OPERATORS FAIL IN PLAN TO
BREAK STRIKE IN WEST
ERN KENTUCKY.
ONLY 1PER CENT REPORT
Only One Man at Rockport Ready to
Enter Shaft-None at
Bevier. N
(By Dan Walsh, Jr.)
No. 5

Central City, KY, Aug. 2.-TheS
first day of the attempt by the oper-
ators in the coal field in and about
Muhlenberg county to break the four
months strike over wage and work
ing conditions had as little effect as
the order from the international or
ganizatiOn of the union for the men
to return to their picks. In keeping
with a promise signified by the blow
ing of whistles of the mines belong
ing to members of the Western Ken
lucky Coal Operators Association,
steam was up at all the mines this
morning and the shafts were rum
ming, but scarcely 1 per cent of the
strikers returned to work under the
conditions proposed by the owners,
approved by the Scale Committee
representing the union men, indors-
ed by the international organization.
but rejected by the district officers
and their referendum vote.
Out of 400 men needed at Graham,
KY, fourteen appeared this morning
with their cap lights and picks. At
Rockport one miner was ready to go
down in the shaft instead of the six
the day before, this mine having adj
opted the present plan of breaking
the strike. At Bevier, where the
mines are owned by the Crescent Coal
| Company, of which F. P. Wright,
Header of the Western Kentucky Coal
Operators Association, is president,
not a man offered to work. However.
the operators feel that, in view of the
ever-increasing want among the g.
900 remaining miners who depend
for a livelihood for themselves and
their families upon the work in the
mines, and the understanding that
the owners will not yield, the strik-
ers gradually will yield:
Union Leaders Obstinate.
On the other hand, the union lead
ers are just as confident that the
miners will not surrender and that
the only way the strike can be-
brought to close is for the opera
tors to sign contract covering the
demands. H. H. Vincent, secretary
treasurer of the district union, said
last night: 1--WE have been busy all
day answering telephone calls from
miners who had been told by agents
of the operators that despite our pro-
testations the district leaders would
not oppose the men going back to
work under the conditions proposed
by the owners. We have notified ev-
cry miner in the district through the
officers of the various locals that we
have not relented one whit, that the
referendum has settled the matter,
and that the miners must not go back
to work until the operators sign a
contract for the continuance of the
old scale in its entirety.-Courier-

VACCINE TO PREVENT
HAY FEVER ATTACKS

"There are few diseases which
cause more discomfort and real sur
fering than that known as hay fe-
yer. hay astlAna or rose cold" says
DIR. NJ. b. Ravenel of the Department
of Preventive Medicine of the Uni
versity of Missouri. DR.. Ravenel
SAYS the symptoms come on with
sneezing and watering of the eyes.
resembling in many ways the symp-
toms of an acute cold, though 1t is
much more prolonged and is more in
tense. Often II is accompanied by
asthma.
II has been the most difficult OF
all diseases to prevent and cure,
and II is only recently that the cause
of it has been found. 1t has now
been definitely proven that hay fe-
yer is due to the pollens of various
plants. The most common OF these
are probably golden rod timothy
grass and rag weed. The albumin
Gus portion of the pollen produces
the disease. Some people are sus-
ceptible to various pollens, while
others are not as they have either
become immunized or else they have
not the peculiar sensitiveness to the
albuminous constituents of the pol
len. The disease is periodical, COM
ing on each year, almost on the same
day.
Researches have resulted in the
discovery of a vaccine for the pre-
vention of the disease which is quite
successful. Much relief can be CIV
en- by this treatment and in the ma
jority of cases the attack can be ward
ed off. Vaccines are now on the
market usually put up in little tubes
containing the full dose with direc-
lions for injection under the skin.
II is best to bgein the treatment six or
eight weeks in advance of the time
of the expected attack. BY the use
of the vaccines, one is made immune
to the pollens of the various plants.
II is likewise essential in the pre-
yention OF hay fever, that all grass
and weeds be kept down as much
as possible.

GREAT BRITAIN FACED
DESTRUCTION IN 1915

Paris, Aug. Ion the first of

George, the British Secretary of
War, in conversation with Maurice
Barres, the French academician and
novelist, 1.-The British army had one
weeks supply of munitions and only
1000 shots in the reserve stock at
the rear. 1t had nothing more.

what would have become of us? If
the Germans had turned upon our
Soldiers the forces they then hurled
on the Russians l don't see how we
could have saved ourselves"

Guard Kills Miner.

Marion, KY, Aug. Another
fight occurred last night at Rosiclare,
ILL.,, where the miners have been on
strike for several weeks, in which
one man was killed and several 9TH
ers wounded. The trouble, it is re-
ported, began in a restaurant when
Rolly ShocNley, miner, fired a pis-
toll at big Jim" Moore, a guard
wounding him in the shoulder. Moore
then turned and shot at Shockley,
killing him instantly. A general
fight followed between the strikers
and the guards lead by Deputy Sher-
iff Basket. Tenny Taylor, a miner,
was arrested and is in serious con-
dition.

THE 1916 COTTON CROP.

The report that is current that
the acrea ye in cotton in M ississlppl
will be Increased this year Is to 20
per cent is rather discoraging. 1t
is safe assumption that what is
true in Mississippi is tue of other
cotton-growing states. Thr S. ason
has been good, the ground we'll
prepared, and w ith anything like a
good crop year. sush an increase
will produce the biggest cotton
crop on recold which. according to
past experience. will really mean
disaster. Every thing is UNCERTAIN.
There is no prospect of an early
termination of the war and if The
South raises cotton expecting to
buy fo, d stuff for both man and
beast With it. both are apt to go
hungry. 1t cost more to raise a
hig cotton crop. it cost more 10
harvest bic cotton crop, and a
Dig cotton crop sells for less money
than the small cotton crop Then
why cannot the southern farmers
see the folly of increasing the cot
ton acreage. The wise Gotten
planter will give more attention to
to home preparedness in the way OF
the smokeht use, corn-crib and the
hay barn. When you have made
plenty of provisions for living at
home. then you may make all the
cotton you can and yon will not
make too much. Greenwood Ea-
terprise.

COTTON ACRE
AGE.

The Greenville Democrat says:-
The repcrts"from the boil weevil
section of the state, generally. in
dicate large increase in cotton acre.
sge compared with any year since
the boil wevii infestation made
cotton production extra hazardous.
The Woodville Republican, IN
apeaklng especially of Wilkerson
county, which has suffered severly
from the boil wevil during the past
eight years, says;
The acreage planted in cotton in
this county this season i'll unques-
tionably by far the largest for many
years past. Farm ers who had not
planted this crop since the boil
wevil first appeared now have large
acreage. One farmer has four hun
dred acres while numbers of others
have planted such acreage as can
be conveniently handled. Be it
said, however. in justice to our
fal mers, that they are making this
crop on a short crop and low price
basis, SO i'll the event Of failure they
will not suffer the financial loss
that the report of the planting of
such large crop might indicate.

county, one to traverse each judi
diclal district. The total length of
both lines will be nearly 100 miles.
For the purpose of providing
funds to consummate the work, the

dNo0,0 600, notice of their iuten-
ton appearing elsewhere in this
issue. The matter will come up
