by Right Divine by William Sage,
author Of The District Attorney" is a
present day romance Of love and politics.
The story deals with the struggle between
a United States senator and a young
governor for political supremacy in their
native state. and is complicated by the love
of the senator's daughter for both OF the
contestants. Senator Fordyce has held his
state in his own hands for so long that he
has come almost to believe that he has a
divine right to be its ruler, and In the ex-
ercise Of that right he employees methods
which only an ambitious man Of blunted
conscience can employ. He views, first
with amazement and then with alarm. the
increasingly successful efforts OF an honest,
clean-cut man, Governor Frank Thayer,
to put the state in decent political order.
The senator's redeeming feature Is his
strong love for his daughter. who in return
idolizes him, but gradually becomes en-
lightened as to the other side Of mis- char
acteT, and recognizes the finer and nobler
nature Of the man who loves her, but who
remains her fathers consistent opponent

BIG STRIKE
TAKES PLACE
With -Four Hundred Coal Mi.
ners at Merchants Plant
at TunneIton.


One of the greatest strikes in the
history of the Merchants Coal Com
pany of Tunnelton, Is on at the pres
ent time and there are altogether
about 400 miners and other mine
workers involved in the big strike, II
is difficult to say how long 1t may
last.
The whole trouble resulted through
wage disagreement over a proposed
reduction on the part of the coal
company to take effect on April 1.
Notices were posted at the mines
stating that on and after the first of
the month there would be a reduction
of ten per cent in the wages of en-
ployes working in and around the
mines on account OF the reduction In
the price of coal, and this created
some heated comment on the part OF
the miners.
The men held meeting and decid-
ed that they would not agree to the
reduction and they went to work as
usual and n committee of Mine
Workers Informed the operators that
they would not agree to the reduc-
ton.
The storm broke this week when
the miners appeared for their work
as usual. The mines was closed
against them and they were informed
that unless they acceeded to the de-
mand of the operators the mines
would be closed down indefinitely
They We're facing what the miners
characterized as lockout"
