SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 600,000 MINERS VOTE TUESDAY The Welsh Miners Are Chief Opponents of the Peace 4 Scheme. © London, Oct. 30.--Tle whole body of British miners, 600,000 workers -altogether, will decide next Tues- day whether to accépt the govern- ment"s compromise offer of settle- ment and thus end the strike, or to remain firm on their original de- mands. * The danger spot is still in South Wales, where the hotheads are strongest, and the moderates are hopeful rather than confident, of ac- ceptance of the settlement in the forthcoming miners' ballot. . Two factors make powerfully for peace; one is the obvious fact that Bolshevism and all extremist talk and action is losing favor more and more with the general laboring com- munity here. It is un-English and makes small appeal to any beyond about one-third of the wage earning electorate. The second factor is that labor consigns itself to a political wilderness in England for the next decade if it now fails to respond to the apparent readiness of the best capitalist andsof parliament to re- establish 'industry all through on the basis of mutual good will and co- partnership. The Only Way Out. That is, admittedly, the only way ituation which the coal strike h brought to a positive impasse. [Léading indus- trialists who, rep, centres of the n relate how many millions sterling have already beem lost during the last month by cancelled shiipbuild- ing, engineering and other con- tracts Germany and Belgium meanwhile are hives of bustling, profitablé in- dustry, they are securing large Brit- ish orders. Austin Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, will shortly have to inform parliament that the strike and industrial uncertainty have al- ready knocked the bottom out of his revenue estimates. His budget for the current year must be recast, and the expenditure estimates for next year, 'whigh are now being prepar- ed by the department, must be fur ther drastically reduced. New educational schemes, which Involved one hundred millions sterl- dng annually, will probably have to be deferred for three or five years, and elaborate health and transport reforms be rigorously curtailed. TO MAKE RETIREMENTS IN CIVIL SERVICE The Service to be Reor- _Aganized--No More Sinecures. Ottawa, Oct. 30,--A lot of people on the payroll of the government' throughout the country. are likely to be laid off as a result of the re- - organization of the civil service at Ottawa and throughout the country, now being conducted by a subtcom- mittee of the cabinet, with the Chi- cgao firm of Griffenhagen & Co. as experts. 'It has long been a reproach that civil service is overmanned, and the reorganization now under way will, it 1s skid,"do away with this condi- tion. Thousands are likely to be laid off, but the list will be confined to the holders of sinecures and those whose record is that o@ incompe- tents. FARMERS PROSPERING Hon. Robert Comments on 'Western Situation. Toronto, Oct. 30.-- "If Manitoba had voted on the same questions as British Columbia in regard to the liquor trade," said Hon. "Bob" Rogers, who is in Toronto, "it pro- bably would have made the same de- cision as British Columbia.

Washington, K.C., told the Ontario Public Service Commis- sion, which held a sitting, that he thought newspapers should 'not be allowed to publish anything about a criminal case until the day of the trial, as 'too 'much .publicity inter- fered with the work 6f the police." "You wouldn't-object to the papers publishing thé bare facts," one of the commissioners asked. "Not the act of such a crime hav- ing been committed, no," replied the crown attorney of Wentworth county and Hamilton, "but a murder occyrs, and the front page of the i filled with every grandmother's tale and gossip. This sort of thing is bound to influence the jury in such a case." mh WAVE OF SERIOUS CRIME Seventeen Murder Cases in Ome On- > tario District.

The Government Regulates the Funeral Of Late Lord Mayor MacSwiney At Cork Cork, Oct. 30.--The body of Ter- ence MacSwiney, late lord mayor of this city, arrived here on board an admiralty 'tug late yesterday after noon. The tug, whose flag was tiown at half mast, docked at the customs house quay. Enormous crowds lined the oppgsite quays and nearby bridges. Government au- thorities in Cork immediately noti- fied Deputy Lord Mayor O'Cal- laghan and the Bishop of Cork that 'no , military display: would be per- mitted at the funeral of MacSwiney, and that neither drilling uniforms nor republican army ges would be allowed. Only the Irish republi- can flag in the procession, it was | stated, must be placed on the coffin, and he procession must not exceed a quarter of a mile in length.

