the committee today was further con-
alteration OF what provision should
be In = new wage agreement for fu-
ture negotiations between the miners
and the operators. Ohio operators on

ments for the soft coal industry have
run for two years.
Aside from the committee work

terest among the miners was turned
to the prospect OF an early resumption

Lipenstick, farmland, disappeared
seven years ago. Since then the farm
is said to,have had poor crops. A farm
house burned down and the ghost
was blamed for that. Owner after

Carl Logies purchased the farm
about year ago. Whenever he went
to his barn at night, Logies said to-
day, he would see "a white wrath like
figure" walking about. At times he de-
hand and it always disappeared in the
direction OF the well.
Determined to find out what caused

BIDDING FOR VOTES.
Determined Effort on Both
Sides to Get Out Big Regis
tration Today.

Probably never on a registration day.
before, was there so much effort to
obtain a large registration as today.
Interest had been lacking up to today,
and as those who are not registered by
today cannot vote at the primaries.
the candidates are interesting them
selves.
While the major parties had workers
out after prospects. the candidates and
their friends were doing the bulk of
their work. Even at that. the interest
was not what had been hoped for. II
total OF 5000 voters are registered to.
day 1t will be surprising to the most
hopeful.
1t was noticed. however, that women
were taking little more interest. II
was learned. also that there had beer
a campaign among them by womer
party workers. and it was having some
effect.
Lambert ]. Foulk, secretary of tn,
Department OF Elections. stated thi.
afternoon that the registration O.
voters is proceeding quietly. Tht
registration had been light previou.
