INISERY OF WELSH MINERS PICTURED Dole Study Finds Family of €ive Spending $5.44 a Week for Food and Clothes. This is the sizth of a series of nine articles on the dole, written after several weeks of investigation in Great Britain. The series presents an unprejudiced discussion of the dole and an annlylu of its disadvan- tages and its benefits. BY CYRIL ARTHUR PLAYER. LONDON, June 6.—What is poverty, real poverty which h othing? Whese bread, margarine and t-a come from the state, doled out in pittances. Poverty that is not the shabby b2dge of wither- ed years, but the dismal rags of child- hood, youth, vigorous manhocd and womanhood. - How do these people live? It is said that the condition of work- ers in Britain generally, even with the depressicn, has improved since the war. Yet in some few areas, particularly South Wales and Durham, poverty is acute and visible. South Wales has nothing but Lancashire, North- umberland, the Midlands and Scotland have other industries. Not so in South Wales and Durham. In South Wales entire townships have become almost derelict. So sharp is the distress that there have been special relief funds. Cardiff has b-en—is yet—a proud city. Its history is megnificent. It has becn the world’s gre>test coal exporter. Brushing back the sooty semi-circle of its environs it has adorned itself with a Radiating from it like the fingers of a hand are the roads to the coal, now the highways of misery and the valleys of discontent. ‘The children of South Wales play with childhood’s accustomed glee on the hillsides and in the valleys of that large coal mining area, mercifully unconscious of the morrow. The parents of many of them are on the dole. A large number have been unemployed since 1926, some even longer. A man receiving unem- ployment benefit gets $4.25 a week for himself, $2.25 for his wife and 50 cents for each of the children. Out of this, unless he manages to augment his in- coms in some way, he must feed his family, pay his rent, which varles from about $1.35 a week to $3.75 a week, pay perhaps 6 cents a week for medical care for his family (the man himself is taken care of by the health insurance fund which he pays into when in em- ployment) and perhaps 50 cents or 75 cents a week for burial insurance for himself and his family. $5.44 a Week to Care for Five. ‘Taking an average of $2 a week for rent and 56 cents for insurance and medical care, a man with a wife and three children would have $5.44 left for food angd clothing for five. ‘The miner occasionally has an allot- ment where he grows potatoes, cabbage, beans and perhaps one or two other vegetables. Also, the miner frequently helps himself to coal at the “tip” of the hill and at various outcroppings. This he uses for his own fuel, and sometimes sells at a shilling a bag, & procedure not at all legal, but pretty generally winked at. The fare of the family on the dole is pretty meager. I asked one 8-year-old’ boy what he had for meals. “Bread and | butter (inargarine) and jam, with tea, for breakfast,” was the answer, “and bread and butter and tea for supper.” He had a good meal at school for dinner. The menu for breakfast and supper in the dole homes is all very similar— bread, margarine and tea, with some- times a little jam; for supper, bread, margarine, tea, and occasionally cheese. Sometimes that is all there is for din- ner, too. At other times the housewife will be able to serve some soup for dinner; again, a bit of bacon and potatoes and perhaps some beans. One unemployed miner’s wife said the only things they could be sure of for dinner on week days were bread, mar- garine and tea, but that on Sundays they had half pound of bacon for their family of five, with peas, cabbage and potatoes. This family lived in the Pontypridd district, in which the miners’ agent N sald there were 5,000 unemployed, mak- 801 ing 35 to 40 per cent of the population unemployed. A large number of these, he explained, had been unemployed since April, 1926. In Merthyr Tydvil Borough the miner’s agent said there were 11,000 un- employed, who, With their families, made about half the population de- pendent on the dole. Hundreds of young men have fone to other parts seeking work. Half the people are said to wear second-hand clothes, and these are peddled in the streets. In Dowlais, part of the Merthyr district, a steel works employing 3,000 men has just - | shut down. Dowlais is very badly hit, and half the shops are closed or board- ed up, but a moving picture theater is still running, One Man Idle Since 1924. Discouragement over unemployment was breaking down the morale of men, according to the agent. He told of one mln idle since 1924. In 1924, he owned his home and had something in the bank. He has six children. He was a plece cutter, which meant that he was extra good at his work. He was proud | SPent and had a horror of “going on the parish.” In the early days of his un- employment he did not apply for the ¥ | dole, but used up his savings and then mortgaged his house. Then he went on the dole. Finally, benefit was re- fused him. He came to the miners’ agent one day, thoroughly down at the heels and sadly in need of boots. Asked VE | what he was going to do, he shrugged | & and said he would have to. go to the poor relief. The unthinkable had hap- pened, and his morale was so shat- tered that he no longer cared. ‘The Blaina was the first to be affected, for the depreuwn began there in 1920. At that time there were seven colleries empluyln: 5,000 miners, who, lived in Blaina the surround- ing district. Now there is only one colliery working, and the peak of em- ployed men since then has been 1,500. ‘There are now between 1,400 and 1,500 men in the colliery. There is always the historic difficulty of separating the Englishman from his accustomed environment and his usual- ly inherited employment, even though, as in many cases, that employment has forever vanished. The permanent con- traction in the mining industry is es- timated at 25 per cent—from 1,000,000 workers to 750,000. Efforts are being made to fit this surplus into an ex- " | pansion of the program for public works on roads, etc. A few years ago 1,000 workers in the Blaina district were thrown off the dole because they did not have the nec- essary 30, stamps, Alml!yinl 30 con- tributions’ to the ‘These “went on” the local mrdhnl In 1926 there hhel0 | were 7,000 to 8,000 depending on the Bedwelity Board of Guardians in Mon mouthshire. At one time it was em- mated that the relfef provided the needy by the poor law in this section made -no- allowance for clothing and figured out at the rate of three cents a meal a person.