The amendment was moved by | Col. Walter Guinness, a member of lan old Unionist family. Speaking {for the government against the i amendment, S. A. L. Fisher declared | it would be impossible' to have sepa- jrate excise and customs boards for {this country and Ireland, and im- | possible to have two fiscal systems {for Ireland. | After the union of Ireland has { been "accomplished; then the wholes | question might be reviewed, "he sug- | gested. Sir Samuel Hoare, supporting the amendment, said that if Ireland was refused conrol of her own finances, the Home Rule bill was "camou- flage." He said the government { should put life into its fiscal clause {or drop the bill altogether and go {back to an intelligent system of | Union government. { J. A. R. Marriott declared the {amendment was against the whole system of federalism and supported | separatism. | Gen. Seely stated that if fiscal au- | tonomy were not conferred upon {Ireland immediately the bill, when |it became .a law, would be a dead | letter in five-sixths of Ireland. Murray MacDonald resisted the proposal of fiscal autonomy because, he said, it would enormously exag- gerate the differences already exist- ing between north and south Ire- laud, and would result temporarily in completely severing connections between ireland and England. Another amendment moved by Major Hills, providing that excess profits duty should be placed unuer the control of the Irish parliaments, was negative without division. ------------------ 'NOT IN WARDEN'S HANDS Penitentiary Charges Out- come of Departiient of Justice enquiry. All appears to be quiet at the Portsmouth penitentiary Warden Ponsford is. on duty, and although he applied for leave of absence he does not know when he will have the op- portunity to get away from his oner- ous duties. Asked about the prosecu- tions against guards in connection with trafficking with inmates and the wholesale pilfering of govern- ment property recently reported to bave taken place with the assistance of a local second hand dealer, he sald he could 'give no information, as the cases -were not in his hands at all, but were the outcome of an indepen- dent investigation carried on under direction of officials of the depart- ment of justice, Ottawa. Something may develop along this line any day that will create no less interest than the recent rioting and escapes of the two "prisoners in an automobile. While many things connected with fhe prison have been disclosed, no- Bolly appears to be able to name the party responsible for the escape of the two -prisoners, and it is stated that no guard had been placed direct ly in charge of them, but that they were employed outside' the supervis- ion and over-sight of any officer, This appears to have been a complete disregard of regulations, which state that "No two or more prisoners shall at any time be employed outside of the sight or easy hearing of an offi- cer." Superintendent Hughes said that there were many old-time off}- cials who were past rendering use- ful service, and that during the past two years they were gradually being Freplaced by younger men. Seventeen in aH had been retired. He attributed the recent strike and uproar on the part of the prisoners to the firmer en- forcement of discipline. Resentment was shown when prompt obedience was enjoined upon guards and pri- soners alike, and when a clean-up was instituted the anger of all was shown in many WE. a t---------- DEARER ELECTRICITY ° to 35 Per Cent.

York, Oct. 30.--Gomex Morin, secretary to General Alva- rado, Mexican minister of finance, who is here to turn the local Mexi- can financial agency over to M. Pes- queira, says conditions in Mexicq are greatly improved, and that the jm- provement is progressing steadily. Crops are large, mineral and oil pro- duction and export are New in entire harmony in the working-out of a sound fiscal policy and the coun- try's transportation system is being steadily pushed forward according to a comprehensive scheme. "Termination of all revolutionary activities has made it possible to go ahead with the financial and indus- trial .deyelopment of Mexico." Mr. Morir said. "At present, there are not twenty men armed against the government. The transport of com- modities and minerals fs now pos- sible without military escort, and this- fact has so greatly reduced the cost of transportation that many en- terprises which formerly could not 'be worked economically are now be- ing developed profitably." Mr. Morin thinks the government terest on its debt and says no new borrowing is contemplated for the immediate future. The railway de- velopment, which is one of the most important items, will be under gov- ernment supervision, but the develop- ment elsewhere, he thinks, will be largely private. "Tn this respect, he pointed out, many rich Mexicans aré coming to New York for financial as- sistance. 3 ADMIRAL COUNDOURITIS Formerly Greek Minister of Marine, who has been appointed regent for Greece.

HARDING BET 'Wall Street Man Ready to Wager $1,000,000 For Brokers. New York, Oct. 30.-- The most sen- sational development in election bet- ting thus far 'came yesterday whe Milton G. Schwerin, president of the Wall Street financial bureau, at 15 "Whitehall street, announced that he had been commissioned by a coterie of Wall Street brokers, members of the stock exchange, to wager $1,- 000,000 on Harding and Coolidge at odds of 10 to 1. ¥ It could not be learned that any part of .this money had been placed. | Many of the supporters of the Demo- cratic nominees have expressed a willingness to accept odds of 8 to 1, so that if the Schwerin offer of 10° to 1 is what Wall Street calls "a firm bid," there should be little dif- ficulty in placing the $1,000,000. So far as the odds were concerned in the betting, the only change was that in reference to the gubernator- fal contest in which Judge Mill# be- came a 233 to 1 favorite over Gov- ernor Smith.

London, Oct. 30.--Speaking at a luncheon tendered to Governor Kell, of the Australian Commonwealth Bank, Austen Chamberlain, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that while he could not welcome ers of short money under the present circumstances, which would make them competitors with ° himself in Great Britain's hour of need, they would always have the British Gov- ernment's good-will when they in- vited investors to take up long term issues for the development of... .the Commonwealth.
