Curbstone Profanity.
From the Worcester Spy.

Vineland, N. j., has inaugurated a cam
paign against what IS termed ''curbstone
profanity Up to Saturday night there
was a record of ten persons arrested and
fined for using profane and vulgar Ian
guage on the street. It is worth a great
deal just to show street 1oafers that they
cannot always with impunity make them
selves odious to respectable people The
improvement of moral tone necessary to
abolish the use Of improper language, even
in public, probably cannot be effected by po-
lice and courts but limits of the abuse may
be narrowed by little extra watchfulness
and determination on the part Of those
whose duty 1t is to see that the rights Of all
persons, when on the streets or In other
public places. are duly protected.

Miners Say They Cannot

Officer of the Union Explains the Sit

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
SCRANTON, Pa, January 16-According
to the miners of the anthracite region the
big coal companies have now in practice a
plan whereby the present output cannot be
Increased. The motive behind this move
ment according to the miners, Is to make 1t
possible for the coal companies to main
and to place the miners themselves in dis
repute before the public.
Ever since the resumption of operations
in October after the five months strike the
coal company officials have been complain
ing that the miners were refusing to work
a reasonable number of hours each day,
and that as result they were unable to
meet the demands of consumers all over
the country.
After these statements had been persist
entity made President Mitchell issued let.
ter to the miners urging them to cooperate
with their employers so that the output
could be increased.
Miners Agree to Cooperate.
At meetings held throughout the region
yesterday and the day previous the miners
agreed that they would heartily cooperate
with the coal companies, although they
knew at the time that the coal companies
were not sincere in their requests.
Theophus Phillips. an officer of the
United Mine Workers, made this explana-
tion this afternoon:
Ever since the resumption of work the
coal companies have limited every miner to
four cars day. The miner, If he has the
cars. can send ten and twelve cars to the
surface With this limitation it Is obvious
that it makes no difference whether the
miner stays in the mine more than three
hours a day. because he can get his four
cars out in that time
A canvass was made today by The Star
correspondent to learn If this condition pre-
vailed at every colliery. and it was found
to be true in every instance.
An effort will be made to prove these facts
before the strike commission.

of concentrated I've into Henrys flour.
This order Brunwent is alleged to have
