Lincoln was modestly proud Of his
stature and Of the effect Of the physical
man, especially when actuated by
noble sentiments. He used to speak
Of his height to every tall man he
met, and to propose measuring--an-
other guileless habit of self-gratifica-
ton. The only refusal he Is known
to have received was from Charles
Sumner, who was also tall and proud
Of his height. Sumner was worrying
the President, as he often did, about
some perplexing matter, when Lincoln
abruptly challenged him to measure.
Sumner declined" said Lincoln, max
Ing fine speech about this being the

LEGION TO CONSTRUCT
GALBRAITH MEMORIAL
Executive Committee of American Le-
gion Authorizes $4,000
Appropriation

indianapolis, nd.-Construction of a
memorial in Cincinnati to the late f.
w. Galbraith, Jr., former national
commander, was authorized by the
American legion's executive committee
An appropriation of $4,000 was au.
thorized. The committee also desig.
mated October 10 to 20 as the dates
for the fourth annual convention al
New Orleans.
The first day of the conference was
devoted to discussion of the plight of
disabled World war veterans and plans
for their relief. The United States vet
Grams bureau was criticized by several
speakers.
Julius f. Lynch of Norfolk, Va, de-
clared the trouble was not so much
with the bureau, but that the bureau
was left too much in the hands of Brig
adler General Sawyer, President
Harding's physician. General Sawyer
was characterized by the speakers as
a man "who did not don the army uni
form until two years after the armis-
tice was signed"
A resolution was adopted calling or
the federal government to exert all its
facilities in behalf of disabled veter-
ans and demanding an immediate set

MINE WORKERS ASK
FOR INCREASED PAY
Demand 20 Per Cent Increase
in Wages and Will Strike
April if not Granted.

Shamokin, Pa.lThe tri-state con-
vention of the anthracite mine work
ers have adopted the recommendation
OF the scale committee demanding a
70 per cent increase in wages for con-
tract miners and 81 a day for all day
men.
The convention had before 1t a rec
ommendation providing for a suspen-
sion of mining on April l in the event
no satisfactory agreement has been
reached by that date
The delegates also adopted a de-
mand that the proposed new agree
ment to take the place of the present
one, which expires March 81, shall not
exceed period of two years and pro-
hibiting the making of individual
agreements and contracts.
This scale committee presented 19
proposed demands on the operators
and three recommendations to be car
ried out by the scale committee.
Other demands provide for uniform
wage scale so that various occupations
" Inv Sidil the
same wages that the eight-hour clause
in the present agreement shall be ap-
piled to all persons working In and
about mines coming under the juris-
diction of the mine workers union ::
time and one-half for all overtime work
and double time for Sunday and holt
day work; a standard check-off sys-
tenn; dead work to be paid for on
uniform consideration basis; that
where coal Is paid for by the car it
shall be charged and payments made
on the legal ton basis and dockage
eliminated; that carpenters and other
tradesmen be paid the recognized
standard rates existing in the regions
which should not be less than 90 cents
an hour; that in re-hiring men laid
off, the seniority rule shall apply; that
employees of stripping contracts be
brought under the agreement and that
powder be delivered to the miners at
their working places.
The recommendation that the scale
committee be instructed to perfect ar
Engagements Tor a suspension of min
ing on April l in the event of an agree
ment not being reached by that time,
came as a surprise to some of the dele
gates. 1t was expected by some that
this would be left to the international
policies committee which would not
want its hands tied in negotiating with
| the operators.
1t was the custom in previous nego-
tiations to keep the men at work while
negotiations were progressing favor
ably and to make the agreement en-
tered into retroactive.
There was no serious opposition to
the 10 demands adopted or to the
proposition to quit work April l. The
action taken by the convention will be
referred to the International conven-
ton, which meets at indianapolis, Feb
ruary Ia.

California Orange Crop Freezes

Los Angeles, Cal. Millions of
oranges were frozen on the trees of
southern California Friday night and
severe, though yet undetermined dam
age was suffered by citrus fruit grow
ers in many districts by the worst frost
that has hlruck this region in nine
years, according to officials of the
growers organizations. Exactly what
damage the frost will do depends large
ly upon the sort of weather that sue
ceeds it, growers said. If the weather
warns up gradually, the crop loss will
be less severe than otherwise.
