Suggest Ion? for formatloit of ? new union, which would I no hide the worker? on ?he anthracite field? alone worn amenr tin* first reflections today from the breaking off of negotia tion* between the anthracite ope #tti< rs and representatives of the 1'lilted Mine Worker?. Advocate? of the Idea declared their (relief that it wa* a mistake to have both anthracite and bi tuminous miners in the same un ion since essentially the two indus tries are rivals and competitors. They assert the present union is dominated by the bituminous min er? and that had this not been so. the present anthracite strike might havo been settled long ago. Representatives of the United Mine Worker** claim that efforts to form a n? w anthracite union are efforts to destroy union soli darity and arc traceable to the operators. Tin- latter continue to declare that they are anxious to to have a union and havo no de sire to disrupt a responsible body representing their workmen with which they can make contracts. The most energetic support for the new proposals neeins to come trom the business men and mer chant* of the unthracile field who are affiliated with neither sld ? but who are dependent to a large ex tent tin both. A number of these outride bus iness men who have waited here In order to be In closest touch with negotiation? so llicy could snup hack into acUvity . the momma there was a prospect that the men would go back to work, went home jbtttorly dlsnppointed. TIri t many mt thom declared that If a long continued nnd hitter strike now would result in an arrangement, which would prevent strikes in the futur?- ill-;, would consider the pric? not too high. One and all they declared they were tired of making legitimate investments in the anthracllp field, nnd building up businesses only to have their work swept away by a labor dis pute every two year?. It does not seem to matter what the dispute is over, they say. They point out that when John Mitchell ledled the great strike of 1 f?02 he fought for arbitration nnd against the right of any coal company to withhold any part of a miner's pay for any purpose. A year ago the miners raised a great statue to Mitchell. Yet today John I?. Lewis Is leading the miners on a plat form which rejects arbitration and demands the check-off. or the withholding of union dues from the pay of euch other. This does not mean that the husfnfHs men hold the operators blamelem. They simply nre foil up on disputes. They say there a^e sharp Indica tions that many of the miners feel likewise. One big operator as serted today his men were willing to go back to work tomorrow, hut he did not know how long he toould have n breaker If he at tempted to open his properties Although some action ma v come from the Pennsylvania legislature, which eathercd In special session todny the next sharp pressuro for Ik settlement probably will be irought by the foreign speaking 4hese ?

It Is prob able that within a few days every foreign spcwklng priest In the fields will he '-ailed to a meeting st fkranton or Wllkesbarre fihren are not a unit as regards the slt the religious leaders of the fields nation, however. For some of the English speaking clergy take a dif ferent stand In the meantime, suffering and destitution are greater than at any period In 26 vtars.

Smallpox Epidemic Unlikely, Says Dr. Fearing There are u few cases of sntiill pox In this city, but nobody who has been vaccinated need feel alarm, provided the vaccination ["took", according to Dr. Zenas i Fearing. City Health Officer. Dr. Fearing discounts possibility of an epidemic of the disease here, i "1 regard successful vaccination as absolute prelection from small pox." he declares. Probably 90 per cent of the population here has been vaccinated. That, alone, would be security against the likelihood of an epidemic. "People who haven't been vacci nated. however, arc in constant danger of catching the disease. Many think they are safe as long as they don't go around folks who have smallpox: but they are ab solutely wrong. "In Its early stages. before the patient actually breaks out with the disease, smallpox 1h highly cou tugious. A person not vaccinated might catch it In passing an In fected indivdual on the street- ? an Individual who Bhowed no readily /letected signs of infection. There are hundreds of ways to catch it. outside of going near of a patient flat of his bark in bed with it. "Symptoms of small pox are high fever, splitting headache and backache, and a condition which the victim mistakes for a bad cold. The smallpox patient throws off millions of germs during the 48 or 72 hours during which the dis ease is incubating, and before he breaks out with It." Dr. Fearing reminds that there is no longer any quarantine against smallpox, and the surest way to avoid catching it is to be vaccinated. DR.

