After Dinner Trick S

A playing card is transformed into
match box by simply passing the hand
over it.
The trick is accomplished by FASTING
a playing card, preferably a narrow
one, from a pack of bridge cards, to
the match box, as shown in the dia-
gram. The card is bent forward and
over the side of the box. A label from
another match box is pasted to the back
of the card and the tip of the back,
that overlaps the side of the match box,
is blackened.
The card is first exhibited nnfolded
with the match box concealed behind it.
By simply folding the card over the
box, the Transformation Is accom-
plished.

The anthracite miners, numbering about
100000 more than half of them union members,
ask the following:
l. A 20 per cent increase in contract wage
scale; increase of ST day for men.
2. A uniform wage schedule so that occupa-
tions of like character at the several colleries
shall command the same wage
3. Eight-hour day to be extended to wage
earners working around the colleries.
4. Time and half for overtime and double
time for Sundays and holidays.
5. A check-off provision to be put into the
next contract.
6. All dead work to be paid for on uniform
consideration basis.
7. More liberal treatment Of miners who en-
counter abnormal conditions in their working
places
8. Carpenters and other tradesmen to be
paid standard rates in the region, not less than
80 cents an hour.
9. In laying men off, seniority to apply.
10. Full eight-hour opportunity to be given
employees at colleries which have been working
on six or seven-hour day; where eight-hour op-
portunity is denied, wages shall be adjusted.
The operators want:
L. Wage deflation; reduction of wage sched-
ules to- say, the levels of 1919 or 1917, or to II
point where union fields can compete with nom
union.
2. Abolition of the check-off, under which
union dues and assessments are collected by the
companies out of the pay envelopes.
8. Scrapping of the present central COM
petitive field basic wage agreement; separate
state wage agreements to supplant it.
The real issue in nutshell
Wages; the check-off; the manner of making
wage scale agreements, on four-state basis or
by single states.
