Operators Fail to Abide by Decision of
 Umpire Wright.


 Scranton, Pa, July 28,-There is grave fear that the executive board of dis .trict No. l, United Mine Workers, will order a strike, involving approximately .75,O0O men when 1t meeting is special session next Monday to consider the question of the refusal of the coal com panies to deduct check weighmen's wages.
 The fear of a strike is heightened by the action of the Scranton Coal com- #pany to-day in failing to make the de- ductions when paying at several of it's |collieries. The Scranton Coal company agreed to make the deductions after Umpire Carroll D. Wright, in a letter ito District President Nichols, advised that the deduction should be made.

KAUFMAN, Philip Harrington,
inventor and manufacturer was born
in StrA> burg near Chambersburg,
w., Fs.b. IS, 1922, son Of David and
:, usan O]arrlugton) Lauflnan Hi
grandfather Philip Laufman, was the
drummer who beat the tattoo at York
town VIII n ornWallis surrendered.
His father was an iron manufacturer
and partner Of Thomas Chambers who
built the Southampton furnaces near
Chambersburg in 1880. Young Lauf-
man was educated in the district
schools and Academy at Chambers
burg. He was engaged in the hard
ware business until 1876, then he
bought the Apollo rolling mills at
Apollo, Pa, and begun the nlanufac-
ture of cold lied sheet iron and steel
under the style of P. H. Laufman &
Co. Mr.. Lauf1nan has manufactured
the largest tin plate sheets in the
world, size 3ox84, at a cost OF ST. SO
per box less than the foreign plates.
In 1921 he was engaged IN estab-
fishing the tin plate industry to COM
pete with British manufacturers, and
to him is due the credit for the pro-
portions to which this has grown in
the United States. He was the in
ventor and manufacturer Of high class
electro magnetic steel sheets, used in
dynamos and transformers, the pro-
cess of which is kept secret. These
are used by the Edison and Westing
house companies. In the adoption
and invention of new methods Mr.
Laufnan has been the pioneer, and
after spening nearly 70 years in the
iron business in all it's branches, he
retired April I, 1900. The business

was then merged in the new American
Steel Sheet Co., under the direct con-
troll of the consolidated interests OF
the sheet manufacturers of the United
States. He was a member OF the
board of education; the select council
of Pittsburg; of the board of water
commissioners, building the water
works of Pittsburg; also a member,
and class leader of the Methodist
church. On Jan. IS4S, he was mar
Ted to Mary Ann, daughter of Philip
Berlin, of Chambersburg, who inven-
ted the first sleeping car in the world.
AS manager Of the Cumberland Valley
railroad, in 1888, he built special
cars with three shelves, two feet wide,
on each side, made to fold up against
the sides during the day. They have
had eight children, six daughters and
two sons.
The above sketch of the life of Mr..
Laufman is taken from Vol. XII of the
National cyclopedia of American BIZ
ography. He has lead an interesting
life, and is prominently numbered
among the founders, builders, and de-
tenders of the Republic, and who are
doing the work and moulding the
thought of the present time. And al
though he is quoted as being on the
retired list, he is now engaged in de-
veloping the wonderful resources of
North Carolina-Moore County, es-
pecially.
To the left is a picture of "Berlin
Place" his North Carolina home, and
Southern Pines is glad to have him
as a citizen.

VEGETARIAN SWIMMERS.


