; Not a New Subject. Industrial safety is not a new sub- Ject, but it is ome which has been approached only in spots in an. or- ganized mannmer. ' ‘Transportation and mlnlnz stand out as industries which have had safety appliances thrust upon backward members by legisla- tion. Yet astqunding differences exist - between -various-railroads and between mines and between factories of the same class as to the number and severity of accidents. Accidents in coal mines cause a loss equivalent to 8 or 10 per cent of the entire work- ing time of the industry, yst some mines have a rate of less than one-halt | in of 1 pér cent.

Over here it is felt that Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill has not erred on the side of severity. On an énormous capital debt of 647,000,000 pounds sterling, France is to pay an annuity of 12,500,000 pounds. The British government has foregone the right to place French bonds on the market, and the French insistence on the. necessity for modification of the terms, should reparation payments fail, while not admitted in the actual agreement, virtually is conceded in a covering letter. Englishmen who have to raise some 30,000,00 pounds yearly to meet the Interest alone on the money lént to France may well look ruefully at such terms in the settlement, but at least feel that they have earned the right to a respite from accusa- tions of avarice from the other side of the Channel. It is difficult, how- ever, to belleve such a reaplte will be granted. Profound skepticism is felt here with regard to the future of the franc. Although the technical prob- lem of stabilization is not at all diffi- cult, there is no evidence as yet of real determination- to deal with it. The fact that with the gold reserve of the Bank of France equal, at pres- 'ent rates of exchange, to more than 60 per cent of the note still proposed to mbllln the franc with -the help of credits from abroad is felt to indicate a desire to avoid facing the issue, which augurs fll for uln: u.d“m of the measures contem- Pl N DeldlneklnCuler The struggle in the coal mines continues unabated. So far as it is possible to see at present, there is no sign that the passage of the eight- hour law evoked any response among the strikers. Here and there &mall bodies of men are reported to have returned to work, but in the main they have remained firm, and the deadlock is as severe as ever, Meanwhile there have been two events which may lead to develop- ments later. Early in the week the Archbishop of Canterbury, acting through the - Industrial Chrl-uan Fellowship, annroached the miners’ executives .and lald ‘before them plans for a settlément which are said to have made a favorable impression. Even more important, 'l'hurlhy for the first time since the calling off of the general strike, a meeting took place between the Trades Union Council and the miners. The ofllchl statement of the proceedings vague, and accounts of what actu-lly took place vary greatly; but it is known that many members of the Trades Union Council are now seri- ously alarmed at the effocts of con- tindance of the strike on its funds and membership, and it is felt that once having established a contact, it is' not likely to leave any stone un- turned in the search for a basis of resumption of negotiations, Lady Astor Again.
