MINERS DECIDE To
STRIKE ON NOV. |
Soft Coal Pits of Four States to
Be Affected.
ACTION TO TAKE OUT 225, 900
Demands of Union Cannot Be Met, De-
clare the Operators, Who Say the
Present Scale Is Still in
Effect.

Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-Strike orders
will be issued soon calling on 225,OOO
miners in the soft coal fields Of west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois to quit work November 1.
The joint conference of operators
and miners that met here after dead
lock at Buffalo adjourned without
reaching an agreement.
Lewis Tells of Strike Plan.
The announcement of the forthcom-
ing strike order was made by John l..
Lewis, acting president of the United
Mine Workers of America, whose de-
mands for 60 per cent wage increase,
a six-hour day, a five-day week. time
and a half for overtime, and double
time for Sundays and holidays were
rejected.
The operators maintained they could
not agree to the demands and the
miners declined to offer any other
proposition.
Operators contended that the pres
ent wage scale is in effect, and could
not be abrogated legally. They were
supported by DR.. Harry A. Garfield,
former United States fuel administra-
tor. His letter read at the closing ses-
sion of the conference said the agree
ment made at Washington early in
1913 was to continue in force until
peace was declared, or until March 81,
1920"
Operators Side Told.
The operators issued this statement:
81. That the demands were extrava-
gantly excessive and impossible Of ac-
ceptance.
"2. That an effective and entirely
fair wage scale is in full force and eff
feet until April 1, 1920, or until peace
is promulgated.
so. That the public, through the gov
eminent was third party to the pres
ent agreement, and in the absence Of
and without the consent Of this third
party the operators had no right to-
consent to the arbitrary abrogation of
the existing contract, nor had they the
right to agree to new contract which
would double the cost Of coal and re-
strict the output,

FEED WELL IN AUTUMN TO GET
EGGS IN WINTER


Feed your pullets we'll now if you
want to get eggs this winter, says j. Ct.
Halpin, secretary of the Wisconsin
Poultrymen's association. It is the
we'll fed, fully grown pullet that will
give the poultryman lots of eggs this
winter.
The dairyman knows that he must
have his heifers in good flesh before
they freshen if he is to get heavy milk
production. So with the poultryman,
he must have his pullets in good flesh
before they begin laying if he is to get
heavy egg production.
The pullets should get good mixture
of grains such as corn, wheat and oats,
or corn, barley, and oats. Buckwheat
may be fed instead of wheat. With the
grain the pullets should get ground
feed made of cornmeal, bran, shorts,
ground oats, gluten feed, and tankage.
If a poultryman has milk to feed he
does not need any other animal feed,
but if no milk is available some form of
animal food, such as meat scrap, tank
age or ground bone, should be fed.

Lyman L. Pierce, of San Francisco,
and Charles Sumner Ward, of New
York, who are directing the 100000
campaign of the Wisconsin Colleges
Associated, are the men who made
many of the original experiments in
the modern campaign methods. They
originated and made the first demon
strations Of the campaign method by
states which was used in all the big
war drives.
Mr.. Pierce was responsible for the
territory west of the Mississippi River
in practically every one of the great
nationwide patriotic campaigns dur
ing the war.
Mr.. Pierce came to Wisconsin from
San Francisco to help the Wisconsin
colleges because as he says the enter
prise and daring of the Wisconsin In
stitutions challenged him.
For the first time in the history OF
American education the colleges OF a
state regardless of whether monde
nominational or UNCONVENTIONAL, Cath
olic or Protestant, have become asso-
ciated to work out their common prob
lems," said Mr.. Pierce. wisconsin
points the way for American educa-
ton. Wisconsin is really making a
momentous contribution to our coun-
try"
The money to be raised by these col
leges will be used in increasing teach
ers' salaries, enlarging faculties, con-
structing new buildings, adding new
equipment and enlarging endowments.
