A number of the anthracite collieries
are now working on short time. The
announcement is made that. beginning
next Monday, forty-five colleries of
the Reading and Lehigh companies will
be closed down for six or more days. a"
This decision was reached. it is said,
for the purpose of still further curtail-
ing the production, which is now ''in
excess of the consumption" Has
there been any suggestion of an effort
to increase consumption by lowering
the price? Not at all. Prices are held
at famine figures, notwithstanding the
enormous stocks and the heavy pro-
duction.

Luck in Hands.

From the Philadelphia Press.

And held her hand,
And told her how the world seemed

And fair and grand.

Another hand.

a positive genius for organization, and
withal a responsiveness of language

Course in Regard
to Statehood

1912 C St, n W
Washington, D. c.. Nov 1G-Con-
aressman Mcclure is pursuing eau
tious course in commencing his
duties as a member of congress- He
does not propose to make any
breaks" that viii make him appear
ridiculous as one of his predecessors
many years ago did In fact he is
now sitting steady in the legislative
boat breaking no oars and catching
but few fish.
He has decided to introduce no bills
until the committees are appointed
The statehood bill for Oklahoma,
which il was announced he would
throw into the legislative hopper the
very minute the house was organized
has not yet ma its appearance ani
will moi for several days, ard, possibly
weeks. yet The truth is, that the
new delegate from Oklahoma is a
little undecided as to exactly the kind
of bill he win introduce, but ne still
insists that 1t viii contain a provis-
ion for the immediate admission of Ok
lahoma, and the absorption of Indian
territory by piecemeal, or as fast as
portions of the latter territory are
in shape for full local government in
the opinion of congress.
Mr.. Mcclure says frankly that In
dian territory should not be accorded
equal representation IN the constitu-
tional convention, and in fact that it
should have no voice in the formation
Of a state government under which
the people of that territory win uld-
mately live He does not put it in ex-
actly this language, but that is the
substance of what he says.
In conversation with The Leader
correspondent yesterday Delegate
Mcclure said Il will not introduce
the bill providing statehood for Okla
homa until the regular session. With
out doing anything prejuiicial to the
other territories seeking admission as
states, Oklahoma is going it alone this
year We believe in all fairness we
are entitled TO statehood, and we be-
lieve we can secure it if the case of
Oklahoma is presented alone and on
it's merits. We have a population ap-
proximating 10000, which is increas-
ing at the rate of 100000 each year,
and our natural resources are such
that the increase is bound to con
stinue'
YES" he added, Il am for statehood
for Oklahoma now without recogniz-
ing indian territory If future con-
crosses see fit to AID that territory
TO Oklahoma at some future time
when the people over there are ready
for statehood and local givernment,
well and. good, but | am opposed to
that now"
