WINTER UNEMPLOYMENT IS TRACED TO HABIT Department of Commerce Declares Twelve-Month Building. Plan ‘Would Help Every One. By the Assoclated Press. Habit alone, Department of Commerce experts believe, keeps many men jobless during the Winter, Many builders think conhstruction wark is impracticable during Winter months, and James 8. Taylor, Bureau of Standards housing expert, today set out to “explode” the myth and help em- ent. ’Ifi!l'r:‘\e trouble is chiefly in the mental sttitude toward Winter,” he asserted, “and production on a clear, snappy Winter day does not suffer by com- nAwn with that of a hot, sultry day ugust.” ‘Twelve-month building schedules help actically every one in the industry, obesrved, with large savings for own- ers through Winter work. Sald Taylor: “The usual decrease of eonstruction in Winter is chiefly a mat- ger of habit, not of climatic conditions.

Mother Jones’ life was spent mostly around blasted, slag- strewn mining dumps, in moldy j on scarred and desolate hillsides, with an occasional bullet whizzing through the scrub timber; down in the dark pits of coal mines, in forlorn miners’ huts, in the textile mills and villages of the South, in dirty railway stations and on jerkwater _trains—Mother Jones, with her neat little bonnet and a handker- chief always edged with lace. & Terror to Non-Union Men/ On the battle line she often wore two or three petticoats “to tie up the boys® heads with If they got hurt”” And more than once she did rip off her under- shirt to stanch the flow of blood for some fallen miner.

(Copyright. 1930.) Made Peace With Foes. Her great ambitlon was to live through her 100th birthday. ©n that day, May 1, last, when she made her peace with her bitterest foes, John D. Jones was carried from her bed out into the sunshine under the apple trees where friends and cameramen gath- ered around her. She was happy and at peace with the world, but the excite- ment of the celebration told on her strength. She was never to leave her bed again, g On her 100th birthday, when mes- sages of congratulation poured in from labor leaders all over America, Mother Jones received a gracious message from John D. Rockefeller, jr, which greatly surprised her. “Rockefeller is a good man at heart,” the feeble woman said. “I've fought him and his father for years. Yes, I can forgive them for putting me in jail and fighting my ‘boys,’ but I can never forget.” The next day Mother Jones replied against g.:erously to Rockefeller’s message and hatehet was buried. But not so with regards to John L.

She was the close friend of many Presidents, from Cleveland to Coolidge. end an adviser and confidant of cabinet officers. At the counsel table |in many great industrial disputes, no- |tably the great anthracite coal strikes of 1900 and 1902, she was a familiar figure. Even by the leaders of capital, whom she fought in two-fisted fashion, she was respected for her sincerity of purpose and as one good fighter always Tespects another. The details of “Mother” Jones' early |life are not very fully known, except | agitator, and from young womanhood | her inspiration had been to improve the working conditions of working men and women. She was born in Canada about 1832, and when an infant was taken to Ireland by her parents, who returned to Toronto when she was 7 years old. Her father was Richard Harris, an Irish agitator and rail work- er. Growing up in this environment, it is not surprising that the young woman threw herself heart and soul to fight in behalf of what she deemed the masses of the oppresced. It was the spirit of her Irish ancestry urging her on. Child labor in the South enlisted her first, efforts as a crusader. As a young woman she had worked in the cotton Four Children Die. Once she “abducted” a helpless fam- fly and three daughters to free them from the bondage of a company store ‘l? which they were indebted. = While living in the South she was married. Four children were born to her, all of whom, together with her husband, died during an epidemic of yellow fever. Mother Jones was the last of her family about whom anything is known. Her last relative, a brother, a promi- nent Catholic priest and educator in Canada, died March 5, 1923. Father Harris and for many ye been dean of one of the departments of the University of Toronto from which he had received the honorary degree of*doctor of letters. The golden jubilee of his priesthood was observed in 1920 at St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto. All family ties having been cut, Mrs. | Jones then began to devote her entire |life to the labor movement. She be- | gan to organize women's zuxiliaries to | labor unions and later affiliated with | the United Mine Workers of Americ: \;n'in( for years as one of its organ- TS, It was with this labor organization that *“Mother” Jones earned for her- self the reputation of being a natiorit) figure. Its members idolized her gor her fearless advocacy of their cause |in controversies throughout the West and East. In recent years, however, it was said she had been a “free lance,” going where she pleased and doing what she pleased to further the cause of the miners. Her activities have taken her | to Montana, West Virginia, the east- ern Pennsylvania coal fields, southern Colorado, Tennessee and other States. | Wherever there was industrial trouble |involving the welfare of women and children, “Mother” Jones endeavored to be there. | _She went from El Paso to Trinidad, | Colo.. in 1914, at the time of the coal arrival was seized by milittamen and deported to De¢nver as an “agitator.” | Recoghiized No Master. “Mother” Jones had all the appear- | ances of her age, as was sald, but her frail body was .as hardened to the rigors of outdoor life as a veteran campaigner. Although she talked with Presidents and high officials of the Government, she never lost the com- mon touch that endeared her to the “boys” for whom she labored and even fought. Congressional committees of investigation heard and felt the lash of her bitter tongue, and not even star chamber councils in the White House could keep the pilain-spoken woman from freely uttes what was at her e's end. recognized no ‘master,” high or low. | When not at the sceme of some | strike or mixing with the men in the | field, “Mother” Jones often turned her | attention to securing bemneficial labor | legislation. During the years spent in ioody” Logan and Kanawha Coun- she did much effective work in this connection. Her efforts in West Virginia resulted in a State law giving the miners a pay check semi-monthly, better living conditions, better hours and a general improve- ment in the standard of living among the miners in the little-organized State. During her spectacular career |in the State “Mother” Jones was called |to Washington many times to testify | before committees in’ Congress. West Virginia was the leading of a great delegation of miners to the State’ dressed them from the steps of the Statehouse. Pitched battles between the miners and armed deputies and detectives hired by mine owners fre- quently were waged in the mountain- ous districts in West Virginia and on more than one occasion, as. in Colorado and elsewhere, “Mother” Jones took an active part. Davis Sought Her Advice. Her friendship with Secretary of Labor Davis, who at one time worked as a puddler in the steel mills, was one of many years’ standing. He turned to her for counsel during the troublesome days of 1922, when 700,000 hard coal miners went out on strike and indust: Ln'New 08 It was surprisi to many that “Mother” Jones, with all her battling in behalf of laboring men and women, should not have espoused the cause of woman suffragé. Instead, those who knew her well said she had & distinct ayersion for “votes for women.” She believed women were out of place in wal , declaring that it had in “their sad neglect of moth- erhood which had filled reform schools and which keeps the juvenile ‘courts busy.” Her chief contention was that industrial problem BURIAL ASKED BESIDE MINER!

