COAL MINERS
DISSATISFIED
But Talk of Strike Among
Loyal Members of United
Mine Workers Is Less
WILSON'S TELEGRAM
ACTS AS A CHECK
One Mine Official Fears
Trouble As Result of
Award

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Aug. 3l.--Al.
though dissatisfaction was expressed
with the award of the anthracite coal
commission, made public yesterday by
President Wilson, strike talk was not
so general o-day among loyal mem.
bers of the United Mine Workers. The
award gives the men wage increases
of II and 90 per cent. They asked
for at least n per cent
President Wilson's telegram to a
group of miners saying that, if their
request to him not to approve the
award was a threat to strike, the chal-
lenge would be accepted, is expected
to cause dissatisfied workers to act
slowly, according to leaders.
Some miners, who are not acting in
harmony with the officers of the un-
ion, have been on strike, closing the
collieries of the Pennsylvania Coal
company and making 10000 men idle.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 3l.-The
award of the anthracite coal commits
sion, approved by President Wilson
yesterday, is characterized as "the
most reactionary decision that has
been made by an industrial tribunal
during the reconstruction period by
w. Jett Lauek, consulting economist
for the United Mine Workers. in a
statement made public to-day pre-
dieting trouble in the anthracite
field" as result of the findings.
The anthracite workers" he said,
ARE asked to accept minimum day
wage of S4.20 as contrasted with SO
per day for the bituminous miners
granted by the bituminous commits
sion, which, by agreement, is now be-
ing increased to $3.50 in Illinois and
S675 or 81 in Ohio and Pennsylyana."
The union, he said, would undertake
in all good faith to accept and enforce
the award.
"The price of anthracite coal to the
consumer should be reduced az a re-
suit of the award Lauck declared.
The anthracite operators advanced the
price of coal at the mines 81 per ton
effective April to protect themselves
against any wage increase.

MUSIC IN COST OF LIVING
Inhabitants Of DenseIy Populated
Flats in New York City Begin
to Take Alarm.

Opening windows on the first warm
days of the year bring a warning that
this will probably be the most musical
{eason New York has ever seen. says
tie Evening Star Of that city. The
apartment-house court has always
been cosmopolitan in its musical tastes
and prone to prodigallty in its volume
Of more or less musical sounds in
summer, and this time it appears that
not only are all the young men home
from the army but that the high cost
Of everything has also made the apart
ments more densely inhabited and
more continuously so than, ever before.
The magnets are lacking that once
drew folk away from home in the eve
ming. Beer is negligible as corner
attraction. The movies are more ex-
pensive and more tiresome. Soda
bears war tax paid by the dispenser
and also charged to the consumer.
Home has become a rather forced
haven for all and music is being over
worked in an attempt to relieve its
tedium.
This season we have with us, appar-
emily, not only the photograph and
the player piano-those resources of
the musical and unmusical alike-but
there is also an apparent return of the
child who practices on the piano.

WELL on ROAD, TO WEALTH
Farmer Undoubtedly Has q Great
Scheme Unless Some Indignant
Motorist Should "catch On"

Straight ahead lay long. straight
stretch of road, and the man at the
wheel Of the car settled down in his
seat. It was evident he was prepar.
ing for a sprint.
But before he was well under way
an honest-eyed old farmer stepped
from the roadside toward him and
held out OBTAINING hand.
"Thowt mebber ye would be a-goin'
to go full steam ahead" he remarked
casually when the car slid to stand
Still.
The motorist nodded in reply.
swell, just take a look through
these at that tree over the bend" went
on the farmer, producing an elderly
pair of field glasses, land happen ye'll
change your mind"
"Great Scott" exclaimed the motor
ist when the glasses disclosed blue
rousered figure perched on branch
II the tree. II say, thanks most
awfully!"
There was the sound of coin clink-
ing on coin and then the motor went
sedately down the road at about six
miles an hour. And at the beginning
of the clear stretch Of roadway the
honest-eyed farmer was counting his
cash.
'"The idea O. carting the old scare
crow from the orchard and perching It

other car approaching.-London Tit

Illuminated Traffic Cop.

With view to solving the difficult
ties that beset motorists and traffic
officers on Boston streets after night
fall the officers of the First motor
corps are conducting experiments
throughout the city to make traffic
handler visible to drivers as we'll as
TO pedestrians.
- An experiment demonstrated that
with the help Of three light bulbs,
which burn continuously, white bands
crossed on his breast and long white
gauntlets, a traffic officer can be seen
by motorists even at the busiest and
darkest of corners. -
One Of the lights is placed on the
traffic guards hat and the other two
on his shoulders. They are fed by
batteries in the pocket Of his over
coat. Both red and white lights have
been tried. So far the red lights seem
to be more satisfactory.-Boston

Portable Town Given France.

Many an American tourist will be
surprised this summer to find just out
side the war-tOrn city Of Lens, France,
a quaint Dutch village. The stranger
will learn that the village is a gift
from the people Of Holland to the re-
turning citizens of Lens. The houses,
all Of wood and of an ingenious, knock
down construction, are now awaiting
shipment from the Netherlands, where
the parts were sawed and fitted. As
sembled, they will shelter in comfort
500 refugees. When all the dwellings
are occupied, the Dutch government
will send landscape gardeners to lay
out flower beds and shrubbery in har-
mony with the buildings.-Popular

Plane Lands on Street,

Thousands of spectators lined the
curbs of business thoroughfare in
Oakland, Cal, some weeks ago as a
result Of the announcement that an
airplane was to land and take off from
the street. On schedule time the
plane appeared overhead, glided down
between the walls of the man-made
canyon and touched the pavement.
Skidding here on the slippery asphalt,
the plane grazed lamp-post, swerved
to the. curb and damaged its tail skid.
The accident was trivial, but served
as q warning to the authorities. who
promptly forbade the take-off.-fopu-
