HANGS OVER THE UNITED STATES
Indiana. Miners Totalling 25,000 Have Already Quit Work
--General Strike Would Involve 350,000 Worlanen-
Coal Shortage Not Imxninent as Large Sup-
plies Are on Hand.
A despatch from Chicago Say's: -A.
strike of 350,004 coal miners of the}
principal bituminous producing fields!
of the country will follow enforcement:
of Judge Anderson's injunction;
against the "check -off" system, ae-t
cording to union officials. Already,
25,000 miners have quit work in'
Indiana,
Frank Farrington, head of the Il-
linois mincers, wired his chiefs that'
while a stoppage of the "cheek -off"
esstein wouldbe a violation oi`. con-'
treat, he could not order a strike until,:
it had actually occurred. It was:
understood he had received hie instrue-1
tions from headquarters in Indians
aapolis,
The Illinois miners will not be paid!
for two weeks and
until th
at time'
they will not icno;\: what action has
been taken by the Illinois operators
on Judge Anderson's injunction.
Illinois tn'iners +.ere reported ready
to strife and 400 quit work in the
Central Iowa district. They were the
fast to ge out in this state. It wee
not expected there would be a gen-
eral walkout becore next pay day.
Approximately 350,000 miners
would be idle if a general strike is!
called. The miner cf Illinois, Ohi-..,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michi-
gan, Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma!
Kansas, Texas, Wy"ttning, Iowa, and'
Montana, would be tied up. The
"cheek --off" system prevails in these
states as well as Inda`ana where the!
miners have already gone. out.
Under the "cheek -off" system the
mine operators deduct union dues;
front the men's pay and turn it over
to the union treasurer. Judge Ander-
son held moire raised in this way

ginia mine war.
Danger of a coal shortage was not
regarded as serious
by Chicago
mine
operators and eoal dealers. It was'
estimated Chicago had a supply sufft-;
dent for two months. Supplies of
both bituminous and anthracite werei
reported above normal, due to the ine.
dustrial depression. 'Similar condi-
tions, it was said, exist throughout the

China's Finances
at Washington Conference
A despatch from Washington
says: -The State Department
recently- called the attention of
the Chinese Government to the
possible serious effect upon its
credit which might follow de-
fault of the $5,500,000 loan
made to it by the Continental
Trust Savings Corpany o
Chicago. The Chinese Govern-
ment decision to default on the
Chicago loan defaulted alsoqls
several loans advanced by era -
anese institutions during the
world war and, so car as known
heir', the Japanese Government
has taken no action to satisfy
claims of the Ja.paane e creditors
of China.
The general financial tl;n'lnoraeli-
zation of the debtor country, it
is assumed, will he discussed in
t h e % aa: h ngton Conference,
when the C`lii•ie,ee problems are
prer,ented for di, i.0 a'ion..
Plebiscite for Two
Irish Counties
A tilt p ate 1 from London says:
-By a unanimous decision, says
The Daily N'e ,cs, the British
Cabinet has : t. t the Ulster Pre-
mier, Sir Jany,s Craig, an invita-
tion for his Government to con-
sent to a pbbi?eite of the coun-
ties of Fermanagh and Tyrone.
CARL AND ETA ON BOARD BRITISH
MONITOR SAILING DOWN TI` a DANUBE
A despatch from Vienna says: -
Curl .and Zita are aboard the British
river monitor, Glow Worm, of the
Danube flotilla, steaming slowly down
thet eomantie river ithich is famous
in song and (lance, towards a, to them,
as yet unknown St. Helena.
With them departs also what is
probably the last hope that any Haps-
burger may have entertained of
mounting the Hungarian throne.
In making his eomie opera, yet
tragic dash for the throne, Carl, in
destroying all his owa chances for
again setting the thousand-year-cl'd
Holy St. Stephen Crown on his head,
has alio had some revenge -he has
dethroned all the other Hapsburger
aspirants.
In archdueal circles the adventure
of Carl is spoken of in great bitter -
nese and characterized es "madcap
folly." The chief bianne is put upon
former Empress Zita. Even after the
fiaseo there was still hope in those
circles that !prompt abdication by Carl
might save the chances for some other
member of the H easbtug dynasty to
mount the throne. Some, however,
were extremely ,skeptical, one of the
archdi.skes remarking to the corres-
pondent:
"Zitaa will never lest Carl formally
abdicate and renouniee his nights to
the throne."
And so it has turned out, and Carl,
passing down the Danube on a British
warship, is still the legal king of
Hungary.
The Horthy Government, it is said,
has deeded to proclaim the dethron-
ization, not only of Car, but of all
the Hapsburgs, and will attempt to tits
this through constitutional change,
dropping the "pragmatic sanction."
In this manner, Hungary, under the
pressure of eircumstences, emerges
from a feudal monarchy into a more
denocratte hut still kingless mon-
arehy.
The Hungarian Cabinet has decided
to -comply with the Allied ultimatum
to depose the Hapsbumg dyeasq, and
has convoked the Assembly for Thurs=
day to pass the necessary mdtion.
A despatch from London says:-
Stubbornly refusing to abdicate
upon the demand of the Hun-
garian Government, the form-
er Emperor has now been forcilbly de-
posed, according to reports received
in official quarters here from Buda-
pest.

of the Harding Administration, lives
in the minds of those who will sit in

Can the dignified Mr. Balfour of
England, whose enthusiasm for the
League and its work starred the rep-
