MANY MINERS QUIT WORK
QUARTER OF A MILLION OF THEM
DROP THEIR PICKS.
Men Await Wage Agreement-Pres
dent Lewis Trying to Revive
the Unit Rule.

Indianapolis, Ind.--Two hundred and
fifty thousand picks dropped from the
hands OF as many bituminous coal
miners Of tho United States Tuesday
evening, not to b. used again until
a wage settlement has been reached
and scale adopted between the men,
bers of the United Mine Workers Of
America and the coal operators Of the
various fields. -'' vi j
The situation. however, does not
indicate prolonged strike. An open
winter and industrial depression have
left large stock Of coal on hand and
the differences between miners and
operators are very slight. 1t is prac-
tically agreed that the present wage
scale will be continued. but some poll
tics in connection with the change
in the national officers Of the miners
organization, and local differences be-
tween operators and miners have re-.
suited in temporary suspension from
work until q new wage scale Is agreed
to, either by districts or individual
mines. =,
Until two years ago the bituminous
coal mining wage of the country was
based upon the agreement reached In
the central competitive field consisting
of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and western
Pennsylvania and considered as a
unit. This unit system was broken
two years ago when President Mitchell
signed a scale with Pittsburg opera.
tors who agreed to pay the scale de-
manded after operators of the other
three states had refused and the min
ers won their fight in consequence.
President Lewis, who has succeeded
President Mitchell. is endeavoring to
revive the interstate unit rule. In the
meantime district joint meetings are
being held in the various states.
Indianapolis, Ind.-The first official
act of President T. L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers Of America in
assuming his Office Wednesday was
to send telegraphic invitations to the
principal operators of the central com.
petitive field, consisting of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi.
nois, to attend meeting in this city
Monday, April 6, with representatives
of the miners to make an effort to
agree upon call for an interstate
wage convention and II necessary to
decide upon general resumption OF
mining operations in the field.

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Magic-UsefuI, Too.

Anything In the nature Of chem.
ical experiment Is always Interesting
and usually educative. Here Is sim.
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which Is instructive In a
very practical way: Get a bit Of White
Lead about the size Of pea. a piece
of charcoal, a common candle IN a
candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop
out q little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead. then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead In
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other, with the large end Of the blow.
pipe between the lips; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and II
the White Lead is pure 1t will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
globules Of metallic lead, under the
intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving
no residue.
If, however, the White Lead is adul.
terated in the slightest degree, it wiz
not wholly change into lead. So, 1t
will be seen, that this experiment Is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also Of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint Is the
kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar.
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter" trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow.pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity Of paint be-
fore using 1t, they will send free a
blow-pipe and valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address Ma

WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer
chants Of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris.
Ing western city. The plan in brief
is, instead Of attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit of the whole commu-
nifty, to organize clubs in different 10.
calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections, without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For in
stance, club is organized in a
single block, and merchants on each
side of the street are persuaded to
join. If it is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is had 70 see how it can
be done, how much it will cost and
what it is worth. The plan has worked
SO successfully that organizations are
springing up all over the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting certain restricted territory.
It is much easier to secure co-opera
ton between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200, and the influence of the
few spreads in widening circle

Two Cities and Three Towns Are
Completely Destroyed.

City of Mexico Two cities and
three villages completely destroyed,
and a number of villages and towns
badly damaged is the result OF
the earthquake throughout the Mex

Estimates of the dead vary. 1t Is
known that between 200 and 300 per-

At Chilpancingo reports say only a
few lives were lost and that aid has
been sent from there to Chilapa.
In the villages SO far as heard from
