UNEMPLOYMENT IS DECREASING Condition Improving All Over Midwest, Says Chicago Man. NEW TORK, April 4.—Unemployment Is decreasing, according to a, survey of ( the principal industrial areas by the United Press today. New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia reported more men at work and prsopects still more would get jobs in the near future. J. J. Boyd of the Illinois employment bureau said unemployment decreased 50 per cent In Chicago during March. “I believe the situation all oven the mid-West is improving,” be said. "There has been an unusual demand for freight car builders, always a barometer of employment conditions.” Dr. Ben Reltman, employment expert of the city health department, backed Boyd's statement, saying there had been a “remarkable decrease” In unemployment. Birmingham and Atlanta, principal Industrial cities in the South, reported a gradual Increase In the number of jobs. The Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce reported It had sent a questionaire to cities throughout the East. The answers r x a recent Increase of about I'j per cent In employment. UNION HEADS SEE VICTORYIN WAGE OFFER From Page One.) reports of serious attempts at violence In the nation-wide strike. At union headquarters continuance of work by miners in certain States was explained in this fashion: Union officials are not opposed to the continuance of work by negro miners in Alabama who had long been idle because of difficulties in that field. They likewise. It was stated, are not opposed to union men working in West Virginia, the storm zone of unionism. Tennessee miners are considered automatically removed from the union by their action In continuing work, because, it was explained, the United Mine Workers are not a party to the contract in force there. Western Kentucky miners are authorized to continue work tecause of an overlapping contract there whbh has a year to run. CONGRESS COLD ON LEWIS IDEA WASHINGTON. April 4—The recommendation of John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, that the Government take over the coal mines and operate them in the Interest of the public as the only p ssible cure for the ills with which the industry is affected, left Congress cold today. Even the most ardent advocate of Government ownership entertains no hopes that such a program could be put through, although many members of Congress are convinced that sooner or later, as Lewis said, some remedy will have to be found. .-Indications Increased today that the coal strike Is to be a long drawn out controversy. Testimony from both sides, as developed by congressional investigation, disclosed that the coal operators will not enter into any country-wide wage agreement, and as for the miners, the testimony has been equally positive that they will not make any State or local agreements, and will agree to settlement only on a nation-wide basis. The positiveness and apparent determination on both sides left congressional investigators in somewhat of a quandary today, although they pursued their inquiry into conditions leading up the controversy. President Lewis again was the chief witness. A pet plan of some members of Congress as emphatically rejected by the miners’ chief. This scheme contemplated the creation of a Government agency, clothed with authority to fix wages and regulate working conditions—a sort of permanent peace and arbitration body. "It will not do,” said President Lewis. "The miners are not favorable to the creation of any governmental tribunal empowered to fix wages and regulate working hours. The very theory is repugnant to them.” President Lewis will leave the capital late today for New York, following his appearance before the House labor committee.

BREAK IN RANKS OF OPERATORS SCRANTO, Pa., April 4.—A break In the ranks of anthracite operators occured today when the Grove Coal Company of I’eckville, near here offered to grant the miners’ demands for twenty per cent advance in wages. The company Is a small Independent concern and not offillataed with the Anthracite Operators Association. It was said today small mining companies in the local field are contemplating action of the same nature. DENY DRIVING 100 MINERS OUT BECK LEY, W. Va., April 4.—lnvestigation of reports that 100 union miners have been driven out of Stoteshurv, W. Ya., were begun today by district United iMine Workers officials and county officers. The reports received by John Gatherum, union secretary of the district were that opposition had been aroused because an organization of miners was effected last week. C. R. Staple of the E. E. White Coal Company, which operates the collieries at Stotesbury, today made vigorous denial of the report. BORAH SEES MINE SEIZURE WASHINGTON, April 4.—Mine owners of the United States are inviting the public to take their mines away from them, when they refuse to abide by their contract and confer with miners regarding wage and working agreements. Senator Borah. Idaho, said in a speech In the Senate today. “It has been said the Government is helpless in this strike situation,” Borah declared. “It will no long remain helpless, for the Interest of the public must be maintained." WAGON MINES QUESTION UP BRAZIL, Ind., April 4.—Whether small wagon mines, in the Brazil block coal field, shall be allowed to continue operation during the national strike, is to be determined at a confesrenee of union officials and owners of the mines nest Monday. The district executive board decided against the policy of permitting operation of such mines, but agreed to the later conference, at which it is expected the owners will be permitted to deliver fuel to domestic consumers, but will be barred from supplying industries with coal. CUT FROM $7 JO TO S3M PER DAY KANSAS CITY.

