MINERS ROBBED BY
COMPANY STORES

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. S.
When butter was selling in Chicago
at so cents a pound it was selling
in some of the Illinois coal mining
towns at 80 cents a pound. 1t is
said at the headquarters of the
United Mine Workers of America in
this city that the cost of living in
mining communities is higher than
anywhere else in the country. This
statement is based on figures and
reports received at the headquarters
from many mining towns. Coal
miners say that they are at the
mercy of retail dealers who charge
what they please for the necessar-
les of life which the miners must
buy, because there is no other mar
ket in which they can obtain the
goods.
This is pointed to by the min
ers as one of the strong reasons why
they are entitled to a substantial
increase in wages at the hands of
the commission appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson to investigate the btu
minous coal industry, fix wages and
working conditions and the selling
price of coal.
The miners are planning to pre-
sent to the commission full infor-
nation in regard to the increase
in the cost of living as it affects
the miners and their families They
will base their showing wholly on
the prices that are charged in min
ing camps and mining commune
ties, and they declare that the fig
ures will be revelation to the
public

WAGES
(By Chester w. Vonier.)

tBY chester W. NOnler.)
When a worker gets raise, you
can bet your life he pays for that
money half a dozen times or more.
1t is added to the price of his rent
or of his ice and to products at the
corner grocery store, Take the
miners raise in wage, it needs no
noted sage to discover what the
owners plan to do, For every buck
they give so that mining men may
live, they'll fix it so the public just
pays two. Then the man that runs
a store will just add a couple more
and blame it to the higher cost of
fuel. And the men who sell you
shoes will put on the well known
screws, and he'll blame the awful
unions as rule. All the profit
fellowship will be quick to take the
tip and they'll say with an apollo
getic smile, Eyes, we know the price
is hlgh, but you know the reason
why, these working men are ask
ing such a pile Everyone who
sees a chance to get in a price ad-
vance will lay the blame upon the
workers head, everyone along the
line will put up the same old
whine while they hike the price of
movies, meat and bread Every
buck the winner gets will at least
be quadruplets, in the hands of ev-
cry business buccaneer, for they
make lot of hay when they raise
a workers pay, each cunning little
busy profiteer.

THE WASHINGTON
TUBERCULOSIS
ASSOCIATION

SEATTLE, Jan. 3.-Dr. Raymond
J. Cary, who during the past sum
mer conducted a travelling clinic for
the Washington tuberculosis Asso-
citation, in cooperation with the
Anti-Tu tuberculosis Leagues Of the
State, has returned from a rest in
California to take up the perma-
nent work of clinician and diagnos-
tician for that organization.
DR.. Cary, assisted by tuberculo-
sis and public health nurses, visited
nearly all of the principal commu-
mites of the State, holding TB elm
les and consultations with local
physicians and appearing by request
before many Of the county medical
societies to speak on tuberculosis
and its related problems.
As medical adviser, specializing
in this branch of the profession,
Dr. Cary will be available in the
future for clinical work in all
places where called, will act in an
advisory capacity in sanatorium al
fairs, and will be at the service Of
the Anti-Tuberculosis Leagues in
the State for consultation in elm
ical or medical problems.
DR.. Cary is a graduate of the
Johns Hopkins University Medical
SCHOOL, and for ten years was en-
gagged as medical director of tuber-
culosis sanatoria, from which work
he was called to the tuberculosis di-
vision of the medical corps of the
army. His headquarters will be at
the office of the Association, 500
Securities Building, Seattle.

heartening feature of the situation
is that a change of nine votes would
have defeated the Cummins bill in
the Senate. while change of TWEEN
ty-three votes in the House would
have defeated the equally Objec-
tionable Esch bill.
With the country aroused as new
er before and militantly opposed to
this gigantic steal, the Congressman
and Senator who votes for the con-
ference report will have previously
made up his mind that he is ready to
retire to private life.

