League farmers union conference in
Emporia this week, delegates from the
Pittsburg mining camps freely pre-
dicted a general coal strike in Kansas.

mated that the strike would not be
called until next fall. Howat did not
attend the Emporia conference. J. H.
Dorchy, a Howat lieutenant, was one
of the speakers in the meeting and at
tended various conferences.
With the opening Of the coal mine
investigation by the court of industrial
relations next month, a definite course
of the mine workers is expected to be

tive to Imprisonment of the union Off

Sox Recruit Has
Enuiable Record
BY Associated Press.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 23.-Twenty-
one games won and four lost during
the 1920 season with semi profession
al baseball clubs at Lynch and Gym
thiana, KY. was the record of Stan
ley NJ. (Bud) King. who for four
years held unofficial title OF cham
pion high school pitcher OF Kentucky
and who has signed contract with
the Chicago White Sox for the 1921
sason.
Kings addition to the list of
youngsters to be tried out by the
Chicago Club was brought about
thru Herve Mcclellan. third baseman,
who played with Cynthiana after the
close of the American League season.
Two of the games lost We're won by
Louisville American Association
team.
King is 20 years old. He weighs
$50 pounds and pitches with his right
arm. He has no set style Of delivery,
using overland, underhand and side
arm deliveries with equal facility.
He has good fast ball, critics de-
clare. and a tantalizing slow out
curve.
King played with the Lexington
high school team Of 1915 to 1919.
This team twice tied for the cham
pionship Of Kentucky with the boys
high school of Louisville and twice
was nosed out by the same team
King won most of his games.
Last year King played semi pro-
fessional baseball with various Lex
ington teams. This year he started
the season with Lynch, KY but early
in the fall switched to Cynthiana,
where Mcclellan played third base,
Stanley Reese, formerly with the St.
Louis Browns, played first and
Charles Rohrer, pitcher from the
Ohio State League, played short.
Roger Mitchell, who signed with the
Philadelphia National League team,
was theother pitcher for tCynthiana.

PEACE HARD ON FISHERS.
Newfoundland Colony Being Deserted
Catch Poor and Prices Low.

Newfoundland Colony Being Deserted
Catch Poor and Prices Low.
BY Associated Press.
st. Johns, N. F., Dec. 23.-Several
thousand fishermen have left New
foundland owing to the comparative
failure Of the colony's fisheries this
year and the low price received for
the product. They have gone chiefly
to Canada and the United States.
The total catch of herring in the
season which ended in the middle of
last winter was only about half the
average Of previous years and, be-
cause of renewed competition with
Scotch, Dutch and other foreign
markets due to the return of peace
conditions. the value was greatly re-
duced. The early spring fishery for
cod off the south coast and the seal
fishery off the east coast were fail
ures.
The main cod fishery around the
coast Of the island and Labrador re-
suited In an estimated catch of J.
100000 quintals (of 112 lbs.), as
against 100000 for last year. The
price dropped from s12 to $40 a quin-
tai for Newfoundland fish and from
$40 to IS for Labrador cod. The de-
: cline in prices of cod OIL Holsters
salmon and other subsidiary products
has been so great that the Fishermen
will not receive more than half the
amount which they obtained last
year.
Another factor tending to emisra
ton is the curtailment in the iroT
mines. where forces of 1000 have
been reduced by ore half. Altho the
pulp and paper mills are making ar
exceptionally large cut of wood. they
can not absorb all the men seeking
work from them this winter
