Miners Will Get

Miners Blown
To Death

At Jed, a half mile from Welsh. w.
Va, 81 men were blown to death in
the mine of the Jed Coal & Coke COM
pany, and but few of the bodies have
been recovered.
The mine was non-union, the men
having absolutely no protection, and
being unable to protest against the
dangerous conditions under which
they were compelled to work.
The explosion was caused by mine
dust This had gathered since the
last inspection by the state mine in
spector, and the company would not
remove it because it cost money to
hire men to do the work Thus for
the saving of few dollars to the
company. nearly a hundred widows
and two hundred orphans have been
made.

started out to interview the heads
of Wheeling's educational institu-

Brother Leopold, Of the Cathedral
High School, acting in place OF
Brother Eugene, who is i'll, received
them warmly and expressed himself
as inclined to favor the plan. The
principal in charge of the Linsly In

In an unofficial communication to
the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly Sunday. the Building
Trades Council of Wheeling and vi
cinity announced that every union
man would leave the Market Audi
t0rium building when non-union men
are put to work.
This means that when the w w.
Wood company, a concern that is de-
clared Unfair to Labor, puts nom
union carpenters to work, all the
other craftsmen employed on the
work who belong to the unions will
Quit. This condition is rapidly being
brought about by the promoters of
the Market Auditorium who refuse
to listen to reason.

know that some of those designs can be

and apply to the white by means of row

spots are then worked on the linen, and
a narrow lace edging Is sewed around the
linen, which Is then laid in narrow pleats

Uses of Charcoal.

If housewives knew the value of char
coal in the home they would never be
without a supply. It should not only be
kept in cupboards and wardrobes to col
lect the dampness. but also in the refrig-
orator, where 1t will keep a sanitary con-
dition and absorb any food odors.
Here it should be renewed weekly in
order that its efficiency be preserved. The
discarded charcoal need not be thrown
away after used for this purpose, as 1t Is
still good for fuel use.
Powdered charcoal mixed with salt Is
excellent for the cleaning Of the teeth
or verdigris from copper utensils.
