BUDAPEST, April 2. (By the
Associated Press.) A telegram
announcing the death of former
King Charles in Maderia reached
i Budapest late Saturday night, but
the news was withheld from the
-BUblie until today. Although the
fl Jcmbers of the government and
vl ie people generally were not
""w holly unprepared for the news of
f- the passing of the former mon
f arch, ithad been hoped the physi
cians in Maderia would be ablu. to
prolong his life until the arrival at
Funchal of his private physician,
who started from Budapest imme
diately word was received that
Charles was ill. Hungarians have
the greatest confidence in this phy
sician, and many of them believed
he would be able to bring the one
time king safely through his ill
ness. The news of tho death of
Cllarles caused widespread feelings
of regret among all classes of peo
ple. Even those who were opposed
ito the former kins were moved to
(expressions of sympathy by the
pragio and lonely end of his ca
rreer. As a precautionary, move,
mounted police patrolled the streets
of Budapest throughout Saturday
night and today to prevent any un

porters. The government declared
today one of national mourning.
All theatres and place's of amuse

were half-masted and music was
suppressed.

Count Stefan Bethlen, the premier.

M. Banffy. minister of foreign af
fairs, Htated today that the polit

by the death of Charles, but va
rious politicians hold the view that
a possible compromise between
those favorable and unfavorable to
Charles has been facilitated by bis
jieath. The monarchists express
the hope that Francis Joseph Otto
can be restored to his former rank,
with the present regime continu

friends of Charles expect to exer

G.O.P.ISJANISHED
Simmons Declares Tricks'
Resorted to to Oust Wo

rTABRINGTOS rURIilJ
THi 4flHT!M.I CITIZBM
I BY H. B. C. BRUST)
WASHINGTON, April 2. The
old-time democrats here have
noticed a decided change in the
attitude of the republican arty to
the minority in congress. Senator
Simmons said today the courtesies
that existed a decadeor longer ago
have not been brought down to
date. This means that the leaders
of the G. O. P. are grabbing every
thing in sight and telling the hind
most man to look out for himself.
It is a day of the survival of the
strongest. The republicans won the
last election, the business of the
country has been bad, and par
tisans demand Jobs. No democrat
or lukewarm republican is safe:
Lthe hungry horde is on tho march.
fDown in North Carolina, where
men believe in giving women the
right ot way, republicans are
throwing the weaker sex aside and
giving their Jobs to men.
I have never witnessed such
things as we are now hearing about
in .North Carolina," said Mr. Sim
mons. "At Beaufort, republican
postmaster Is resorting to every
sort of trick to Oust a woman
clerk. At MoreheaJ City, we find
postoffice department trying to
make a candidate, whose nomina
tion has been held up, acting post
master while the senate is con
ducting an investigation. That was
an unheard ot thing until this ad
ministration came in. Other in
stances might be cited."
Other southern states are having
similar experiences. The republi
cans are rough-riding while they
have an opportunity.
The cause for the present selfish,
take-everything policy is believed
to be a lack of real, able leaders.
Republican leaders in the house
and senate do not compare with
those of the old Cannon and Ald
rleh days. There are no young Joe
Cannons, John Dalzells, Sereno
Taynes, Jim Tawneys and Jim
Shermans In the house, or Ald-
rlches, Hales, Frys or Culloms or
Penrose in the senate. It would
take tho brains of four or five of
tho present day G. O. P. head men
to make a Eugene Hale, according
to experienced observers here.
One of the nastiest contests in
North Carolina is the one between
the republican postmaster R. B.
Wheatley and Miss Lillian Pierce,
an experienced clerk in his office.
He had Miss Tierce fired one time,
but Senator Simmons demanded
that she be reinstated, and she
was. Since that time Wheatley
has kept up his fight. It Is charged
that he has resorted to'questton
ablo methods to remove her. Rep
resentative Brlnson and Senator
Simmons have been In this row up
to their necks for weeks. Brlnson
has requested the removal of
Wheatley. Miss Pierce has been
in the Beaufort (office for eight
years, and is popular. Wheatley
has Just rone in. Inspectors were
sent to Beaufort to look into this
case, but already complaints that
the investigation is unfair have
reached Washington. An ordinary
person, with a desire for peace,
would have quit long ago under
pressure from such a man, but
Miss Pierce is'stickl,ng like a leach
and will go-to the mat with Wheat-
ley. Miss Fierce has been vindi
cated by the patrons of the office.
Republicans of statewide prom
inence are supporting the. young
woman.
But, in this day of sledge ham
mer methods, Mr. Wheatley may
ultimately win. The controversy
has been going on for months.
The postoffice row at Moreheaxl
City is already long drawn out. A.
B. Morris, the present postmaster
andshead of the eligible list, has
been ordered to give up the post to
Cleveland L. Willis, who has been
nominated by'the President for the
job. The nomination of Willis has
been held up in the senate, and it
may be months before it goes
through. Yet. the department
would make him acting postmas

