Four Years of Anthracite Peace.

(From the Philadelphia Ledger)
 An increase of about ten per cent. in the wages of the anthracite min CTS will. as in all similar increases made in the past, be borne by the consumers who buy coal The Oper- ators found it impossible in this day of generally advancing pay for WOrk- CTS in all industrial fields to deny an increase to the miners. But they did refuse very properly to declare their mines to be a "closed shop" against all but members of la Dor unions. That is one distinct gain for all the people of the United States. The theory of the closed shop" has no place in free Am erica. And another thing the op- orators very justly refused to do is to act as a collecting agency for a labor organization. Such a system would be a species of tyranny over independent workmen to which no employer should ever lend his SUD- port.
 Perhaps the most satisfactory of al! the elements in this anthracite settle ment is the agreement which will last for four years. That means that until spring of 1920 there will be no more threats of a general tieup of the hard-coal supply. Taking from s1O,- O00,000 to SIP: 100000 from the pur- chasers of anthracite to put into the pay envelopes of 175, 900 miners and mlne 'labOrers may seem rough on the consumer, but wages in all the large industries have advanced. and ln every instance the consumer foots the DILL Who else, indeed, is there

have gotten here from the north at

come in until after l O'Clock this aft

not follow its usual course, over the
Sioux Falls cutoff, but detoured by
the way of Egan. Owing to the eX-

on the Pacific coast line of the Mil

Der of stamps purchased. ii is shown.
Added to the $156.66 sen TO head

that will be forwarded by Mrs. Della

sale of stamps by pupils in rural
schools, bringing the total collections
in Lake county up TO S231.66-an
average of a fraction less than two
stamps per person.
Miss M. A. Winters, Red Cross
nurse, considers the per capita show
ing in both county and city an ex-
cellent one, especially in view of the
fact that the venture here is a new
one and that most of those who pur-
chased stamps therefore did not know
the benefits to be derived through
their patronage.

ACCUSED OF Crime
LOCAL MAN, FOR WHOM WAR
RANT is ISSUED. CANNOT
BE LOCATED.

Alleged to have stolen wheat val
ued at $48 from freight airs in the
Milwaukee railway yards here, Will
lam Sandman, a well known resident
of Lake county, is a fugitive from
justice.
According to a complaint. charging
grand larceny, filed by Detective
Sheehan, of the railway company
Sandman broke carseals-a felony In
itself-and removed a wagon load OF
grain, which he is said to have sold
to a local grain buyer. The alleged
crime was committed last Tuesday
night or early Wednesday morning
The fact that Sandman was suspected
Of having taken the wheat was r
mored on the streets as early as Wed
nesday noon, but it was said he had
made restitution and that the matter
would probably be hushed up without
having it called to the attention OF
the authorities.
A warrant for Sandman's arrest
was issued yesterday by States Attor-
ney II. III. Holdridge, and given tc
Sheriff f. w. Butts for execution
The sheriff and his deputies so far
have been unable to locate the man
although he was in the city the day
before that on which the warrant was
issued.
Prior to moving to the city las
spring, Sandman ran a farm a few
miles southeast OF here. During tht
summer and early winter he lived
with his wife In the basement of the
county courthouse, and he worked
here as a laborer.
