Star Man At Guard.
At guard the Popular has one
player who is expected to be one Of
the shining lights Of the year. This
lad is Scott Walker q brother Of
Orb and a younEster who has been
a stellar all around athlete since his
early school days at Lamar. In add
ton to being one OF the best foot

and George ePi1 Legion. another
veteran star. Stanley shea, who
IS in the same category with

put Of bituminous coal being produced
the nation is facing its most serious
period since the strike Of soft coal
miners was ordered, according to re-
ports received today by the railroad
administration. In scores Of cities
the number of Industries in operation
is rapidly falling while the nations
coal bin continues to diminish.
Like the miners and operators,
whose troubles 1t was trying to adjust,
President Wilson'S cabinet last night
seemed hopelessly deadlocked on the
question Of a wage increase in the BIZ
luminous coal industry.
After 6-hour session, the cabinet,
which took up the wage scale agree
ment, where operators and miners left
off last week, adjourned until today,
when another attempt, with the aid of
Fuel Administrator Garfield, will be
made to agree upon pay scale that
will satisfy the mine workers and
owners and the people in all sections
Of the country, who are clamoring for
normal production of coal.
