mines in operation had an aggre-

The complete walkout of the

of the operators, taken at their
meeting last night, in deciding TO
abolish the "check-off' system, as
provided by the federal court in

to $4,000.
Appeal Was Planned.

Indiana coal operators, who OPP
posed the injunction, will take no

Y. NJ. b. A. MEETING
Mass Meeting Last Friday Evening
Discusses Many Matters.

The meeting called by the Young
Mems business Association at the Elks
club room last Friday was fairly well
attended considering the weather that
evening. The meeting was called to-
gether by President f. w. Marx with
Chas. Wooden as acting secretary. The
fact that the D-C-D boosters were to
be here on Wednesday evening was
announced and a committee composed
of F. w. Marx, r. l.. Christy and Fred
Kelsey named on preparations to en-
tertain them. The garage association
offered free housing for their cars, and
arrangements otherwise were left to
the committee.
A report was read showing that the
association treasury still had over nine
hundred dollars of the money raised
for this years program. A number
of matters were brought before the
meeting and discussed, the most i'm
portant Of which was the offer to pull
off a Fourth of July celebration sim
liar to the Red Cross Fourth of July
given in 1918, which resulted in rais-
ing nearly five thousand dollars for
the work of the Red Cross. This one
is to be given, if undertaken, in the
interest of the Lamar Hospital which
needs funds to carry on necessary i'm
provements. The hospital is one OF
the most essential institutions of the
city and such celebration as propos-
ed, if properly supported by the city
government and citizens. would fur
nish a grand celebration for the big
day of the year and at the same time
raise money which would enable the
hospital to run in a manner to do the
largest possible amount Of good to La
mar and surrounding country.

other cartoon characters created by
the fertile mind of George McManus,
will appear in life at the Victory
Theatre on Monday, May 23rd, where
Bringing Up Father at the Seashore"
will hold forth. From all advance ac-
counts this seasons concoction of
mirth, melody, song, novelty, surprise

offered thus far. Mr.. Hill promises
a large and capable cast which in
cludes a number Of well known musi-
cal comedy favoriteG. The plot re-
wolves around the efforts Of Maggie
to get Jiggs to the seashore. After
much effort she accomplished the diff
f;cult task How he eludcs her best
intentions despite her efforts to make
him view the situation through the
same rose tinted glasses, gives ample
scope for numerous funny situations.
