in the last eight hoNes of the match.
Miss Stirling played a fine 39 go

putt at the tenth, eleventh. twelfth,
fourteenth and fifteenth greens.
This squared the match for her.

sixtee<th, but it was for a five.
and Miss Stirling took hut ono Duff
at this green for a four making
her one up. She won the seven

INDIANAPOLIS, March 9. - The
United Mine Workers of America will
refuse to accept the findings of the
bituminous cal commission unless a

Unless settlement of the contro-
statement says, the miners will not
feel that full justice has been done
them" The bituminous coal commits
sion was appointed by President Will
son to work out a suitable wage scale
for the miners and report on any
plans for improving living conditions,
after the strike of miners had ended.
There has been a steady increase
in the cost of living since the first of
the year." reads the statement, "in
spite Of the fact that the government
represented to labor LIST summer that
living costs would be reduced and that
the government would see that this
was done. Further promises reduc-
tion in the cost Of living would fall on
deaf ears, as far as the coal miners
are concerned, because they have had
their experiences with such promises
in the past, all of which have gone
