smiling and waving at someone else
had had pleasant tang, for jealousy

toward her in pursuit of the boy Stas,

with guilty apprehension when he saw

hands. Gloria sent the boy away, told

Saws Coal Strike
Will Continue Till
u. S. Raises Price
Central Field Organ AS
serts Garfield Must Yield
to Effect Settlement

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Despite the
threat Of Frank Harrington, president
Of the Illinois district OF the United
Mine Workers, TO Gust any striking coal
miner who did not Immediately return
to work, il was predicted to-day that
the coal strike In the central field
would not be settled until the fuel ad-
ministration fixed higher price sched-
ule so the operators might meet the
miners demands.
"The Black Diamond" organ OF the
coal industry, in to-morrow's issue VIII
say that no settlement is possible un.
less Dr. Harry A. Garfield, the Fuel
Administrator, yields.
Meanwhile production in this field
has been reduced about 100000 tons
daily, according to estimates.
A dispatch from Peoria stated that
400 miners returned 70 work. The mines
around Virden, Thayer, Auburn, Athens
and Andrew, H., and in the Clinton
field OF Indiana, also are reported re-
opened, but walkouts occurred at Ia
luca, Benton and Glen Carbon.
Mr. harrington said: 81 have every
reason TO believe DR.. Garfield is doing
everything in his power to make pro-
spective wage increases effective as
early as possible, although he has made
it clear TO me that he will not allow
wage increases to become effective until
all the men are back at work.
"The serious feature about the whole
matter Is that unless that part of our
membership now idle should decide to
return to work they will in all likeli-
hood force industrial CONSUMPTION. | do
not propose to allow a comparatively
few thoughtless members Of the organ
ization to bring this condition upon the
overwhelming majority who are per-
forming their duty. Where men are no.
back to work on Monday their local
charters will be revoked"
The situation in Chicago became more
critical to-day as the temperature shot
down toward the freezing mark.
