1T should be made clear to the pub
lie that it is not contemplated by the
United States government to permit any
increase in the selling price of coal
to cover the II per cent increase in
wages decided by the Presidents cabi
net to be the proper amount to bring
the wages of coal miners up in keeping
with the increased cost of living.
In the negotiations between the
operators and the miners representing
the central competitive field, the prop
osition was made by the operators to
grant an advance of 20 per cent In
wages. believing that if this were done
the government would permit an in
crease in the price of coal as had been
done previously when wages were in
creased. This proposition was rejected
by the miners. and, upon the attitude
of the government being defined as OPP
posed to any increase in the selling
price, it was promptly withdrawn by
the operators who made it. ~

given their first lesson in par
tisan politics last night when

riculum of citizenship to be taught
through an open forum this winter
prior to casting their first ballot, prob
ably in November. 1920.
There were some male persons in
the audience. few identified with
partisan political machines, and they
opened their eyes in wonderment and
heard with amazement declarations.

the lips of party campaigners.
But if Will T. Hays, Homer S. Cum
mings and the chairman of the ma
tional socialist committee had heard
the argument advanced by the speak
ers for their respective political cam
pafgn organizations, mayhap they
would have sought the nearest friendly
gas let for permanent relief.

Have you ever sat alone with your
conscience, now that the war is over,
and listened to it's accusing voice?
To the charge that you failed to do
your duty in the biggest crisis that
ever faced your country?
Have you ever felt its pricks when
you passed a khaki clad Yank, home
from the front, minus an arm, a leg
or an eye? Limping along with the
support of a cane or crutch? Put
ting out stiff right arm to shake
your hand7
Have you ever looked back over the
last eighteen months and felt unmis-
takably down deep in your heart
that you failed miserably?
Many of us can do that if We will
but give conscience a chance
But it's never too late to mend.
And In this coming Victory Liberty
Loan we can put ourselves square
with our conscience If we will
Uncle Sam needs our money right
now just as much as he did year
ago. He wants to finish the job that
is all but done. Wants to protect his
honor in peace as he protected 1t in
war. Wants to pay his debts; debts
he contracted in order that the war
might be won. Wants to wipe clean
the slate and begin all over again
under brighter, better, more promis-
ing conditions than America has
known in half a century.
And If you have any qualms Of con-
science over your direliction Of duty
in the past here is a fine little chance
to put them to rest.
A chance to redeem yourself. to re-
store the self respect that will per-
nit you to look any wounded Yank in
the eye and claim comradeship.
A chance to enable Uncle Sam to
look the world proudly In the face.
A chance to vindicate American
honor, loyalty, patriotism.
A chance you cannot afford to neg
