.WORKMEN WIN THEIR POINT
Southwestern Coal Miners and Opera
tors Reach Agreement and Sign
Wage Scale Contract.

Kansas City, Oct. 24.-Coal miners
and coal operators in the Southwest
ern district, composed of Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas,
came to an agreement on their wage
scale last night after two weeks of ne
gotiations here and signed new con-
tracts. The miners will go back to
work Immediately, pending approval
u the contract signed, by the fuel ad-
mi%nistration. The new contract Pro
vides for a wage increase of from so
to 80 cents a ton for coal mined and a
modification Of the penalty clause.
The clause in the contract providing
for the automatic collection Of penal
ties, which has been the stumbling
block throughout the entire negotia-
tons, was compromised by both sides
adopting a clause providing for an i'm
mediate hearing, in case of shutdown,
before the automatic penalty shall ac-
crue, the hearing to be held within
twenty days. According to w L. A.
Johnson, general commissioner of the
Southwestern Operators Association,
this cures the evil complained of by
the operators and is satisfactory to the
miners.
John Wilkinson, president of the
United Mine Workers in district No.
q. said he was well satisfied with the
agreement and contract and was going
home to see that it was enforced. Mr.,
Wilkinson left for McAlester, Ok, last
night to call a meeting Of the indie
pendent Mine Operators Association
there with a view to getting them to
indorse the contract.
Officials of the operators associa-
ton said last night that this contract
is a supplemental n and can be.
come effective only after approval by
DR.. Garfield of the coal administration
The wage increase means to the oper,
ators a corresponding increase in the
selling price of coal sufficient to cover
the additional expense to the opera
tors. They are preparing a cost data
to submit to DR.. Garfield showing the
actual increase in wages and asking
his approval. Mr., Johnson said the
coal in the Southwest is in thin veins
md the overhead expense is greater
han in other districts in the United
States. The margin of profit is small
and a wage increase must result in al
increased selling price in order tC
break even.

Sour Stomach.

Eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, abstain from
meat for a few days and in most
cases the sour stomach will dis
appear. If it does not, take one
of Chamberlain's Tablets imme-
diately after supper. Red meats
are most likely to cause sour
stomach and you may find it
best to cut them out.

FAMILY HAPPY NOW
Bevier Man Learns That Small
Son Held by the Germans
is Returning Home.
BOY WAS CAPTURED IN FRANCE
6rusier Family Was Paying a Visit to
Native Country When War
Broke Out.

The happiest family in Macon coun-
ty today is that Of Theophile Brusier
at Beyier. The parents have Just
learned from Red Cross officials that
their son, Lucian, was recovered from
the Germans, is now in America and
on his way to Beyier.
Brusier was the leader of a miners
band at Bevier. He worked in one of
the big c~ollieries there. He ard his
wife were natives of France. In the
early summer of 1914 they returned to
France on a visit. Their relatives
lived near the Belgian border. The
Brusiers, their visit about completed.
we're preparing to return home when
war was declared. and the German
hosts began their march on Paris.
Brusier and his little family, consist
ing of his wife and five small children.
were caught in the tide of the kaiser's
legions. They were scattered over the
country, but finally reassembled after
the German enemy passed, with the
exception of Lucian, the Oldest, who
was missing.
One day a military officer tapped
Brusier on the shoulder and he became
a soldier of France. He served in the
front line of trenches during the work
in the early days, and one day, while
lying wounded, was notified that
France thanked and exempted him
from further military service because
of the arrival Of a sixth child, which,
under the laws of France, exempts the
father.
Brusier recovered, joined his wife.
and they decided to return to Missouri
and put in order their home. The wife
remained in France some months
longer searching for her boy, and then
giving him up as dead, returned here
also. There were so many killed when
the flood of helmeted soldiers swep
across their native land they believed
their boy had gone down with the rest
Now he's coming back to them.

Nearly 5000 Missouri farm boys
have taken the short course IN agri

ty-two years ago at the University o.

graduates of this practical course.
and it is estimated from records that
the cost, which averages only $50 a
year. is really an investment at from
20 to $50 per cent. The course may
be completed in two years of two
