ing them of the labor of their hands.
 Again it is true that outside agitators
 from Illinois and other states have been interfering in order to cause dis satisfaction among the coal mine em-
 ployes here.
 TO WIN THE FIGHT The most encouraging feature of the industrial picture here at these mines of the Yolande Coal and Coke Com pany is the marked determination of
 the company to win this fight against the ntermeddling of union agitators and to go straight ahead, as is mani fested by the improvements being made, by the development of new open ings and the installation of modern machinery.
 The mines are being operated every day with a good number of loyal em- ployes with the crew increasing each
 morning. At the present rate within the next few days the output will be nearing normal.
 I talked to Joe King, color'ed, de- clared by the management to be one of the most efficient miners in the , camp. I asked him why he was strik . ing and his answer was that he was a member of the union and was under it's direction. Asked If the compensa- ton here offered was unsatisfactory to him, he said No, sir; not at all 1 can make from SIP to s15 per day by working eight hours and the company is meeting the pay rolls. We have good houses to live in, good sanitation and fine schools. There ss no lawless- ness here All I am waiting for is recognition of the union by the com pany"
 LOSS TO DISTRICT After my interview with Joe Kine. could not refrain from making T mental calculation which disclosed the fact that this one miner was losing s350 to $400 per month and at the same time depriying his family of d bounteous living and some to spare, to say nothing of the loss of the output in coal tonnage to the public of this mans labor A further calculatioa would indicate the loss to the district by men on a strike whole Every one consulted speaks in the highest praise of the cordial relations that have existed between this com pany and it's men for the past ten years the advancing to them of none / also the provisions of the management
 for the comfort. amusement and recre- alton of their employees as we'll as good working conditions.
 Judging from my talk with Joe King and others. it is clear that the loss of production occasioned by the partial strike at this place is caused purely by reason of the paid agitato- having induced some of the workmen
 to strike for recognition of the union,

stockings lay upon the rock beside half an armful of wild roses.
 A twig Tipped back into place as the Pearlhunter strained his face a little closer. The song stopped; the girl whirled her eyes toward the swaying twig. The man f1attened and held his breath.
 But the woodland song was done. She slid back on the rock and reached for her stockings and shoes. Such feeti The rough shoes she picked up dishonored them. It would be giving the Pearlhunter uncertain praise to say he didn't look. Besides, 1t wouldn't be true.' He did look. It is but simple justice to him to state, also, that after the one glance-a glance he could no more help than the branch could help tiOwing-he dragged his eyes away and held them away till he heard the girl scramble to her feet on the rock As she gathered up her armload of wild roses he had leisure to observe her
 With the mass of col.r close to her face, 1t was hard to tell the one from the other-the flowers from the face 1; where the roses left off and the face began. Her hair hung loose, soft and wavy-the kind of hair roguish shaft of morning sun can change to spun gold lips like the song moment ago upon them; eyes like the little patch of sky at the bottom of the pools eyes that opened wide; that had noth- ing to conceal.
 She was turning to spring to the bank when the Pearlhunter rose and quietly stepped through the bushes. She whirled: and the two stood star ing at each other across the pool. The flowers struggled from her arms and dringled down upon the rocks.
 The Pearlhunter's eyes were the first to fall. Dragging off his battered hat, half awkwardly, he bowed his head and strove for a word to justify his intrusion. But he was slow of speech. Words came hard to him. After a time, his eyes travelled back across the pool; past the patch of sky at the bottom; up the side of the rock where her feet had dangled.
 The rock was bare. The girl had gone.

gone.

Amazed at the woOdcraft that had enabled the girl to disappear under his very eyes, without so much as the culver of a leaf, the Pearlhunter crossed the branch on the rifle at the lower edge of the pool, by springing from stone to stone, and went up to the rock. There lay the flowers in scatteEed confusion-a tumbled mass of refreshing color; the half an arm fuI of pink and white and red wild roses. He picked up three-a pink {; a red; white-and stood gazing down upon them. The true woods man Is instinctively a gentleman. He did not know-he did not try to know that the girl watched his every move from behind big oak few yards up the bank.
 Like her-somehow," he muttered. "Wild RoseI It might be her name. A namel I wonder what it's like to have a name!''
 A thought shadowed his face-the old thought that always brought the cloud. His eyes narrowed; the lines of his mouth drew tense. Drawing the stems of the three roses through buttonhOle in his blouse, he strode away down the branch back to Fallen Rock.
 The languid eyes of the Iron-Gray- Woman turned toward him as he sprang in over the saving gangplank. pushed aside the rumpled curtain, and

BIRDS HAVE VARIOUS NAMES
Get cognomens From Habits or PIu- mage Though Not lnfrequentiy
 From Song or Gall.