DON'T KNOW WHY 1T
ISN'T REFORMED

The American Equal Month Cal
endar Association, of MINNEAPOLIS.
has started the ball rolling for the
reformation of the calendar which
has been in use for centuries.
The people of the world have toll
Grated our old style calendar and
stood the loss and inconvenience of
its use for hundreds of years. be-
cause there has not been an organ
lied, concrete plan for its reforma-
ton in all this time. The following
descriptive matter concerning the
new calendar is taken from a card
issued by the above-named associa-
ton:
A certain doctors claims our
present calendar is a "ferocious
mess" and he is exactly right. A
more inconvenient arrangement
could hardly be conceived. There is
no regularity in its construction
and its months are of several diff
ferent lengths.
We absolutely MUST have a bet
ter method of measuring time, and
here it is.
This new Liberty Calendar will,
when adopted by Congress, give us
months of exactly four weeks each.
This is done in the following
manner:
First, New Year Day becomes an
Independent legal holiday. 1t is
not included in any week or month.
Second, another Independent legal
holiday, called Correction Day." is
provided for leap years. 1t is not
included in any week or month.
Third the remaining 1874 days
are divided into 10 months of eX-
actly four weeks each, every month
commencing with Monday.
Neither the number nor length of
our months is governed by the
moon or any natural law, hence
they can be changed as we see fit
The months in this new form are:
January, February, Liberty, March,
etc.
The use of the word Liberty" is
especially fitting, and in more ways
than one.
The advantages of this form can
not be over-estimated. The saving
of time and mental effort would be
immense All holidays and ami
versaries would always fall on the
same day of the week a promis-
sorry note given for any number of
weeks, months and years would al
ways come due on the same day of
the week it was given. This plan
also provides that Good Friday and
Easter Sunday shall always be OBJ
served on certain fixed dates. This
was contemplated when our present
calendar was adopted.
This splendid simplified form has
been approved by the highest au-
thorities. 1t could be adopted to
take effect on Sunday, the first day
of the year 1922, and the change
would cause scarcely any jar or
friction whatever.
A bill has already been intro
duced in Congress. Write your Con-
gresham to favor it.
This reform will benefit every
man. woman and child. Please help
it on.

House Up in Arms

Members of Congress who are
face to face with reelection con-
| tests are incensed at the leaders for
foisting upon them a bill so preg-
nant with disconcerting possibili-
ties. They realize that the city la
borers and the workers on the farm
are almost unanimously opposed to
any return legislation, and they
realize, too, that business will be
seriously disturbed when the full
import of the Cummins bill is fin
ally realized. That it will seriously
disturb industry is admitted.
If the Senate insists upon the
retention of the anti-strike provi-
sion, the conference report will face
bitter opposition when it comes
back for approval. Members of the
House realize that they will commit
hari-kari if they vote for it. And
it is equally certain that some of
the members of the Senate who
voted to send the bill to conference
will never vote it back unless it is
radically revised and its disastrous
provisions removed.
The outstanding feature of the
controversy is the position of dom
roiIrna1
has assumed in national politics. 1t
is the consensus of opinion here that
this issue will command command
ing Importance in the presidential
campaign, and political fortunes
will be made and unmade in it's de-
termination.
With more than 5,000,00O mem
bers of organized labor and larg-
er number of members of farm or
carnations arrayed against return
legislation, with full appreciation
of the fact that the pending legis-
lation, if approved. will add i'm
measurably to the cost of living,
with the treasury looted and the
nation robbed in higher taxes and
increased consumption costs, it is
not surprising that many shrewd
politicians in both Houses of Con-
gress look askance at the prospect
that has opened up before them,
Because of the dynamic poten-
tialities of return legislation, those
who advocate a retention of the
railroads for a period of at least
two years, to give government con-
troll fair chance. have more than
a fighting chance for victory,

Will Never Repay Money

Will Never Repay Money
The iniQuity of this provision was
Immediately manifest in the alacrity
with which some Senators who are
recognized as loyal to the railroad
interest sought to dsavow RESPONSE
bility for it.
Senator Sherman, of Illinois, who
is not as a general rule squeamish
when it comes to voting away the
rights of the people, could not
stand for the revolving fund. "The
fund is no creature of mine," he
said, "and | did not vote for it, 1t
is not a revolving fund; it is a van
ishing fund. 1t will go the way of
all other revolving funds. Not one
dollar of it will ever be repaid"
If any doubt fingers as to the
complete domination of the Senate
by Big Business" it was dissipated
by a study of the Congressional
! Record when the railroad bill was
{
under consideration.
The revolving fund amendment,
presented by Senator Freylinghaus-
en-, of New Jersey, VIGOROUSLY loyal
in his fealty to the interests, was
adopted with scarcely any debate.
When an effort was made to de-
prive the packers of their control of
refrigerator cars, which control
enables them to maintain their grip
on the nations food supply, the
Senate side-stepped, the champions
of the amendment meekly apollo
gized and then withdrew the OBJ
noXious provision.
| The only ray of light in so much
that is murky and sordid is the re-
Iuctance with which several Senat-
ors voted for the Cummins bill un-
der the spur of the party lash and
the insistent prodding of the Wall
Street lobby. 1t is now generally
conceded that had it not been for
the fear of losing the holiday recess
some of the Senators who voted for
| the bill would have resisted many
of its more vicious features.
A rather prevalent view was that
the bill should be sent to conference
in the hope that a more acceptable
agreement might be reached. 1t is
improbable that if the conference
committee adheres to the bill as it
left the Senate it will gain the rat
ification of either House of Con-
gress.

