NUMBER l8
MINERS STRIKE,

This from the Fayettc Tribune
states the situation as to the pro-
posed strike of the soft coal miners
throughout the country:
There seems slight prospect of
averting a strike of all the union
soft coal miners of the country on
November 1st. The strike order has
been issued by union officials. Mine
operators have ceased negotiations
so long as the strike order stands.
The Washington conference with
Secretary of Labor Wilson Tuesday
resulted in no action to stay the
strike. Other sessions are to be
held this week but there seems very
slight prospect of any agreement.
Government interference seems the
only recourse and neither side to
tn controversy is desirous of this
step.
In view of the fact that the New
River miners and operators recent
ly made new contract it has been
thought by many there would be
no strike here. Such is not the
case. New River and Kanawha
miners have the same strike orders
issued in Ohio and the central COM
petitive field. The Charleston
agreement goes into the discard.
While a majority of the miners are
optomistic and believe there will be
no strike the operators are of diff
ferent view. None of the union
mines will attempt to keep going i'm
defiance of union orders.
However the strike order will
not close all the mines of West Vir-
ginia. The NJ & w. region and
Guyan fields will continue in op-,
Grafton. A number of small coal
districts without organizations will
reap a harvest also.
1t is the contention of high union
officials that the Washington wage
agreement expired November, 1918,
when war hostilitics ceased and in
forcing new contract now they
are not repudiating their contract.

WYOMING'S MINERAL LANDS.

We are indebted to w. H. Yeager
for copy of the Wyoming State
Tribune from which we copy the
following interesting item:
The royalties accruing to the
State of Wyoming from leases on
mineral lands, which means chiefly
oil royalties, are now amounting TO
$4,000 every twentyfour hours.
Stated in another way, this is
S12O every hour, or SO every min
ute. This remarkable record cx-
isis with only a very few Of the
States sections Of land developed
for oil or coal, and with but two
or three wells drilled on sections
already known to be Intensely valu-
able for oil and capable of carry
ing one hundred or more wells
each, In the aggregate Wyoming
has over two million acres of land
scattered throughout the State. The
State has adopted wise policy
OF retaining its mineral lands and
having them developed on ROYALTY
basis.
No one can even conjecture the
amount of money that will pour
into the States treasury from those
sources in the future. 1t will build
up an endowment fund which will
not only sustain the public schools
and the university but will 20 a
long ways toward the Wyoming
State-Tribune's dream of taxless
State.

PERMITTED TO TRANSACT BUSINESS.

President Wilson was permitted
again on Oct. 22d to transact some
public business. After what his
physicians described as one of the
best nights he has had since his
illness began, he signed the amend
ments TO the food control act pro-
viding penalties for boarding and
profiteering in food and clothing
and three other measures of minor
Importance.
Yesterday the prohibition en-
forcement bill was returned to the
White House by the Department OF
Justice with an opinion as to its
constitutionality, and it is expected
that If the President shows no ill
effects from his work of the two
days before he will be allowed to
study the opinion and pass on the
bill. He has until midnight of Oct.
18th TO act before the measure be-
comes law without his signature.
The Presidents physicians an
nounced Wednesday that his tenn
perature, pulse and respiration
continued normal, and that his di-
geStion was more satisfactory.
DIR. Hugh Fl. Young, the Balti-
more specialist, who was called i'm
last week in connection with the
prostate complication, again came
TO the White House late Wednes-
day, his visit having been arranged
al the time of his last call. He was
accompanied by DR.. A. II. Fowler.

Rulers of New Germany Planning to
Smother It in Luxury.

