ROAD PAYS $3.50 FOR
PASSENGERS KISSES

Little Rock, Ark, March An Ar
kansas woman is justified in inflicting
corporal punishment upon male fiirt
who annOys her, the state supreme
court ruled today in affirming the $3.50
damages which a lower court had
awarded to Mrs. Nettie Trussell of Hot
Springs, a school teacher, against the
Memphis Dallas and Gulf railroad.
According to the testimony a male
passenger on train of the defendant
railroad stood in the center of the car
in which Mrs. Trussell was riding and
winked and threw kisses at her. When
he approached her Mrs. Trussell broke
her umbrella over his head. The sI-
preme court in its opinion today ruled
that not only was Mrs. Trussell justi-
fed in her action, but was entitled TO
recover damages for the annoyance and
humiliation to which she was sub
ieCted

MINERS GRANTED
WAGE increase
Action of Operators it is Believed Will
Cost Them 100000 Annually
in Production.

New York, March miners Of the
bituminous coal fields of the middle
west today are elated over the grant,
ing of increases in wages estimated al
about $S,000,000 year. To what ex-
tent the public will figure in the high
cost of producing coal it is too early
to say. 1t is known, however, that the
United States Steel corporation, which
takes considerable amount of the
tonnage of the Pittsburgh Coal COM
pany, the largest soft coal company in
the country, will pay the advance on
the coal it purchased from that con-
Germ, as it has a contract pledging to
pay whatever increase the Pittsburgh
company has to give to labor Other
companies, it is said, have similar
contracts.
If adopted, the new wage scale will
go into effect April /. The increase in
pay ranges from to 539 cents a ton
for piece work. An advance OF five
per cent in wages paid by the day or
on dead work and yardage is rec,
commended by the subcommittee.
The new scale in Illinois is, machine
work "a cents; pick GA cents.
The miners demands for an eight,
hour day, weekly payday and an idle
day every other Saturday were not
approved by the subcommittee.
