Cut This Out and Take 1t With You
 A man often forgets the exact name of the article he wishes to purchase, and as a last resort takes something else instead. That is always disap- pointing and unsatisfactory. The safe way is cut this out and take it with you SO as to make sure of getting Chamberlain's Tablets. You will find nothing quite so satisfactory for con- stipation and indigestion.

| sary effect, which, taken together, puts it
| outside the pale of the law After the
war began, the production Of fuel was re-
garded as one of the subjects of such pc
cullar public Importance as TO justify a
special statutory enactment. The fuel adj
mlnlstratlon was created to supervise the
subject, while matters of wages as well as
prices were considered and sanctioned by
the fuel administration.
After the cessation of hostillties the
| fuel administration suspended certain OF
its orders, but did not terminate them,
and they are subject to reinstatement at
any time upon the Presidents order and
the statute under which the orders were
made is still in full force
with this situation existing the con-
| vention of United Mine Workers at Cleve-
| land last September decided to annul all
wage contracts on Nov. / and took the
unprecedented step of deciding in advance
| of any opportunity for consultation either
with the government or with the coal OPP
| orators, to strike ON Nov /, unless salts
| factory new arrangements should be made.
Without any expression from the
workers themselves the organization prom
ulgated demand for a 90 per cent in
crease in wages, a six-hour day and a five
| day week, and authorized strike to be
effective Nov. / before the demands were
even presented to the operators.
| The demand for a new wage agree
meRt covered only part of the coal
| fields, but the strike order was sent broad
cast to workers in other fields, where OPP
orators had been given no opportunity to
even consider demands for increased wag'
| es or decreased hours
| "All this has been done while the min
ers in every field, through their right oil
collective bargaining had entered into a
solemn contract with the operators, fix
| ing wages and hours for definite period
which has not yet expired
The operators, upon the insistence oil
the President, indicated their willingness
to negotiate and arbitrate providing the
strike is deferred. while the miners reject
ed the Presidents request for arbitration
as a means of settlement and refused tc
defer the strike.
Some of the wage contracts were made
with the sanction of the federal govern
ment, operating through the fuel admin
istration, to run during the continuation
of the war or until April /, 1920. Many

While it is perfectly plain that the
war is still on and any contract running
until its conclusion is still in force, what

no longer requires such contracts, it ha
no application whatever to the large mum
