COAL MINERS TO DEMAND
SEVEN-H0UR WORKING DAY
PRESIDENT WHITE SUGGESTS THIS
IN MINERS DAY ADDRESS.
Says Such Move Is Necessary to Con-
serve the Economic and Social We'll
fare of the Men Who Dig Coal

Demands for a seven hour day will be
made by coal miners OF the country at
coming wage conferences, according to
John P, White, president of the United
Mine Workers OF America. speaking at
the Miners Day celebration held last
week in Bellairc, Ohio. Such a move is
necessary, he said. in order to conserve
the economic and social welfare of mem
bers of the miners organization and re-
suits from the increase in the use of
mining machines.
President White reviewed the progress
made by the miners union, declaring
that the men by their collective efforts
have raised themselves practically from
the condition of serfdom TO that "of
respect in the eyes of the whole com.
munity."
The persecution of our people in some
sections where our organization has en-,
gagged in Industrial strife is without par
allel." he added. Particularly do ]
refer to the great strikes of Colorado
West Virginia and certain sections OF
Pennsylvania. But the steady entry OF
our movement into these citadels of op.
position is bearing fruit and the opposi.
tion to the establishment of our union
is gradually yielding to the enlightening
influences of the organization and wage
increases and reduction in hours of Ia.
hor are being accomplished in the inter.
est of these deserving fellow workers.
Thousands of miners from all parts OF
eastern Ohio attended the celebration
and participated in parade which pre-

BRYAN ENTHUSES $4,000 IN
HIS SPEECH AT AUDITORIUM
81 Can Speak for Wilson With Greater Conviction Than
Ever Could for Myself, Declares the Commoner
Tells of Promises That Were Fulfilled

Inspired by an audience of 1900
enthusiastic adherents of President VIII
son, in the place where he received one
OF his three nominations for the office,
William Jennings Bryan last Saturday
night delivered what he himself declared
to be one OF the best political speeches
OF his twenty years career as national
leader. Notwithstanding a cold rain this
great throng assembled in the city Audi
torium at 1880 p. m, and gave a mighty
shout as the champion OF the common
people entered the building from Champa
street in an automobile and rode direct
to the speakers platform. He was in
troduced to the audience by Judge Sam
uel n. Wheeler OF Grand junction, can
didate for the supreme court. Owing to
the fact that he was compelled to catch
a train at $3.50, Mr.. Bryan crowded a
twO-hOur speech into an hour and fif-
teen minutes.
Mr.. Bryan said he always felt at home
in Colorado because this state had three
times given him its electoral vote when
a candidate for president.
Asks Support for Hilia1d.
Mr. Bryan declared that the record of
performance OF the Democratic party
surpasses all the promises ever made
ing argument for the election of Wood
row Wilson than he ever made in be-
half OF himself. He reminded his hear
ers that every word he said in behalf
OF the president should be considered
as said also in behalf of the election of

eeed himself as congressman from Den

asserted Mr.. Bryan.
On the subject of prohibition he called
the attention of his audience to the fact
that ~of the nineteen dry states ten
always go Democratic"
But | am anxious" he declared. that
We have a Democratic governor of Colo
radn. to help in the Democratie party's
fight on that great moral issue
Asks Suffrage Vote.
Then he touched upon the woman's
suffrage question from several stand
points to give Democrats arguments to
meet the attempts made by the Wom-
ans party to lead Democratic women
from out the party fold. If suffrage
is to be made a partisan question at all,
he declared, the best hope OF the women
is with the Democratic party

urged the substitution OF the philosophy

philosophy of Plate
National questions were divided by
Mr.. Bryan into two supreme issues. One
OF these, he said. is whether the Amer

government control back to the reaction

President Wilson has shown a broad
and deep sympathy for his fellow man.
He is human. He talks less of markets
than of men. Trade and industry are
not his first concern. With Hughes, we
hear about the tariff, about business,
about the strict rules of law, about an
inundation of foreign goods. In short,
about money and his desire to save the
country by being elected president.
Few men in high places have ever been
moved by such sympathies as Wilson,
and at the same time had the wide Wis

ment to know what could be accom-
plished
