Charges that the United Mine
Workers of America are trying
to hold up the people of the
United States for a billion dollar
annual increase in the cost of coal
have Just been made by the National
Coal Association in a statement
issued by its Vice President, Mr..
J. y. A. Morrow, Of Washington,
u. c.
The miners have announced their
intention of striking on November
! unless their demands are granted
and if this threat is carried out it
will be in direct violation of con-
tract entered into between the min
ers and the bituminous operators,
and approved by the Government.
Under this contract, according to
the National Coal Association, the
miners and operators both agreed
to continue during the period of the
war the wage scale, hours and work
ing conditions which were agreed
upon last year and which are still
in effect
Commenting upon the agreement.
which has been kept by the oper-
ntors, Mr.. Morrow said:

that the agreement was terminated
by the signing of the armistce, but
continued to work under it, They
have now decided to take advantage
Of the shortage of coal and the
imminence of winter to enforce their
demands in violation Of their agree
ment.
"The miners demand a six-hOu-

mine until they leave it and a five
day week The present scale calls
for an eight-novr day in the work
ing place, and a siX-day week A
six-hour day from the time of enter
ing the mine until leaving means
approximately five hours in the
working places. Thus the demand
for shorter hours means an actual
reduction from forty-eight hours a
week, the present schedule, to about
twenty-five hours a week. Working
hours would be cut almost in half.

He claims that he is out to win the
state honors this year, and says that
his team feels that it can do TO the

He feels, he says, that he has an all

This only adds more determination
to the Ardmore boys to win and with
that in mind they arg starting in this
week for stiff practice.
Mr.. Richards stated in chapel that he
noticed more machine-like order OF
the local team in the game with Durant
than was shown in the Sulphur game.
The coach hopes to make this machine
like skill Of the team more perfect for
the Marietta game Friday.
Many new arts of the game will be
more apparent in the coming contest

prepared for the invaaion Of Texas on
the 25th of this month. when Ardmore
goes to Gainesville to try its luck at

sixty per cent. increase in wages
The effect Of these demands, Il
granted, would be almost to double
the, present cost Of mining coal. In
round figures, the increased cost
would approximate one billion dol
lars year.
amy such increased cost must
necessarily be paid by the public.
The prices which bitumnous oper-
ators have obtained Mt the mines
this year have been materially less
than the prices of last year, under
Government control, and their pro-
fits have been reduced to tie mini
mum. For example, exhibits filed
by the Pittsbug operators with tho
Senate Committee investigating the
coal situation show that their pro-
fits are less than one.half those of
last year and average but three per
cent. on the capital invested This
is typical of the conditions in the
industry generally.
with such a narrow margin of
profit it is impossible for the oper-
ators to absorb any increase in
wages. Therefore, this demand for
increased wages, while it is made
Upon the operators, is necessarily
demand on the public"

Don't Run Away.


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee.
We are three girl friends, III years
of age, who are in love with three
soldiers boys who Just returned
from France. They want us to run
away and marry them. Our parents
object. Should we do it? Is IL corr
rect for girls Of our age to go to
public dances? Is it all right for us
to let boys kiss us goodnight?
Thanking you in advance. Please
put in morning Bee.
THREE ANXIOUS CHUMS.
Your soldier boy friends should
be arrested. 1t is wicked to suggest
such a thing to girls Of your age,
They would not marry you, but after
few days er weeks, grow tired OF
the bargain and cast you off in the
scrap heap Of ruined girls. No, you
should, not go to public dances. nor
should you permit boys TO kiss you
goodnight. Kissing leads to all sorts
of things, and you three are just lit
tie girls. Don't allow soldiers, or
any other man, to suggest running
away. 1t only means misery for the
girl.