BURBANK’S BETTER GARDEN TIPS DELICATE FLOWERS Article No. 10

By LUTHER BURBANK. World’s Greatest Scientific Agriculturist. If a more elaborate assortment of flowers than that already spoken of Is desired, the gladiolus should be given a prominent place. It is hard to find a flower more profuse In worth-while blossoms, and they are to be had in an almost endless variety of color and form. Gladioli will grow in almost and soil, but earth containing some sand seems best. Tne ground should be well spaded to the depth of about a foot. If bulbs are used, do not use fresh manure. This often tends to produce disease in the bulb. Five or six inches below the surface is a proper depth for planting, although where the soil is particularly

There May Be Light All Day and All Night BERGEN, K. J.. April 4.—Perpetual light next to perpetual motion, the dream of scientists of ages, is at hand. Cities of the future may be lightened by powerful globes requiring no motive power. Lights, once lit will go on forever, eradicating darkness turning night Into day at the will of humanity. Tremendous natural forces now required to motivate electricity for lighting purposes, end to supply illuminating gas can be turned to other uses. These are but a few of the dreams for the next half century or even the next decade created by a reported remarkable discovery of a young Italian inventor here, who has developed already a light which once charged, will burn for three years without further contact. Behind guarded gates, workers in a small factory here are producing the first fruits of the inventor's scheme for perpetual illumination. The light as produced at first, it 1s said, will be a pocket affair, or for use in lighting interior. It is nonexplosive, air tight and convenient to carry. It will sell for less than $5.00 Once lighted, the alleged Invention cannot be extinguished, but shutters dim It when not in use. The light is “cold”; it remains at all times at a temperature ten degress above freezing.

working agreement. Basis of negotiations will be a return to the wage scale of 1917 which provides for a wage of s3.fio a day as compared with $7.50 under the expired agreement, according to W. L. A. Johnson, general commissioner for the Southwestern Interstate Coal Operators Association. Johnson declared the operators are Justified In seeking this wage scale In view of competitive conditions in surrounding coal producing States. > > NEGRO GUNMAN ATTACKS MINER CLINTON, Ind., April 4—As a result of the first violence in '•onnection with the coal strike in Indiana, police and county authorities are seeking a negro who shot and seriously wounded Elmer Williams, a miner. Williams, passing Miami Mine No. 8, where he worked, attempted to stop the negro “shooting up" mine buildings, he said. The negro turned his weapon on the miner, shooting him through the h ‘ad. Williams probably will live. The assailant's motive in shooting into the buildings was a mystery as no one was at work. SHAMMING, SAYS PRESIDENT LEWIS WASHINGTON, April 4. Coal operators who declare that they cannot confer with union miners to negotiate a new wage scale because of fear of the anti-trust laws are "shamming” the public, John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, declared today before the House Labor Committee during its investigation of the nation-wide coal strike. Lewis told the committee that the attorney general had rendered an opinion to President Harding, who, in turn transmitted it to the operators, that such a conference would not be unlawful. 7. W. W. AGENTS IN ANTHRACITE FIELDS Agitators who claim to be members of th. Industrial Workers of the World, but who aro said by Indianapolis union officials to be paid agents, have made their appearance in the Pennsylvania anthracite fields. The miners, who claim that the agitators are paid to give the strike cause a blnck eye with the public, promise to drive out the alleged I. W. W. agents.

