NEW YORK, January 4.—Counsel for Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt pleaded with a surrogatc today for an adequate allowance for the hand- some young widow to maintain “the prestige and tradition of the Vander- bilt name” and the court indicated; » substantial sum would be granted. The argument was on & motion to determine whether the court should continue the $48,000 annual allow- ance from the estate of Mrs. Vander- bilt's heiress daughter Gloria, whose custody has been awarded by the Su- preme Court to a paternal aunt, Mrs. “Harry Payne Whitney. Out of this $48,000 annual allow- ance from the estate of Mrs. Van- derbilt has been allowed $12,000 a ryear for personal expenditures, from “which she has been paying her mother, Mrs. Laura Kilpatrick Mor- gan, $3,000. Mrs. Morgan mmed ‘against her daughter in the custody * proceedings. Nathan Burkan, Mrs. bilt! counsel, referred to his tenr. as * r.ms lady who has no income,” and added: “Shall we change her manner and mode of living? The court must be practical. What is to be done with this child? A household retinue must be provided. She must be guarded. The mother must keep up her ap- pearance.” Surrogate James A. Foley ordered Mrs. Vanderbilt to submit a budget of expenses for Gloria’s week end visits. Rescued Butterfly Is Pet.

By the Associated Press. HAZLETON, Pa., January 4—The United Mine Workers of America threaten “direct action,” conceded by the leaders who adopted it to mean a general strike, unless dual unionism in the anthracite region is abolished. The threat was made in a resoiu- tion adopted yesteday at a meeting of the Tri-district Executive Board of the union, called to discuss the re- cent settlement of the strike of United Anthracite Miners of Pennsyl- vania, a rival union, against the Glen Alden Coal Co. The United Mine Workers charged that settlement of that strike, brought about by intervention of the Indus- trial Relations Board of the Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce, was a violation of their contract with the Glen Alden Co. and gave virtual rec- ognition to the younger union. Further discussion of the rival union situation is scheduled for to- morrow at a meeting of the Anthra- cite Conciliation Board in Washing- ton. —_— Births Reported.
