Mine Run Demand

ACTION OF INDIANAPOLIS CON-

JEcTED AT MOBILE TODAY

MOBILE, Ala, Feb. 9.-The de.
mands formulated by the United Mine
Workers of America at their recent
convention at Indianapolis were today
formally rejected as whole by the
operators Of the central comparative
bitumonous coal fields. A joint con-
ference Of employers and employees
at once took up for consideration the
IL demands. This is the usual for
mality.
The first demand taken up provides
that all coal be weighed before screen
ed and that 1t be- paid for on mine
run basis and is one Of most import
ant presented.
President John P. White, of the un.
ion urged the adoption Of this re-
quest on the ground that 1t Is the only
equitable basis for the payment of
what the miner produces.
The mine run demand was opposed
by G.. E. Maurer, OF Cleveland, and

Mr.. ,Maurer said it operated dlsad.

Schluderberg suggested that mine run
demand was~not question for settle.
'ment by interstate conference, but was
one for adjustment by the states them
selves.
His suggestion was not agreed to by
the elminers, who pointed out that. mine
run was nearly always figured in inter-
state agreements:
Mr.. schluederberg was Of the opin-
ion that mine run basis in Western
Pennsylvania operated not only against
employers, but wasSa disadvantage to

of the department of philosophy at
New York university, all because the
other day. Prof. Shaw said:
81 have never seen a woman to
whom friendship is possible.
81 never hope to see such phe-
nomenon. A woman is a sweet
heart, which is better than a friend
but different. Two men can be
friends, but two women. cannot"
Some women have been as agitat-
ed about this as if the professor had
said something quite new. But he
hasn't. That women attract men
like the opposite poles of a magnet
and that women repel women as do
the like" poles is a very ancient
theory.
It amuses and delights man as
often as it is revived. It assures him,
somehow, of his place at the center
of things. But perhaps he wouldn't
feel quite so. secure there were he to
anaIyze the cause of wOmen's anti
pathies and attractions.
Woman has a small capacity for
friendship BECAUSE man has educat-
ed her to care more about love. He
is much attached to the idea that
MANS love is of mans life a thing
apart, tits woman's whole existence"
Man, through his friendships with
other men, builds up his honor, rep
utation and success. But woman aC-
uuires these gIories only as a mirror
acquires a shadow-she reflects her
husbands state, and she accepts her
husbands friend as impersonalIy as
she would the ghost of Hamlet Man
has educated her that way, also.
There is a fine theory that a wom-
an makes out her own visiting list.
In practice it must be passed by her
domestic. censor. He cuts out a
friend, old or new, male or female,
according to bis own generosity or

years Vanishes over night; but if his
own chum happens to marry his
Wife's worst enemy he ridicules the
feud as an example Of Woman's in
capacity for friendship-which the
wife Immediately disproves by enter
ing into the conventional social re-
latiOns. r-.1-
Thus the married woman is robbed
of the friends she Graves and thrust
into company she does not desire.
Unmarried women, as soon as
youth and beauty have passed, Usu-
ally haven't enough men friends to
worry about-which reflects some-
what on mems valuations of women. =
So matrons and spinsters waste
their time in the exchange Of social
ceremonies, or bore each other with
their rival philanthropies. And it's
no wonder at all that under such
conditions women get very tired of
each other and give clever men
chance to say sharp things about
them.
He who would have a friend must

been that to a woman. He has al

different" relation Of sweetheart
which Prof. Shaw admits is better
than that of friend.
The feminists think differently,
and their creed is no dying one, al
though it occasionally misses a COL
lege professor. Lately the feminists
have been setting up difficult new
standards of ideal human relation
ships.
They preach that a man is value
less as lover, that he is a failure as
a spouse, unless he is a friend before
he is a sweetheart and forever after
he is a husband. %
BY this test they imperiI mans
