Coal Miners Strike.
About 100000 Men Said To
Have Quit Work.

The great strike in the soft coal re-
gions of the country went into effect last
Sunday, and it is stated that at least
three fiji tbs of the country's supply Of
soft coal has been cut off. and at least
4OO, 900 men quit work and are idle.
Coal for use in the country must come
from nonurion mines, principally. while
the strike is on and until settlement is
reached.
United States soldiers are being held
readiness and have been sent to mining
districts where it is thought trouble
would be started.
The strike has effected railroads and
large manufacturing plants, and caused
curtailment of the use of soft coal gem
orally over the States.
1t Ia said that 80 engines on the West
ern Maryland railroad are at Hagerstown
Idle. ard that an average of six men to
the engine are out of employment. This
road hpuls great amount of soft coal
flom Maryland and W. Virginia mines,
and now hat the miners at these mines
have quit there is no coal to haul. Other
CO. hauling roads are in the same posi-
tipnr
How long the strike will continue de-
ponds much on how long the men stick
tog ether ard refuse to go to work.
Reports from various regions differ;
at some places the men already show
sie ms of weakening.
Coal in transit is being taken care Of
by Government officials and will be al

Fourteen Reasons Why You
Should Join The Red Cross.

lst. Because it is 1.-The Greatest
MOTHER in the World" and the mother
instinct is strong in every woman.
End Because it is organized, mater
ial sympathy.
3rd Because it is the heart of Ameri-
can people.
4th. Because it served our fathers,
husbands, brothers, sons and sweethearts
when they needed service most. 1t did
what we would have done if we could
have been there; it was our proxy.
9Th. Because it meant home, care and
comfort when these things were out of
reach.
9th. Because it has made a point of
aiding the little ones.
7th. Because it has been the center
of family life to thousands of families
whose main support was taken away.
9Th Because it has taught US that
the greatest pleasure in life comes from
helping someone less fortunate.
9th. Because it fills gap in our
national life which nothing else can fill.
10th Because it has opened vide the
heart-and the purse ola people. nation
ally selfish.
lltb. Because it is always there"
when call for help comes.
18th. Because, to be entirely personal
it is ready to go on teaching us how to
be better and more useful in our own
homes home nursing, dieteties, first aid.
18Th. Because it has become symbol
for GOOD.
18th. Because it is ceaseless, untjring,
unstinted, undenominational, unprejudic-
ed far-seeing, and international in its
efforts Of what other agency is this
true? No worthy cause is ever too much
trouhle, too far away, too costly, for it
to III dertake; it can always be depended
upon and it has grown to be a natural
part of living, and part which cannot
be easily up-rooted.

The Liquor Situation As It
Stands.

Because of the confusion which exists
in many minds over the status OF pro-
hibition legislation in the light of recent
epactments, vetoes, ETC., few PLAIN
statements of fact regarding the situa-
ton might prove enlightening. .
First of all, the nationwide Constitu
tional amendment, ratified by the neces-
sary three fourths of the States on Janu-
ary l6, 1919, will 60 into effect on Janu-
airy l6, 1920.
Under this amendment the manufac-
ture, importation ard sale OF intoxicat-
ing liquors for beverage purposes will
be forever barred.
Enforcement legislation has now been
enacted by Congress providing any spirit
Gus. vinous or malt liquor containing
| more than one half of one per cent. OF
alcohol shall be,regarded as Intoxicating.
| Meanwhile statutory wartime prohibi-
ton, enacted just before the armistice
was signed, went into effect last July !.
This legislation is to reL ain IN effect
until the President by Executive procla-
nation declares that the army has been
demobilizcd and peace has returned.
in an announce ment TO the cOuntry
the President gave notice that upon the
ratification of The treaty of peace with
Germany, he would HIT the wartime
prohibition ban against the sale of liquor
not waiting tor the ratification of the
treaty with Austria.
Until this comes to pass, however,
wartime prohibition will remain in opera
| ton and enforcement legislation has now
gone into effect which puts the country
upon a straight bone-dry basis.
This enforcement Legislation was pass
J ed by Congress II days ago, sent to the
White House and was vetoed by the
! President
Three hours later the House, by q vote
! of l76 to SIS. lasscd the enforcement
measure over the Presid n'isl veto end
the Senate OVERRIDE the veto by vote
of 65 to 20.
Enforcement legislation. therefore, is
to be delayed no longer and the machinery
for carrying out the law is automatically
trs nsf.rred from the Department of
Justice to the Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue.. Treasury Department.
If the veto had been sustained in
either House of Congress the enforce
ment legislation would rave been dead
and the two bodies would have had to
bt gin the reconstruction of an entirely
new measure.
The wartime Prohibition act as origin
ally passed provided no legal definition
for the term Intoxicating liquors" and
certain Federal courts. notably that in
Baltimore, ruled that 2. rs per cent. beer
was not Intoxicating and, therefore, not
prohibited.
The enforcement act, however, defines
Intoxicating liquor as that having an al
/ cohoic content of more than one-half of
one per cent. and the court decisions
were wiped out when the Senate con-
cure in the House veto action.
Fro m this time on 2.75 per cert. beer
is an illegal product and can no more be
sold than whisky or brandy.
Private ownership of Intoxicating
liquors is lawful if the goods were ac-
quired !,gally and if they are kept and
served in the home. This is true of both
wartime and Constitutional prohibition.
Also it is lawful to manufacture wine
or cider for home use, although both
may contain alcohol.

In MemOrlam.

In memory of Mrs. T. C. Stocksdale
who departed this life October n. 1919.
Why dear Lord did she 60 from us

And her heart go wandering home?
She was always helping others
Always doing what she could,
No more suffering, no more toiling,
Gone to live with Christ for good.
Amen.
