THE COAL DIFFICULTIES
Proposal by Representative Burke
of Coal Region Would Have
President Operate Property

Government operation of the coal
mines for one year or as much long
er as may be necessary for the
public good was proposed in Con-
gress yesterday as a solution OF the
complicated strike situation.
The proposal was made IN res
o3ution introduced by Representa-
tive Burke, Of Pittsburg. 1t directs
the President to take over and OPP
crate the mines, effect a satisfac-
tory wage and. working agreement
with the miners, and to sell the
coal at actual cost to the pubic
plus reasonable return TO the
mine owners.
In its general idea, that of gov
ernment settlement of coal Difficult
ties, the resolution is in accord
with growing conviction in gov
ornamental circles, that even II the
Injunction against the miners lead
ers is made permanent, coal troub-
les will not be at an end, and tnat
the government will have to work
out the problem.
All the developments yesterday
tend toward the conclusion that a
deadlock exists and that there is lit
tie hope for bringing the miners
and the mine operators together for
negotiations before Saturday when
the governments application for a
permanent injunction will be ar
gued in indianapolis.

MANY SWINE EXHIBITS
PROMISED STATE FAIR

With general competition open to
the world and very liberal prizes Of
fered those showing the finest ex'
hibits, the annual Swine Show at the
State Fair of Louisiana, October 22
to 27, inclusive, promises to be featur'
ed by the liveliest interest since It
was begun fourteen years ago. Some
of the most noted herds in the United
States will be represented among the
exhibits, due to the attractive pre-
miums offered, the splendid faclll'
ties provided and the increasing In
terest that Is being taken in the
swine industry in Louisiana and ad'
joining States.
During the past several years the
raising of fine hogs has commanded
the attention of many farmers and
livestock breeders in Louisiana, with
the lessons taught at the State Fair
playing an important part IN
this development. Many razorbacks
have been eliminated and their
places taken by registered stock. Inc
value of fine blood has become recog-
nized by many citizens, and much OF
this recognition can be traced to the
State Fair, where the exhibition OF
fine animals stimulated interest IN
the industry. Among the exhibits
this year thare will be splendid lot
of Louisiana bred hogs, and the Visf
tors will be given good idea OF the
possibilities offered along this line. AS
US, al, the opportunity of purchasing
registered stock to improve present
herds and begin new ones WILL also
tie given.

mother. the wife of candidate for
United States senator. singing to her
child; butler who enters and turns
out the light; the face of a man, Wv
idly illumined In red, appearing out Of
the wall; scream as the woman
faints. shocked by the appearance OF
the mans face when her past life. in
nocent though 1t was, Is recalled.
This is the stunning prologue to
'"The Revelations of q Wife,"a gen.
uinc mystery play, which opened
Thursday at the Pinncy and will close
Saturday evening, with matinees each
day for women only.
NOT THAT BAD, At ALL.
The announcement that there were
some thing to be told women that
couldn't be told in the presence OF men
at the matinee performances, and the
press-agcnting to the effect that the
play was "a story OF wornan's past"
aroused false hopes in the minds of
many who attended the show, 1t Is safe
to say. There Is a suggestion that the
woman has had a fearful past. But
she didn't have. She didn't even live
with the man of her past.
But swithal, there is enough in the
play to make it a gruelling mystery.
There is a murder, secret passage to
the prospective senator's house; a pair
apparently so, that come out of the
wall in the same spot where the mans
head appeared to the wife. The play
is good enough to stand on its own
merits.
"NoW PASS AMONG YOU"
But the effect is generally lessened,
the sincerity of the players in their
own ability is made to appear doubtful
by one little thing that takes place
after the first act One of the players
comes out and declares that so many
people are heard to remark when they
are leaving the theatre that they
would like to know what became OF
| the players after tho play and some
thing Of what they did before" To
meet the insistent demand for this
Information, somebody has published a
book.
"The young man. he says, In the
| language of the medicine doctor, will
now pass among you. These little
books are rs cents each"
The books have glazing red paper
covers and are entitled, THE Confess
sions of a Wife" Their cheap appear
ance is 80 entirely at variance with
the polished and refined appearance Of
the players and the good first impress
I sion that the audience gets of the COM
pany that one wonders why the man.