Byrnes Gives Comparison
of Lodge's Statement
and Appropriations.
WiSRIVOTOV BrfiBAtI
1HRKT1M.I G1T1ZSM
(!' H. B. C. BRUST)
WASHINGTON, April 2. Ad
ministration republicans are try
ing to create the Impression that
the democilaus were extravagant
and they are saving. Senator
Overman asserted today that the
promised economy has not panned
out. The real situation is being
camouflaged. But, everywhere
the democrats of congress are
checking up on them. Represen
tative Jimmie Byrnes, ot South
Carolina, is a constant thorn in
the flesli of the republicans who
would get away with that sort of
"stuff." He has shattered an eco
nomic wind mill that Senator
Lodge constructed for himself in
Massachusetts and his party in
the nation. Henry Cabot Lodge is
having a spirited contest in his
historic state, and he heeds all the
help he can get.
Mr. Byrnes, who is a member
of the appropriations committee,
challenged a claim of Mr. Lodge
that the present congress had
reduced the appropriations asked
for-bv the departments of $5,337,
000,000 to $1,428,000,000. Mr.
Byrnes said ho wanted President
Harding's administration at least
to have the benefit of the facts
nqd stated thut the estimates in
tho budget were for only $3,801,
000,000. "I know that in politics and in
other things," he continued, "you
give a dog a bad name and every
body almost will kick him around.
Some people have been trying to
give the administration pf the
executive departments a bad name
and others following have been
lately kicking them around.
"Abe Martin said Cy Simpkins
bought a pair of shoes for $6 out
of money saved over from the
Wilson administration. Some
other persons have said that while
it took Wilson two years to raise
an army ot 4,000,000 soldiers the
present administration has raised
an army of unemployed of 6,000,
000 in six months."
Ixxlgo Makes a Small
Mistake, Says Byrnes.
Mr. Byrnes declared Mr. Lodge
"made a mistake of only one and
a half billion dollars against tho
administration when he said the
estimates were (for to. 337, 000, 000"
and that when he said tho esti
mates have been cut to $1,428,
000,000 "it Is difficult for anyone
to explain what ho did mean be
cause we know that up to date, of
the estimates and bills submitted
to this, congress and only six
bills have been reported to the
house so far the total of these
bills amounted to $2,908,000,000
or just about one and one-half
billion dollars more than the sen
ator from Massachusetts said had
been appropriated.
"Where in the world the sena
tor gets his figures from I do not
know, but (he facts were that last
year we appropriated 13,771.900,-
614.01 and this year the present
congress has had submitted to it
estimates amounting to $3,801,
113,659, and supplemental esti
mates amounting to $80,000,000
so that the estimates submitted
amount to $100,000,000 more than
the appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year."
MP. Byrnes agreed with Mr.
Lodge's facts that 93,000 employes
have been cut off the payroll ttt
said there are yet 157,684 on it
than June 30, 1916, and chatleng
ed"hlm to defend that arid to de
fend the expenditure of . mote
than $3,000,000,000 as against the
total expenditures of the govern
ment of $1,600,000,000 in 1916.
He concluded that the people
who read the reports of savings

LABOR'S INCOME
IN TEXTILE IRK
IS FALLING OFF
Figures Show a Decline
as Compared to the In
come of the Owner.
NEW" YORK, April 22. Labor's
share in the money distributed by
the cotton manufacturing industry
showed a decline as compared with
the amount paid to the property
owner from 59 per cent in 1914 to
47 per cent in 1919, according to
statistics issued today by Secretary
Russell Palmer, of the Amalgam
ated Textile Workers, in support
of the contention that a wage re
duction at this time is unwarranted.
The statement, based on the re
pert of the Labor Bureau, Inc.,
economic advisers to tho union,
says:
"In 1914 the total amount to be
distributed to participants in the
Industry was $267,779,000. The
part of this paid In wages and sal
aries was $152,423,000, or 69 pet
cent. In 1919 the total amount to
be distributed was $880,664,800.
and the amount paid in wages and
salaries was $410,488,000, or only
47 per cent.
"Estimates for intervening years
show that the most profitable year
ot the Industry was 1917, in which
the share of property rose to $1,
J20, 712,000. In this year property
received 79 per cent of the income
of the cotton manufacturing indus
try and labor only 21 per cent.
"The year 1918 was almost as
profitable as 1917. In that year
the share of property was $940,
190,000, or 79 per cent of tho to
tal. In 1919 production decreased
and prices fell a little, while wages
continued their upward course.
This again reduced the share of
property, but only to 63 per cent.
"The year 1920 brought the
share of property to $979,971,000,
or 70 per cent of the total. The
deflation of 1B21 reduced the share
of property to $158,962,000 and la
bor to $292J95,600.
'If we assume that the 1914 basis
of sharing was normal and that la
bor in succeeding years ought to
have continued to receive the same
share of the Income which it ob
tained in 1914, we can calculate la
bor's decision over the period. This
calculation shows that labor lost a
net total of $766,321,000 in the sev
en years. In terms of 1914 dollars.
And what labor lost was property's
gain."

The second day of the country

expected today. Union officials
maintained that COO, 000 men, of
whom 100.000 were non-union

6,200 mines were closed only some

In the mines. West Virginia opera
tors also were preparing to reopen
unionized mines on a non-union

both sides were expected to ob
serve n tacit truce and make no
effort for the time being to op
crata the mines.
The miners are supplying the
engineers and pumpers necessary
to protect tho works from flooding.
In the meantime the eyes of the
country will be turned to Washing

ficials have held that only the -istence

Justify government Intervention
and that such an emergency does
not exist at this time because of
adequate supplies of coal on hand
throughout, the country. Reports
from most of the unionized fields
indicate that Sunday passed
quietly, as usual. In many sec

other industries was Indicated by
reports and thousands were ex

approach the conference with a
complete confidence that Its
achievements will be satisfactory,"