OUTH ste] aside at the Los Angeles, Calif., marriage license bureau June 2, ‘v’lm Patrick Henry Cofield, Civil War veteran, aged 97, and Mrs. Etta W. Schuster, 65 years old, sought and roceived permission to wed. The couple are seen leaving the marriage license bureau. sald Cofield was the oldest person ever to have applied for a marriage Clerks P, Phuto —A. were paid. - Since April, 1930, lamely due to Arthur Greenwood, minister of health, there has been a decided im- provement in the amount of poor law relief. The former Governors of the Bedwellty Board had an_ overdraft of $5,000,000. So impoverished was the area that store keepers who had been in Training Centers Established. ‘The government has established requi- sition camps and training centers par- ticularly for young men. It sends for| a number of young men periodically and asks if they are willing to be sen: to these tralning centers. (Bristol, Dudley, Carshalton, Blackpool, Poole Harbor, Near Bournemouth, are some of these.) The youths receive training in brick laying, forestry, painting auto- mobiles, tool making, etc. However, they are not looked on as being prop- erly trained when they come out! The unions will have none of them, as they are afraid of cheap labor flooding the market, and the young man regards his training with contempt. The idleness among the youths who have chosen to remain near their homes, | or who, after failure elsewhere, have | returned, is admittedly demoralizing. A 20-year-old boy of fine character sald he earmed $8 a week driving a haulage engine in a coal mine. He had been working underground since he was 13. He added the following informa- tion concerning local conditions: ‘The maximun a single man can earn in a mine is $9.80 a week. A married man can earn from about $10 to ap- proximately $17.25. A man on the dole who has a wife and two children, will receive a little less than $7.50 a week. only about $2.50 less than the minimum wage paid married miners. Among convincing statistics in the writer's possession are thase showing | the surprising number of men in all| parts of the country who, as soon as they get on the dole, marry. ‘The boy thought the dole necessary, but greatly abused. He had been on the dole himself, but didn't like it; he got only $1.85 a week then. He con- cluded, rather happily, with the infor- mation that when the small boys of the district were taken to a Boy Scout camp and got & meal of bacon and eggs, their eyes popped and they said: “We've never had anything like this before.” Solution Recommended. A distinguished Government official, asked by the writer what he would rec- ommend as & solution, sald he would do_three things: Spread knowledse of birth control. Convert most of the pubs saloons into cafes where food be taken with drink, and dominoes, etc., played. Provide a place for every slum child to_play. “And after that?” I asked. “Nothini. he replied. The idle young men and older boys throughout this mining area spend their spare time around t corners ulun or playing cricket or foot ball, y with & makeshift rubber ball. 'me soclety of friends has been helpful in the mining districts and has given leather 30 a man can use it to repair his boots. The man on dole will not admit spending money on beer or movies, but others say he frequently will spend a little this way and that his family will have to do wgh still less food and clothes in conscquence. The men on the dole sny they would much rather work, that they are tented and do not feel at liberty. is is the unadored narrative of !.he view of those on the dole. It shows points and bad points, and it in- dmm tendencies of thought, most of them, unfortunately, of a character to cause uneasiness. 1t seems, nevertheless, that the miner is too much inclined to say that the ‘whole q‘ juestion is hopeless and that the mpom bility is up to the country any- cnun- Are Profound Concern. Another point that strikes the visitor is the need among the women for more information about food values and about varieties in cheap foods.

