COAL WORKERS
Leaders Announce Plans for
Action April I If Wage Ne
gotiations Fail.
By GEORGE w. WILLIAMS,
International News Service.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. IS
Anthracite and bituminous coal
workers will take a referendum
within the next three weeks to de-
eide whether or not to suspend OPP
erations April 1, II new wuse con-
tracts have not been negotiated by
that date.
Just as soon as the miners ma
tional convention ratifies the report
of the scale committee a call will be
issued for such a vote, union leat.ers
said today. Four or five days later
1t is expected the complete returns
will be in.
Sentiment will be overwhelming
said the leaders. for a cessation Of
operations. William Green, secretary
of the international union, holds
strongly to the belief that 1t Is pos
sible to negotiate a new agreement
for the anthracite field without a
suspension. but that anthracite lead
ers hold just as strongly to the be
lief that II Will be physical inlpos-
sibility - get a new contract with
out a suspension Of at least one
month.
The mine workers are preparing
for strenuous opposition over the
new Kenyon bill providing tri-par-
lite control OF the coal industry.
1T Is more or less like the old
bill-a thinly disguised effort to leg
islate compulsory arbitration" said
Green. Although the bill declares
for collective bargaining 1t sets up
a court of last resort ana this nulli-
flies the declaration as to collective
bargaining. The bill mas nothing
the minors want and they will stub
bornly oppose it."
Union leaders We're not backward
in the least in admitting today that
the conference in Chicago February
81 with the railway union men who
have been invited into a defensive
alliance with the miners Is political
and not strictly economic.

The Ingredients Of Vicks

Since the dawn of history mankind has been
searching nature for remedies against cold
troubles. The knowledge gained thru thousand
years has come down to US today. Vicks con-
tains the best known remedies for these troubles,
some OF them of great antiquity. .Menthol, for
instance. comes from Oil of Peppermint which
was grown in Egypt three thousand years ago
and whose virtues are described in the old Ice
landic books of the 18th century
The highest authority on drugs and their uses
10 the u. S. Dispensatory. We give below few
extracts from the Dispensatory on some of the
ingredients in Vicks.

Of the state take the proper interest in the work

OF the state take the proper interest in the work
done in Madison
The announced intention Of leaders of the
legislature to pass certain laws which are urged
by semi-socialistic organizations is something
that will call for an intelligent protest. An 'in-
telligent protest" against such measures does
not mean personal abuse of the men who sug-
gest them, but rather an open and fair presen-
tation of an intelligent argument against them.
There are two sides to these big questions of
state rule, and it is to be expected that there
will be sufficient number of members of the
legislature, who are willing to look at both
sides, to prove safety valve against legislation
which will be detrimental to the state.
Men who go to the legislature are just like
men in other kinds of work. They may line up
with one faction or the other, but some of them
are going to insist on having individual opin-
ions. The man who is willing and able to think
for himself is the man who must be approached
in the discussion of the proposed new laws.
The important thing right now is the proper
study OF the makeup of the legislature and the
singing out of the men who will be individual
thinkers rather than feel the lash of party or
fractional organization.
Men who are directly interested in the out
come of the legislative session should take a
personal interest in what the legislature does
They should take this, interest before it is too
late to have it count for anything. Members of
the legislature are going to listen to the call of
the people as well as to the call of their partcu
lar political or fractional organization. We do
not believe that the makeup Of the Wisconsin
legislature has sunk to such point that men
can be forced to enact laws without knowing
what they mean and without considering what
the effect of such laws may be on the state and
it's people,
We do not believe in threatening or cajoling
these men into action, but we do think that the
proper presentation of issues must be made to
them. If the argument all comes from one side
it is hardly to be expected that the one side will
find it hard to convince the voting majority
Early action for proper organization of the
forces is imperative if the protest is to be of
value.

REGULATING DANCE HALLS

It is to be hoped that Kenosha will officially
and with all the vigor possible lend it's assist
ance to the statewide movement for the regu-
lation of dance halls and other similar places.
The State Board of Health has taken up the
fight to get these people either regulated into
Fdecency or relegated out of business, and it is
going to take the support Of all the people Of
the state to make the movement gain the FIJI
measure of success,
Kenosha and other cities are paying an an
nual toll of girls souls to the dance halls, and
the greatest menace to girl life in Wisconsin is
the unregulated dance hall. Often men who
operate dance halls are willing to take the profit
of them, regardless of what may be the cost to
the morals of the neighborhood. It is possible
that the public dance hall is a necessity, but it
is certain that the unregulated dance hall is a
menace
City Manager Osborn has been making inves-
LEGATIONS of the dance halls in Kenosha, and he
has plenty Of information on which to base an
ordinance for their regulation.\ It may take
time for the state to carry out it's plan to secure
state legislation for properly regulating these
places, and 1t Is most advisable that Kenosha
pave the way for the rest Of the state by pass
ing an ordinance which will have the effect of
the state law proposed,
There Is no desire on the part Of any one to
take the Joy out Of life; 1t Ia not the intention
of men and women who have studied this prob
lem to take away from the girls and boys any
decent pleasures which these places may have
offered but the dance hall must be denatured if
1t is to be permitted to continue. No one would
think of interfering with the pleasures Of the
people in half dozen of the dance halls in
Kenosha, but every mother and father who is
thoughtful of the influences thrown about his
daughter and bis son wants to have some assur-
ance that these places will not be conducted
with view Of getting profit to the conductors
at the expense of wrecking the moral fabric of
young manhood and young womanhood.
If this movement is to be success, it must
have the vigorous support of the people most
interested and these people are the parents of
the boys and girls of Kenosha. Without this
support, the question of regulating the dance
halls will become a comparatively easy one
