BRIEF REVIEW OF STEPS
LEADING TO COAL STRIKE

Here are the outstanding facts con
corning the coal strike and what led
up to it:
United Mine Workers of America,
meeting at Cleveland, September %,
sounded the first strike alarm by de-
claring the wartime wage agreement
ended on Nov. 1.
Executive officers charged with the
duty of negotiating a new agreement,
were ordered to stand out for three
demands, and if not granted, to issue
strike call for more than 100000
soft coal miners in 20 states. These
demands were:
A five-day working week; a six
hour day and a wage increase of GO
per cent.
At scale committee meetings at
Buffalo and Philadelphia, miners and
operators threshed over their differen-
, ces without peaceful settlement.
Representative of the miners con-
tended that the demands were not ar
bitrary; that the sixty per cent in
crease was set as a basis for negotia-
ton; that a six-hour day meant ac-
tual time the miners were to work I'M
derground.
The miners insisted on a five-day
week, they said, because there were
not four days work week the yeal
around for each miner. They contend,
ed that by limiting each miner to five
days there would be a more equitable
distribution of the work. The leaders
denied that there was the beginning
of nationwide campaign for short:
er working schedule.
After failure of the two sides to gel
together the strike order was ISSUED
and Secretary of Labor Wilson, acting
by direction of the Presidents cabi
! net, Immediately called into confer
ence the heads of the mining and OPP
Grating associations. Subsequently
the full scale committees of each were
called in and various proposals wert
offered and rejected. The final pro
posal was made by President Wilson
1t suggested negotiations without res
ervation, submission of questions still
in dispute and the failure of negotia
ton, to arbitration and continued OPP
Grafton of the mines pending final set
| Element.
The operators, as set forth in q
statement by Secretary Wilson, ac
cepted the offer in its entirety, the
miners accepted the offer of negotia-
ton and held the other two for con-
sideration later" This, as explained
by Secretary Wilson, abruptly ended
the conference.
The miners, in the series of confer
ences, charged that while the wartime
scale remained, restrictions on the war
price of coal had been removed and
permitted operators to charge what
they pleased. This, they declared, had
led to profiteering.
An appeal to the miners by President
Wilson and announcement by Attorney
General Palmer that the strike would
be considered "illegal," failed to bring
about the resembling of the strike or
der.

MOVE 1882 CARS OF APPLES.

Up to November 2 a total of 1852
carloads of apples have been shipped
out of the Wenatchee district besides
1914 cars of summer fruit, or approx
imately 5000 cars altogether. Most
of the apples are now picked and
packed. Shipments average about 100
cars daily.
This is less than one-half what
shippers claim should be sent out to
save the crop from freezing.

MAKES A MOTHER HAPPY
Public Health Association Straight
ching Little ChiId's Legs.

There is little colored baby and a
young mother in Topeka who are GO
ing to be made very happy. The oaby's
legs and feet were not growing
straight. Mrs. c. c. Bailey, superin-
tendent of the Public Health Nursing
association, learned of the case. She
told the mother to bring the little one
to the office in the city hall and they
would try to do something for the
limbs that were starting out crooked.
This morning Dr. w. B. Steward. city
and county physician. Strengthened out
the limbs. which are still soft and
pliable. and wrapped the legs and feet
in a plaster cast. The cast will be left
on for time and then another will
be put on. Little by little the correc-
ton will be made and it is believed
that finally the youngsters legs will
be just as straight as those of any lit
tie girl baby in town.
1t is possible that the mother had
not realized before that things of that
nature were done thru the Public
Public Health Nursing association and
might perhaps have hesitated about
having anything done ion account of
the cost which she might have thought
of as prohibitive. But the association
makes no charge for the big, work
they are accomplishing.
