COAL MIIIES: THICK

IN UPPER SILESIA;

By Associated Press) RYBNIK. Upper Silesia, March 7. "Women laborers in mines and factories and on railroads are more numerous than men in several districts of the coal region here. Girls and boys of 10 and 12 years ' are regularly employed, digging ditches, ballasting runways, pushing trucks, and doing other heavy work which before the war was done only by men. " This is the territory hitherto a part of Germany but claimed now by Poland, A plebiscite, or vote of the people, soon will be held under the terms of the peace treaty of Versailles to decide whether Upper Silesia will re

main German or become a part of Poland. The German mine owners say short

age of labor and post-war economic

conditions have forced the women and children into this toil, which under German administration was forbidden. There Is also a shortage of manpower because of the great number of soldiers from here who were killed in the war. The women engaged In the heavy work generally are Poles, distinguished by the bright shawl-like headdress which they affect. Some of them have adopted a modification of man's apparel as better suited to their work. The correspondent saw three women of two score .or more who constituted a "section gang" wearing heavy trousers under their short skirts. The majority of the women wear heavy shoes with thick wooden soles and cloth tops, all home-made. Some have boots, which apparently were once the property of German soldiers. Coal veins in this section generally

follow closely the surface of the ground and the work of taking coal out consists of simply digging it up. Some of the farmers have little mines on their land' and when their day's work is done they may be seen digging a night's supply of fuel. The mine owners do not Interfere with these Individual mining operations, even when they are carried out on rented farms.

He was regarded as one of the ablest members of the lower house and it is expected that he will be appointed a member of the interstate commerce commission. He has been indorsed for such an appoint

ment by all the members of the Indiana delegation in the house of representatives. Gates -Now Open. While out tor a stroll one day last spring Mrs. Warren G. Harding stopped in front of the white house to peep through the gates at the flock of sheep grazing on the lawn. A policeman promptly informed her, "you can't stop here, lady." Mrs. Harding pondered much over this and finally informed a friend that "if we go to the white house, the first thing I am going to do is to open those big gates that keep the public out of the grounds." Returning to the white house Friday from the inauguration ceremonies Mrs. Harding issued an order that all the gates to the executive mansion be

opened, and they will remain open fa at least four years. No sooner' hai the order been complied with that thousands of people swarmed over tbi . lawn and portico.
