Russia's Prp-War
Cotton Plants
May Not Reopen
Industry Suffered to Such an
Extent During Revolution
That Rejuvenation Ii
Doubtful. '
London, Oct, 27. Russia's great
urewar cotton industry, has suffered
to luch an extent darinc the revolu
tion that it is doubtful whether many
t.f the mills erer will be able to op
iate azain. says Sir Charles Maca-
ta, an English authority in the
world s cottoik trade, in an inter
new in the Yorkshire Pout.
1 Based uoon information obtained
from an Englishman who recently
returned from Russia, where for 14
wars he was the manne r of a large
totton factory near Moscow, Sir
- -Charles estimates that of the 9,000,.
000 soindlcs mntiinir in Russia br
t'ore the revolution not more than
!(W.0OO or 300,000 are now operating,
Industry Nationalized.
The experiences of the English
imager of the Moscow factory
were told as an example ot the mctn-
ctra employed by revolutionists in
dealing with one of Russia's great
industrial assets, the textile factories
in the Moscow district. Ilus par
ticular mill carried on all the pro.
cesses from cotton soinnitia; to tli4
finished Dfodnct. 17,000 workers
having been 'employed under nor;
ma! ooeratinir conditions.
When the bolsheviki assumed
nower the whole cotton industry was
nationalized. At every mill commit
tees were formed and finally, in
tober. 1919, a decree was issued that
r.il who had been connected with the
former 6wn?ts would have to leave.
With the experts gone, the mill
topped. After a thne attempts were
made to restart it, but it was almost
impossible to obtain raw cotton.
Small quantities wefe obtained,
which after being diluted with 75 per
cent waste, was put through the
processes.
Machinery it Abused.
''I he machinery now is in a very
bad state, in such a state, in fact,
that it would be almost impossible
to operate the factory properly, ac
cording to the information given air
Charles. Whenever machines are
damaged other machines are de
nuded of parts to repair them.
- Sir Charles stated that there was
little possibility of English workmen
Koing to Russia for employment in
textile factories. Mills in Germany
and Austria were turning out only
from 25 to 30 per cent of the nor
mal production, he said, and Eng
lish workers faced the almost im
possible task of making up for the
four and a half years' stoppage of
textile manufacture owing to the
war. -,..','. ;-v'v.
Lutherans Condemn War
' Rules on Missionaries
Washington, Oct. 27. The bien
nial convention of the United Luth
eran church finally adopted resolu
tions urging revocation of war-time
restrictions on missionaries. The
action presumably was aimed at the
British government, which was fre
quently named in the debate. '
Objection by members that it was
not wise at this time to pass the
statement of principles to which the
resolutions were attached were
voiced during the debate.
Full voting rights for members oi
church boards will be asked by the
v.jomen's missionary society, by Mrs.
JG. Traver of New York, president.,
tomorrow. , , , .

Chief Hopeful of'
Settlement Soon I
Feeling of Optimism Concern
ing English Coal Miners
Strike Expressed in v
, All Quarters..
By JOHN STEELE.
New York Tlmw- hl Triban CbU.
Coprrtcbt. mo.
London, Oct. '27. '"I am hopeful
that the end is near." sayi Fred
Winstone, South Wales miners?
leader, on leaving a conference at
which the miners' leaders and repre
sentatives of the coal mine owneis
met with the government.
This epitomizes the feeling of; op
timism concerning the labor situation
which is found in all quarters todav.
The government officials are still
more definite saying they expect
the crisis will be dissolved within
24 hours.
The first move toward peace this
morning was a two-hour meeting of
the miners' executives in their head
quarters, after which the full execu
tive committee went to Downing
s'reet.
Shortly after their arrival it was
announced that the conference no
longer was an "unofficial conversa
tion," but that official negotiations
had been resumed.
Both sides were pledged to secrecy,
but it is known that definite pro
posals towards settlement of the
strike were put forward by Lord
George which the miners' 'executive
xmmittec was disposed to think ac
ceptable. , .
If, after discussion, they confirm
this opinion, a full delegate meeting
will be called tomorrow in London.
This body has the power to call off
the strike if- it agrees to the orooos-
als. If, it disagrees, however, it is
unlikely it will take the responsibil
ity of rejecting the plan without a
further ballot of the whole member
ship of the miners' federation.
According to reliable authority
abroad an outline of the proposed
settlement embraces the following
poiuts:
The miners will get two shillings
per shift wage increase immediately.
Wages will be hxed m future on a
basis of the profits, coal owners'
committees being established for the
purpose of determining these profits
and speeding up the output, which is
the country's greatest necessity.
There will be pit committees, both
district and national.
The owners agree to do their best
to improve facilities including pro
vision of new machinery, more
trucks, and better mine arrange
ments, while the miners promise to
try with all their power to end ab
senteeism which now is one of the
greatest factors in the low output.
A board will be set up which will re
view the whole coal position on De
cember 31, and wages will rite or fall
according to. the recommendations
of this board, based upon the finan
cial condition of the mines.
Cox Justified Opposition
' to League, Says Orator
"The campaign is over, because
when Governor Cox, at Huntington,
W. Va., said that he Svould sit down
with the senate and reach an agree
ment before our going into the
Jeague of nations' he justified the
opposition that has been spoken
against the Wilson league," declared
Dana Van Dusen, speaking Tuesday
night at Fifteenth and Dodge streets
under the auspices q the Douglas
County Republican club. A large
crowd cheered him lustily.'
Partial Eclipse of Moon
Is SeerfFrom Omaha
Following a cold, still, clear night
in which the moonlight was unusual
ly strong, a partial eclipse of the
moon was visible' from Omaha be
tween 6:28 and 6:40 yesterday morn
ing. . j
Rays of the rising sun, disseminat
ing from a clear sky, soon rendered
the eclipse invisible as the moon set.
The eclipse, announced several days
ago by Professor Rigge of the
Creigliton university observatory, af
fected an upper section of the lumin
ary to about one-sixth. .The moon
looked as if a dirty finger had been
laid across the upper left section. Ac
cording to Professor Rigge, the
eclipse was total, as seen from points
farther west than Omaha.
Revolt Stamped Out. .
Buenos Aires, Oct. 27. A brief
but unsuccessful revolution broke
out in Bolivia, according to advices
received here today. The move
ment was immediately suppressed
and 27 of its ringleaders were ex
ecuted. A censorship has been im
posed by the Bolivian authorities.
More than 65-per cent oi the tex
tile workers in Russia are women
We Recommend
Economy
"Economy" is real coal; high in
heat units, easy to kindle, giving
strong and steady heat and hold
ing fire better than other grades at
higher costs.
Economy Coal is time to its name.
Used i n furnace,
heating stove o r
range it costs you
less for jthe heat,
you want than ,
other kinds of coal
for sale in Omaha.
It makes little ash
or clinker and,
where chimney
flues and pipes are
adequate, is prac
tically sootless and
smokeless.
