meeting a day or two ago, to con
slider the matter of striking for an
advance of a quarter of a cent a
bushel. 1t was decided to keep on
at work until the river rises and
then demand the advance. On
this side of the river the Consumers
Coal and Mining Company and all
other operators are paying the two
cent rate. This is what is making
the Pomeroy miners demand an
advance.
Don't fret. If there is any one
thing more than another that devel-

pleasantness by repining over our
lot in life. When trouble comes,
use your brain force to overcome it.
By persistence you will succeed,