The housewife Of the present gen
GRAFTON and particularly of the past
year or so, during which money has
been rather plentiful has been de-
handing meats from one or two cuts
of beef; that is, cuts from the loin
for steak and cuts from the ribs for
roasts. This has created tremendous
demand for the loihs and ribs, leaving
an oversupply Of the major portion
Of the carcass, which the retailer must
dispose of at disadvantage, owing to
the lack of demand.
If Mrs. Housewife would take more
interest and specialize in her buying,
end would read carefully the articles
that have been and are being pub
llshed, calling her attention TO the
cheaper meats, she would realize a
substantial saving. She would soon
become convinced that there is excep-
tionally good meat In the round, rump,
petes, chuck, etc.
, In the olden days Mrs. Housewife
would call for chuck steak. round
steak, as we'll as an occasional porter
house. Mrs. Housewife now knows
only one steak, and that Is the porter
house, which is naturally the most ex'
penslve, as II is the most called for,
and 1t logically must stand the extra
expense. II is the world old law OF
supply and demand.
low many housewives know that
from the chuck they can get steaks
boiling beef, pot roasts and stew
meats? The carcass excepting the
loins and ribs) contains meats that
arv Just as appetizing, delicious and
nutritious as the more expensive cuts
which are the ribs and loins. Un.
fortunately. however, custom recently
has dictated that the ribs and loins
be considered the more popular. hence
the cheaper cuts have really gone out
OF their own
A few years ago the average house
wife usually called for q chuck steak
or round steak as a matter of courae
In fact, II was the daily diet and one
seldom thought Of ordering sirloin OF
porterhouse steak, except on special
occasions. A good comparison would
be that of ordering chicken or turkey
for every day of the week just because
II happens to be treat" or a special
delicacy. and II chicken or turkey
were thus ordered the outcome would
simply be higher prices, due to the
demand being larger than the supply

Among the many appetizing uses of
the chuck are roasts, steaks, pot

There has lately arisen such q re-
markable demand for one or two ex-
pensive kinds. of meats that people
who formerly were entirely satisfied
with what represents the less ex-
pensive portions never even think or
calling for them. At the same time

HOUSEWIVES BUY LAMB AND
MUTTON UNWIsELY.

The Eat More Lamb campaign which
is being conducted throughout the
country at the present time before col
leges, domestic science schools, wom-
ems clubs, various institutions public
schools, meat markets, etc., has
brought before the general public the
value of lamb as food product, but
especially has 1t demonstrated the
value and economy Of the cheaper cuts
of lamb which have been neglected. 1t
has been n contention of the retailer
for years that a great part of the
fore Quarter-the neck shoulder,
shank and breast-must be sold at a
loss or eventually reach the scrap or
bone box.
Some retail butchers bone out these
| cheap fore-quarter cuts, put them
through the meat grinder, season them
and mold them up into lamb patties,
putting a strip Of bacon around each
one leave them in the cooler over
night and sell all Of them next day at
good prices. Many butchers could sell
more than they can supply. The butch
er has thus turned into an asset or
profitmaker that portion Which has
heretofore been considered loss.
Steaks and roasts can be had from
the shoulder, lamb rolls from the neck,
breast and shoulder, and neck slices
are obtained by cutting the neck IN
sections crosswise. so that the meat has
the appearance OF chops and is q very
inviting dish when used as stew or
potted lamb en- casserole. The cheap
er cuts of lamb are made from the
breast, shoulder, shank and neck
which combined are about Is per cent
of the lamb.
Lamb is a healthful food for all peo-
pie Ii is very nutritious, wholesome
and palatable and in caloric value 1t is
equal or superior to any other meat.
The boned and rolled shoulder men,
toned above is used for roasting pur-
poses; 1t can also be cut to any de-
sired weight or can be sliced into
Saratoga chops.
United States government statistics
tell us that each year the average
housewife buys for every person in
her household only about pounds of
lamb as compared with about II
pounds of pork and 67 pounds of beef.
II all American families used lamb
one day week it would mean more
than 20 pounds of lamb annually per
capita, or four times the present con-
sumption.
More than that, the head Of the fam
lily, who pays the bills, would no doubt
