Mine Operators and
Workers In Direct
Opposition On Pay

the anthracite fields produced in
1921 7S,917,000 gross tons,
slightly more than was produced
in 1920. The labor cost of pro-
ducing this amount OF coal was
sz5z,17s,000.
Were the demands of the min
ers met the anthracite operators
contend that the cost to the con-
sumner would be increased $1.3O
per ton. This is based on the
ed cost of labor to the public.
plan Of passing on the increas-
Roughly 1t means an increase of
$50,000,000 in the labor bill, and
the operators claim this would
have to be carried on the larger
sizes of coal-those mainly put
to domestic use.
The anthracite miner claims
that there has not been any de-
crease in the cost of living that
warrants a cut in wages. State
statistics show the general av-
erage on mine workers pay is
about $3.50 yearly. On the
other hand, the operator con-
tends there has been a decided
drop in living costs and that
there should be a drop in the war
time rate OF wages.
Lower Living Costs
The operators base their claims
to lower living costs on the re-
port OF the National industrial
conference board. This report
shows that the peak of living
was reached In July, 1920, and
that since the total cost of liv-
ing has been reduced 20.3 per
cent.

By George W. Williams

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Feb. E8-
With the possibility of a strike
affecting both the hard and soft
coal fields, by April 1, William ]
Brennan, president of District No
|, United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea, made the following statement
today relative to the situation In
the anthracite zone:
Among the men there is a feel
Ing that II strike does come q
suspension will take place. The
10000 men in the three anthra-
cite districts are seriously and
carefully watching the situation
but they do not openly talk strike
and do not advocate 1t except as
a last resort. April l will come
to US with remembrance Of the
dark days of 1902. The field ia
thoroughly unionized, the Fl.
nances are In good shape, but
with the bituminous situation at
1t is our condition is very much
different than 1t was in 1902
We have no knowledge OF large
amounts of coal being In storage
and do not believe there are"
A. S. Learoyd, spokesman fol
the general committee OF opera
tors, has made the following state
ment:
"The position Of the anthra-
cite operators is that the price
OF coal at the mines is too high
Lower mine prices can be effected
only by reduction in the produc-
tion cost. The only item Of the
cost of production which has not
been reduced is labor, which con
stitutes more than 70 per cent
of the total. In other words, the
average total mine cost Of gross
ton anthracite is $5.55. OF thif
$3.92 Is for labor. These figures
are for the first half of 1921.
Would Mean Increase
"If the demands of the anthra
cite mine workers for an increase
OF twenty per cent in the con.
tract wage rate and one dollar 6
day increase for all men employ.
ed by day were granted 1T would
mean an increase of 1874 cents a
ton In the labor cost Of the total
production OF anthracite.
However, thirty peg cent OF
the total production consists OF
the so-called steam sizes, which
have to be sold far below cost In
competition with bituminous
coal, and ten per cent is pea
coal, which moves very slowly
and at low prices. 1t follows,
therefore, that the remaining six
ty per cent of production, com
prising the domestic sizes, would
have to absorb the entire In
crease in wages. This, on the
domestic sizes, figures out about
one dollar and thirty cents a
ton, which the consumer would
have to pay.
''In addition, there would be
further increases in the labor
cost If other demands were grant
ed.
Resolution to Suspend"
"The demands Of the anthra-
cite mine workers are accompan-
led by a resolution to suspend
production OF coal unless an ag-
reement on wages is reached by
April l."

FuIIers Earth.

Fuller's earth is( a variety of clay sometimes used for cleaning cloth that has been sOiled by grease or oil. Ii is in the form of fine powder, which is very porous. When applied to cloth the earth absorbs the grease. Fuller's earth formerly was used in factories for securing wOolen fabrics, but other methods have replaced it. It is com. posed of alumina, silica, magnesia and lime, and feels like powdered soap Certain silicious rocks yield this ma. terial upon decomposition, and de- posits of it are found in Florida and South Dakota. Some years ago a fine quality of the clay was discovered in the mining lands near Denver. Pack. CTS use the earth for refining lard. It is found in large quantities in Ger. many and other parts of Europe.

The women of Slovakia, al. though the difficulty of obtaining linens and colored thread with which to make their embrOideries is now great, still work with the same care and reverence for traditional craftsmanship as for Inerly. Indeed the peasant woman of Detva, Slovakia, both in the work upon which she is engaged and the beautif clothes she wears, would seem to be a living method for her sisters in the neighboring village. It is in their gardens that these women work, surrounded by their children.

Herbs ara the food of this species, fish of that and flesh of a third. Man falls upon the smallest fruit or excrescence of the earth, scarce berry or mushroom can escape him.

TOOK THE KISS SERIOUSLY
According to French Scientist, the Ro- mans Had Three Distinct Ways
 of Specifying It.

Dr. Emile Malespine, scientist of Lyons, France, and contributor on physiological subjects to leading French periodicals, has written an ar ticle for the Forum in which he traces the development of the kiss as social custom from earliest history.
 "The first manifestations of the kiss encountered in literature" says Doc tor Malespine, "are those which are furthest removed from the kiss of homage, appear rather as ceremonies, than as natural and spontaneous ex- pressions of sentiment. The Bible shows us pagans kissing their idols. The Greeks and Romans had special veneration for statues: there was at Agrigenta, according to Cicero, a mar veIous statue of Hercules, of which the lips and the chin were completely worn away by the devOtions of the faithful.
 ''The Romans, as we'll as the Greeks, knew the kiss in all its perfections Their physiological wealth in this re- gard, is an added proof. Without counting the diminutives, they had three words specifying the kiss: The osculum corresponds to what we should call the kiss of friendship; the basium, more tender, was the kiss of relatives, and of husband and wife 1; finally, the savium applied to the kisses of lovers"
