MUSTY Law.
Old Time scheme to settle Date Of
Easter-Tr Trouble Has arisen Be-
fore 0ver 1T.

Morgantown was not alone in It's
discussion Of the date of Easter this
year.
1t worried the British nation and
the discussion finally reached parlia-
ment The row was all about the
date of the festival. Ali the calen.
dars said April Is was the date, but
somebody consulted a prayer book
and found that Easter fell ION the
first Sunday after the first fun moon
after March 81, and that II this full
moon be on Sunday. then the Easter
shall be upon the following Sunday.
They next found that the moon was
full ut ] a. m. April 5 Sunday and
hence, they held, Easter must come
this year on April -. This question
being once raised caused endless dis
cussion. Bankers did not know when
to declare bank holidays. Bills would
come due and other complications
would arise and the whole business
year would be disarfanged
So the bankers appealed To parlia-
ment and asked a special enactment
s4tAhitsN liR hutt III ittic AtdI ~ ilit
Is. Then up rose Sir Richard Web
ster, the attorney general and read a
bit Of musty law lie said this same
question had arisen III 1878 and 1915,
and that then it had been provided
for, and at the same time 1900 was
cared for.
He said: 1T is enacted by law, as
/ refer you, that The paschal full
moon, this year, shall fallo April Ia.
The paschal full moon isn't a really
full moon, not an actual full nor a
mean full, but fictitious, legal and
statutory full moon, sometimes called
an ecclesiastical full moon. The
moon will De just an hour from full
at midnight on the 18th OF April, and
the old act of parliament will operate
so that she will be legally and eccles-
iastically full and Easter will come
the next day"
And that settled it.

SITUATION GROWS SERIOUS.
Outlook For Clash in Eastern
West Virginia.

The Hen Who Determined to Strike
are Now Divided. and Some viii Re-
turn to Work, Even at the Risk of
Their Lives Maryland Strikers
Threaten TO Invade West Virginia
and to Make Trouble.
CUMBERLAND, Md, April Is. Now
that the miners strike has reached To
West Virginia, there are grave fears
that trouble will occur. The miners
employed by the Davis C9al Company,
in the neighborhood of Piedmont,
who refused TO go to work this mora
ing, having decided to strike on Sat
urday are divided. 4 warm meeting
was held at Bloomington When the
employees of two of the mines decided
to return TO work in the morning at
the risk of their lives.
The Georges Creek strikers state
that If an attempt is made to go TO
work on the part of West Virginia
men, they will march TO their mines
and compel them to quit. They
further say if the operators attempt
to force the men TO work, they will
invade West Virginia and organize a
strike that will tie that region up.
1t is reported that the Elk Garden
region is about ready TO strike through
sympathy.
An operator in this territory stated
that they Were securing foreign labor
and that as soon as they have enough
they propose TO put them to work and
call upon the State militia for protec-
ton.
1t is not believed that the miners
will hold out when they see that the
operators are determined TO hold out,
although they claim that they hold
the key to the situation. They now
say that If the operators. will meet
them ia joint conference and settle
minor grievances that they will drop
the cent differential.
There is scarcity of coal already
and the operators find that. they will
not be able to meet urgent contract
obligations with coal from outside Of
this territory as they had hoped when
the st rike was first instituted.
