For Coal Since Armistice
By Associated Press

Pittsburgh, Nov. Goal operators

since the signing of the armistice.
while coal miners have been working
under the wage scale agreed upon in
September 1917, said Philip Murray.
president of District No. 5. United
Mine Workers of America. in a
statement given out here to-day.
Mr.. Murray. who has refused to
discuss any phase of the coal strike
since the court proceedings were
commended in Indianapolis, broke his
silence to protest against the allie

unlawfully and were abrogating a
contract which was still in force and

Il reality"
1t is not the purpose of the United
-iine Workers to act in an unlawful
manner" said Mr.. Murray. In fact
we deny that our strike is an illegal
one. Injunctions have been issued
which prevent the possibility OF an
| agreement being reached and there
fore restore order out of condition
! of chaos. Xxx xN k.
I'VE know we had a wartime
| agreement made by and between the
| coal operators. the United Mine
Workers and a war agency known as
| the Fuel Administration, created to
met the emergency of war. This
agency, passed out of existence in
! February, 1919. and at the same time
price restrictions were removed.
Since then mine owners have been
| receiving fancy prices from an un-
complaining public for their fuel and
coal miners have continued to work
! under the same wage scale made in
| the month of September, 1917.
NO effort has been made by our
| government to prevent profiteering in
| coal from February until the coal
miners demanded a living wage. Then
| suddenly the crash came, and coal
prices were Immediately cut from s.
and $3.50 at the mines to s2.35 pei

Are the consumers of fuel getting

'in fact the only war measure still
in existence in the estimation of ou

Mr.. Murray, discussing miners wag
es, said the average yearly earning
! of Pittsburgh district miners in 1871
was $1,043. the best year they hav,
had in their history" and added tina
while wages have been advanced "a
per cent. since 1914. the cost of living
has increased more than 100 pc
cent"
We insist that our employer
should make an earnest effort to ne
gotiate a wage scale with the min
workers representatives" concluded
Mr.. Murray. They have denied us
hearing, and until they sit down ant
carefully endeavor to work out al
amicable settlement of our differenc
es and make wage agreement, W
are convinced the mine workers will
not reScind their strike order"

Curtailments and

of What Is to Come

Chicago, Nov. t. Curtailment of
passenger train service, discontinue
ance of bunkering of foreign owed
vessels at America ports restrictions
in some places of the use of public
utilities, and appeals for coal from
various cities as the strike of approx
imately $4,000 bituminous coal min
ers to-day rounded out its first week,
gave the nation further indications
OF the distress in store should there
he a protracted suspension of mining
operations. Other disarrangements
of the country's routine are expected
with little change in the general con-
ditions surrounding the strike itself.
Government agencies still remained
hopeful that developments tomorrow
at Indianapolis, when the motion filed
by attorneys for the United Mine
Workers of America asking dissolu-
ton of the restraining order issued
last week by Judge Anderson will be
argued. micht point the way to an
early ending OF the strike.

To Help Nature Shed
A Bad Complexion

Beauty devotees are enthusiastic
over the beautifying qualities of mer-
coliZed wax. Nothing discovered
within recent years accomplishes so
much. so quickly, without harm, at
such small expense The principal
reason Tor its wonderful merit is that
1t works in harmony with physiologi-
cal laws. Instead of hiding complex
ion defects, it removes them. 1t ac-
tually takes off the aged, faded, sal
low. freckled or blotchy surface skin
gently. gradually, causing no in
convenience. 1t is Natures way of
renewing compilations.
When the natural process is re-
tarded because of deficient circuia-
ton or nerve tone. mercolized wax
comes to the rescue and hastens the
skin shedding. The new complexion
which appears is natural one,
youthful. healthy, eXquisitely beauti-
ul. If you've never tried mercolized
wax, get an ounce of IL at the drug
store. use at night like cold cream,
washing 1t Off in the morning
