E
Isn't Worrying Over Fact "That
Eligible Princesses Are
Scarce
WILL RETURN TO AMERICA
Ey o Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 27, Who will be the
lucky maid to marry the Reiglnu prince?
Contrary to the continental plap, which
nrrangerf roynl matchcs-i-sometlmos long
before the parties chiefly concerned are
old enough to give serious -thought to
the matter the Duke of Brabant, who
nrrives in Philadelphia today, has no
nuptial plans in view whatever. And he
has already passed his eighteenth birth
day. "It is a question to which Belgians
nro giving more than ordinary thought,"
said Monsieur It. II. Keibelman, jour
nalist and member of the Belgian party.
"The' Gcrman'and Austrian princesses
are out of the question, qf course, and
so nre the Bussian princesses. There
remain only the Spanish princess, who
is but a youngster, nnd the. two Italian
princesses, Mafalda and Tolanda, who
also differ-much from the prince In point
of age. Mary, the only daughter of
King tleorge of England, is twerity-on,c
vearsof age and considered too old for
his voynl highness."
1 So the question remains, what is
Prince Leopold Charles Philip Charles
Ailbert Belnard Herbert Marie Miguel,
heir apparent to the Belgian throne,
to do?
Will Study America .,
"He can't look to America for his
wife," said M. Keibelman alas "but
he is coming to the IJnited States again
within 'two yerirs or so. Not for a wife,
however. Nor to go to college. Thatls
a minor which is entirely false. He's
coming here as his father did twenty
years before him, to study America In-
timntplv."
"The prince has always been the pet
of the Belgians, and they want tp see
him happily married," continued M.
Felbelman. "I remember the day he
was born. We folks knew that a child
was coming to the royal family, and t
had been announced publicly that if the
child should be a girl the cannon would
firof twentv-one times, but that If it
should be a boy the cannon would firf-
one hundred times. Needless to say,
all good Belgians grayed for a boy.
"The guns sounded on a Sunday. I
was at the theatre. The play was on.
But the audience arid actors, in spite of
tho play, counted the thunderclaps pf
the cannon immediately they began. The
rwMitv. first I'onht was a soul-wrack-
Ing count Would, there be another?
There was another. When the twenty
second sounded, tho audience literally
screamed to Us feet, the actors on the
stage,shouted,,and the. orchestra pound
ed its drums and bltw blasts on its
trumpets and fiddled noises on Its violins
wild enough to wake the dead. And
then they sang the 'Brabanconne, V

Edward T. Stotesbury found it im
possible to take part'in the official re

A few minutes- before the Belgians
reached North Philadelphia Station, it
was announced at the Mayor's office in
City Hall that word had been leceived
from Mr. Stotebbury that he would be
unable to pniticipate.
Jlr. btotesnury was obliged to be out

Drives Auto Through Fence and
Down Twenty-Foot Bank to
Avoid Hitting Man
OCCUPANTS ESCAPE UNHUR1
To avoid striking n mnn on the
bridge spanning the Itea"ding Hallway
tracks, at1 Fort Washington. Mrs.
Harry Bimson, formerly of this city,
sent her automobile through a fence
nnd over n twenty-foot ombankment.
With Mrs. Bimson when the accident
occurred Saturday afternoon,', were her
four-year-old son, Thomas; her uncle,
Wiliiam Lesher, and the' Iiftter's ten-year-old
daughter, Helen.
No one was hurt in tho plunge that
brought the touring car to the edge
of the railroad tracks. Even the mn
chine was undamaged, although a wreck
train had to be called out to hoist it
from a gully.
Mrs. Bimson formerly lived, at .1232
North Twenty-sixth street. Iter hus
band recently took a position in Vir
ginia and Mrs, Bimhnn has been mak
ing her home temporarily with her
mother, Mrs. Jiary -Itutherford, Butler
street. Ambler. ,
"We were going io visit my hus
band's, brother-iu-law, Edward Craig.
a druggist at Fort Washington," Mrs.
Bimson explained.
"I was driving slowly when we
reached the bridge which Is at the top
ofca steep Kill. I saw two men going
in opposite directions directly 'ahead of
me. I turned to. the right to avoid
striking one man. The steering wheel
must have locked because I could not
turn It back,
"The machine went through a wooden
fence and then began sliding down the
embankment toward Uie railroad tracks.
It remained upright. When the bot
tom was reached the rear wheels rested
on the embankment, the front wheels
were in a ditch near the tracks.
"I -was thrown out, but was not hurt.
I must have been .scared, because I
don't remember bejng thrown from the
machine, I- think, my son Thomas en
joyed the plunge. He was pot frighten-ed,-at
bit," - , .

