KEEPING THE MINES OPEN

Better than all the conferences,
commissions and boards that Presi-
dent Wilson has called to settle the
controversy between miners and op-
orators is his order to government de-
partments to lay in large supply
of coal during the dull season. This
will do much to keep the mines oper-
ating at normal capacity, especially
if the example is followed by states
and municipalities throughout the
country.
The greatest and best-founded OF
the miners grievances is that every
summer large numbers of them are
laid off for several months. The only
possible remedy for this is to create
a demand for coal during the sum-
mer that will make it necessary to
keep the men at work the year round.
No matter how much wages are
raised and hours shortened, the men
will not be satisfied until they have
steady jobs.
The most timely action that could
be taken has been outlined by the
President. Let those who can, sup
ply themselves with winter coal dur
ing the spring and summer months
and the mines will be kept open and
the miners at work. The man who
has a steady job which pays reason
able wages is far less eager to listen
to the labor agitator than the man
whose wages may be high but who
knows that they are intermittent and
that he must soon take an enforced
vacation.
The necessity for steady employ
ment is far more urgent than any
other demand, and it must be met be-
fore any permanent agreeme mt can

winch the miners and the operators
can be brought into harmonious re-

coal mines can come only when they
are kept open all the time.

she does not speak to me. I don't

this unfriendIyl attitude Possibly you
have unintentionally done or said
something at which she has taken Of

Dear Mrs. Thompson: What would
you do if you were a young man and
in love with a girl, and she was a
girl whom you were afraid to offer
your love? How would you show
her you loved her? PUZZLED.
It is unfortunate that you have SO
little confidence in yourself. As long
as you feel this way people will not

faith in yourself and court the girl