"Only through the pres ervation of such an ideal can so ciety hope to innintain Itself and to advance. If history teaches iinythlng. it teaches that the ages, nnd the countries which have con tributed to human progress, have been those in which the mind has been set free to range In s?*arr?i i of the truth and to declare it; ^ while the sterile times, and the 'sterile countries, have been those which have attempted to restrict land to subjugate thought and thn i search for truth and the freedom j to declsre it." Dr. Chafle gave the newspaper [folk a hearty welcome to the unl ! verslty.

QUEENS COLLEGE TO CELEBRATE FRIDAY ? Charlotte. Jan. 14. ? Queens I College, P^feahytertan Institution for women, will celebrate tomor row the one hundred and fifty fifth anniversary of Its founding, with a program In keeping with the occasion.

Shares on Basi-' of Present lloliiin-:- in Parent Institution Financing of the* project apm . sored by the Carolina Hank In? & Trust Company for erection of a handsome moviug picture theater and several stores on the half square at the rear of tho Carol! na Bank Hulldinr on Main street. , will be undertaken definitely Fri day in the mnillng ont of letters to all stockholders of the bank, 'offering them their pro rate share of stock in the theater proposition C?. It. I.lttle, cashier of the bank, announces. # The new enterprise will be cap italized at $62,500, or Juki one fourth of the hank's capitlllzution of $250,000, Mr. LUtle say?, ex plaining that the stock will bo is sued In blocks of $25 each. The hauk stock I? in units of S1 ??n. Thus, the holder of ten $100 shares of bank stock will bo of fered ten $25 shares in the theat er. The offer will stipulate that stockholders must accept or reject 'it by February, according to Mr. !Little. He estimates that It will j take about ten days more to com plete the financing of the project declaring it Is practically certain that no difficulty will be encount ered In disposing of such stock as may not be taken under the origi nal pro rata proposal. Then the details of the lease will be worked out. and plans for the combined theater and store build ing will be drawn In detail, with Ronton & Denton, of Wilson, t ho architects, collaborating with tho lessees in many details of the final sirrangcuumU. The lhaator is to be leased to the Carolina Theat er*. Inc., of Aahevllle. If present plahs work out. This corporation already has signed a tentative lease on the basis of a rental of $1.000 a mouth for a period of ! 15 vears. The entire Carolina Hank Idock. or the Hlnton Block. as It wns called prior to its purchase by the Carolina Bank Interests, is owned by the Carolina Hank Building Company. Inc.. which In made up of the stockholders In i the bank, but is absolutely a sep arate enterprise as far as its finan cing and operation are concorncd. This affiliated company will soil the rear half of the block, com prising tho thoater building site, to the new thoater company now in process of formation. A price of $60,000 has been agreed upon for the theater itto. Mr. Little announces, under an appraisal by three disinterested In dividuals. He adds that. Inas much aH all stockholder}? in the bank and the bank building com pany are offered stock in the new enlerpriHp, they would hardly be justified in kicking over whatever price was set on tho property. ; since, in a measure, they would merely ho taking money out of one pocket and putting It Into the other, the threo institutions being i so closely affiliated. The bank building company paid $300.000 for the entire block, including the four story Hlnton Building, one of the most valuable htislnoHS properties In this city. The present outlook Is that ue tual construction on tho theater building will begin In tho very early future, and that the struc ture will bo ready for occupancy by the Jatter part of the summer. , On the assumption that th< terms of tholr tenalvo lease will be accepted, the Carolina Theaters Interest are planning the installa tion of a handsome pipe organ as , a leading attraction In the now theater. This, alone, la expected to coat $10.000 to $12.000 Tho corporation also Is declared to bo working out an arrangement whereby vaudeville will bo shown here on Wednesdays and Satur days. by companies showing in Norfolk the other fottf week-days.

