MINERS TO ASK
SEVEN-HOUR DAY
[Continued From First Pagel


at the miners day celebration here
to-day. Such move is necessary he
said, in order to conserve the econ
omic and social welfare of members
of the miners organization and results
from the increase in the use of min
ing machines.
"Having established the eight-hour
day universally throughout the juris-
diction of our union and likewise the
mine-run system we can we'll afford
to turn our attention in the coming
wage conferences to a further reduc-
ton in the hours of labor for in my
opinion such move is necessary if we
are to conserve the economic and So
cial welfare of our vast membership"
President White declared. "This is
made almost essential because of the
increased use and introduction of ma
chimes. The records show there are
more machines used in coal mining
now than at any time in our history.
So widespread has become their use
that pick mining in many districts has
become a lost art.
There were in use in the coal mines
of the United States in 1913, 16,37S
machines producing 242,421,713 tons
of cooal. In 1914 this number was
ing 1899, 2S7 tons of COAL.
Despite the depression. that pre-
vailed in 1914, reducing the total out
put of the mines, the machines in op-
Grafton increased as these figures
show. I am therefore impressed with
the great fact that If we prepare our
movement for the Inauguration of the
cardinal reform in our coming wage
conferences we will be able to secure
it and its benefits will rebound greatly
to the advancement of our people.
This will result in an eight-hour day
from bank to bank. or a seven-hour
day on the present basis"
President White reviewed the pro-
gress made by the miners union, de-
claring that the men by their COL
lective efforts have raised themselves
practically from the condition of serf-
dom to that "of respect in the eyes of
the whole community"
Refers to Great Strikes
The persecution of our people in
some sections where our organization
has engaged in Industrial strife is
without parallel" he added. Par
ticularly do refer to the great strikes
of Colorado, West Virginia and GER
tain sections Of Pennsylvania. But the
steady entry of our movement into
these citadels of opposition is bear
ing fruit and the opposition to the
establishment of our union is gradu-
ally yielding to the enlightening in
fluences of the organization and wage
increases and reduction in hours of
labor are being accomplished in the
interest of these deserving fellow
workers"
Thousands of miners from all parts
or eastern Ohio attended the cele-
pratlon and participated in a parade
which preceded the address of Presi-
dent White. Other speakers were
William Green, international secre-
tary and treasurer of the United Mine
workers of America; John Walker.

Patrons of these concerts will be

that the hall has now more exits than

Pasquale Amato, who will give the
opening concert,sis the emperor of BARI
tones, a title conferred upon him by
common consent of critics who have
heard him. Amato made his debut as
Germont in La Traviata," and at once
has career was assured in the minds OIL
his friends. But for two years the
young artist struggled desperately to
earn living for his wife and their
first-born baby. And if you ask Amanto
he will admit there were days when he
knew what 1t was to suffer from
hunger; when only the loyalty and su
preme courage of his wife made it pos
sible for him to push on. In 1902 oppor-
tunity touched him on his shoulder ana
since then his rise has been so rapid
that to-day there is no baritone in the
world so famous as he.
Amato will be accompanied by David
Hochstein, a noted violinist, and at the
piano will be Maurice La Fargo, concert
master of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany's orchestra
Hochstein is reckoned as one of the
coming violinists of his time and his
appearance alone. those who have heard
him say, would be worth the price ask
ed for the admission.

Even the smallest of little ladies goes

For the average purse the little

be rather extravagant in price. This
is a matter of the work involved and
not because of the cost of the silk.
To make the best coats involves some
hand sewing. Even when economy
must be carefully considered the silk
coat costs little enough to be within
