SOFT COAL BCOM MAY HOIST PRICES West Virginia Miners Reaping Big Wage Harvest—Deal- ers Here Warn Public. The bituminous coal flelds of West Virginia, which were glad to eke out | bare operating expenses until a| strike closed the anthracite mines, have been plunged into an era of, prosperity that has resulied in the operators voluntarfly raising the wages of all classes of mine labor from 30 to 50 per cen ding to advices recefved by sl STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1926. THEY RECEIVE PARENTAL BLESSINGS dealers from the soft-coal distric With the price of spot coal, which | means coal that was not contracted for last Summer, up to the ¥ peak already, it 1s declared t wage increase poseibly will result ini bituminous fuel reaching the highest | price levels-in the history of the in-| dustry. This, they add, may bring ] sharply advanced retall prices toi Washington consumers, already bur-, dened with unprecedented coal bills. | Warning Against Panic. In the face of this condition, how- ever, local merchants issued a warn- ing to bituminous coal consumers here not to become panic-stricken &nd buy in unusual quantities 15 still a plentiful supply of & in the dealers’ bins, and it Is pos: ble that some factor now unseen m plunge the bituminous market dov to far more reasonable levels within @ very brief space of time. Should exceptional demands be made on the reserve supply on hand now, it 1s asserted, the dealers would be forced to go out In the field and bid for replacement fuel at the very top of the market. The price of goft coal is threatening to reach the ex- clusive levels hitherto reserved only for the cleaner and longer hurning anthracite, of which there are pros- pects of a plentiful supply for the re- mainder of the Winter. West Virginia newspapers are fea- euring the unexpected wave of pros- perity that has swept into the| uminous fields as a result of the! ssation of mining in England. De- suands for coal for foreign export are | flooding the mines with orders and | even the little old “horse mines,” | which had been closed as entirely un profitable, are being reopened and are reaping a harvest in return for car loads of hastily mined and formerly undesirable run-of-the-mine bitumi nous. Comparison of Wages. The Fayette Tribune, in the heart of the Kanawa and New River dis tricts, prints the following scale of new and old wages that will be pald as a result of the increase, showing the large sum that will be added to the nation’s fuel bill Class of Work naide day labor fotormen H rivers, one mule rivers, two mul Track layers Heipers ... taln shooters jreasera % g‘fl men trappers. Tranpers Spraggers Couplers Loading. per ton Cutuing. per ton These wages are retroactive to No- vember 1, the paper announces. In sume instances they represent pay- ment per ton mined and in others the daily wage. This represents reversion to the old Jacksonville scale, which was imposed upon the mines in 1922 by a board of arbitration and which the operators announced they could not pay and stil meet expenses. Under the old acale, it is said, some miners made between $300 and $400 & month. Roads Have Big Loadings. The Fayette Tribune says that operators declared the scale to he the highest ever paid in the district, add- ing: “They estimate that there are normally about 12,000 miners em- ployed in the district and that their bi-weekly pay ha: been averaging about $800,000 * * *.* The new scale, It {s further stated, will increase the mines’ wage bills to more than $1,000, 000 bi-weekly. This would mean an average of close to $50 a week for all | classes of labor. The average for the | higher t of labor, however, would be considerably higher, as examina- tion of the wage table shows.