Washington. Oct. 27. The threat- I
curd coal 'mine strike brings up the
biggest industrial question that is be
foie the country today, that is. the
light to strike. That question is be
fore the railroad unions in tho nnti
stnke provision of the Cummins rail
road hill pending in the Senate.
If was in the background of the in
dustrial conference, even the public
gioup there favoring the limitation of
labor's right to strike. It will he the
lug issue before the conference which
(iompers has called of the American
Federation of Labor.
It contributed to the confident and
uncompromising attitude of tho capital
ni employers' group nt the industrial
conference, for the prohibition ngainst
striking is not only likely to be placed
in railroad legislation, but it has ill
l rendy got into the law without attract
ing undue attention nnd is likely to be
invoked against the ioal miners iu the
threatened strike.
Lever Act May Be Invoked
It is this law which President Wilson
had in mind when he denounced the
proposed strike as unlawful.
The Lever pr food control act recently
re-enacted forbids any one to "couipire,
combine, agree or arrango with any
otlrer person to limit the facilities for
transporting, producing, harvesting,
manufacturing, supplying. Btoriug or
dealing in any necessities."
Necessities under the act includes fuel
as well ns food. The inclusion of
transportation in the list of operations
Which must not be suspended apparently
makes the net apply to the railorads,
and would render a strike by them iu
support of the coal minters unions
illegal. , .
It renders unlawful an.v such strike
ns the miners contemplate, not merely
until the treaty of pence is ratified,
but until the President proclaims peace.
In other words, union lnhor faces not
prospective legislation, hut actual legis
lation aliadv on the statute books ami
forming an excellent nrecedent for the
prohibition of all strikes in industries
closely affecting the public interest.
Can Law Be Enforced?
If this law stands in the courts and ,
if it is ctiedivo in piucmu u, iut-n-ui
strikes, the whole radical labor pro
gram of direct nction in the ke.v In

Washington, Oct. 27. Measures to
moot the situation which would result
from the threatened strike of bitumi
nous coal miners Saturday were con
sidered toduyby- administration officials. .
At the same time the proposed striker
was discussed briefly in the Senate.
Senator Thomas, Democrat. Colorado,
asked unanimous consent for Immediate

a declaration of full support of Con
gress to the administration in its ef
forts to meet the situation and to pre
serve law and order, but on objection
of Senator Ilornh. Itepublii-an, Idaho,

Senator Itorah said he was not will
ing to commit himself in advance to an
unannounced program of the adminis
tration in dealing with the threatened
i strike. Senator Thomas announced that

I Senator Edge, Republican. New Jer
sey, proposed repeal of the nilti-trujt
laws exempting labor organizations from
prosecution.
. "It is strange." said Mr. Edge,
"that nt the very time when labor was
squaring off in some cases, T fear,
taking the law iu its own hnnds the
Senate should pass legislation exempt
ing it from punishment if it violates
tho anti-trust law."
Public Pays, Says Edge
Senator Edge said labor was not
really employed by capital, but by the

strike of the .100,000 soft coal min

willingness to negotiate n new wage,

avert the strike. Operators express a
willingness to arbitrate if production
is continued.
The administration's program for
dealing with the strike naturally will
not bo disclosed until thc strike has
developed.
"To announce now what the govern

said one ilfficinl, "would he to play into

you do not tell the other fellow what

Strong Hand on Radicals
While it Is the purpose to keep a
"strong baud" on the radicals, official!
made it plaiu that caution could be
exercised not to antagonize the more
conservative element. In this connec
tion they said that many of the miners'
demands might be just.
"It Is thc means they use to obtain
their demands to which we object,"
said one high official.
The War Department will guard
nonunion mines from attacks by strik

fact is taken as an indication of the
determined policy that will be- followed
by the authorities.
