HINES PO[ ICY
STRAINS PATIENCE
l UNION MINERS
Acting President Lewis
Makes Significant State
nlent at Pittsburgh.
INDUSTRY DEMORAL|zED
All Because Railroad Ad-
rninistration Pursues
False Theory.

PITTSBURGH, April 11-John L.
Lewis, acting president of the United
Nine Workers of America, who was
here inspecting mine conditions in
the district said last night that the min
ers' organization will be obliged to
take drastic action unless there is a
change OF policy on the part Of the
Dtrector-G General Hines.
Since have been in Pittsburgh"
sad Mr.. Lewis II have learned that he
(Mr. Hines) is making contracts for
coal during April. The custom has
been to contract for six months sup
pies" The making of such contracts
means that the railroad director-gen-
era1 will arrange to get coal during
< May for less than he paid during April
declared, Mr.. Lewis. He refused to
! state definitely what he meant by
drastic action.
Mr.. Lewis came from Washington
shortly before his visit to Pittsburgh.
Wbile there he conferred with Director
Walker D. Hines of the railroad admin
tstration and with other officers Of the
ssesImold LIsI '1u9muIsAo5 rBulolBu
which were contradicted by the gov
etlInent's performances even while
X t1ey,were being uttered, was all that
he brought away with him he declares.
In consequence he and other miners
leaders are outspoken in their denun-
citation OF the treatment which is being
accorded their industry.
During his two days in Pittsburgh
nj. Lewis Investigated conditions not
merely from the standpoint of the
men Of his organization but went
deeply into the subject from the stand
point Of the coal operators, having sew
efal meetings with the lead ng men,
bers IN Pittsburgh of the National
Coal Association. Fresh evidence. he
said Of the purpose Of the railroad ad-
ministration to dcmoralize things
came into his possession while here in
the form Of Information that the agent
~ Mr., Hines were negotiating con.
tracts for coal for the month OF April
merely an unprecedented course in
government railroad management, 1t
being customary to make contracts for
q period Of six months. In discussing
the conditions Mr.. Lewis said:
In consequence of the false govern
iaeiit policy resulting from the failure
ot President Wilson to recommend to

Congress q definite method % dealing
With the railroads, s.he mining industry
Is in ccrdlticp 0: miserable de-
moralizatton. The railroads are de-
moralized too and between these two
sources OF business chaos the entire
business Of the country is treatened
with an upset tho like OF. which has
never been previously known In the
history Of the country.
THE coal operators are at sea and
do not know or see any prospects Of
learning what they may expect. Thous
ands Of mines are entirely close down.
In the state of Ohio alone there are
$1,000 miners who have not worked a
day since the first of the year. These
conditions are due to the price demon
alizing work of the railroad administra
ton and are daily becoming worse.
I'VE have asked Mr.. Hines to do 3
things. First we want him to distrib-
ute the orders for coal Of the rail-
roads so that practically all the coal
operators will have some business and
practically all the miners some en-
ployment. The railroads of the coun-
try consume approximately one-third
OF the output Of the mines and II this
were done all the miners would have,
theoretically speaking. one third time.
I'm the second place we want full
publicity as to the mining contracts Of
the government. The public has a
right to this information, as well as
the miners and the operators whose
business and employment are affected.
In the third place we want the gov
eminent to guarantee to every opera
tor from whom it purchases coal a
fair profit upon the SALE. This de.
mand is particularly important to the
public as if the government forces op-
orators to sell at a loss Or at cost,
the operators must make up his short
age by overcharging the private pur-
chaser.
"All these things Mr.. Hines has
promised US he would do and has not
begun to do any of them. In fact ev-
we can learn regarding hts
performances indicates that he is de
'termined not to do them. Since I
have been in Pittsburgh, have learn
ed that he is making contracts for coal
during April. The custom has been to
contract for six months supplies. The
April contracts mean that during April
he will arrange to get coal during May

anyhow. There must be change Of

or the miners organization will be

PHILIPPINE WOMEN INTEREST.
ED IN PUBLIC WELFARE WORK

Railway Trainmen:-
That the proud position Of prem, er
province of the Philippines is being
eegerly sought by the people Of "an-
gasinan is evidenced by tn. -apiiity
with which they are forging ahea1 IN
all matters of public-welfare develop
.ment. Already reckoned among the
most industrious and ambitious Of the
provinces and claiming, il il said, the
possession Of more happy and content
ed homes than any other province,
Pangasinan has now the added dis
tinction of having recently been the
scene of the first Women's Club Con-
vention ever held in the Islands. The
convention, according to information
reaching the United States depart
ment of labor, was attended by 1872
delegates representing So clubs and
during its session as many as 1862 club
women registered at the Woman's
Club Booth.
The broad interest taken by the
women of the far-away possession of
the United States in all progressive
measures for the betterment of wom-
en- and children is well illustrated by
the series Of resolutions adopted by
the convention. These included:
IA resolution to recommend to
the Philippine legislature the estab-
lishment Of a wonan's bureau, with
woman directors charged with the
duties Of handling all woman's club
work on the islands.
"a resolution that steps be taken
to secure the $4,000 pesos allotted by
the Legislature for the provincial hos
pital and that one wing of it be de-
voted to the use Of women and child
ren.
3-A resolution endorsing the move
to pay living wage to teachers.
A resolution to grant free med
ical attention to school children.
"a resolution to provide teacher
nurses in the schools.
GA resolution endorsing prohibi-
ton, social-hygiene movements, and
equal opportunities to women.

A LESSON IN THRIFT

The lady Of the house came into the
kitchen one morning just as the maid
set a pan of mullins into the oven "a
bake. Without meaning to spy, the
lady glanced at the table where the
bowl in which the mullins had been
mixed, stood. She noticed that there
was quite bit of the batter, sticking
to the spoon and on the sides of the
bowl. The maid started to pour cold
water into the bowl to let it soak when
her mistress said: "Why don't you
scrape the batter out and bake it p
"There is only little dab" said the
maid "and besides the muffin pans arc
as full as they will hold"
The mistress scraped the batter in
to patty pan, and it was noticed that
the amount was almost as much az
used for an ordinary-sized muffin.
"How many times do we have muf.
fms week, Nary" askd the lady
"Three times a week. biscuits once
cakes twice, and Johnnycake once.
replied the maid.
lido you always leave little dali
like this 2" asked her mistress.
~ guess do mann" was the reply
"Well. Mary. there are 81 weeks ir
,a year, and we have mullins three
times week, that makes three small
ones you throw away . week, 156 q
year, or 13 dozen mullins. Down al
the delicatessen store these same
mullins sell for 20 cents a dozen, that
makes $3.50 cents q year thrown in.
to the waste bucket on mullins, but
when these little dabs' are thrown
away in other things as well, canno,
you see how much is wasted, and how
useless it isl"

said the maid with tears. l" thinl

"Of course, $3.50 seems q very
small sum, but it IL the few cents herr
and q few more cents there that make
. big sum in the end. Couldn't yor
make good use Of $3.50 il you had It ?
The maid said she could. and never
afterwards did she throw anything
away unless she was sure it could
not be used some way. Little dabs'
were ever afterwards taken care Of
