SIX=HOUR DAY; FIVE
DAYS A WEEK.
The Solution For The Timing indus
try, Says Frank harrington,
President of Illinois Miners.

in their midst and threatening their
future. True, it is hoped that indus
trial activity temporarily suspended,
will soon resume a normal status and
that the surplus of coal now above
ground will soon be consumed and
the situation thus be relieved, but
even that will not cure the evil from
which mine workers suffer most and
the reason it will not is because the
mining industry is fully so per cent
over-developed, which means that
there are fully so per cent more men
employed in the mines of the United
States than are necessary to supply
the normal demand for coal So long
as that condition exists unemploy
ment will exist and work will be best
where wages are lowest, as the de-
mand for coal will be largely supplied
for districts where it can be pur-
chased the cheapest with the newt
able result that wages in districts
having higher wage scales will always
be threatened by lack of employment.
Therefore, we must create condition
whereby districts having low wages
will have no advantage over districts
having high wages when it comes to
the number of days worked. Or in
other words, we must create a con-
dition whereby low wage scale will
be of no competitive value to an op-
orator when it comes to getting a
market for his coal, and the only way
that can be done is to create condi-
tion that will make it necessary to
work practically all the mines full
running time in order to supply the
demand for coal, and the only way
that can be done is by reducing the
hours of labor, and our salvation is
in our ability to do so. Our goal
should be a six-hour day, five days
per week, for all the miners in the
United States with no double shift
work on the coal allowed, except as
necessity may require and develop
ment for increased tonnage should not
be considered a necessity. Every atom
of strength of the United Mine Work
ers of America should be employed
to accomplish that end and then we
should strive to have the government
prevent the opening of any operations
except as new operations may be
needed to supply the demand for coal
If this is done every mine worker will
then have a decent chance to earn a
decent living and the matter of equal
izing and adjusting wages will be
easy of accomplishment, and until II
is done unemployment and consequent
want and suffering will ever be pres.
ent among the mine workers of the
United States.
Yours truly,
F, HARRINGTON,
President"

EXCURSIONS

Broadway, Cincinnati, is the big
port of embarkation" these days,
as the overseas veteran would say.
And out of that port, each Sunday,
sail the palatial steamers, the Island
Queen and the Morning Star, on the
most wonderful of Springtime river
rides.
The Island Queen ramps up the
river to the port of New Richmond
each Sunday, leaving Broadway at 10
o'clock A. NJ. and again at 2:30 O'Clock
P NJ. At eight o'clock she sails out
of the same port each Sunday evening
on her moonlight iounts up and down
the river
The Morning Star has the run to
Lawrenceburg and Aurora this year.
She leaves Broadway for those two
ports twice each Sunday, the first
trip beginning at $50 o'clock A. NJ.
and the second at 4 o'clock P. NJ
Stopovers are granted without extra
charge
One of the big features of the sea

ing Staring, so to speak, is the music

BARRIERS Active
All But Five Shops In The

The members of old No. 1875, Bar

these days. Out of total number of
fifty barber shops in the city, all are
organized and display the card with
the exception of five. This certainly
speaks well for the BARRIERS union. The
five shops not displaying the card are:
The Atlas Hotel Shop, and the ones
at Is Main St, Is North B ST., 428
Sycamore ST., and Central Ave, and
Chestnut SITS. One of these shops
the BARRIERS say, they wouldn't have,
two of them they don't want and are
not stuck on having the other two.
The BARRIERS say there is certain

that element is side-stepped by the

Frank Harrington, president of the
District No II, United Mine Workers
of America, has just issued circular
letter to the Illinois Miners which
suggests Six-hour Work Day or a
Thirty Hour Week as solution for
keeping the miners employed.
The letter is herewith reproduced
so that the miscellaneous organiza-
tions may know what the miners have
in mind to overcome unemployment
and suffering among their member
ship. The letter follows:
ITO the Officers and Members, Dis
trict No. u, United Mine Workers of
America.
Greeting before has there
been a time when it was so necessary
that the workers of America keep
their heads as it now is and will be
during the days that are ahead; nor
has the past ever held such possibiii-
ties of success as does the future if
they do.
When our country was at war and
the call to service was sounded the
organized workers were in the fore
front of every patriotic movement
and answered every call to service
with promptitude, generous and full.
Things of ordinary concern were laid
aside and every patriotic worker cast
his all into the crucible of war to
establish democracy and justice in the
government of nations. Now that
warfare has ceased and peace between
nations is in the making it becomes
our right and duty to turn back to
the problems of every day life and to
devote our time and our energy to
the establishment of democracy and
justice in industry.
The problems before us are mighty
and vital and hard of solution We
Icannot hope to settle them by spor-
adic action or lunatic rebellion. The
flame of Bolshevism that, for the
time, is spreading its poisonous vapor
Throughout the world and Turing men
to folly sand disaster will be of no
Hawaii Instead, it viii take a hard,
Isteady, united pull if we are to sue
Iceed.
With the signing of peace terms
Twill come the termination of our wage
lagreement and it behooves us to give
Thought to the coming of that day and
lin order that we may be best pre-
pared it is wise that we give up the
chase of fleeting theories and begin
to think of things as they really are.
The problems of that time will not
be theoretical, but real and hard and
cold and they will be solved not by
what we may desire nor by the ap-
plication of theories or disorderly ac-
ton, but by conditions as they really
are or as we may be able to change
them. So it is that we must of nee
essity keep our heads and apply sober
clear thought and practical, united
action to the problems if they are tC
be solved in way that will give US
the best results.
| The great evil of mining is the lack
ef employment and the absence Of uni
! formity in wages paid as between

BENNETT STARS IN

Three famous stars appear in the latest Paramount Mack Sennett com edy, She Loved Him Plenty" that will be displayed at the Coliseum Theatre on Sunday They are Ben Turpin, Polly Moran and Charles Lynn, and in addition there are Mar je Provost and Ed Kennedy, and all of them have congenial roles, the portrayal of which is provocative of more laughs th'n I have been heard at that play4ouse in many weeks.
 This is a charming story of life in a pawn shop, into which love, jealousy and dire revenge are in jected by these irresistible fun-mak- CTS with the happiest results. The comedy is said to be a scream from beginning to end, wholesome and re freshng to iaded audiences seeking healthful relaxation.

That makes it necessary for Madge to give up her moving picture work and she is seen saying goodbye to all the World stars al the studio and to MT. Brady himself This gives the opportunity for some strikingly interesting pictures of the studio, with the actors at work, scenes being taken, and all the stu dio activities in full swing.
 So very realistic is the picture that many people who see "The Volunteer" will really believe that Madge is actually giving up her screen career and these people will Lot realize that this production is the most realistic sort of make-be, lieve.