They Triumph Over Meat Eaters I'm
Canadian Contest.
In long-distance swimming race
recently across Toronto Bay from the
Yonge street wharf to the swimming
club, ON the island lagoon, says the
Toronto Star, there was fought a bat
tie between vegetarians and meat eat
ers. The course was about two miles
In length and H. F. Strickland, Of To
ronto, q vegetarian, made the journey
in the record time Of fifty minutes.
George 81. Corson, another vegetarian,
made the course in ffty-two minutes.
Two Engl1shmen had come over to
swim In the race-sturdy beef eaters
from the land Of roast beef-but they
found the pace too fast and dropped
out midway on the course. 1t was a
handicap contest, but in actual time
vegetarianism scored a decisive VIC
tory.
The race was not announced as a
contest between vegetarianS and meat
eaters, but Messrs, Strickland and
Corson resolved to give 1t that turn.
They entered. Like others they train
ed. On the day Of the race their sole
diet was pea butter. The last week
they reduced their ordinary vegetarian
diet to s1mples, such as pea butter,
peanuts and raw fruit. Before setting
out In the race they informed the as
tonished meat-fed Englishmen, who
were supposed to be the best men In
the contest, that they were vegetar'
ians, had eaten no meat for years and
intended to prove the superiority Of
their diet
They did it. As they glided through
the waves they were borne up by the
consciousness that they were vindicat
ing vegetarianism To others 1t was
a race for glory; to Messrs. Strickland
and Corson 1t was an opportunity Of
showing a meat-fed world the error o.
its ways. They were men with a mis-
sion. A great cause relied on them
and inspired, fired by this knowledge
they slipped through the water will
ease and made. their meat-laden com
petitors look like stationary objects.
A long swim IL one Of the ssveres
physical tests to which a can can b.
put and in order to settle conclusivel!
the respective merits of pea butter an'
beefsteak another race, specially ar
ranged for the purpose, should h
brought about, two men a side, over
two-mile course, 1t would draw
large crowd of butchers and marke
gardeners to cheer their respectv
champions.

Marion can't worry along on that and
your salary you don't deserve to get

THERE, NEVER MIND"

Years have passed, but still / hear them
Mothers words, "There, never mind.
Time serves only to endear them
To me as 1t hies, and.
Mothers gone, but still often
Find myself, when troubles nigh,
Half expecting her to soften
Il as In the days gone by.
Years, but still zee her rocking.
Holding me upon her breast,
Both her, arms about me locking,
Setting all my fears at rest.
Years, but still hear her telling
Ne In voice 90 low and kind,
While my Gears are swiftly yelling,
Soothing like, There, never mind"
All my boyiSh troubles vanished
When she spoke those words to mo.
Ali my tears were quickly banished,
Soon Numbered peacefully.
Oft l wish when woes beset me,
And grim worries now l find,
That old Father Time would let me
Hear her say, There, never mind"

The Wit of Marion

60 HE institution was too new to
Scarcrest to be treated with
x aught save reverence and awe.
but there was more than one who
dared suggest that David Prescott had
erred In making his daughter Marion
his paying teller. Not that Marion was
mot suited to the place, but that even
scarcrest knew that q woman teller
was unusual.
Comment did not worry Prescott
His holdings in the bank amounted 10
more than 80 per cent Of the capitai
Invested, and at the directors meeting
he had offered to make another cnoace
af the board could suggest any one bet
tier oualtfed through acquaintance or
axperience at figures. That settled the
matter oficially, and when the ap1ck
and span new Office opened 1t was Ma

tered Paying Teller"
Bert Howard was the receiving tel
Her. and this was further cause Tor
gossip. for Bert had been a willing
alave to Marion ever since the days
when he used to drag her to school on
his sled.
MANY comments had been made In
the postofice and around the stove In
Van Zant's grocery, but after Ned la
Wis had been soundly thrashed BY How
ard for suggesting that II the pair On
SELLERS held their positions long enough
khev would have no trouble starting
Aife nroperIy, there was an abrupt ces'
feation of this sort Of gossip, and the
El.0n,v oe7cors were accepted without
further comment.
Rut IT was not pleasant sailing FOL
Bert and Marion. He mad Deen given
his position, not because Prescott ap'
y,rovnH NJ his suit for Marion's hand
Sut hacause. like Marion, he had been
khe most available person for the po'
alton. Prescott, In his hard deep
T1i+rbed voice had assured the young
Sran that If he ever caught glimpse
of loye-making in business hours tnefe
would be an imported teller IN the DAM

country house. She left instructions
that when the entertainer arrived he
was to dine with the servants. The
butler, who knew better, apologized,

he, IF we are all finished and if you
are all agreeable, l shall be pleased to

The servants cheered. The piano
was dispensed with and he amused
them for half al hour without it.
At ten o'clock a message was sent
to him. Would Mr.. - kindly come
up into the drawing room?" He went.
The company in the drawing room
were waiting, seated.
