MINERS URGE IN
CREASE IN WAGES

Coal miners have been urging an in
crease in wages. Representatives of
miners organizations gathered in
in Washington with a porposal that
wages be raised at this time to meet
the bonus paid by the operators and
Fuel Administrator Garfield would
not hear Of the proposition. Appeal
was then made for a re-opening of
the coal miners wage question. De-
spite DR.. Garfield's refusal of the YER
bal request the petition was present
ed by Frank J. Hayes, of the United
Mine Workers, and President John
r. Demsey, of the First Pennsylvania
coal district
Speaking at your behalf and at
your request" said Dr. Garfield, 81
promised the presiden of the United
States last October that no further
increase in wages would be asked for
during the period of the war l can
not and will not break that promise"
DR.. Garfield further said: "Bon-
uses are an evil and must be stopped
am acting upon that question. Con-
corning wages, the government is at
present investigating the cost of liv-
ing and wage conditions in the min
ing fields. / shall do all in my power
to see that he commission investigat-
ing that subject is out in full posses
sion of the facts concerning mine
workers and be governed by its find
ings. But proposal to consider an
advance in mine wages by itself
raise wholly different question"
Federal Fuel Administrator Gar
field has signed an order reducing
mine in all the coal fields of Ohio ex-
cepting one district, which had already
been adjusted. The reduction is five
cents ton and follows repeated bid
ding on the part of coal operators
for labor by the paying of bonuses.
DR.. Garfield issued a statement not
long ago in which he said that the
payment of bonuses causes unrests
and shifts but does not increase the
total production of coal and that the
maximum production is essential to
the successful conduct of the war and
for the welfare Of the boys in the
trenches" He also made it plain
that in his view "the payment of
bonuses in any form was contrary to
the spirit of the wage agreements
made by operators and mine workers
with the president of the United
States last November. Goal oper-
ators say that there are no bonuses
paid in northern West Virginia. OPP
have not been recognized by wage
scales being adopted the payment of
the price which has been paid for
mine work in the past is not to be
construed as bonus.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-War-
time prohibition has emporarily given
ground in favor Of war revenues, and
viii no take effect before July /, 1919,
should the bill pass the Senate.
billion dollars in revenue, to come
as tax out of the pockets of those
who use alcoholic beverages, is the
potent arguement that won over the
Senate leaders to an agreement not to
press for immediate nationwide pro-
hibition.
The prohibitionists gave ground
with the greatest reluctance. 1t re-
quired the personal influence of Pres
ident Wilson finally to turn the bal
ance and persuade them that they
would best give the country and give
more aid to winning the war by allow
ing the Government to take its toll
of war revenue from alcoholic bever-
ages. The plan is avoid consump-
ton taxes on the necessaries of life,
which would apply to all alike and
reach into the poorest homes of the
land

At this announcement there are thirty five boys sick with the Span- lsh influenbza at the Branch Normal Training camp. We are calling for vol unteers to help nurse them. We have in the city a large number of colore0 women, members of the Red Cross. Now IS your opportunity. Are there not many who are so situated that they can give a portion of their time? Friends, we need your help. Here are young men away from home; away from mothers wives and sisters who would nurse them, but they can not get to them They are here in our midst. Let us see to it that they do not suffer for the want of proper at tention. Let not sentiment, personal interest, nor anything else keep us from doing our full duty. Let good sense and Christian charity control us. Don't stop to ask, what are they going to pay? or who else is going to help? but offer your services at once.
 If man does not pay you, God will pay you. No one is ever the loser for doing his duty. The Good Samaritan on the way to Jericho did not ask, Who is going to pay me if I help him He got down off his beast and did his duty. The Master says: "Go, and do thou likewise"
 Those who can render help will at once call one of the following num- bers: 2085; 341; or 1237.
