How can they explain this? No one can accuse Ireland of race suicite, The figures show that they | migrate to other countries to escape unbearable conditions.” 230 Attend Luncheon More than 230 local sympathizers with the “Ireland-for-Ireland™ move- ment, including men prominent in business and professional life, attend: ed the function. John F. Murphy, cuting attorney of King county, pre sided at the luncheon. Other speak- ers included Erastus Brainerd and John L. Fitzpatrick.

Meanwhile the mines for the most part were still idle and the fuel shortage was beginning to be felt in Europe Industries Hit Paralyzation of industries is threatening several Buropean and Latin-American countries because of the strike here, according to infor mation gathered today in foreign diplomatic circles, Among the countries which, It ts stated, will feel seriously any pro longation of a fuel tioup are Italy, | Switzerland, Holland, Brazil and} Chile, “We haven't any coal at all,” stated an Italian embassy official. “Owing to the fact that England can't supply us as formerly, Italy looks to the United States. Unless dustries have to shut down, but it will cause the stopping of our trains.” “If the miners refuse to return to work it means Switzerland will have to reduce coal rations to a danger- ously low mark,” a high official of the Swiss legation stated. “Switzer. land depends on the United States tor half of its coal supply.” In Swedish circles, it was stated that tho Swed@n imports some coal from England, the surplus now on hand is getting low. “Practically all the coal we import comes from America,” said a Brazil “Uniess the miners here return to work Rrazil will have to shut down telephone, light and power plants and curtail railroad service, It will also affect the Bra zillan navy.” Chile, which tmports about a mil- lion tons from the United States an- nually, fears the embargo on foreign shipments of coal may seriously hamper its nitrate industry. Vessels Tied Up At the shipping board it was learned that hundreds of foreign vessels are laid up in American ports as a result of their inability to get coal, The shipping board today made an exception to the rule forbidding coal ing of foreign vessels when it al lowed 16 ships carrying wheat from Galveston, Texas, to Europe, to take on a fuel supply. An exception was also made in the cases of two ocean Uners, Second Brother Believed Victim EVERETT, Nov. 12.—Everett friends of Sandy Bogan, formerly of this city, but for the last two years of Ketchikan, Alaska, have ‘started an investigation into his mysterious disappearance.
