virtually the same as that recently
received by the 225.ooo workers in the
bituminous fields The agreement re-
mains in effect until April 1. 1918.
The miners asked for higher wages
to meet the rising cost of living and
the operators granted the increase.
"It is distinctly understood, the
agreement reads in part, that, because
of the situation resulting from the war
and the needs of the nation In the
matter of fuel supply, there shall be
no unnecessary shutdown and that en-
ployes shall give that full cooperation
necessary to maintain the production
Of the mines at their fullest capacity"
Like the bituminous settlement ne
gotiated last week. said a statement
by John P. White, president of the
anthracite negotiations most forcibly
emphasizes the wisdom of collective
bargaining in the time OF peace and
war.
Il feel confident that the agreement
reached will alleviate the skyrocketing
cost of food and clothing products suf-
ffciently to tide the mine workers of
the anthracite fields over an unprece-
dented crisis.
THE signing of the anthracite agree
ment, following the bituminous settle
ment, insures Industrial peace in the
basic industry of the nation, all of
which has been accomplished without
threat, suspension of work, strikes or
interference from any outside source
other than the recognized councils for
wage adjustments provided for in the
joint wage agreement"

Violation Of Constitution.


Violation Of Constitution.
"The censorship proposed is believed
to be a violation of the Constitution Of
the United States. which prohibits Con-
gress from tabridging the freedom Of
speech or Of the press An effort to sus-
pend this constitutional guarantee, wheth-
er ultimately sustained or not. is sure to
be followed by grave injury to the rights
of the people. whose one great safeguard
in time of war Is an untrammeled press.
"A voluntary censorship, suggested by
the government, is being carefully observ-
ed by the newspapers Of the United
States and no loyal newspaper will know
ingly print that which would give aid to
the enemy. Any newspaper that willfully
publishes information OF military value to
the enemy can, and should be. prosecuted
under the law OF treason.

''If you want to get action, join the marines"
 Maxwell J. Lyons, son of Joe Lyons, president of the Southwestern Supply Company, wanted action. and he heed ed the call of the bill board for re- cruits for that branch of the service and Is now in the training school for embryo marines at Port Royal, s. C.
 Maxwell Lyons heard the call when war was first declared and offerad himself for the first officers training school. Being short of stature, long on heft and immature in years. the of ficers declined to accept the offer of his services thereby lost an opportnn- ity to enroll a young man who desired to serve his country as a fighter The ! officers told him to wait until the next call, for by that time he would be bit older.
 Next Maxwell tried the National Guard and was rejected. In the mean time he had reached the draft age, and was offered place in the quartermas- ters department, but this did not ap- peal to young Lyons, he wanted to go where there is fighting, and not where sacks of beans were checked in.
 To get fighting, and to be sure that he would be in tho thick of it. Max we'll then tried the marine recruiting office. He was looked over by the recruiting officer and accepted He was examined by the physician and passed. Being short of stature, anu apparently excessive in weight, a mes sage was sent to Washington to ap- prove the enlistment. To the keen disappointment of young Lyons an un- favorable reply was received
 eff I go to Washington and see the chief recruiting officer do you think I will get by?" Maxwell asked in his desperation.
 'You are a perfect specimen of phy- sical manhood and you have the edu- cation to make a model soldier" was the reply, we need such men as you That afternoon Maxwell Lyons ac- companied Congressman H.

 Food makes the most direct war contribution, apart from inen-one that touches every home every day.

 If the holder of War-Savings Ger tificate finds it necessary to realize cash on it before maturity, he may at any time after January 2, 1918, upcn giving 10 days written notice to any money-order post office, receive for each stamp affixed to his certificate the amount paid therefor plus 1 cent for each calendar month after the month of purchase of each stamp. A registered certificate may be redeeni- ed, however, only at the post office where registered.
 In other words, the plan is simple, straightforward, and certain The holder of the certificates can not lose and is certain to gain. He Is buying the safest security in the world in the most convenient form in which the security of a great Government has ever been offered to it's people.
 Why You Should Buy Them..-The main reason for the purchase of War Savings Stamps is because your coun- .r 7t1 every penny which every man, wom- an, and child can save and lend, in order to feed, clothe, arm, and equip the soldiers and sailors of America and to win this righteous war in de- fense of American honor and the cause of democracy throughout the world.
 If we are to win the war, we must win it as a united people. The say ings of every man, woman, and child are necessary if we are to hasten the victorious ending of the war War Savers are Life Savers.

BUY STAMPS
 FOR WAR SAVING
EVERY PERSON CAN SAVE 25 CENTS A WEEK TO LEND TO GOVERNMENT, WHICH WILL
 RAISE MILLIONS FOR WAR.

In offering War Savings Stamps" to the public the United States Gov ernment has made immediately avail able for every man, woman and child in the country a profitable. simple, and secure investment.
 What They e.--War-Savings Stamps are the answer of a great de- mocracy to the demand for a demo- cratic form of government security. They are little baby bonds" Like Iiberty bonds, they have behind them the entire resources Of the Govern ment and people of the United States. They have the additional advantage that they steadily increase in value from the date of purchase until the date of maturity. and this increase is guaranteed by the Government. These stamps are issued in two denomina- tions, the 25-cent stamp and the $5 stamp
 For the convenience of investors a Thrift Card is furnished to all pur- chasers of 25-eent stamps. This card has spaces for Is stamps. When all the spaces have been filled the Thrift Card may be exchanged for S5 stamp at post offices, banks, or other authorized agencies by adding 1G cents in cash prior to February l, 1918, and 1 cent additional each month thereafter.
 Those who prefer may buy a S5 stamp outright These will be on sale from December 3, 1917, until January 31, 1918, for $412. They automatical- ly increase in value a cent a month every month thereafter until January 1, 1923 when the United States will pay S5 at any post office or at the Treasury in Washington for each stamp affixed to a WarSavings Ger tificate.
 When you purchase S5 stamp, you must attach it to an engraved folder known as a ''War-Savings Certificate" which bears the name of the purchas- CT and can be cashed only by the per son whose name appears upon the certificate, except in case of death CT disability. This certificate contains 20 spaces. If these are all filed with War Savings Stamps between Decenl. Der 3, 1917, and January S1, 1918, the cost to the purchaser will be $S2.40, and on January 1, 1928, the Govern ment will pay the owner Of the certl- ficatc $100-a net profit to the holder of SLIGO This is based on an inter-
