 ilians' Supplies.

PRESIDENT BUSY ON
THANKSGIVING PLEA
Condition of Executive Con-
tinues to Improve, DR..
Grayson Announces.

President Wilson is working on his
proclamation for Thanksgiving. 1t
was learned today at the White
House.
There are a number Of bills that
will undoubtedly receive his attention
and 1t Is possible DR.. Grayson will
allow him to see Senator Hitchcock to
receive a report on the status of the
treaty of peace with Germany in the
Senate.
From the present trend of events in
the coal strike, 1t seems likely the
President may be asked soon to name
a tribunal to settle the differences be-
tween operators and miners. In this
event, DR.. Grayson will not oppose it's
consideration on the Lart of the
President.
The Presidents condition continues
to improve, though slowly, according
to DR.. Grayson. He has rested we'll
nights and he keeps his spirits up well
despite the seriousness of the internal
situation throughout the country of
which he is well aware.

The Miners Greed.

The preamble to the constitution Of
the United Mine Workers Of America
is a part Of the constitution Of each

creed follows:
There II no truth more obvious
than that without coal there could
not have been such marvellous So

Believing that those whose lot IL

Every union miner is familiar with
the above preamble and its meaning.
1t has been translated into his lam

Here are some of the objects OF the
miners union which cause aliens and
Americans to pay $50 initiation fee
and monthly dues to the organiza-
ton:
"First-It is the aim OF this union
to ironnoye the material intellectual
and moral condition of the toilers in
the mines.
I'VE hold that these ends may be
attained by securing better conditions
in the mines, better compensation for
the miners labor, and by interesting
them in the study of Industrial and
economic questions. We extend TO all
miners and mine laborerc without re-
gard to race or color an invitation to
unite with us. that these ends may
be attained.
"Second-To increase the wages and
improve the conditions of employment
of our members by legislation, con-
ciliation, joint agreements or strikes.
"Third-To demand that not more
than eight hours from bank to bank
in each twenty-four hours shall be
worked by members Of our organiza-

Keeping Up With
The Times
A FACT A DAY

October was another rec
ord breaker.
Told in the cold and ex.
act language Of figures, the
advertising growth of The
Times is represented by a
gain Of 1s0,930 lines in Oc-
tober over the corresponding
month of 1918. This means
a gain of 644 columns, or
more than 20 columns a day.
1t must be remembered,
too, that The Times refused
considerable amount of
advertising offered it-ad-
vertising that is objet ton
able in character of prod
uct or claims or that is ap-
parently fraudulent. For ex-
ample, in the first two
days of November, The
Times has declined nearly
5000 lines of advertising
that has appeared elsewhere
in Washington.
