MINE WORKERS
WARNED To WATCH
BONUS SYSTEM

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. lin a cir.
cular issued to all members of thu
United Mine Workers union the exc.
cutive board of that organization
raises a warning cry against substitute
ing the wage bonus system based upo1
the fluctuations of the coal marke
for the present joint wage CONTRACT
system.
'Official recognition of the princi
pie of adjusting wages by the applica.
ton of the bonus system in times o.
trade prosperity, might eventually, b,
the same process, mean the recogni
ton of wage reductions in times Of
trade depression" it is stated.
1--WE are not opposed to the employ
ers of labor giving additional remun.
Grafton to his employees, whenever HI
may feel justified in so doing, pro
Viding such action and the motive!
prompting it are not aimed to weak
en- or destroy the permanency or thu
system of collective bargaining tina
we have, with SO much labor and sac
rifice, created, and which means 81
much to the future success of thi:
Organization and the thousands O.
men, women and children of the min
ing communities Of our country.
I'VE warn our members agains
those who would have us disregard
our contract obligations for reasons
Of apparent temporary advantage
and we advise that no action be taker
in this critical period that might be
construed as a deviation from thu
well-defned policy our union has Dl
lowed since it's inception.
'Surely the lessons Of the past have
been sufficient to teach our member:
that permanent benefits in the. way o.
increased wages, and improved condi
tons in the mines have been secured
only where we have had a voice il
the adjustment Of these wages ant
conditions in joint conference, an(
when we find those interests wht
have fought to deny the miners tn
right to voice in the shaping Of thu
conditions under which they mus
work, now coming to us bearing gifts
it behooves us to be on our guard les
in clutching for the shadow we may
lose the substance.
1.-THE benefits that would have &C
crued in the past, had we depended
upon the benevolence of the EN-
ployer, instead of our organized eff
fort, can readily be conjectured b!
any one familiar with industrial con
ditions, and the outlook for the future
of our people would be gloomy, in
deed, if at this late date we permitted
ourselves to be deluded into substitute
ing so-called benevolence for the ele
ments of justice that the joint wage
agreement guarantees to U.S."

Preparing Bulletins
, On Public Ownership

The National Public Ownership
league his in preparation a number OF
bulletins on various phases of public
and municipal ownership. These bull
letlns will supersede anything that
has been published along these lines.
For one thing they will bring the SUBJ
jects down to date. They will be pre-
pared by specialists and authorities
of high standing and thorough re-
liability, SO that they may be entirely
depended upon by those who are
seeking facts and information. Each
one will be devoted exclusively to
some certain phase of the subject, so
that it can be treated more exhaus-
lively and therefore = satisfactorily
than in books or pamphlets dealing
with the subject in q general way.

published will be on municipal Elec-

SCHOOLS SPREAD
PROHIBITION CAUSE
(By Call News Service)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The sweep
toward national prohibition of the
liquor traffic is due to the anti-alco.
holic instruction impaired through the
public schools, according to John A.
McSparran, chairman Of the legislative
committee of the National Grange.
1.-THE prohibition wave now sweep
ing over the country" declares Nc
Spartan, lis due directly to the intro
duction of the study OF physiology in
to the public schools 20 years ago.
1.-THE reason why this generation has
a different attitude toward alcoholic
beverages from that held by any other
generation is due to that. The minds
Of thousands of children have been
trained in that definite manner, and
as adults they think of drink in a way

HUMAN LIVES
VALUED AT $40
(By Cal. News Seryice.)

BARACKVILLE, w. Va, Feb. H.
A human life is worth SO.
So holds the law, which has i'm
posed fine of 500 on the assistant
foreman of mine here who had been
found responsible for the death CT ten
miners in mine explosion on Oct. -
of last year. The verdict has just
been handed down.
Thorough probing disclosed that
the accident claimed such heavy toll
because the workers had been per-
mitted to enter a gaseous mine that
had not been inspected on that morn
ing, as required.
And the man held guilty Of c-:m-
inal carelessness in causing the death
of ten men was fined by 4 court of
justice just $1OO!'

A Common Cold.