This bcame known today, after hei death, when Mrs. Walter Burgess, who nursed and betriended the 100-year-old labor_crusader during her final iliness, revealed the last expressed wish's of Mother Jones as to the disposition of her estate. . Mother Jones some time ago had confided that she wished th: $6,000 | which represented the entire accumula- tion of 60 years' endeavors in the labor movement, divided equally betwe:n Mrs. Burgess and St. Gabriel's Catholic Church of this city. Both Mrs. Burgess and Rev. Wiillam Sweeney, assistant pastor of the church, who had admin- istered extreme unction to the dying woman, prot:sted. They told her. they cou'd not_accept the moncy, “Then I shall leave it td organized labor,” Mother Jones said, “to help in the cause after I am gone.” While it is not known definitely to what branch of organized labor the small estate was willed, Mrs., Burgess construed it as the American Federa. tion of Labor. Some months ago, Mother Jones called to her bedside her old friend, John Walker of Chicago. She gave him then $1,000, telling nim she wished it used in the fight to oust John L. Lewis from the head of the United Mine Workers’ of America. Mr. Walker accepted the gift, as he said, to appease a dying woman, but told ncr then that he would keep the money in trust, should she ever have need of it herself. Several years ago, Mothcr Jones pub- she obtaiged some ‘of *he moncy that comprised her estate. Union miners in various sections of the country, curing her late years, had given her 1soney, also.

By Radio to The Star, PARIS, France, December 1.—The Franco-Italian naval holiday expired today. ‘Throughout this so-called holiday both countries have bzen steadily build- ing and launching warships, but only such tonnage as already was under construction. From the present day, both have announced, they are going to lay down new keels in aecordance with the building programs already voted. France will begin its seventh new eight-inch cruiser and also sev- eral smaller craft, but without any ceremony or widespread heralding of the fact. 4 The expiration of the holiday coins cides with the complete breakdown of the naval negotiations undertaken on the side at the Geneva Disarmament Commission meeting. These negotia- tions began sensationally by the visits of Hugh S. Gibson, American Ambas- sador to Belgium, to Paris and Rome in an effort to inspire the resumption of Franco-Italian talks. The:e Franco- Italian talks were no sooner started at Geneva than they collapsed and M Gibson thereafter refrained from fur- ther intervention. Following this Amerjcan failare Great Britain, wnich had itself already failed three times, undertook new mediation. ‘The British experts, seeing the French and Itallans separately, tried to find a common ground of understanding. They also have now again failed. France meanwhile has approached Great Britain with the view of ascer- taining how the latter would regard the possibility of France alone insert- ing figures in the Londan naval treaty without regard to Italy, but with an escape clause authorizing France to build beyond the figures if Italian construction exceeds a certain level, Great Britain thus far is cool to this proposal. Purthermore, it is not certain wheth- er the French government itself favors a four-power agreement. When such an ;Jreement was proposed in London Aristide Briand rejected it on the ground that it might permanently em- bitter Pranco-Italian relations. (Copyright. 1930.) Railway Defaults on Interest.

On one of these slopes one October day in 1898 the striking miners, march- to the Virden mine in protest against importation of Negro strike- breakers, were halted by guards outside a stockade. In the ensuing fighting eight strikers were shot to death. “Gen.” Alexander Bradley led the protestants. He is buried in the Union Cemetery, across the main driveway from the shrubbed plot reserved for Mcther Jones. Five of those killed in the Virden riot—whom labor calls “martyrs to unionism”—sleep in the Mount Olive memorial. To their graves Mother Jones often came. They were her “brave boys.
