FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1035. The Strike Settlement It was' cneeriugr-jiews uiai cuinc over the wires last uigut, oimouucmg tlie eucl 61' Jhe strike. Mine labor got all it asked.lor JD. the agreement finally reached after six months, bf negotiations--if the bfigmal demand for a reduction of the work-week to thirty hours. Thai'was perhaps not seriously contended for anyway.

In six hours a mail can 'hardly load but a cut and clean up his place for! the "next day's work--not under condi- that prevail in most mines. The time come when a still shorter day and be feasible, but it is hardly here Meantime mine workers are to be congratulated on the victory of their representatives at Washington, In the long struggle over wage rates 'they exhibited a technique around the conference table that Vould'do great credit to any body of men. The higher wages should make for a better opportunities for coalfield children, less strain and worry for Jthe libusewives. Coal will have to bring somewhat higher prices; So far as the Smokeless Coal region is concerned, that will depend upon the marketing agencies. But the in ihe mines and about; the tipples can 'be of great help--by all working to Ihe end that the coalj as dumped into railroad cars, is clean and of uniform high quality.

To make the. business go at top speed, miners', operators and marketing organiza- 'fions must all work together. Everybody is happy over the strike settlement. Let thai resolve itself into one of co-operation on the part of all hands to make, the business payWerybody connected with it. One Step Nearer If the voters of Raleigh county, on October 19lh, approve the court house bond Issue-of $75,000, there will be no delay in getting under the construction work on a new couri house.

Contrary to earlier reports, it will not have to wait on the Works administration to begin functioning. So far as the government's contribution is concerned, it be a Public Works or PWA project, which 'will be let lo con- 'tract as soon as may be after local approval 5s secured and carried to.completion with- fiut a hitch. Now that the President has given his approval to grant that will cover a larpc part of the cost, it remains only for Rnlcipli county voters to An their part, and the hone? 'and ambitions of many proerr-sKive citizens for rin adequate county building will he Much more than a transnositinn of initials is involved in the fact that the ap- authorized by President Roosevelt is PWA rather than WPA. It means that the work will be greatly expedited, and that the confusion incident to building the new court house around the old structure will be short-lived by comparison. Direction of the project by members of the bar association has thus far been excel lent, and they have had the whole-hearted co-operation of C.

L. Allen and associates in Charlatan. The services of the latter in preparing plans and in steering the project into proper channels have been invaluable. Their efforts should be crowned by a crashing majority for the bonds in the special election. This Changing World Some say it is; slill man's world; others, Hint it has passed to the distaff side oi the family.

At any rale, it is changed considerably since woman began to assert her claim for at least a half interest. Let Chicago be called to the witness stand first. Judge Rudolph Desort says alimony laws apply to women as much as they do to men in the midwestern metropolis. And with this piece of information for the world in general and for Mrs. Anna Sunde specifically, the court ordered Mrs.

Sunde to produce $75 within 24 hours as a payment on $267 of alimony arrears which her blind husband charges she owes him. "You had better have the $75," the court added. "I send men to jail for such things. Women wanted equal rights. I'll send a woman to jail for the same thing." Perhaps the court did not add to the judicial reputation for wisdom by that remark.

Slill, who knows? Maybe courts have to be hardboiled nowadays when women as well as men get behind in their alimony payments. A sociologist predicts a new age of naivete, comparable to the '90s. Already the four-year-olds who were doing Mae West impressions last season have gone Shirley Temple. -There IwrtAnyMore CHISELERS The question of chlselers continues to remain in the forefront even though codes of fair competition have been abolished. The Macon Telegraph thus discusses the matter: The textile industry again rushed to Ihe front wilh voluntary agreemenls to preserve wages and hours as fixed under Ihe repudiated codes of NRA, but now the 85 per cent who entered into agreements find lhat the fifteen per cent who refused or neglected to join them are playing havoc as competitors, and the industry Is trying to find a way out of the difficulty.

It la easy enough io pay good wages in. any industry, if all engaged in it will do likewise, but the chlseler is the enemy not only of labor, but of an improved order generally. He presses the crown of thorns and harshly against the brow of his worker so he can get a temporary ad- over his competitor, and can sell his goods at a lower price. The competitor must cut his labor likewise, and so ad infinitum. This is why it is so necessary for laboor to organize, and make all in a given industry respect an established minimum And this is why labor is so hard lo prolect ilself in all industry.