"Only a cold. Nothing serious in
the least
How often does one hear that sort
of remark. And yet, as any'physician
will testify, the common cold is one
of the greatest enemies of mankind.
Your friend Jones is very deaf. 1t
is bore to try to talk to him. What
made him deaf? Colds. Nearly all
cases of deafness are due solely to
that cause. Old people are more apt
to be deaf than young folks because
they have lived longer and have had
more time to suffer from colds.
The common cold is very danger
Gus. Smith, an acquaintance of yours,
died week before last What carried
him off? Pneumonia, All, yes. But it
was a cold that did the mischief. The
germs invaded his lungs, and now he
is in the graveyard.
Heart disorders, kidney troubles
and rheumatism are liable to be en-
gendered by colds. Remember the
case of your friend Brown? He died
of an infection of the frontal sinus
the cavity behind the brows. A cold
started it.
Common colds (says the Public
Health Serwice) are very contagious.
Everybody has noticed how they will
run through a family. They sweep
through a city, through whole state,
attacking nearly everybody and car
rying off the aged, the very young,
the weak and the debilitated.
Not until very recently has it been
realized that colds are invariably
caused by germs. The latter are so
tiny that million Of them would rest
on the head of pin. Their favorite
breeding places are dusty, unventl-
lated rooms. Fresh air is their worst
enemy.
The best way to avoid colds is to
keep the body in fit (meanins dis
ease-resistant conditions;) TO keep
away from dusty, iIl-ve2ti!ated places,
and to avoid chilling Of the body by
cold or wet. Such chilling lessons the
resisting rover o. the body, and so
may conduce to colds. But, barring
this ro:nt, tie oren window is the
best of preventatives.

LUTHER'S SIMPLICITY.
Great Reformer Preached i'm Direct.
Appealing way.

There are many excellent lessons
to be learned from the experiences OF
Luther. as he has related them; not a
few of which might be utilized with
practical advantages by our pastors
today. Here is one particular passage
which many ministers would do we'll
to keep in view:
when preach here" he wrote, Il
sink myself deeply down. | regard
neither doctors nor 'magistros, of
which are here in the church about
40; but l have an eye to the multitude
of young people, children and SER
wants, of which are more than 1000.
l preach to these and direct myself to
hem that have need thereof. Will not
the rest hear me? The door standeth
open to them: they may be gone. |
see that the ambition of preachers
they will please the worldly wise, and
in the meantime neglect the simple
and common multitude.
A plain, simple gospel message. civ
en- in language readily understood by
hose for whom it was intended-such
was the rule of the great Reformer,
who repressed all temptations to vain
intellectual display, and made himself
as nothing, that Jesus Christ might be
exalted. With intellectual and ora
orical ability to stand DeRore kings"
yet he could sink himself in giving
the message to the lowly ones, even
to the children. Surely one of the
greatest gifts minister can desire is
that of plain, earnest speech, forget
full of self and caring nothing for the
praise of the worldly-wise, but striv-
ing eagerly to reach the hearts of
those who in all ages have been most
willing to give heed-the common
people. Herald.

ganized at once to respond to the

ed. Also, some sort of fire alarm
should be provided. We believe it

If there is a law in South Carolina
whereby a prohibitive license can be
invoked against those monster fakes,
carnivals, it is mystery why it is not
enforced. On several occasions car
nivals have been prevented from
showing in Bamberg because of some
law requiring license fee of 500
"a day. Since then we believe one
carnival was allowed to show, but
now we understand that the city au-
thorities will not allow them to come
into town-and We hope they Will
never allow such aggregatlons to
disgrace the town again. 1t is GER
tainly nothing to the credit OF any
city to allow these gamblers and cut
throats and moral degenerates to ply
their trade within its borders. And
If there is no State law requiring a
prohibitive license, we commend the
matter to the attention of our dele
CATION to give decent people relief
from such exhibitions.

The best news the people have read
from the front in long time was that
of the British victory last week. And
then, right on top of that came the
good news of an American destroyer
capturing a German u-boat. Some
war experts say that the British tank
victory-for it was really the tanks
which turned the trick-was the
greatest victory of the war so far,
and probably the turning point OF the
struggle. While it would not be
wise yet to indulge in too much op-
timism, it really appears that Amer
lea is playig the stellar role in the
war-for American destroyers in the
war zone have accomplished wonders
in freeing the seas of the submarine
menace, thus putting heart in the
fighting forces in the trenches, and
making it possible to get plenty of
supplies to them. 1t is a notable
fact that since American patrols en-
tered the submarine zone, the num-
ber of vessels sunk have been grow
ing gradually smaller, while the num-
Der of submarines sunk have been
growing larger.
