years, months and % days. He had
continuously resided in Potosi from.
the date of his birth to his death. The.
funeral took place Thursday after;
noon and was under the auspices Of.
the M w. A. of which order he had!
been member for many years. The
funeral services were held at the
house and were conducted by Rev. D..
B. Wells of the Congregational church
and who also off1ciated at the burial.
The interment was made in the Brit.
ish Hollow cemetery. He was a.

his daughter who gave him every
care that loving and devoted daugh-
ter could give an afflicted parent. Mr..
Swale carried $1,000 life insurance in
the Woodmen and named his devoted
daughter, Grace, his sole beneficiary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-Defend;ng
bituminous coal miners demands for
a thfrty-hcur week and a GO per cent
increase in wages. John L. Lewis, act
ing president of the United Mine Work
ers or America, declared in a Stateme mt
tonight that the present number of
miners could produce 50.0o0OOO tons
OF coal. the estimated requirement. of
the country for 1920 on the six-hour-
day basis.
The head OF the miners union sum-
married. in his statement evidence to
be placed before the coal strike set
tlement commission tomorrow when it
resumes it's hearings
What the miners really mean is that
they be assured OF at least thirty hours
WORK week during the year" Mr..
Lewis said. They want to get away
from the present system under which
they may find forty-eight hours en-
ploYmcnt one week and none the next.
One of the great troubles of the coal
miners has been lack of employment.
The average number of days worked
per year in the central competitive field
since 1913 was zoo 1-2. a man cannot
earn enough in 2061-2 days to keep
his family for 365 days.
There is still another reason. Min

as continuously as those employed
