distribution to the retail dealers nee
essarlly must be administered by the
railroad administration in pursuance
OF the orders already made by the
United States Fuel Administration in
carrying out the prorities which have
been prescribed under the Lever act"
Officials were hopeful day the ad-
vance OF Ia per cent in mine workers
wages would result in getting some
o the men back to work, especially in
view of the fact that coal operators
generally were backing Up the offer.
But at the same time it was said a
period of several days would be re-
quired before the effect of this could
be determined
Production Holding Its Own
The Railroad Administration was
without production figures day. but
reports 10 the National Coal Associa-
tion indicated that. with the exception
Of several fields in West Virginia and
one in Maryland, production so far has
suffered no reduction because Of the
failure here of negotiations between
The representatives OF The mine work
ers and the operators.

be completely shut down In the Fair

reported at between so and 55 per cent

The miners belong to the United Mine
Workers. production had been normal
up 70 Thanksgiving.
Since the association had an under
stand NJ with men bers that any change
in their fields should be reported
promptly 10 Washington, officials here
ielt safe in assuming that these fields
had not bcen affected by the break here.
Operators here were confident to

Dcfections Due to Ag'tators
The defectiors in the West Virginia
and Maryland fields were described to-
night to be due to agitators who ap-
peared last Friday and urged men
about to go to work not TO do so, These
facts have been given to the Depart
ment OF Justice but no action has been
taken upon them so far
The operators had heard reports,
par icu-ariy from Kansas, that the

such q strike might be they did aot
know In any case, prompt efforts will
be made by the operators and the gov

As 70 reasons for boils-well, their
owners say they're absolutely unrea

warning, crop out where they P-ease

origin is really mystery =. :
West Philadelphia physicians say 1t IS
foolish for any one to say "hat CAUSES
boil. They are due to run down SEs'
TEN, high living, dissipatlon' u 'u'neu
in hair and 1S6 other causes.
Married folks in that section say
however, that their particular Dolls are
not due to high living. In fact many
declare they are due to low living ana
the unreachable prices of food.
Just why the boils select West Phil
adelnhis for their attack is beyond med.
ical calculation. One physician said
that worry over house rentals there
together with the high cost of food
might have combined to cause run
down constitutions; hence the boils.
Incidentally there has been a demand
for poultices and the old d-tashloned
home remedies. The only ones not boil
ing with wrath are the druggists.
They're getting out their old boil cures
yes, and selling them at boiled prices.
The boils are no respecter OF sex.
They adorn the swan like neck of pretty
"stenogs" as we'll as the brawny necks
OF the coal HEAVIER. Boils are boils,
regardless of geographical or social To-
cation.
