MINERS WANT A FAIR SHARE.
"Haven't Had 1t, According to Opera
tors Figures,v Says Mitchell

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6. - John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, was here yester.
day as vice president of the American
Federation of Labor to join in settling
dispute between typesetters and
printers.
The convention of anthracite miners
to draft new demands for presentation
to the coal companies on the expira
ton of the strike commissions award
on April / next will he held in Shame
kin between Dee. and 10.
Il can only repeat" said Mr.. Mitch.
ell that it is my firm conviction that
lasting peace in the hard coal fields
can only be had through the recogni
ton of the union and an eight hour
workday."
Mr.. Mitchell was asked about the
claim that his demands, if granted,
would mean an advance of 80 cents a
ton to consumers of coal He said.
Taking the figures of experts, the
companies collected $30,000000 extra
from consumers after the award of the
strike commission. and they have never
pretended the miners got more than
$16,000000 as their share. 1t seems to
me that the mine workers on the
operators own showing have not re-
ceived their full share of the increased
DroSDority

White leather belts and shoes are

ly getting dirty, and, like everything
else white, they must be irreproach-
ably white to be acceptable. Gasoline
cleans them more easily than anything
else-belts regularly washed in it, or
rubbed with a cloth wet in gasoline,
and shoes cleaned by the latest method.
II you use the purified gasoline, that
unpleasant odor about cleaned things,
often noticeable when they've been
most carefully aired, will be avoided.
And be careful about the use OF gaso-

repeated-don't rub too briskly, or the
friction will result in an explosion, nor
in a room where there is an artificial
light or a fire.
