to consider seriously a 3O-hour week or a
90 per cent advance in pay. While they will
no doubt offer an increase they are said to
be very carefully considering where the
money will come from and the effect this
increased cost in operation will have on the
future control of the mines The possibility
of federal control of mines is said to be re-
celving close attention, but such action will
be taken only as last resort and after full
discussion by the Cabinet
Perhaps by the time this article appears
in print, the terms of the operators counter
proposals will have been made public
Although the general coal strike was tech
nically revoked by John L. Lewis. acting
president of the United Mine Workers of
America, more than week ago, miners
throughout the central competitive district
have refused to return to work, pending the
negotiations of new wage scale in Wash
ington. This includes the extensive mines
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and considerable
portion of Pennsylvania. Kansas mines also
are idle, although the mining properties of
Crawford and Cherokee counties have
passed under the control of the State, and
Governor Allen has made personal appeal
to the men to return to work. On the other
hand a large per cent of the mines in West
Virginia and other parts of the South and
West are again in operation.
On November Is, it was stated that 1906
trains had been discontinued on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul lines since the
strike went into effect 1t was also stated
that curtailment of railroad service will be
followed, if necessary, by the shutting down
of minor industries as fast as their present
supplies of coal are exhausted, and that coal
will be released only to railroads, public
utilities and househo1ders
Mr. Walker D. Hines, Director General
of railroads, on a visit to Chicago last week,
is quoted as having said:
There is no embargo on freight contem-
plated. The production of coal is nearly 80
per cent normal and while roads are using

COUNTRY AWAITS OUTCOME OF
MINERS AND OPERATORS CON-
FERENCE AT WASHINGTON

Officials of the United States Mine
Workers of America met in conference
with mine operators at Washington on
November IA, Secretary of Labor Wilson
presiding, in an effort to negotiate settle
over the country.
Secretary Wilson, who once was coal
miner, in strong opening address, delivered
slowly and apparently with deep feeling and
conviction, plainly condemned as impossi-
bic the miners demands for 3O-hour week,
which, he said, could not be tolerated in the
face of the urgent necessity for maximum
production, and for 90 per cent wage adj
vance, in view of the fact that while the cost
of living has risen close to 70 per cent since
1914, the pay of miners has been raised
from IS to 50 per cent in that time Fig
ures cited by Mr.. Wilson indicated that he
would regard a wage advance of 80 or 40
per cent, reasonable.
Mr.. Wilson condemned as equally unrea-
sonable the attitude of the operators, who,
technically justified in holding the miners
to their unexpired contract, must recognize
the justice of granting relief to the miners
on the basis of increased cost OF living. He
declared that the people of the United
States are not Shylocks and would not in
sist upon the technical fulhllment of the
contract when conditions under which that
agreement was made are materially changed.
The Secretary expressed the opinion that
the public would willingly endure an in
crease in the price of coal to cover rea-
sonable wage advance, but declared that the
government would not tolerate any unfair
boosting of the cost of fuel to consumers.
At present writing, no definite agreement
has been reached in the conference. The
miners again presented their demands for a
3O-hour week and 90 per cent advance in
pay, in the opening sessions. The operators
have asked for an extension of time in
framing their reply. They are not disposed

AERIAL FLIGHT FROM ENGLAND
TO AUSTRALIA

The Australian government has offered
prize of $4,000 in the reliability aerial flight
from England to Australia, which began on
November Is.
The conditions of the flight are that the
distance of 1880 miles must be covered
within thirty days. Several English aviators
entered the contest. Lieutenant R. M.
Douglas and Lieutenant J. S. L. Ross, his
navigator. the Australian entrants in the
flight, were killed shortly after they began
their journey from Hounslow, England.

LOCAL ITEMS
&C. B. W.

In letter received during the past week
from person who is not member of Zion
the writer says: II am more than pleased
with Leaves of Healing and The Theocrat.
They give no uncertain sound as to the
Coming of the Lord This question has
been my study since the light of Gods Word
first broke upon me in the Fall of 1885, and
your papers bear more faithful testimony
to this doctrine than anything which I
have read in all these years."
A lady to whom relatives in Zion City
have been sending the Leaves of Healing
for many years, and who never before ex-
pressed any interest in the papers, writes:
"My dear niece continues sending me
Leaves of Healing, which I read and enjoy
very much. | also pass them on for others
to read. You would be surprised to know
the influence the Leaves of Healing have
here"
Zion Plumbing, Heating and Sheet Metal
Department has lately installed furnaces for

Elder Reder west of the electric line In
addition furnace has been sold to Mr.
Peter Noteboom of 1904 Elijah avenue
Plumbing also is being done in the new resi-
dence of E. A. Klawonn at 2o22 Gabriel
avenue.
In a set of new rules, effective December
10, sent out to the public by the American
Railway Express Company, it is required

tons or wooden boxes when weight exceeds
Is pounds Damaged cartons, showing the

The General Overseer, on last Lords
Day, in Shiloh Tabernacle, said: II am glad
that the daily papers throughout the United
States and Canada are copying the bulletin
boards which we recently erected along
Elijah avenue, and also commenting upon
them. / am going to erect lot more bulle-
tin boards over this city and put sermons
on each one Of them"
