MINERS WILL STRIKE.

The coal miners organization hns
ordered strike, 20 begin on April 1.
II will involve about soc. 900 men, and
IL Is the announced purpose OF the
leaders 10 have It conducted without
resort TO personal violence.
II is unfortunate for the people
that this strike should be ordered.
especially as a large majority Of the
public does not understand the situa-
ton and cannot see why the operators
should insist upon reductions in
the wages Of miners with coal az the
higfsretail Irices that have long pre-
vailed.
That coal miners should have good
wages and short hours OF labor goes
almost without saying. The charac-
ter OF their work impresses the truth
of this contention. And every con-
sumer OF coal feels that long prevail
ing retail prices surely should war
rant the operator. in entering into
working agreements with the miners
that would involve these two import
/ ant considerations.
/ However. the strike now seems GER.
/ tain. Let US hope Il Will not be long
and that Il will soon be settled, per.
manently and satisfactorily.

RIPPLING RHYMES.

THE DAY OF DOLE.

Some day you'll feel too tough
TO work, you'll feel you cannot
stand the strain. and thoughts
OF honest toll will irk, and III
you with a pea-green pain.
Some day you1l find you've lost
your pep. you'll feel red rust in
every bone, and every time you
take a step your weariness will
make you groan. For wintry
age comes on apace. your gold
en- years have heard their knei,
- the whiskers whiten on your
face, and you wear teeth Of
tortoiseshell. And when arrives
that day OF fate, IL you were
wise in seasons gone, you seat
yourself IN pomp and state, and
let the coed old world wag on
You sawed your cordwood. rich
and rank. when you were in
your manhood's prime. and now.
In yonder savings bank. you
have the kopeck and the dime.
You have the wherewithal 10
buy the simple things a gaffer
needs, some stogies and a kick
less pie. a corkscrew and a
string OF beads. 4 goodly COM
petence is fine, when you are
old and tired and gray, and you
can sit beneath your vine. and

And as you watch youll see old
lads. all broken down. their
withers wrung, who blew the
dollars of their dads. and
wouldn't save. when they were
young.

WOMEN SEEK SNEEZELEss SUMMERS

that person Is apt TO DO less able 10
withstnnd the pollens In the atnos-
phere. Regularly tho attacks come at
tho time OF year when tho sir IL filI.d
with the agent which affects him, un-
less he IL cured by sono treatment
or unless he goes TO n place where thu
disturbing pollens do not follow.
Doctors find that II the attacks ers
prevented for several years the re-
sIstnnce OF tho patient increases and
In time he becomes immune. Tho
main difficulty in achieving immunity
is that there are 70 many possible
causes OF the disease. Most victims
respond 10 several irritants. and out
of sorno 200 wind borne pollens ~ n
locality II is no easy matter To locate
tho two or three that cause trouble.
Yet the rnessure of success achieved
encourages specialists TO continue with
their studies and clinics. Hay fever
is no joke. A working woman can
not AFFORD 70 be practically incapacita-
ed for work during month or six
weeks OF every year. So tho hay fever

citation is \ busy and hopeful place.

PROHIBITION IN MARYLAND.

After most interesting fight be-
fore the Maryland General Assembly
at Annapolis. eliminating last week.
the Anti-Saloon League directed the
defeat OF the Prohibition Enforcement
bill 1t had championed. and which It
had succeeded In putting through the
House Of Delegates, and abandoned
the contest for two years. Tho fight,
tho officers OF tho League announce,
Will be continued at tho State cam
paign OF 1929, and an effort made to
secure the election OF a Legislature
which will be entirely I'm favor of the
Anti-Saloon Leagues measure for the
enforcement OF tho Volstead law
and OF State prohibitory enactments.
The bill which the League cham
pioned at the present session was
quite severe In its provisions. and
certainly aimed at an efrcctual sup
preston OF the work OF pestiterous
"bootleggers" and others who have
no regard for any law that interfcres
with their nefarious business. II
passed tho House OF Delegates by. a
good majority, but the State Senate,
while not daring TO defeat It. at
tached a referendum clause, by which
the measure would have been sub
jected TO the test OF popular vote
at the next November election. This
amendment was resisted vigorously
| by the friends OF the measure, but
it was passed by the State Senate by
vote of IA to 12.
Leaders OF the Anti-Saloon League
evidently feared the result OF A refer.
endum, especially IN prospect OF the
heavy adverse vote which would have
/ threatened the fate OF the bill at the
popular vote in Baltimore City. and
decided that postponement would bs
their better policy. SO they employed
their influence with their friendly ma,
jor,ty in tho House OF Delegates 70,
a rejection OF the conference report
on tire Senate amendment which
virtually defeated the entire bill. Nov
the battle goes over to the State cam
paign OF 1923.
However. this action sttll leave.
tho entire matter subject TO a refer
endurn, though not upon a direct vot,

ment measure. The latter VIII be al

both primary and general. 1t VII
now be the purpose OF the Anti Salooi
League 10 secure the election 10 tn

MODEST MAYOR HYLAN.

Mayor Hylan OF New York City has
affixed his signature to an enactment
by the New York Legislature estab-
fishing his official salary at s25 900 a
year. As mayor he could have vetoed
the measure, but also as mayor, he
had no objection to the increased COM
pensation. As Justification for such
a salary, he says he recently refused
an offer TO become a member OF q
legal firm in New York City at a
salary OF $4,000 per annum.

HARDING TRUSTS TO LUCK.

Refreshed and strengthened by his
Florida vacation, President Harding
promptly passed tho bonus buck back
to Congress, thereby indicating the
noble sentiment OF the Republican
campaign textbook of 1920 which
affirmed that "the Republican Party
pledges itself 10 improve the individual
efficiency of the Federal officials"
Nothing could be more efficient than
Mr.. Harding i'm regard TO the bonus
He Is for IT and against 1t and on all
sides OF II and his position remains
unchanged, and besides, the legisla
ton is a responsibility OF Congress
and he does not think 1t essential e.
offer recommendations. Anybody wis
Is dissatisfied with that would COM
plain because his slice Of bread was
buttered on only three sides.
The President and Congress have
been equally insincere In dealing with
the bonus issue and will probably con-
tinue TO be equally insincere until the
end Neither of them really favors O
bonus, but both are frightened by the
political possibilities OF beating the
bonus. For various reasons. one oi
them being Andrew w. Mellon, ths
President Is Obliged to support only
the kind of bonus that can be pait
through a sales tax, knowing thal
Congress could not enact sales taa
without cutting it's own throat. Con
gross, on the other hand. Is now com
mitted To any sort of bonus legisla'
ton that can command a majority
vote. and the President is afraid 4
say that he will veto it.