U. Nicholson The committee will km out to rulse a total jS. .?S.fifitV Every resident of I h In ci?/ v 111 bo asked to help. The Roys' Hand needs eddltlon al Instruments, more music, a hall for rehearsals, now uniforms and last but not least, a full time band director. The J 3.600 will pro vide all that, members of the com mittee estimate. Aside -from Its value to the boys themselves, in affording them in struction In music and thereby giving them worth while use for their spare time, the band already has demonstrated that it is one of Ihe most valuable advertising me diums Elizabeth City has ever had. It attracted much favorable com ment at the Virginia firemen's convention In. Newport News, at the opening of t ho George Wash ington Highway, at the Virginia Dare celebration, ut Acorn Hill Road event, and at many other lesser events in this and neighbor ing communities lnst summer. The band already has gone far toward placing Elizabeth City on lhe map; and it will go much far ther, the Roinrtaiis and Klwan lans believe, If It Is accorded the proper degree of support by t ho people of this city. Members of the committee which will raise funds for the band are: Ceorge 3. Slpence, J. Kenyon Wilson and A. R. Nicholson. Kiwanlans; and W. C. Sawyer. R. 11. Parker and Frank Kramer. Rotarians. The l>oys' Hand has been re hearsing regularly and faithfully these fall and winter months, on nn Inexorable program of two re hearsals a week. Ecslle Waldorf, director of the band, has worked tireleaaly in developing it. but he is handicapped seriously by not being able to give his full time to the job. He declares he can get far better results If he Is provided m it h sufficient funds to havo a hall for rehearsals--not necessarily a large and < xpenslve one and if he can receive sufficient salary to enable him to glvu all his time to It. Organized in August, 1921. the young bandsmen held their first rehearsal the following October 3. They gave their first concert early last spring, at the banquot at which Ihe Chamber of Com mon-? and Merchants' Association were united. The hand haw im proved steadily since, and can go ahead much moro rapidly with better financial support, members of the two sponsoring civic clubs believe.

It ha? been <!? tn<?nstrat#d anew I hut President ('?olldge cannot control I ho present Senate any more than he could the last one at u critical juncture ??r on a critical Issue. Thin fact may huve a distinct and perhaps an unexpected' eftilifly upon the final form of the tax leg islation which In to come front Congress. It ulno will megn s long delay In Rett Inn a vote on the resolution of American adher- 1 ence to the world court. In lis last analytd* it may have a very serious political effect .up on tho President himnelf. if he Is not able to whip the Senate tvto line, or If he doex not have an op en hreak with the Sonate would be the best thing for tho Presides! aftor all. These political sharps in nlst that the country Ih strong for tho President and very weak for tho Senate. Ituther than to try to drive an unwilling Senate U would l?e the better port of wis dom. they say. to flay tho Senate, n "Wilful dozen" and to let the country know exactly where re sponsibility lion in WaHhingUm. One thing Ih certain. The Pres ident's entire legislative program har boon thrown Into doubt. It Is perfectly true tho program in not o Ions one. It embraces princi- , pally four propoflltlonn: 1?Adherence to the world court, an Ihhuc ponding bofore the Sonato for three years. 2?-Reduction of taxes In ac cordance with the Mellon plan, as slightly modified by the House of Representatives. n. Economy of expenditures. ?1 ? Ratification of the foreign debt agreements. Decidedly tho moat Interesting 1 phase of tho vote seating Senator Nye Is tho visible evidence of a re newed alliance hetwen the Demo crats and the radical group of Re publicans, once headed by late Sonat or I?uFollette and now partly directed by LaFollette. Jr. After the elections of lt24, which showed great KepuhMcan gains, it was forecast thst the Democrats of the Renate might break away from the "unholy,al llance" In the Senate and fight matters out on a strictly,partisan basis, muklng the Democratic stand s deer cut and constructive one. rather than a destructive de sire to throw a monkey wrench In to the machinery wherever a weak j spot might be noticed, This cndr?e of straight party ac* tlon has been urged upon the Ben->! nto democrats by a number of j their leader?. The I>emo<rutlc situation IB Congress bus become anomalous In the extreme In the House of j HoproNcntatlvos a large qhare of the Democrat? worked and voted solidly with the regular old line, old guard, stand pat Republicans to put through the tax reduction measure virtually as submitted by tho Coolldge administration. . ul In the Senate Democrats are casting out the stand pat. the old ! guard, old Une regular Republi cans and ure found righting and voting alongside tho DnFollette ' group, all the while howling with h?Kh gleo.
