No Trace Of Treasured

1t is regrettable that we know 40
little about King Hiram-from whose
seaport Of Tyre, 100 miles north of
Jerusalem, most of the material was
shipped for building the famous tenn
pie. Probably, like Solomon, he had
great stores Of jewels, but none Of
them has been preserved. and, as for
Carthage (called Tarshish In the Bible)
1t was destroyed so utterly by the
Romans that no identifiable relics of
the kind have survived.-Philadelph

WORKERS Dislike
NEW WAGE RULING
AWARDS MADE TO PACKING
HOUSE EMPLOYEES HELD

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Refusal to take
responsibility of accepting the In
creased wage award announced yes

STRICT RULES FOR
.'COAL FAMINE
CENTRAL REGION OF THE COUN.
TRY PLACED ON REDUCED
HOURS.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Government
agencies today awaited developments
in the coal strike situation, though
action was taken in widely separated
communities to make effective coal
rationing ordered by the fuel admin
istration
So far as reports were available
production in the bitumi nous field
dropped yesterday and today to lit
tie below the daily totals of the pre-
vious week, but this was expected.
Operators and others watching re-
suits were told that the government
intended to stand pat for the rest
of the week, taking no other steps
than those outlined by the rationing
order. until it was fully determined
whether public demand would in
duce mine workers to resume work.
In carrying out DR.. Garfield's
program for the maximum use of
local discretion in rationing coal to
meet emergencies and constantly
changing conditions, the st. Louis
regional coal committee ordered late
opening and early closing for retail
stores. In New York the Tidewater
Coal exchange ordered the cessation
of bunker coal supply for foreign
vessels. Elsewhere municipal au-
thorities took similar steps to con-
serve the diminishing coal supply.
In congress the situation was CIV
en- general attention. Senator John
son. democrat, of South Dakota, in
troduced resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury to re-
port the actual profits made by coal,
operators between 1916 and 1919,

administration ordered miners
wages increased IA per cent with
out allowing any increase on the
price of coal. Its immediate consid-
Grafton was opposed by Senator
Smoot, republican, of Utah, who sug-
gested that it go over for day or
two, as he believed concurrent ac-
tion by the house would be necessary
to justify publication of the figures.
Senator Thomas, democrat, of
SOlOId d0O, put iALO tHc IcCOIu du
open letter sent by him to President
Gompers, of the labor federation,
criticising the miners in strong
terms for theirswaikout.
''If this strike. is not conspiracy

words have no meaning. 1t is a
strike in name only. 1t is a vast up
heaval threatening alike the people
and their institutions"

WANTS BONUS
PAID ON GOLD
MINING MEN OF SOUTH DAKOTA
THINK GOVERNMENT SHOULD
sUBsIDIZE INDUSTRY

Lead, Dec. 4.--According to Con-
gresham Candy there is nj immedi-
ate prospect of congress enacting
remedial legislation to increase the
price which shall be paid for gold.
Owners of gold mines in the United
States, including the famous Home
stake Mining company in this city,
have furnished evidence showing
that because of the great increase in
the cost of carrying on mining OPP
eratlons, the present price of gold
does not give the mines fair return
and they have sought to have the
price increased to ITO an ounce to
those engaged in the production of
the gold supply of the nation.
: Congressman Candy. in a letter
to Lead man, states that investiga-
tion discloses that there is no i'm
mediate prospect of congress taking
action in the matter. A commission
appointed about a year ago to inves-
tigate the gold situation reported
that there was no need for artificial
stimulation of gold production, but
mining men of the Black Hills and
other mining districts do not agree
with the conclusions of the commits
sion.
Congressman Candy states thai
nevertheless its findings will doubt
less have great weight with the mem
bers of congress, SO few of who's,
members come from gold produc
| ing states.
| Gold mining interests doubtless
will this winter strive to induce con
gress to provide for the increase o.
| for bonus OF $40 an ounce.

ed struggle in which Gov. Frank o.

chamber indorsed President Wilson

vote and indorsed Vice President
Marshall for third term il he Is a

Under the Richards state primary
law the county delegations cast their

strength at the last state election,
and majority was necessary to in
dorse or nominate. Wood received
2S,599 votes from the republican
majority and Lowden got 15,442.
The necessary majority was 25,55S.
The republican convention was
turned into turbulent session. when
one faction halted a roll call on
presidential Endorsement and urged
that the county delegation withhold
their vote on that question. After
this move was defeated the support
ers of this plan. who were classed as
anti-Wood delegates, swung their
strength to Lowden.

licans nominated includes:
