was talking to Z. D. Steinman,
the Burgess-that is to say, the
Mayor-of Fayette City. In addition
to being chief executive of his town
and leader in all things social and
political, Mr.. Steinman owns the
only weekly paper, does job printing
and sells stationery.
A lunatic supposed to have been
responsible for some of the fires had
been captured the night before, and
into the combination editorial sane
tum and store came young woman
to learn about it. Despite her youth
fulness her face was pale and
drawn.
"Well, now, you'll be able to sleep
all right now the Burgess sooth-
ingly told her. 'They think they've
got one of the men, anyway. Saw
him myself last night before they
took him to Uniontown. Probably

young woman. "I didn't close my

She suddenly noticed there was a
third person in the room and re-
treated through the door nervously,
without finishing the sentence.
"We've all been rather nervous
hereabouts lately" the Burgess ex-
planned soberly. "I've not been go
ing TO bed myself until or 2 o'clock
In the morning. This place is only
frame, and wouldn't take long to
burn. So I kept guard myself each
night for while. But there have
been good many people in this
place who didn't dare TO 90 to bed

Sleep Only by Day

when did they sleep?'' I inquired.
'In the daytime. Those who could
just changed things around so they
did their work at night. Any num-
ber OF families did this. It was in
convenient, but better, perhaps. than
lying awake in bed all night, fearing
every minute to find yourself
trapped in flames"
Sheer hysteria, you will say, but
understandable. For six months,
with short intervals Of quiet in be-
tween, these fires and attacks on
persons and property had continued.
One had to consider the accumula-
tive effect and the character Of the
country. A schoolhouse or barn
means little in New York or Pitts
burgh but ii great deal in such iso-
lated communities as dot the coal
and coke country. Then, too, there
was the battling nature Of the
depredations. In the dead Of night
structure would suddenly be
found In flames, with plenty OF evil
dences Of incendiarism. but--with
the exception Of the lunatic already
mentioncd--with never any one to
connect with the crime.

Pennsylvania virtually extends

Pennsylvania virtually extends
through three counties--Washing-
ton, Westmoreland and Fayette, al
though most of the ovens and the
mines are in Fayette. It was in this
county, too, that most Of the fires
and the outbreaks took place.
In Fayette County virtually all

Poles, Czechs, with Italians proba-
bly, next in numbers.
Between these and the country
in which they happen to find them
selves there is very little affinity or
kinslip. They live among the hills
and in the picturesque country, but
do not belong to it. Their homes
are frame structures, painted either
red or a dreary gray, and you can't
tell one from another. Each is ex-
actly like the rest, and seen from
the roads which wird above they
look like Implications in double sets
Of mirrors Of the same object re.
produced to infinity.
The houses in the camps are
owned by the companies working the
tunnels and the ovens, and as they
are among the hills, and difficult of
access by rail, the easiest way to
reach them is by motor.

Resent School Order

There was bitter resentment,
therefore, when the school authori-
ties recently issued orders directing
that these boys be sent to school,
and some OF the parents openly de-
fed the truant officers.
Fourteen Of the parents we're ar
rested and fined for failure to obey
the law, and as it was about this
time that the mysterious fires be-
gan to attract attention. it was natu-
rally argued by some that resent
n,cl.t over the enforcement of the
education law and it's consequent re-
duction Of the earning capacity Of
the families had something to do
with the confagrations.

Do you realize what is upon you?

own protection
You know from your experience that
there is constant fight between the
workers who york for wages and the
capitalists who are In business to make
big profits and to build up great for
tunes for themselves. You know that
the capitalists have always tried to
keep your wages as low as they could
and your hours OF working as long as
they could. You know that the strug-
gle between the workers and the bosses
over wages and working conditions has
resulted in thousands Of strikes.
During the war you were able to get
better wages and win improvements in
your working conditions, because the
capitalists needed every worker to win
the war. The increase in wages didn't
really improve your position, because
the capitalists took back from you in
high prices more than you got in in
creased wages.
Now things are changing.
Business is slowing UP. The boom
period of the war is at m end. We
are facing hard times. Hundreds Of
thousands Of workers are already out

The cost Of living hasn't come down

We had a fairly definite hint of

reported from there recently.
As the automobile felt its way

choking smoke thrown off from thou

odd rumors Of an impending "war
