calling and causing strikes among
mine workers. and by closing down
coal mines"
Counts five to nine of the indict-
ment contain similar charges, but are
based on the amendment to the Lever
act passed October 22, 1919. and cover
the period from the passage of the
amendment until March IL, 1920. the
date the Indictment was returned.
Other Counts Taken Up.
Other counts take up under separate
heads charges included IN the general
allegations in the early counts and
the eleventh count gives ten overt
acts. These include the strike order
Of October 16, signed by President
Lewis and Secretary Green of the
United Mine Workers, conferences be-
tween Lewis and Green concerning
the strike. and a charge that from
January to August, 1919, Indiana op-
orators refused to sell coal and held
coal for prices above that quoted on
the market. The last seven of the
ten overts acts specifically charge
Indiana operators with closing down
their mines. with inserting clauses in
contracts allowing excessive charges
for coal and with employing what is
known as the "check-off' system in
mines. This system is one in which
the operators deduct from the miners
pay the amount of dues owed the local
unions and In turn pay the money to
the union.
Copies of the indictment, with
capiases, will be mailed to other
states in which defendants reside and
the papers will be served by officers.

either by continued breathing

germs grow and multiply with

and cream eliminates the most

The aim OF hygiene is to main

to uphold and increase our
natural resistance against the

From Measure in Senate.

committee amendment TO the

tablish 1-cent postage for local de-
livery letters was stricken out of the
bill in the Senate yesterday afternoon

Protest Postage Drop.
Representatives of the National AS
sociation of Letter Carriers, the Ma
tional Federation of Post Office Clerks.
the Railway Mail Association and the
National Federation of Rural Car
rfers had protested to the members
or the Senate against the 1-cent drop
letter postage. saying:
AS a matter of sound public policy
postage rates should he so fixed as
the operating expenses of an efficient
and satisfactory service. Existing
postage rates will not do this. In "A
period of mounting prices these rates
have experienced little change. A
feverish effort has been made to
squeeze postal expenditures within
the limits of inadequate postal rev.
ment of service efficiency and over
burdened service workers. Despite
the enforcement of this sweeping re-
trerchment program. a postal deficit.
conservatfvely estimated at $4,000
600. seems certain for the current fis-
cal year. Nor does this estimate in
clude additional millions due the rail-
roads for increased mail transporta-
tfOn chargea"
IntereRt I'm Amend mont
The postal employees are much in
terested in an amendment proposed
by Senator McKellar of Tennes-
see to pay clerks and special
clerks in first and second class
post Offices. letter carriers in the city
clerks assigned to terminal railway
post offices or transfer service time
and a half for overtime work on the
basis of an eight-hour working day.
The primary purpose of this amend
ment is said to be to insure closer
observance of the eight-hour law
There is no punitive or extra rate OF
pay in the postal service for over
time. Therefore. the rate of pay for
substitute employees ESQ cents an
hour) is higher than the rate for ex-
perienced. skilled employees. A clerk
or carrier with at least six years eX
perience receives a maximum over
time pay rate of 81 cents-or 3 cents
1ess than the rates for substitutes,
temporary or auxiliary employees. 1t
is financially advantageous for the
department to work the regular en-
ployes overtime rather than employ
substitutes.
