Miss Winifred Burnham
Given Linen Shower

1t was q merry group that gathered
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence
Sweet on Cross Street on Friday eve
ming when friends of Miss Winifrcd
Burnham met to give the surprised
hostess a linen shower. The evening
was spent in whist playing. Then at
the hour of midnight, after light re-
the jolly group had gathered around
for sing, large decorated basket
filled with packages was ushered into
the middle of the floor. High up in
the center of the basket, and perched
on the highest parcel, stood doll,
dressed as bride. On opening each
package, the surprised and speechless
hostess was met with wondelment at
the beautiful pieces of handiwork. 1t
was then, and not until then, when
Miss BuInham glanced at the blush
ing bride, did she realize what tr.o
seemingly planned card party really
was. Long after midnight in the wee
hours of Saturday morning, ! when
the shower inside had abated, the
merry group broke up, wishing the
hostess many years Of happiness all
filled with as many happy surprises
as this night had brought forth.

NO INCREASE IN PRICE
OF COAL is GRANTED

WASHINGTON, March 11-A 25
per cent wage increase for bituminous
coal miners is recommended in ma
jority report of the commission ap-
pointed by President Wilson to settle
the coal strike. No change in working
hours or conditions was recommend
ed.
John T White representing the
miners held out for higher wage in
crease and will submit a minority he
port. The wage increase will absorb
the IA percent granted when the min
ers returned to work last November
SO that the actual increase is II per
cent over present wages. The wage
increase would not be made retroac-
tive. The commission did not ask
that the powers of the fuel admins
tration be conferred on it. The ma
jority made no recommendation on
price increases of coal to cover the
advance in wages. The majority
recommendation were submitted to-
day to President Wilson but have
not yet been made public, White
House officials saying they were
awaiting the minority report.