The lextile people are now trying to see if they cannot get a universal agreemenl among employers, establish a selling agency plan, and lurn discipline into ihe hands of the Feaeiol Trade Commission. They realize that the commission could nol be merely a punitive instilulion, always snooping around lo see what Ihey can find lhat is wrong; but it Is hoped they can act as a business advisory group. The idea has not yel laken shape in a law, because nobody has suggesled how such a law could be written. The Supreme Court is like the Sphinx. It Is more feared and more highly respected righl now than it has been at any time since the New Deal was born.

And it is safe lo say lhat the law- years who will rush in precipitalely wilh a law lo be passed would be irralional. But tho fact lhat industry is seeking to pul itself in posillon to Veep its labor happy and con- lenled without waiting for strong-arm measures from unions portends a new day for Waycross, Go. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER Washington, Sept. the nexl session of congress is more than three months distant administration leaders already are giving thought to the legislative program.

Wilhin a month or so the more Important committees of both houses will be back in Washington hard at work whipping proposed legislation In shape ifor presentation to congress Ihe first days of the session. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi will call his finance commiltee into session several weeks before the session to draft NRA legislation. Repre- Isentalive Buchanan of Texas, chairman of the houso commiltee, will start work on tho annual supply bills around the first of November. Lessons learned in Ihe first congress to operate 'since the "lame duck" amendment changed the dato of meeting will, be applied in the future. In tho last congress considerable delay was experienced at starl because committees were slow in.reporling various measures.

Leaders hope lo have suf- material in shape by the lime tho scstlon opens to keep both, houses busy from the opening day. Short Sculon Desired Every one from theWhlle House on down Iho 'lino Is eager lo have as short a session as possible. Next ycnr.ls national election year and members fwlll be anxious lo gel through quickly as possible be about their, campaigning, Much depends on President Roosevelt as lo how long Ihe session lasts. He has a fondness for feeding hi? legislative program to congress in small doses. His Iheory is lhat only in this way can he be assured of action on his entire program.

The temp- tallon to sidetrack measures if they are sent lo can- Hoi hill in wholesale fashion is too great. If he holds his messages, therefore, to a minimum the chances for an early adjournment will be good. Bonus Up Again The Immediate payment of the soldiers' bonus will be up for consideration again. Administration leaders have promised early study of the in the senate and Patman of Texas declares ht r-as ample pledges for passage of his bill 1:1 ing house. Funds must be provided for the social security program enacted in Ihe last session.

NRA expires on April 1 unless extended. A general survey of the situation for the information of the Presidenl and congress now Is being made. Transportation legislation will come up under present plans. A study of Ihe nation's fiscal system wllh a view to "equitable distribution of tax. and re- trenchmcnt In expenditures" Is pending.

The billion-dollar farm lorcanl bill, Ihe measure to rcgulnle commodity exchanges and the Copdnnd food, drug and cosmetic regulation bill await final action.

Desiring to a Broadway gadabout inquired of his fiancee where she would prefer to go to be married.

"Most of the stage stars go to Harrison, New York," she asserted. To ascertain just what Harrison offered in the way of sudden ceremonies, the young groom called the railway station and asked if Harrison was on their line. "Well, (ell me," cried the young man upon being assured that Harrison was, "how docs one go about eloping lo Harrison?"

Eager to move into her winter apartment, a pert young Broadway actress summoned a moving van and demanded to know how much. "$200, Ma'am," she was told. "But that's outrageous," she cried. "I'll pay you $125." Quickly agreeing, they signed the papers and then the driver looked up with a sly grin. "You could have whipped me down to $50 if you had tried," he said.

"You see, it's Friday Ihe 13th, and nobody moves on lhat day. As I have to pay men just the same, anything we are able to get Is just so much gravy."

By Bobbin Coons Hollywood--Her English folks think it is "frightfully amusing" that their Frances is a screen actress, but Frances Drake thinks it isn't "amusing" at nil--quite the contrary, it's very serious.

No, she licrsdlf is not deadly serious about She is a bright young girl (with a pretty face the criticis invariably call and she thinks it is amusing that her parents and her grandmother think her working in pictures is amusing. Frances Morgan-Dean, born in New York of English parents--her father was in Wall Street--grew up in Canada where her parents moved, but when she was 14 she was sent lo school in F-nglnnd, under her grandmother's wing. She was meant to make a society debut, get married and settle down, but she would have none of it. When the opportunity came to be partner in a dancing act, she took it, and Grandmother thought that was all right, because it was very graceful ballroom dancing. Quite A Character Grandmother, who is about 75, seems to be quite a character.