ZURICH, March 90 Correspondence of
The Associated Press .-According to re-
ports reaching here from Berlin, the rul-
ers of new Germany have resolved to sur
pass all the efforts of their predecessors
in the exercise of official influence over

lin despatch says, will be devoted to the
offices of officials whose work will be that
of inspiring the press, and the remainder
will be transformed into luxurious club
rooms
There will be library, writing rooms

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to Put
on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase
Strength, Vigor and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations and
treatments which are continually being ad-
vertised for the purpose of making thin peo-
pie feshy, developing arms, neck and bust,
and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty, there
are evidently thousands OF men and women
who keenly feel their excessive tilinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due 20
starved nerves. Our bodies need more phos-
phate than is contained in modern foods
Physicians claim there is nothing that will
supply this deficiency we'll as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as btro-
phosphate. which is inexpensive and is sold
by the Brattleboro Drug sompany in Brattle-
boro and by most all druggists under guar
antee of satisfaction or money back By feed
ing the nerves directly and By supplying the
body cells with the necessary phosphoric food
clements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces
welcome transformation in the appearance

ishng.
This increase in weight also carries with il
a general improvement in the health. Nervous
ness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which
nearly always accompany excessive thinness,
soon disappear dull aeyes become bright. and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect
health.
.CAUTION:-Althorgh bitro-phosphate is

All over the south there have sprung

that the late Booker T. Washington ac.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-This
year marks the fftieth anniversary of
the founding of Hampton Institute,

next month The plan for the celebra-
tion cover the first two days of May,
and comprise the dedication of an au-

The semi-centennial of Hampton In
stitute is noteworthy. 1t is the oldest
and still one of the foremost industrial
schools in America where men and
women of the negro, Indian and other
dependent races can learn practical
trades by which to support themselves
and from which teachers are sent out
to all parts to become instructors
among their own people In 90 years
the institute has sent out more than
10000 graduates and undergraduates
to carry the I" Hampton spirit of la

carefully kept records show that more
than so per cent have kept the faith.
1t was Gen. Samuel Chapman Arm
| strong who at the close of the war be-
| tween the states conceived the idea of
! a practical education for the negro
and saw his dream come true in Hamp-
| ton Institute. Gen. Armstrong was
born in an environment that made it
easy for him to understand the emo
tional and simple negro race. His IA
ther, who was of Scotch Irish ancestry
went from Pennsylvania as a mission
airy to the Hawaiian Islands, and was
minister of education there for many
years. When the call came for troops
in the Civil war the younger Armstrong
left Williams college and joined the
federal army. At the close of the wal
he was placed in charge of the Freed
men IS bureau district THAR embraced
the ten counties about Hampton. Her,
it was that he realized the desperat,
need of the freed negroes and the ur
gent necessity for giving them a prae
teal training so that they might carr
their livelihood
The American Missionary societ,
came to Gen. Armstrong; aid, havin,

chased on the shore of Hampton Road

The first man asked to take charge o
it declined, and then Gen Armstron,

HSE DON'T KNOW what is
Ng the matter with this coun-
try that almost everyone wants
to change it. 1t certainly is to-
day better in many ways than
it has ever been. Naturally no
one has any objections to max
ing it still better. But people of
common sense hesitate to change
today's conditions for imported
ones that promise nothing but
disaster.
The country has greater pro-
misses of prosperity today than it
ever had before; the great mass
of working people live much bet
ter than in any other country
it is ridiculous to call any of them
wage slaves; any individual who
possesses the virtues of industry.
thrift and determination can adj
vance just as far as his capabil-
tiles will let him.
Yet when we listen to the rad
icals rant about 'our unjust and
rotten social system which is
numbering countless numbers of
working men every year." we
are almost convinced that some
thing is wrong not so much with
the social system and the govern
ment as with the radicals and
those who feed On radical propa-
ganda.
We do not see that the social
and industrial system is murder
ing workingmen. Instead we see
here in the Puget Sound district
| that under our present system
the workingmen are buying ex-
lrensive automobiles and their
wives sealskin coats.
They drive up to the labor
temple in these big, expensive
cars to hear some Im-a-red pity
them as wage slaves, and deplore
the fact that the poor dog of a
workingman gets nothing!
