Strikes
Indianapolis, July 27.-Onicias of
the United Mine Workers of America
tonight were awaiting reply from
the coal operators association 10 q
telegram sent late today requesting
an immediate joint conference of min
ers and operators OF the central com
pctitivc field.
The telegram. sent by John H.
LOWS, president OF the mineres' or
ganzation, to Thomas II. Brewster, of
ST Louis, chairman of the operators
executive committee, urged a confer
ence be held to apply practical meas
ures designed to restore normal con
ditions and bring to an end the
strikes that have broken out in the
Indiana andvlllinois fields. Mr.. Lewis
in his telegram said it was his pro
found conviction that any remedies
which must be applied should be done
by orderly processes through the in
strumentality Of existing machinery
within the industry.
The strike OF coal miners, accord
ing to mine officials, is in violation
OF the contract made by the joint
scale committee of operators and
miners to carry out the report Of the
Goa lcommission. appointed by Prosi-
dent Wilson. The contract was signed
March 81, and was to run for two
years. The strike, it was said. grew
out OF dissatisfaction of the day work
crs and monthly men, who did not get
as large an increase in wages in the
award made by the coal commission
as did the machine and pick miners

LUCREyTIA.

Though Lucretla was the name
borne by the notorious daughter or
the Borgia, it is one of the quaintest
and most old fashioned Of names IN
this country It is a far cry from
ancient Rome to modern New Eng
land, but the name has completed
the transition with very few changes
to mark the successive stages Of It's
evolution.
There are two theories among
etymologists in regard TO the origin
al source Of Lucretia. Some contend
that il comes from the Latin word
Lucrum, meaning gain and for
that reason, Lucretia is said TO sig
Nifty gain. On the other hand, there
is much evidence to prove that It's
real source was in the Latin word
for light, lux Many feminine names
have been derived from this root
and the same word has supplied
surnames without number.
1t is beiieved, therefore. that the
noted old gems Lucretius from which
Lucretia is directly descended. was
only another Of the derivatives of
lux. "LuCreca conbing the fleece un-
der the midnight lamp" the famous
old Roman tale, inspired Shake

the few classical names 10 be re-
vived.
! France has Lucrece which is
popular and England imported Lu-
cretia in the eighteenth century.
Lucretia's talismanic stone is the

to bring her strength of body. an
invincible spirit and success in
every undertaking. Tuesday is her
lucky day and her lucky number.

 There is large number of mem- bers of the last house seeking re- election in various counties, but there is also much new material. In Pulaski county only one of the 1919 members is a candidate for reelection and he is a passive can didate in the hands of his friends.
 It is recognized by all that the 1921 session will be one of the most important and probably the most exciting that has been held in many years, on account of the road legislation, pro and con, which will come up for consideration. That there will be much opposition to the special road legislation is an as- sured fact. All agree that the next session should not run wild on the subject of road legislation. but it will require the exercise of sound business judgment and common sense to prevent the reactionaries from obtaining control To stop all road legislation would be as great calamity as to repeat the exper- fences of 1919. There must be a sane policy adopted, and men must be elected next Tuesday who will see that this is done.

Chief Justice Jos. M. Jill of Ft. Smith Urges the Reelection of Judge McCullOch

Every lawsuit carries disappoint- ment to 50 per cent of the parties, and disappointment naturally cre- ates opposition; but it must be re- membered that Judge decides the law as he finds it. not as he or his friends wish it to be. It cannot be presumed that another Judge would find it differently, certainly no one aspiring to judgeship should prejudge cases or commit himself otherwise than to decide cases un- der the law as he finds it after hearing and investigation.
 Judge McCulloch is 58 years old, sound in body and mind, ripened in learning and trained by experience. I feel that he should be reelected on two grounds; first, for the eff cient service he can and will ren- der the state in the future, and, second, in gratitude and apprecia- tion of his splendid work in the past.
 Respectfully,