Dinwiddie and others will sup- port the regular speakers on special oc- casions in the larger cities. ‘The “speakeasy” problem in prohibi- | tion enforcement should be handled by the local authorities and not left to the Federal Government, Amos W. W. Woodcock, director of the Bureau of Prohibition, Department of Justice, de- clared yesterday upon his return from an inspection in the West and in Hawali. “The speakeasy problem should be cared for by local authoritles,” said the director. “We do not neglect it, and if | the States and local officials do not take | care of this phase of enforcement, we | do what we can.” The Federal Government, | Col. Woodcock said, cannot direct its| main offensive against the speakeasy type of violation. He asserted that the | prohibition force was being trained to | | attack the “big violator” and to let | the smaller ones be taken care of by local authorities. ‘The prohibition director declared that the first step in prohibition en- forcement is to drive the violators be- hind closed doors. Speakeasies, he as- serted, should be eliminated by local authorities under their lice powers and not left to the leral Govern- ment. however, ‘Woodcock Encouraged. Encouraging progress is being made throughout the Well ln prcmbmon en- | forcement, Col. Woodcock said. Agents are better trained and more efficlent in operation than a year ago. As to the sentiment prevalent in the various sections of the country on pro- hibiticn enforcement, the director de- clared this was a subject not raised in his conferences with agents. “I don't want them to think in terms of tics,” he declared. “That gives them the wrong slant. We are thinking on the track of training agents to be better Investigators and directing them against the commercial violators. “I am telling the Irlznds of hlbl- tion that theirs is a field of icaticn of the private violators.” Referring to conditions in the West, Col. Woodcock said that the efforts of the prohibition forces had driven liquor selling “behind closed doors” at Reno, Nev. Acccrding to press dispatches, he pointed out, local enforcement in Reno has broken down. He declared that it requires considerable manipulation to get into a “Reno speakeasy.” Nevada Forms Problem. Pointing out that the population of Nevada is cnly about 60,000, the direc- tor declared that there is a vast amount of territory to be covered in prohibition | ) ot enforcement. He said he knew of only one sheriff in the State who was co- operating with the Federal prohibition forces. “It is not an easy problem,” he de- clared. “We are doing the best we can with the force we e in Nevada. However, the entire prohibition force cannot be disrupted for a State of but 60,000 inhabitants.” Col. Woodcock declared ',hl'. he plan- ned to leave Washington in about two weeks for New Orleans, and from that point to make an inspection trip through the South. He said he found no large violations of the national prohibition laws in Honolulu. Mrs. Patterson in her first statement described_herself as a “meek dry" who e atms at betier social and af :’c;:na.lt.lm. and who believe fiul it should have a better opportunity to prove its value.” “Allled women are in no sense re- turmen." she said. common -sense persons t genfln, throwing their support to a law in which they have faith.” MALTA GOVERNOR NAMED.

It shnuldbenld.llttneedlwhenld that Mr. Coolidge has no part in the enterprise, no toleration- for the idea and certainly no bellef in its practica- bility. On the contrary he alternates between irritation and amusement at all “draft Coolidge” suggestions. Neverthe- less the group promoting the plan are proceding on a gambler's chance that at the last moment they may have an openl.n' ta put it over. one lndirxnnbk step, without whlch they can nothing,is that Gov.