AND S. CHARLES E. MARTI ATE OF GIRL 12, FREED IN COURT Father Gives Pair Blessing as Abduction Charge Is Nolle Prossed. Because the 12-veareold bride of Charles Edward Martin? 31, admitted that she had posed as 18 before their marriage, and because, in the ey of Ralph Given, istant United States attorney, her appearance would con- firm the bridegroom’s belief that she was that old, a charge of abduction was dropped against Martin when the couple appeared in Police Court to- day. After the charge was nolle prossed, while parents of both parties looked on, Peyton Nowlin, father of Kath- erine Ll »eth, the bride, with tears in his eyes, gave the uple his ble ing and presented his daughter with 12 rose: Mr. Nowlin stated that he would not hav® the marriage annulled and that his daughter and son-inlaw might make their home together at once, He expressed the wish, how- ever, that his daughter might con- tinue a_yeardonger at school. The bridegroom, a railrond brake- man from Cumberland, Md., met his bride when he became a boarder at the Nowlin home, 12 Twelfth street, two weeks ago. Believing her to be 18, he ran away with her to mberland, where they were married Monday. A telegram was sent to Mr. Nowlin apprising him his wife of their daughter’s v iage. Incensed be- cause of their daughter's y the parents notified the local police, who got in communication with the Cum- berland authorities. The elopers were arrested Tuesday and brought back to Washington, Martin being locked up at the first precinct and his wife being held at the House of Detention as a Govern- ment witness. The case s to have been brought up yesterday, but was continued until today for the Govern- ment to obtain all the evidence. Mr. Given declared today that it was one of the most unusual cases, and probably the only one to end so happily, that was brought before him FOOD SHOW IS CITED AS BENEFIT T0 MEN Head Finds Wives Get Many Ideas for Menus. | | Lawrence, | crat POISON TABLETS FATAL T0 GIRL, 16 Myrtle Hensley Dies in Hos- . pital From Pills Taken After Spat.

Borah Brings Renewal of Senator’s Stand. Proposals of French Soclalist leaders for complete cancellation of all inter- allied war debts and all German repa- rations except the 16,000,000,000 gold marks represented by the German raflway Industrial bonds, reported in Paris dispatches today as having been {addressed to Senator Borah of Idaho, may reopen the debt cancellation issue in its entirety before Congress con- | venes next month. Senator Borah today declined to comment directly on the proposal, in | the absence of the communication sald to have been addressed to him on be- half of the Socialist party by Vincent | Auriol, memper of the debt funding mission to Washington and former chairman of the financial commission. He did say, however, that when the communication reaches him, he hoped {it would provide a vehicle for a frank and full discussion of the debt ques- tion, linked as it is with cancellation. | There is one main objection in the purported Auriol proposal, as Senator Borah views it, and that is the sug- gestion that the 16.000,000,000 marks would be administered by an interna- ticnal committee and would go en- |tirely to France and Belgium as par- 1~ compensation for actual war damages. Cancellation Must Include AlL Senator Borah's views on the ques- tion of cancellation have not changed his public reply last August to wpeal of Clemenceau for cancel- lation of the French debt to the United States as one means of /ring- ing about the economic recovhry of Europe. Senator Borah said today that his reply to Clemenceau was not in the nature of a proposal nor was it intendesl as such. What he did seck to convey to the French mind was that if there was to be cancella- tion of the debt of one country, there <hould be complate cancellation of all interallied war debts and all German rvoparations. The economic recovery of Europe on the basis of debt can- cellation, he clalmed, could not be hrought about without including Ger- man cancellation of German repara- tions, The proposal now reported to have been advanced by the Socialist Auriol falls to meet squarely the views of { Senator Rorah on complete concella tion. Without wishing to comment { directly on a purported plan which he has not examined and which is inter- pretated through meager second hand reports, Senator Borah, however, left no room for doubt that the Auriol | suggestion fails to hit the mark. | It would wipe out the interallied {debts, I agreed to by all the natlons finvolved. he pointed out, but it would | impose upon Germany the stupendous {burden of financing Franc | many to the extent of 16.000,000,000 {marks. In other words, he indicated, | the suggestion for debt cancellation is {coupled to a conditton that would | clearly be unjust to Germany. | M. Auriol argues that France and { the United States, by agreeing to his { proposition, thus would be making a | considerable sacrifice in the interests ) . but he believes both . given an appreciation of the nobility of the aim, would not { hesitate. If.Senator Borah consents to support the proposal in the United | States—and it is not apparent that will _consent—M.

While Senator Borah is extremely hopeful that France will ratify the debt pact this Winter, he has no sym- pathy with the proposed ‘“guaranty clause.” There is no parallel between the proposal ted, and the i ¢ provision.

