MIxUP IN REPORTS
Conflicting Word From Pittsburg Con-
cerning Mine Situation.

Alexa nder Howat blocked opening
union mine workers. In wire from
Indianapolis. the district president
notified his lieutenants that they
should not go back to their jobs until
he reached Pittsburg. The telegra m
broke up agreements between Gov
ernor Allen and Z. H. Gallery, counsel
for the mine workers, to send the
union workers to the pits this morn
ing.
Sudden shifts in plans of union
heads in the Pittsbure district re-
suited in conflicting reports from the
field Thursday afternoon. In the
home edition The State Journal car
Fied a report to the effect that the
governor and Gallery had reached an
agreement as to the opening of the
mines by union workers. A few min
utes after the 'hoTne edition" was on
the streets the Associated Press wires
announced that Gallery had issued a
statement declaring the governors re-
marks were premature. This was car
ried in The State Journal postscript
edition." Then came word of the
Howat telegram.
Howat is today the storm center in
the Kansas coal fields. 1t has been
the utterances of Howat and his as
sociates which stirred the state to a
fighting temper. And now Howat
wires from the scene of the national
to return to their jobs until he gave
approval to their acts. Should Howat
approve plans which the governor has
announced for removal of the volun-
teer workers when the miners return
to their jobs, the union men may go
to the mines tonight. The state re-
ceivership will not be dissolved i'm
mediately.

DRESS
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.
Coat Jackets Are LcngtIlenlng Slowly
But Surely, and Sometimes They
Take the GiIet With Them.

The suit jacket takes a drop toward
the hem line and down goes the gilet
or vest or waistcoat with it. 1t is an
adaptable little device and lends new
possibilities to all sorts of suits. Only
one thing 1t mustn't do, and that is to
show tendency TO go in at the waist
line. To be sure, there are women who
have other ideas concerning the true
and proper silhouette for the gilet. And
SO they fuss and prink over their new
clothes until they have arranged the
jacket over the gilet to give the effect
of a drawn-in waistline with the part
of the waistcoat below the waistline
plastered in against the abdomen as
flat as a postage stamp on the upper
right-hand corner of a letter.
Long Waistcoats.
In the suit shown here, of course
the keystone of the whole design is in
gradually widening wedge from nearly
the hem of the coat to a point under
the chin.
And it is of henna; that is the
waistcoat is, while the suit is of beige
duvetyn. 1t really seems as if the
dressmakers must have been working
overtime, nights and holidays, in order
to produce all these new and lovely
henna togs. For no one exactly an
ticipated a return for henna. That
henna combines well with beige you
might prove by seeing the original of
the suit shown here. Henna also goes
well with Jade green, with navy blue,
or with black.
Long Skirted Jackets.
Now a word about the Iong-skirted
jackets.
Undoubtedly they are coming
they may be months in the coming.

In France they are far more usual
than they are in this country. Here
you seldom see the long-skirted jack
ct save N the extremely expensive
suit. For the average suit and for the
average woman's suit, the shorter
Jacket is still the rule. But In France
there is a decided tendency to make
the jacket in the guise of a waist sec
ton that is quite long, extending
somewhat below the belt line. Then
the skirt of the jacket is attached to
this body piece by means of gathers,
godets or plaits. The French idea
would be to achieve a hip breadth by
means of this fuIness, but the suit
will please the American woman if the
fulness is pressed down SO as to make
the hips appear flat.

An American to Americans
By BRIGGS

[From Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.l
The business man of sterling
Americanism spoke yesterday when
Gov. William c. Sproul addressed
the Republican National Commit
tee. The Pennsylvania Executive
got right down to the fundamental
need of the country when he de-
clared that I'VE must prepare not
only to clean up the government
mess in which we find ourselves, but
we must lay our plans for restoring
our nation to the position of respect
which it once held" Preparing and
planning at this juncture mean get
ting ready for the presidential cleo
ton next year when, by orderly
constitutional means, n change OF
government must be made by the
people. We have had almost seven
years of impractical idealism to the
great hurt of the country. The de-
mand now is for practical states
manship at the seat of government
to recover America for Americans,
to establish better relationships be-
tween labor and capital, to revive
economy and business management
in administration, to secure firm
handling of the Mexican situation,
to find q sound solution of the rail-
road problem, and to restore Ameri-
canism and constitutional govern
ment.
In war we wandered far from the
accustomed paths Ct democracy;
such temporary eXpedients as were
necessary in the emergency which
then confronted the country. But
the Democratic administration eX-
hibits no ability, if it have the dis
position, to relinquish it's war-born
powers to meddle with u great va
riety of personal affairs. Paternal-
ism of government is growing rather
than diminishing, costs are mount
ing when they should be declining.
| The Wilson administration truckles
to the fomenters of unrest when it
should, and would if it had prac-
tical business capacity, adopt firm
policies in the interest of all the
people. Gov. Sproul said: IF we
will come down out of the FOOLS
paradise of extravaganza and ineffi-
| cheney in which we have been soar
| ing and got back to work in earn
est, our troubles and even our debts
will soon vanish" He knows He is
representative of the practical busi-
ness capacity and craftsmanship OF
the Republican party and it is q
most hopeful sign of better things
for the entire country that the Re-
| publican party in this critical period
is united on principles and policies
| that are essential to our common
welfare. Gov. Sproul truly sounded
| a keynote at Washington that will
augment the rallying of the hosts
of Americanism to the Republican
party banner.

HarneSSing the Giant
[Erom Atlanta Constitution ]

TSe movement that has been put
under way by a group of Americas
foremost scientists and financiers in
tended to speed up the development
of the water power resources of the
United States, would, if carried to
the extent of its possibilities. bring
about the solution of this country's
fuel problem for all time to come.
1t is estimated that the undevelop-
ed hydro-electric power resources of
the United States amounts to approx
imately 100,000,000 horse power,
having an annual value of not less
than $1,000, 100000.
These estimates are staggering;
and especially so when considered
in connection with the acuteness and
enormity of the existing fuel short
age that has been brought upon the
country.
The feasibility of the development
of the hydro-electric resources of
the country. and the economy and
profit resulting from the substitution
of electricity for steam power-and
in many localities its use for domestic
heating as well as lighting and pow
er purposes-have been so thor
oughly demonstrated by experience
as to make further argument super
fluous, and yet, in some of the most
favored localities in the country re-
sort to a utilization of this source of
energy has been most pitiably neg
lected.

THE COAL STRIKE

" HE coal strike being at an end
the effects of it will be felt
upon industry for many
weeks, if not for the remainder OF
the winter. The miners will go back
to work at a minimum wage in
crease of fourteen per cent. The
operators will be able to sell every
pound of coal they can mine. But
the public will continue to suffer
until summer comes again.
The miners have lost S4O,OOo,ooo
in wages. The operators have lost
the profits on s5,oo0,ooo tons OF
coal. The public has lost far more
than that, and will continue to lose.
The public not only pays the bill;
it pays the interest, too, and the
rate just now is very high.
The government which finally
brought the strike to an end could
have done so earlier had 1t acted
promptly, but it is useless to COM
plain about that. The thing now to
do is to create a governmental COM
mission for the settlement OF all
such difficulties before they reach
the acute stage. Such body might
have prevented the mine STRIKE
which was a failure from whatever
point it may be viewed.
