about the thinning of the thatch,"
with casual references to doorknobs
and billiard balls, much to the
amusement of the passengers, but

The talk finally developed into an
argument on the cause of badness,
and after considerable popularity
the pair turned to the pearly pated
stranger, and one said;
"My friend and have been dis.
cussing the cause of badness. but
we can't seem to agree. Would you
mind telling us what you regard as
tho real cause of badness ?"

his questioners heroely and snorted;

Cold Blood.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
PEORIA, H., Feb. 1S.-Declaring
that the mine owners in the West
Virginia coal strike fields had muir
dered men in cold blood, President
John Walker of the United Mine
Workers of Illinois, appealed to the
state convention for financial assist
ance for the strikers The executive
committee has already sent $500, all
that the constitution allows, but Walk
err urged that the locals contribute ad-
ditional funds.
Every conceivable influence has
been used by the coal barons to crush
that strike" said Walker. They
have murdered men in cold blood,
outraged women, beaten children: all
because the men have asked for a
living wage
! Walker also assailed the "sticker"
system by which the miners draw
wages in advance and are compelled
to pay ten per cent for the accom-
mediation
Duncan Mcdonald, secretary and
treasurer, has prepared plan for a
social state arbitration board to set
tie differences between miners and
operators. A bill containing this pro.
vision will be presented to the legis-
| lature.