Will Permit Passage of Mme. Kollantay to Mexico. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, November 5. — Regret and disappointment, rather than re- sentment, are expressed in official Soviet circles at the refusal of the American Government to permit Mme. Alexandra Kollantay, new Soviet Min- ister to Mexico, to pass through the United States on her way to her new post. Sovlet diplomatic quarters today sald that Mme. Kollantay, who 18 Soviet Russia’s sole woman diplomat, had intended only to pass through the United States to Mexico and that she had no intention of rematning longer In the United States than the journey rom New York to Mexico would take. Soviet authorities sald they had hopes that the American Govern- ment, as & matter of courtesy, If not of diplomatic etiquette and interna- tional usage, would extend at least a transit visa to Mme. Kollantay just as the Soviet government issues Similar visas to Amerlcans entering { Russia, or en route to the Far East I'by way of Russia. Mme. Kollantay, it was stated, will now be forced to take the long sea voyage direct to Mexico from Kurope. Soviet officlals said that this was the second fnstance in which Wash- ington has declined recently to grant a visa to an important Soviet personage, the first being Gen. Kokolinkov, former commissioner of finance, who sought to go to. the Unlted States to confer with Amer- ican bankers about credits. PASSPORT VISA DENIED. Wilson Order Invoked Again to Bar Woman Diplomat. By the Associated Press. The executive order of President Woodrow Wilson barring advocates of anarchy, revolution or agitation from the United States has been inveked again by the State Department—this time to prevent Soviet Russia’s sole woman diplomat, Mme. Alexandra Kollantay. from passing through this country on her way to her new post as Minister to Mexico. Previously the order had been in- | voked by Secretary of State Kellogg to bar the Count and Countess Karolyi of Hungary and Shapurfi Saklatvala, then Communist member of the British” Parliament, from visiting the Unlted States. Passport Visa Refused. Mme. Kollantay, former Soviet Min- ister to Norway, is in Berlin now, and had applied to the American consul general there for a passport visa which would have permitted her to visit the United States. The request was denled by the consul general, with the full approval of the State Depart- ment, on the ground that Mme. Kol- lantay was “one of the outstanding members of the Russian Communist party, and a member of the Third Congress of the Communist Interna- tionale, who has been actively asso- | ciated “with the international Com- munist subversive movement.” She is the daughter of a famous Russlan general, but embraced bolshevism Under the presidential proclamation of 1918 and the congressional act of May of that year, Secretary Kellogg has formulated a policy forbidding all foreign service officers of the United States to grant visas except when the applicant makes it evident that there is reasonable necessity for entry into the United States and that the pres. ence of the visitor would not be preju- diciul to the interests of government or society. Russian Diplomats Silent. Secretary Kellogg, in the cases of the Count and Countess Karolyl and Saklatvala, let it be known that he thought that undesirable aliens could be excluded from the United States more safely than they could be dealt with after they were admitted. Russlan diplomats in Berlin, con- firming the refusal of a visa, declined to comment other than to characterize the action as a “political event. Instead of entering the ited States, Mme. Kollantay will be com- pelled to choose a direct route to Mex- ico City or enter that country by way RITES TOMORROW FOR J. S. WILLIAMS Former U. 8.