She gets around, write books and plays, has decided opinions, and Is out of a book, as Frances lells of her. For inslance, when a friend of Grandmother's an umbrella, she went down to the editor of a conservative London newspaper and convinced the journalists that something should be done about It, So there was a front-page story about Grandmother's friend's lost who in the world, except' Grandmother, could do such a thing?" is Fi.inces's justifiable exclamation.

And even Then he's dressed up he looks I he'd put on bis clotbes In the dark and slid down a firemen's pole." Emily shook with mirth. "You leave me all a-flutter with the pros pect Then shall I wear rldlns boots and a sombrero?" Judith considered.

"Have you goi something soft and floating and Inef fably feminine? If you haven't you ought to have: you ought never to wear anything but sport clothes In tho daytime and chiffons at night 1 "1 don't." She produced a beige chiffon, floor-length, with a deepyoki of cobwebby lace and Ions bell shaped sleeves. "Will this do?" "Perfect 1 can hear the crash rlgbj now. bopo you'vo got a string tiny pearls to go with It." Emily laughed. "I have." Judith grinned. "I wonder whal made me think you needed looking after." She uncurled herself and rose At the door she paused.

"I forgot to warn you that Dan Is a widower, and that he means no goo( by anyone. But I thought he'd be rather a relief after Edwin." At the mention of Edwin her throat contracted. What was Edwin doing at this moment, she wondered: reading his paper, perhaps, In the oppressive Victorian solidity of his father's house? She closed the door of her memory on Edwin and smiled. "Thanks for the hint. I'll try to keep my affections under control.

But he looked Interesting, Emily decided; tall and rangy, with thin, weather-beaten face that suggested, that he. had lived not wisely but too well. There- were deep lines at either side of his wide mouth, and a network of wrinkles at the corners oi his eyes, but the eyes were dark and fine, and the smile he gave her revealed the most beautiful teeth she had ever seen.

He came straight to her and took both her hands, just as David had done ao long ago. Was it a charac. terlstic of these men? she wondered. "Jude, you didn't warn me," he reproached her in a voice that was even softer and more slurred than Aubrey's. Judith said calmly.

but I warned her." He whirled on ber in consternation. "The hell you did! What did you tell her?" "That your Intentions are strictly dishonorable." He scowled at her and then smiled dlsarmlngly at Emily. "The truth isn't In her." he said sweetly. "She's repeating vicious gossip." Gus appeared with cocktails and Dan looked pained. "Do I have to drink those damn' things?" Do you ever?" Aubrey asked calmly.

He turned to Gus. "Bring tho whiskey." Dan's face cleared. "I thought maybe you expected me to be on my good behavior." Judith said Impudently, "I didn't know you had one." and Dan Raynor turned appealingly to Bmlly. 'You see? And I did want you to love me!" She laughed. Dan was a very definite Southern type, and one with which she had had very little experience: a type that lived bard, drank hard, and loved easily and briefly.

I won't be here that long, I'm afraid." Judith frowned.

"Don't be says you won't?" Emily smiled at her, and knowing: Judith's determination decided not to argue It then. "And In the meantime." Dan went on, "I think we'd better have a foi- hunt Ladies don't fox-hunt down here, but Jude's not a lady, thank God. And we can corral one or two others lite her. What about Satu'r-' day night?" UDITH laughed. "No grass under your feet.

Is there, Daniel?" Her glance flicked Emily for an instant, tenderly. "Emily's been 111, and I'm afraid she won't be equal to anything so strenuous for at least two weeks. But we'll have It later." 'Tell me about fox-hunts," said. "I'm not sure I'd ever be equal to one." "Oh, there's none of the fence and hedgerow stuff they have In merrle England," he reassured her. "We go out to my cabin for supper and get started about three In the morning.

The big cooa and the red fox walk just before day." "And what do you do in the meantime?" she asked curiously. "The low-llfes play poker, and others sleep around the fire."

Dan chuckled. "Don't you worry; honey." Emily looked so dubious that the three of them laughed heartily at her' apprehension.