OPERATORS MAKE STRIKE SURVEY CHICAGO, April 4.—Non-union miners are sticking to their picks and shovels in the non-union fields, the Illinois coal operators announced today in making public the result of a survey conducted In the States of Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and 'Vest Virginia. Virginia mines are working seventy per cent full time capacity, It was stated. "Twenty-two thousand non-union miners In Central Pennsylvania have remained at work,” the announcement said. "The Unions are making no progress In the non-union fields ox Pennsylvania.” According to the statement, all nonunion miners In Northeastern Kentucky are working 100 per cent, wherever orders for coal are available.

Is recorded In other districts of the State.

sandy It Is well to plant even an Inch deeper. Selection of an open spot where the sun strikes is important. Also water plentifully before the plant begins to flower. In cutting the flowers leave at least four full leaves on the bulb. This matter of cutting brings up another mistake beginners make all too frequently. They make the mistake of cutting all the leaves away. This should be carefully gv.arded against as new bulbs grow after flowering and need the help of the leaves. Another point to remember in cutting is to insert the point of a knife sidewise into a stem and crack the stem over, rather than breaking it off. This aids the bulb in its natural growth. (More flower hints by Burbank tomorrow’.)

Girl Who 6 Jilted 9 Millionaire Chats PINK PAJAMA-CLAD MISS BARES SOUL All Fagged Out From Fitting Gown

By PATJUCIA DAUGHERTY. ON BOARD THE CALIFORNIA LIMITED, EN ROUTE TO CHICAGO, April 4.—Secret telling time when the lights are out and ”our mother had called “the fourth and lust time,” to "stop your chattering and go to sleep,” and you go right on, only in a whisper, and tell your chum the rest—why you like the boy next door,, what you are going to be when you grow up—and everything. Do you remember? Os course you do, if you ever were a little girl and had secrets —and Mary Landon Baker, despite all that has been said and written, Is Just'a little girl, and every one will admit she has had secrets. And so we lay in her compartment on the California limited and she told them to me. The lights were on at first and we had gotten into our pajamas, her’s were pink; trimmed with lace and she was combing her lovely bobbed hulr. LEFT RICH YOUTH WAITING AT CHURCH. Miss Baker, it will be remembered, left Alllster McCormick, son of a Chicago millionaire, “waiting at tho church,” which was thronged with Chicago society on the afternoon they were to be wed. She told me the reasons why she failed to appear for the wedding. The wedding was to have taken place on Monday. "Thursday night before the wedding there was a party for Alllster and me at the Casino Club,” she said, “and I Just adore dancing so we stayed up pretty late. Then Friday night I had a < inner party and we had a rehearsal a. the church. As if any girl has to be shown how to wnlk up the aisle on her wedding day. I was awfully tired Saturday morning, but I got up because the dressmakers wanted to try on my dresses. “I slept all day Sunday. I was so tired and nervous and Alllster came over. When he saw I was 111, he Insisted on postponing the ceremony and I wouldn’t think of It; but the next morning I was so weak and exhausted from all the dressmakers' fitting and the round of parties people gave for us 1 couldn’t get up. ALI.ISTF.B GIVES ANOTHER RING. "Alllster telephoned and again Insisted >o postpone tho ceremony or have It read In my house. ‘Nothing doing,' I said. I'm going to be married in church at 4 o’clock,’ but at 3:30 as I went from my bedroom to the drawing room to have my wedding picture taken I collapsed—wedding gown, veil, flowers and all, and the next thing I knew it was 7 o'clock on Jan. 2, and I wasn't married. "I collapsed from the strain of fitting on clothes and going to parties all sea-

son and that’s the only reason I didn’t marry Alllster on Jan. 2.” And, so, when Mary Landon Baker leaned over and kissed me good-night, I didn’t ask her any more questions—which Is unusual for me.—Copyright, 1922, International News Service.
