The Miners Program
(St Louis Renuhlic(

est. Louis Republic)
 The decision of the miners convention to demand to per cent increase in wages, six-hour day and five-day week is backed by the announcement Of all the soft-coa miners in the country will be called November 1 if settlement is not reached. It is to be noted, however that this formidable program is not final The officers of the union will negotiate agreement with the owners and take that agree ment back to the convention. which will be reas- sembled in Indianapolis to consider the contract, whatever it may be.
 The desire to furnish work to all miners all the time is the for the approval of the short day and week by the convention, and this is certainly a laudabe desire, but in the long the problem will not be solved that way. Higher wages and less work higher prices all around, and coal, being product of universal importance, will affect the cost of the contents of every market basket and every fireside in the country.
 Such program that which the miners have outlined, if generally adopted, would reach far be- yond the borders of the country and curtail Amer ican trade wherever it goes.
 Higher prices and falling trade would of course, he reflected in unemployment, which, according to the miners program, would be met by still shorter hours and fewer days in the week-another exam pie of the vicious circle.
 A high rate of production and terms such that labor gets its fair share of the product is what is needed for the prosperity of labor and the country at large

 EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

The time has come to think of Christmas and the hohday shopping. The one who shops early is wise He gains in many ways In the first place the early purehaser avoids the rush and turmoil of the holi- day occasion, and can inspect his purchases and make decisions with level head Then he will dis Tioute the cost in such way that the expense may De more easily borne. And the early purchaser has the frst pick in the stores, and he makes the bol
 ua' task easier for the storekeeper and clerks He uaoes under circumstances where he can make f,,l use of the judgment and taste of those in tbe hue; hess' because the merchant and salesmen will have ime to discuss purchases with the purchaser if he buys early N

Why does man who sheds dan druff like snow usually insist on wearing dark clothing?
 A little observation will soon con vince you that most people are will ing to do the grunting while you do the lifting.
 A man never pins anything that he can button. And woman never but tons anything that she can pin.

 Most men are optimists in that they do not care much what happens as long as it doesn't happen to them. When a man is married and carry ing life insurance he isn't nearly as willing to die for his wife as he was when they were counting.

Fortunate are those women and
misses who have not yet purchased
their full quota of winter-time wear
ables-for now they may purchase
really good coats, suits, and dresses,
at price that would have been i'm
possible but few weeks ago.
The reason is this: Despite
general impression to the contrary,
there is great amount of over-pro-
ducton in the garment industries,
manufacturers are in many In
stances, glad to unload. y The
Wright organization possessing vast
purchasing power through its four
store combination invariably secures
the best offerings from these makers
of women's apparel when they are
confronted with the necessity of dis
posing of stocks. We have pur-
chased and chosen carefully of the
many linesd rendered and have
brought together such an assemhlage
Of suits, coats and dresses as to
make it possible to feature a sale of
which we may be justly proud.
These additional purchases plus
selections from our regular lines has
placed at your disposal hundreds Of
garments in dozens and dozens of
styles.
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1919-11-28

The coats pictured here, are
only a few of the many charming
styles included in this sale. Ma
terials are Frostone, Silvertone.
Velour, Heather mixtures, fabric
Furs, Plush, and Broadcloth. Some
are full lined. some are half lined
but all are snugly interlined and
snug as can be. There are coats IN
short and full length models, includ-
ing some trimmed in Fur.
The best browns, the new blue.
oxford and light grays, burgundy
all the col6rs that are shown IN high
er priced coats and wraps. Black
coats, too. And since your coat
must do service on countless occa-
slons throughout the winter and
early spring season it should lie
chosen with an eye to utility as well
as beauty. So let the color be be-
coming and the model conservative.
Then you will not tire of it but
whichever of these coats you may
choose you will have dependable
and serviceable garment at much
less than you had planned to pay.
1t will be advisable to shop early
Saturday at Wright's. We have
planned and arranged our stock SO
as to give the shopper easy access to
the merchandise featured.
