BE NO COAL STRIKE
SOUTHERN MINERS ACCEPT THE
PENALTY CLAUSE.
Operators in Anthracite Fields Agree
to Wage Increase Provided Higher
Sale Price Is Permitted.

Working contracts embodying the
much. disputed automatic penalty
clause" insisted upon by Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield were signed in Kan
sas City last Saturday night by the
presidents of the Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Kansas union mine dis
tricts and representatives of the
Southwest Coal Operators associa-
ton.
The action came after the delegates
from the Missouri and Arkansas Ok
lahoma districts to the miners con-
vention being held there had with
drawn from the convention and au-
thorized their presidents to agree to
the penalty clause. Alexander Hovat,
president of the Kansas district, then
yielded and signed.
Wage increases ranging from Is to
a. per cent for Pennsylvania anthra-
cite miners were agreed to by the oper-
ators in Washington last Saturday on
condition that the advances are alb
sorbed in higher coal prices.
AS soon as they had signed their
tentative new contracts the miners
and operators called on Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield and asked that an
thracite prices be raised to meet the
increases.
DR.. Garfield took their request un-
der advisement and announced that he
would make a careful investigation
before rendering a decision.
1t is estimated that the wage in
creases would add about 45 cents a
ton to anthracite prices and give the
miners about $40,000,000 additional
pay annually.

1t Is hoped that the present revival
shall know no abating
And what shall we say about the
Liberty Loan? We are AZ patriotic Az
any, We will stand by the country till
the very end. But to stand by the
country is not the same necessarily,
az to stand by the president in the
government. III the government wants
us to stand by 1t. the government must
stand by us. What has the govern
ment done besides talking, to protect
the people against the unreasonable
high prices of the selfish speculator?
If the government had taken hold long
ago many would have been able to buy
Liberty Bonds who are not able today.
There ought to be reciprocity. The
people ought TO stand by the govern
ment, but the government must also
stand by the people.

Among the things needed are better
roads, more people, more religion. The
roads are certainly a holy terror I'm
winter time, especially. Even the
preacher says that the roads are not
conducive to development Of religion.
Let the people get together and pull
unitedly and boostingly for better
roads, the other things smay come.
Good roads will facilitate communica-
ton, will increase the value of land
and OF property. Enthusiastic meet
ings have been ,held recently at White
Bird, Deer Greek and at Doumecq for
the purpose of bonding the district for
$55,000 for road Improvement and for
a bridge across the Salmon at the
mouth of White Bird creek. Petitions
for the voting of bonds are out Let
all community boosters sign it and
then vote accordingly when the cleo
tion comes. IL you can't help the good
work, don't hinder IL. There Ia such
a thing as Saving the penny and los
Ing the dollar" If the bond Is not
voted we are inclined to think 1t will
be another illustration Of the truth Of
the old adage. Therefore, talk about
1t, boost for 1t, and vote for the good
roads and bridge, that these may soon
be here In reality.

Would 1t not be fine thing for the
people OF White Bird to form n per-
manent organization To be charged with
looking after the creek so that the
town shall be reasonably safe from an
other highwater spout? Everybody's
business IL nobody's business. 1t takes
organization, and some head to the or
ganization to do effective work. Let
safety first be the slogan, and let us
boost for White Bird that she shall
rise and become better than ever.
S0mber Reflections ON Various Topics.
The Red Cross work is good work,
and to help 1t IL commendabIe. When
we were not I'm war there was a legiti-
mate call for money to that work, but
since we have entered the war a new
aspect, even to the Red Cross, Is dis
CerfMble. Our government was not
willing to trust to volunteers TO de-
fend the country, either In money or
In men. CONSUMPTION and seven bill
lion dollar tax was voted. Should not
the government take care of the sick
and wounded soldiers? Should not
part Of the tax be used for that pur-

appeared I'm the daily press editorials
calling upon the churches to do what
they can to send religious workers to
the army camps, IL something which no
doubt makes the churches rejoice. II
is a recognition Of the value of relig.
ion. The Y. M. g. A. like the Red
Cross, are splendid catch-words but
again we raise the question: Are there
not chaplains In the army? are they
not paid by the government? IL this
\ kind OF work Is necessary, of which
there Is no doubt. why should this par.
ticular work be left to depend even
partly, on volunteer help either In men
or money? If the present number OF
chaplaina is not sufficient, get more;
there are thousands of ministers who
stand ready to serve In that or any
other capacity. The interest of the
daily press In matters religious has