RECEPTION IN PHILADELPHIA My first glimpse of the Philadelphia railway station made me gasp Wwith surprise. There, lined up in a showy row, was a wonderful line of moutited goldlers in uniforms that suddenly. transported me to the days of Na- poleon. Was this really Philadelphia? That enormous, wealthy, prosperous, most modern of towns? Where had these handsome figures sprung from? I looked about me eager to receive an explanation, and I was told that these uniforms had been retained since the days of the Revolution. I got into the automobile, and, sur- rounded by this dazzling escort, drove through a double row of cheering crowds to the City Hall, where Mayor Kendrick received me in grand style. and presented to me a golden key to the city. I answered his address with a few words, and declared that I felt this key was to the heart of Phila- delphia. One of the first things we had de- cided to do after arriving in Philadel- phia was to drive to a little Rumanian Church right on the outskirts of the town. We felt that as our first act we should go and see our countryfolk, no matter how humble they might be. Mayor Kendrick kindly complied with this request of ours, although it took us through the poorest and least pre- sentable parts of his town. But if any had at first considered this pilgrimage of ours a waste of time, they soon changed their minds when they saw the moving service and deep emotion with which our countrymen re- ceived us. Ceremony in Church. I myself was highly gratified to find that the Bishop of Philadelphia had sented to take part in the cere- ¢, as it was a sign of the rap- prochement of my own and my chil- dren’s churches, which I have always hoped would come about. A tiny Ru- manian baby and the oldest woman of the community presented us with flow- ers, while, the Rumanians sang our national anthem with lusty voices. As we left the church the sky was red and the sun was sinking. It would soon be night and we would have no time to visit the Sesquicenten- nial Exposition. For that reason we simply drove back through the long and darkening streets to the Bellevue. Stratford Hotel, where many whom I was to recelve had gathered. had expressed a speclal desire to have all the woman war workers of Philadelphia presented to me, as such a feeling of fraternity exists among all those who did their share in the great war. Truly, no frontier exists where the cause Is the same. The sight of those Red Cross nurses and the Y. W. C. A. women brought back to me vivid visions of the times when I had received the help of these mar- velous institutions in times of stress and suffering. Prince’s Clothes Astray. The hotel director had also been host to my sister, the Grand Duchess Cyril of Russla, and he spoke to e of her visit and of how gracious he had found her. His interest in me was doubled by having known one of my close relatives. He showed me a photograph of her sitting at the same table at which I was seated. He was in the picture. This, of course, gave me the idea that he might want a companion to this pic- ture, and the inevitable cameraman appeared and made, I hope, a succes- ful picture, although I have not seen it yet. Everything was most comfortably | arranged for us and we were left a reasonable time to rest. I even had a few minutes to spare, which was an almost unheard of event. 1 don- ned a red velvet dress and regal cloak, as I know the importancd a wom- an's attire plays, especially when she has to appear in public before thou- sands of people who have awaited her advent. After supper we were to go to the enormous hall of the exposition to see Lole Fuller's school dance. My son’ servant, who was to bring his dress clothes to the hotel, sopiehow got lost so he couldn't take part in the sup- per. He poked his head out of the door again and again, half clothed as he was, to see if there were any hopes for supper. The supper was gorgeous and beau- tifully done. I noticed many women with~ beautiful jewels and lovely clothes. Among them there was Mrs. Stotesbury, who was as lovely as she was charming. Mr. Alexander Moore was one of our hosts who were most eager to please. One felt his great pride for his cit The only regret any one had was that such a_ very short time was given us to do honor to Philadelphia. Did Not See Liberty Bell. The representation at the great hall was beautiful, and I can see Lole Fuller’s pupils over and over again. The admirable color effects are the inspiration of genius and will keep her name alive long after her time. Before we went to the train we drove ail through the lighted exhibi- tion. We rode under the huge elec- tric liberty bell, but the real Liberty Bell, which I had come all the way to America to see, 1 did not get a sight of, as it was too late. We did not get out of the pavillons until 1 o'clock. In the art pavilion we were present- ed to a band of little boys, all dressed altke, who played with astonishing virtuosity upon different-sized mouth harmon} 1 never saw anything so nimble and_gloriously as_those little boys. When I found that 1 was looking at the Temple of Art, not even all the frowns of those who were constantly looking at their watches could make me turn away before I had seen what American painters could do. I can only say that I was thoroughly im- pressed by the pictures I saw. Charmed With Pictures. There was many and many a one I would have loved to hang up in my room. No one could sufficlently in- form me concerning the history of those excellent artists and I am afraild that I will quit America without hav- ing been able to make the ac- quaintance of any of them, or of being able to tell them how tremendously impressed I was and how familiar I felt myself to be among these colored treasures. I must in all falrness add that T found the American pictures just as good if not better than those Europe had sent to be hung by their sides. That was our last effort in Phila- delphia, and I left that hospitable town with a hungry feeling, as if I had only tasted a few drops of the :"ull cup which had been put to my ips. ‘Will there be, I wonder, a coming back to the beautiful Philadelphia, of which I only got so fleeting an im- presslon, knowing that 10 days would never be enough to see all the treas- ures it had to show? Let us hope there will be. My children also had thoroughly en- joved those two fleeting hours, when we rushed through so many things at which we would have liked to pause, and they remember with particular affection a military, a Marine and naval comrade who made their hours there so happy.