Coolidge will reject the idea fonh'i'.h He has already rejected it. He will continue to reject it as surely as_he rejected the same notion in 1928. ‘The effort to “conscript” Mr. Coolidge in 1928 was prolonged until | within 24 hours of the time when Mr. Hoover was actually nominated. The present “draft Coolidge” group is very much smaller than the 1928 one. ‘The present movement ‘is, indeed, cabal. In the Republican national or- ganization as now constituted they mve literally no weight. Out of the 104 members of the Republican Na- tional Committee not more than two, according to reliable information, have any tolerance for the movement Nev- ertheless the froup has in the past much litical expenence of a bemnd-mz-sunm sort and they have a gift for political Intrigue of a | familiar and legitimate kind as poli- tles goes, While Gov.

The fatal impediment to it is Mr. Cool~ idge. Many persons called on Mr. Cool- idge at his retreat- in Northampton. Some cannot resist the temptation to “make a pass” at him by some remark or gther about nominating him. After- ward such visitors usually repeat in private conversation what they say that Mr. Coolidge said. All are to the effect that Mr. Coolidge will not run under any circumstances.

METHODISTS FILE BUILDING PLANS $330,000 Apartment House to Be Erected Beside Present Structure. Plans for the $330,000 apartment house, to be built by the Board of Tem- perance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church at 114 Maryland avenue northeast were filed with the office of Col. John W. Oehmann, District building inspector, today. Specifications, filed through Charles | & W. Tompkins Co., designers and build- | ers, call for a five-story structure, con- | taining 116 rooms, divided into 54 apart- | & ments. The building will have a front- age of 120 feet and a depth of 130 feet, occupying the entire lot adjacent to the | present Methodist Building. Sixty-foot Limit Set. Balked by zoning restrictions, board recently abandoned plans to erect a combination office-apartment struc- | g ture conforming in architectural style to the present headquarters bullding, which | & would have been 72 feet in height, or the same height as the present struc- | § ture. A limit of 60 feet is set, however, | & by the Zoning Commission for this par- | g ticular area, whereas the Methodist Building is on land zoned 90 feet. in the cornice line would render a harmcnious design impossible, so plans | for the $500,000 office addition were | g atandoned and the proposal for a ll'nlller building substituted. building will be located in Lhe rear of the Methodist Building, | opposite the site of the projected new Supreme Court Building, occupying all the Methcdist Church’s holdings be- tween Maryland avenue and B street. Plan Less Expensive. It is understood to be the plan of the bosrd to utilize all space in the present building for office purposes by transferring tenants from apartments in the Methodist Building to the new apartment structure. In addition to/ being a less exvenslve undertaking than | the original plan, the apartment idea is expected by the board to prove mcre | remunerative.

By Cable to The Star. PARIS, June 5—The Bovlzu and France ere discussing trade relations with the object of arranging an ex- change ¢f goods similar to the Italian- German-Austrian way of doing busi- ness with the Russians, Soviet representatives, 'Mr. Rosen- | goltz and Serge Dvolaisky, who began | discussions in Paris a month ago, re- cently returned to Moscow with Prench | counter propcsals and are now back in | Paris again with new Russian sug: gestions which will probably lead to a working agreement. French feeling against lending money to Russia is high after the bitter expe- rience with funds advanced to Russia before and during the war. Any effort | to float a loan in France or to cancel | the Russian debts would met with op- position. f credits are granted the Soviets, they must be extended by pri- vate banks. There is a possibility of a triangular systém of credits by which the French would supply funds to Czechoslovakia or Germany and a triangular exchan, e. of gzods would be effected. Soviet gol nd platinum deposits in Berlin could | TVe as a guaranty. Another suggestion is that the Soviets are looking for & new country to trade with since the German guarantees have | been reduced. Soviet steel and iron | orders to Germany have fallen off re- cently because of 'the withdrawal of | German credits. France buys from the Soviets lumber, | wood, glue, furs, grain, flax, some rubber | goods, staves, wine casks and other | wood products. | All these products have been sold in France at one time or another at dis- tress prices. One Paris department store bought a lot of Russian furs only to learn later that similar furs were sold price. This dumping led to a decree of laws which excluded some Soviet goods and’ hastened the trade negotia- tlons which are now taking place. (Copyright. 1931.)