Birds are given various names in various parts of the country; some get these names from their habits. others from their plumage, while the song, or call, in other cases Is respon- sible for the nickname of the bird. ac- cording to London Answers.
 The cuckoo has two mates The meadow pippit is known as the cue koo's mate in some parts of the coun- try, because of It's habit of always ac- companying the cuckoo from place to place throughout its stay in this coun- try. The wryneck gets the same name for a different reason. It arrives in the country about the same time or a few days earlier than the cuckoo. and therefore the name has been given lt
 Little 'Bread-and-no-cheese" is per haps rather a mouthful, but the name is given to the yellow bunting on ac- count of the fact that its simple song resembles these words more than any thing else in the world.
 Waffle" is the name given to that laughing bird of the woods, the green woodpecker, also known by the less cheerful cogncmen of rain bird. be- cause whenever it laughs the glass goes back and the rain comes down In other words. the laugh of the green woodpecker. like the ''hee-haw" of the donkey, is considered by many to be q sure sign of wet weather.
 The whitethroat has a habit of creeping along the lower parts of the hedges. where the nettles grow, and therefore 1t has acquired for itself the name of "nettle creeper."

entered the tiny cabin of the house boat. There was not so much fire in the eyes. The fever was going down with the sun. The thought his re- turning step had brought came out in her first words.
 "They who own the old cabin might not like us to move in."
 "They can only make us move out again." was his cheery answer. And, mother, you never saw such a view as you get from up there. And you can drink right out of the spring."
 Something came to the face of the Iron-Gray-Woman that had long been a stranger there. Not a smile-a rip pie, like the swath a chance breeze ruff1es across still water.

There came scream from the IrOn-Gray Woman. She had risen from her chair. The Pearlhunter dared not look, but he saw the eyes of the man he faced turning irresistibly toward the sound With the first glance a startling change came over him; his eyes strained; stared his hand left his hip and went to his face. He strengthened and shrank hack against the cabin door. The Pearl hunter dared not look around, yet he knew his mother was coming. With step he would not have believed 1t possible for her to take she was be tween them, her face ablaze with im- perious dignity; her eyes like the pan ther before the door of her den. She had shed her weakness as a mantle The intruder covered his lips moved She raised her hand and pointed to the door. Again he tried to speak. Her body stiffened; her arm grew rigid. Like a man compelled to re- treat before a blaze, he half turned and backed away.
 The Pearlhunter followed him. trailed him up the bluffs, through the woods and out to the river road, where it came down from the north. right angled east and led away up the river to the village
 When he hurried back his mother was again in her chair, the imperious outburst over, spent and trembling. She looked up at him curiously. He thought she was about to speak She hesitated; looked down.
 "I haven't seen him for twenty years. He's -the-other man."
 The Pearlhunter started; glanced quickly at her. She was rocking back

 The breeze from the door was gut tering the candle. He crossed the floor to close 1t. As he brought 1t around. 1t scraped a small packet ahead of it along the floor. He picked it up and, after closing the door. car ried 1t to the candle. It was not big ger than the length and width of a mans two thumbs, and was wrapped in brown paper. He unrolled 1t. The first glance, as the folds fell apart and a bit of cloth dropped upon the table. brought a startled exclamation from him. It was a red mask.

COAL PUBLICITY
ENDS
Owners Object to Public
Knowing Too Much

Washington = The federal trade
commission has ended the publication
of bituminous coal costs until the
court decides if it has the power to
compel coal owners to furnish these
reports. When the commission began
issuing the bulletins the coal owners
Voluntarialy supplied information, but
later objected and the matter is now
before the courts to decide on the con-
stitutional power of congress to
authorize the commission to require
reports on the cost of production.
The commission says it believes
that production cost information in
such fundamental industry as BIZ
luminous coal is of the greatest use
fulness to the industry
1T is said the commission, 'like-
wise obviously of benefit to the public
to know what the cost of coal produc-
tion is, and what the sales realization
price at the mine is, and being In
formed as to these factors to deter
mine whether any intervening agency
is occasioning an undue rise in the
price to the consumer"
The coal owners attitude is in line
with the refusal of anthracite coal
owners to permit their production
costs to be submitted to the recent
anthracite wage commission appoint
Cd by the president. The miners had
prepared series of statistics on this
and related questions, but the com
mission upheld the coal owners claim
that this has no connection with the
W&ge movement.

No Such Thing as open" Or

Chicago.-There is no such thing as
an "open" or "closed" shop, writes
Thomas Sweeney, general secretary of
the Journeymen Tailors' Union of
North America, in answer to an edu-
Gators request for information to use
in a debate on the "open and closed
shop"
Seemingly, in all seriousness, the
educator presented this question:
Under open shop conditions, is it
made between the whole body of la
tolers and the employer, or between
the union and the employer"
To this ludicrous proposal, Secre-
tary Sweeney replied:
Il cannot resist saying that this
question alone shows the need of
much enlightenment on tbs question
of open or closed shop
unions have no say whatever in
what you understand as an open
shop, nor is there any need for an
fact, there is no agree
ment. Then again, the workers in the
so-called open shop cannot act as a
body; else it would not be an open
shop.
Collective bargaining being out Of
the question in an open shop, as a
matter of fact there is no such thing
as an open or closed shop; but there
is such a thing as a union and nom
