CHARGES INJUSTICE

We realized the fact that a great in- justice had been done the United Mine Workers of America, and we can only hope for another day, when we may have an opportunity to compel the coal op- orators to deal out simple justice to the members of our organization. We went to the end and we could do no more
 T am in hopes that the day is not far distant when we may be able. as in days gone by, to compel the coal oper- ators to respect the rights of the United Mine Workers of America For the time being, while the Lever act is in effect we shall try to do the best we can. believe the time is drawing near whef the working classes of this country vii rot agree to continue to suffer under the iron heel of oppression as they are ooing at this time. We fought for de- mocracy, but it appears now that we have established autocracy. and we find our selves today deprived of nearly all the liberties we enjoyed only one short year or so ago."

USELESS SACRIFICE

Nothing could be accomplished II every member of the executive board had gene to prison in the fight to uphold the rights of the miners. If would not have won the strikes. It would only have been q useless sacrifice because the govern nent was going to stop any assessments from being collected to provide for the men who were on strike, and was also scing to prohibit anyone from paying strike benefits Of any kind. Conseqoent- ly, in few days all financial relief for the men who were on strike would have been cut off. Under such circumstances, with the government against us, it would have been a hopeless fight.
 We realized fully that we had gone to the end, and for that reason decided to declare the strike at an end in com pliance with the order of the court, and also in accord with the recommenda- tions of our international officers.
 When the strikes in this district were called it was not with any thought of fighting the government as we did not expect the government to have anything to do with it. We considered it diff ference between the miners and the op- aratprs. The government, however. claimed the strikes were illegal and in violation of the Lever act The operators were eliminated from the fight and the government took their place.

Will Have to Look Their Prettiest il
They Expect to Find Favor With
Woman Voters.

1t is not necessary to go away from
home to find either the latest or best.
regardless of what is wanted. Consider
eyebrow arching, for instance. A local
beauty salon announces to the public
that it does eyebrow arching. and ex-
plains that this operation "gives the
eyes deep, soulful expression with
everlasting charm" Eyebrow arching
advice for woman electors is more or
less superfluous. 1t is to the men, and
more especially to the men who aspire
to public Office, that this beauty hint is
! directed.
Throughout the country women are
getting the ballot on equal terms with
men. Women cannot vote in Indiana,
but they are going to have that privi-
lege before long. So many women
have been enfranchised that they now
hold the balance Of power in this ma
ton. So the woman vote will be more
the candidate.
Some electors care little for the per-
sOnal appearance of candidates, but
| most of them prefer a man of char
acter. one who at least is presentable.
Candidates in the future will have to
bear this in mind. It will be well, in
order to match rival candidates, for
each to have a good tailor and an ad-
visory committee on the proper shade
of cravats. Immaculate linen will have
to be in every candidates platform.
The high arched eyebrow will be even
more essential to candidates than to
the average woman. Doubtless those
who have political aspirations will be-
gin early, because eyebrow training
takes time.-Indianapo News.
