West VIRGINIA MINERS
HAVE MANY HOLIDAYS

Charleston, w. Va, Dec l.---Cosl
mining prs-enss many queer problems
md one oi the queerest is the celebrstion
& ds'zens of different hsAidsys by foreign
born workers in the various sections of
West Virginia. Sometimes one Of these
celebrations, unsnnouncsd, and entirely
rnexprts-d 10y the management, draws
away enongh workers u hamper serious
~ the operation of the mines.
The difficulty comes from the varying
nati.,nalieies Of the men. At one colliery
there may le workers irun eight or TIM
countries. Esrh nationality, or religious
-ect. has its holy days" and other o.
'asiOns for celebration. A colony oJ
Hungarians, for example, cannot under
stand Why, just becan-e tiry happen to
ne in America, tqey should forsake the
practices OF their native land.
The worst part of it is that, in many
ca-es, they 10 not notify the foreman in
advance; they SEEM To take il for grant
II that everybody knows they are not
going tn work on certain days mine

almanac to keep all the foreign holidays

IL has been found impossible To bring
about any uniformity in the Observance
of these holidays. An attempt To do -
