MINE LEADER SEES FAMINE OF COAL; President Lewis Says Curtail- ment of Production Is Most Ever Known. ‘ 600,000 MINERS OUT. Public Will Bear Huge Burden as ‘Result, Workers’ Head Declares. Predicting a coal famine unless a settlement is reached soon in the coal strike, John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers of America, issued a circular to-day declaring the coal strike the most momentous and successful in union labor industry. It ‘will continue until all ils objects are won, Lewis said. The circular, to be sent to all offi- cers and members of the union, says, in part: “The strike situation is excellent The hundreds of thousands of bituminous mine workers, like their anthracite brothers, are standing shoulder to shoulder in this great in- dustrial conflict. Their fight is mag- nificent. “We have organized and brought ‘on strike nearly 100,000 men in the States. of Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico who prior to April t were employed in non-union mines and were not members of our union. These men have been glad to Join with us in this great conflict and are looking forward to ultimate release from the industrial bondage under which they have long labored. “The production of coal has in con- sequence of this situation been cur- tailed to the greatest degree ever knowh in the history of the industr The report of the United States Geo- logical Survey sets forth that the production of anthracite and bitu- minous coal for the first six weeks of the present Strike ts 17,000,000 tons behind the production for the first mix weeks of the great strike of 1919. ‘This is an astounding record and re- veals the efficiency of the present strike in a most startling manner. “The suspension of work in the min- ing industry by more than 600,000 men may be rightfuily termed a domestic calamity. A full realization of its im- pert has not yet dawned upon the American public. The accumulated coal reserves of the country are being rapidly diminished and the much her- alded non-union production is totally ingdequate to cure for the Nation's needs. “Prices of ccal at the mine in the non-union fields have increased more than 100 per cent. and will continue to ascend despite the efforts of Govern- mental agencies to control the situa- tion by voluntary effort. A National coal famine is impending and the coal consuming public will again be com- pelled to bear the burden of further Price extortion: for the benefit of the operating interests, who pose as pub- lic benefactors. “The United Mine Workers disclaim responstbility for this situation, We have frequently pointed out the in- dustrial and commercial responsibill- ties which accrue to those who have deliberately forced a shutdown in the mining industry. The country will shortly awaken to the fact that its fuel needs for the coming winter and its industrial requirements are in jeopardy. “In the meantime, non-union coal operators are marketing their coal at an enormous price and the statesmen of the country are imitating the ac- tion of the famous fiddler of Rome. The American people should demand an accounting for this situation."’ 199 ROTARIANS | OFF FOR BIG MEET Hope. to Make New York Man President at Con- vention.

Artistic cireles in New York and Chicago were interested to-day in the romance of Stanislaws Szukalski, a penniless sculptor who has gone to Chicago to wed Miss Helen Walker, daughter of Dr. Samuel T. Walker, one of Chicago's most prominent physicians. Miss Walker was to hav: been one of the bridesmaids of Miss Mary Baker, who left Alister MeCor- mick waiting at the church After the marriage, in a few days the artist and his bride will go to Canada for their honeymoon and come to New York to live. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, John Sloan, Peter Larsen and other artists and critics have been interested In the young genius, who is reported to have been hungry more than once during the last year. The young Pole, at sixteen, was the infant phenomenon at the Art Museum at Cracow, Artists from many European centres went to see his anatomically perfect creations in clay and bronze. His father had gone to Chicago and’ started a blacksmitr shop, and young Szukalski came to America to join him. Some time tuter the father was killed in a street car gccident and when the son found the body in the morgue he asked for a “Starving Genius,” werinit to keep it. When officials «cked him what for, he replied “Lo want to dissect it. I want to n anatomy. Tam too poor to buy the cudavers of other men. My father would wish it.’’ It is said he dis- sected the body.

They did not know that at times his only food was a bottle of milk and rye bread. ‘ Miss Walker's father is a member of ap old and socially prominent fam- fly and a Yale graduate. His other daughter married Paul Welling, son of the former Vice President of the Illinois Central Railroad. Miss Walker is said never, until a few months ago, to have thought seriously of marriage to the young sculptor because of the difference of their social position. But through the sculptor’s recent illness and the correspondence that followed. they began to consider it, and one day this week he received ‘Yes’’ and started immediately for Chicago. “BELOVED THIEF” AGAIN ARRESTED Edna Willsey Held Uustate for Violating Her Parole.

As he sprang out of bed the telephone rang and a girl in an apartment across the street told him burglars were In his store. Calling the East 87th Street Police Station, he was told by Lieut, Casey to ‘sit tight.’* In a few minutes Lieut had @ dozen policemen on the run to the store in answer to signal flashes. Out- side th estore, calmly smoking a cig- arette, stood a man who lo eribed himself as Ernest Miller, twen- ty-five, a baker, of No. 217 East s5tb Street. When Policeman William J. Walsh asked him what he was doing there, he fled down Lexington Ave- nue, pursued by Walsh and six other policemen, who fired over his head in an effort to halt him. Miller turned into 8ist Street and dashed into the hallway of the five- story apartment house at No. 171.

NEWS - is an ex- tremely vulnerable enterprise, in that its activities are spread out for public comment and criti- cism three hundred and sixty-five days a year. For this reason, if for no other, there is nothinga newspaper guards more jealously than its rec- ord for inde- pendence in serving the best interests of the public. In the course of a public discussion recently on the various interests that are supposed to control newspaper policies, Profes- sor James Melvin Lee, a journalist of wide experience, paid this tribute to THE WORLD: “THE WORLD is one of the most fearless and aggressive newspapers in the United States: It showed both character- istics in its attitude toward the Ku Klux Klan, toward Wall Street and toward the milk strikes. It proved beyond any doubt that PAPER the so-called interests have no influence on what THEWORLDcon- . ceives to be its duty to the public. The Fair Play Bureau of THE WORLD tends to give the party opposing it as much consideration, often more, than it gives itself." It is one of the axioms of advertis- ing that space util- ized for this purpose increases in value in the same ratio as the respect and confi- dence which its readers re- pose in a newspaper. Anyclaim to unusual responsive- ness on the part of read- ers must be first predi- cated on the of confi- degree dence with which they accept the newspaper's efforts in their behalf. It is doubtful if any other great newspaper has for so many years fought the public's fight in matters of vast pub- lic interest with the intensity and sincer- ity that have char-~ acterized the poli- cies of THEWORLD.
