The fifet demaad for a Con
gressionsl investgation Of condi-
tions, which arc expected to re-
ss,.,t in "a strike CT e00,0 900 union
coal miners on April 1, was made
here today by Congressman Bland
(Rep.) Of Indiana.
Bland, who comes from a min
ing district, announced that he
would introduce a resolution in
the House calling for a compre-
hensive inquiry into the coal in
dustry and that he would ask that
the operators and miners be sum-
moned before the House Labor
Committee Immediately to pre-
sent their respective cases.
Sees Hope In Publicity.
1t is his belief that with the facts
given publicity both operators and
miners would be forced to meet and
come TO an agreement that would
stop the threatened strike which
promises to do great hurt to indus
try and the people. He thinks his
plan the most feasible and compel
ing one TO meet an emergency.
Two years ago representatives
OF the operators and the miners
made a contract into which was
written an agreement that they
should meet before April, 1922, TO
consider a wage scale" said Bland.
The miners say they are willing to
keep the agreement, but the opera
tors will not meet with the miners.
The operators should be forced to
do SO, just as the miners would be
forced to do 1t were they to refuse.
The Government should act with all
its power"

Pack Your Eggs Carefully

Those bringing in eggs in cases
must use greater care in putting in
packing in the bottom of the cases.
You would be surprised to know how
many eggs are broken in transit.
These are charged back to us and
materially affect the price we are
able to pay you for your eggs.
Out of a recent shipment of 10
cases to Spokane we were charged
back with 80 dozen broken eggs. We
can't afford to loose this and our pay
ing price is based upon just what we
receive, and not what we would
like to receive for them.
The weather is warm now and
good many rotten eggs are coming
in. To protect those who are care
full in gathering and packing their
eggs, we will not accept any full cases
of eggs without the owners name
uarked plainly on each end of the
case.
To insure safe delivery by express
or truck to the different markets you
must put filters and packing both on
top and bottom of cases.
