New York, Marchi8.—All-year- round work was demanded by the an- thracite coal miners at today's con- ference of the sub-committee of min- ers and operators appoinfed to ne- gotiate a new wage agreement for the hard coal diggers. The confer- ence adjourned until tomorrow with- out any action being taken. The miners declared that they must bave a 60 per cent. increase in wages and work throughout the year in order to meet the high cost of living. They stated that their earnings are limjted 4s they are out of work dur- ing the summer months when the de- méand for anthracite fuel is at a min- imum. Representatives of the operators contended that the anthracite indus- try offers an opportunity for steady employment, but the miners ' refused Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA WORKING ON HARD COAL WAGE SCALE e | the present agreement expifed. to accept this statement, declaring that “the present steady employ- ment” is largely due to abnormal conditions, arising out of the war. The workers presented additional figures on the high cost of living in support of their request for a wage increage.

The Dutch government was tak- en severely to task for what was de- clared to be its leniency towards the former German emperor in a debate in the second chamber of parliament this afternoon, when the premier an- nounced a decree limiting Count Ho- henzollern’s movements and his pledge not to mix in poltics. Deputy Schaper, socialist, whose questions brought about announce- ment of the decree, said he was dis- | satisfled with the premier’s answer as a mere slight increase in the guards { about the former emperor was not {enough and Count Hohenzollern's pledge not sufficient. Fe sald there were plenty of opportunities for the | friends of the exile to bring him let- | ters and asked why tors to the! Von Bentinck castle were not search- od. The premfer in answer referred to| .his letter in both houses of parlia- ment informing them of the assur- ance obtained from Count Hohenzol- | lern that he would refrain from all| political _activity and do nothing| which would involve Holland in any ! International difficulty. He added that similar action with reference to the| former crown prince had been consid- ered. P Deputy Von Ravensteyn, commun- ist. declared that the government’s policy of silence had strengthened the general belief that the former em- | peror came to Holland originally with Holland’s silent approval. Count Ho- henzollern, he said, had been permit- ted to live the quiet, easy life of a retired country gentleman, with a motor car at his disposal in which he could cross the frontier anv time he saw fit. The same also.could be said, Deputy Von Ravensteyn continued, about the former crown prince, who could maintain communication = with the reactionary party in Germany, | Other persons whom the government considered undesirable were impris- oned. in concentration camps, even when provided with good passports, the deputy asserted. Other deputies took a similar stand, some wanting to knew how long the Hohenzollerns would be al- lowed to stay in Holland: The pre- mier said the governitent long ago haq stated it knew nothing in ad- | vance of the former emperor's coming and not a single person in the gov- ernment knew of it. ‘Up to the pres- ent, teh premier declared, it has not gppearedhthat the former emperor or is son had participateq in pu;s;ical action. e gl e debate closed without any v of confidence” or lack of cnnndezceoll: the government, SIMS CONCLUDES GRITICISM OF NAVY DEPARTMENT _Washington, ' March 18.—Responsi~ bility for conditions which pro?npf‘tlid Rear Admiral Sims to indict the nayvy department’s conduct of the war can be determined only on full investiga- tion of his charges, the officer declared today before the senate investigajing committee, concluding his direct testi- mony, For that reason, Admiral Sims said, he had no “well founded” recommen- dations to make as to remedies. Until further investigation disclosed whether the errors and mistakes he has charged were due to faulty organiza- tion or inefficient personnel, he added, he would not attempt to formulate remedial proposals. \ ‘Cross-examination of Admiral Sims was postponed until Monday on re- quest of Senators Pittman, Nevada, and Trammell, Florida, democratic members of the committee. Senator Pittman is a member of the foreign | relations committee and has not been able to attend many of the sessiona of the investigating committee qurtng Admiral Sims' direct statement.” The senator eaid He had requested the postponement that he might have time to read Admiral Sims’ testimony pre- paratory to a cross-examination of the officer. “To paint out A known and generally accepted princi- ples of warfare such as have been shown by my testimony is in itself to suggest the remedy which is obvi- ously to avoid such violations in the fuutre,” said Admiral Sims in closing his statement. 2 summarized in thirteen specific counts the charges he made against the navy department and emphasized strongly his reiterated assertion that he did not desire that any of his testimony he understood as charging responsibility for the conditions he criticized to any individnal. nroceeded far enough, he said, and his knowledze of conditions in the de- nartment during the war was too lim- ited to warrant any such accusation, he declared. .
