REHEARSED BY
S, C. FEASTER CLASS

AT a rehearsal of the play en-
titled 1.-THE Appeal to Caesar"
which will be given in the high
school auditorium on Friday, May
~, under the direction OF Miss
Mamie Lowe OF Clarksburg, an
especially good time was had by
all members OF the. cast, together
with the remaining members Of
the class, when they combined
business with pleasure.
In every instance all members
OF the cast were present, and for
two hours were drilled in their
respective parts. The leading
characters are to be given by
Clarksburg people, and 1t Is ar
ranged 10 have these people come
to Fairmont soon when a complete
rehearsal will be had. There are
scenes in this play which bring
back the days of.Nero and Angus
tus, who were the Roman rulers
during the time OF st. Paul's mini
stry and missionary journeys.
A thrilling scene Is enacted
where Paul brings to life a Jewish
woman; also Nero who sings while
he sits on his throne and glories
in the prosecutions Of the Chris
tians. This part is played by Mr..
Earl Brown, and was so well done
in the second rehearsal, that mem
bers Of the east applauded for
several minutes. A scene of Paul
In chains writing his letters to the
different churches probably is the
most gripping scene in the cast,
Another rehearsal will be had FRI
day evening at a. O'Clock.

District Contract
c. H. Bailey, Fairmont, inter-
national representative, had little
to say about the district agree
ment statement published from
Frank Harrington. president Of
the Illinois miners. Mr.. Bailey
simply shook his head and said,
1.-THE policy is unchanged" as he
pointed to a statement made by
President John l.. Lewis, president
OF the United Mine Workers of
America, to that effect. The only
district agreements that are In
effect are In Western Kentucky
where the contract does not expire
until next year and In Nova Scotia.
1t is believed that Harrington may
have a sinister purpose back Of
this announcement.
1t is said that he either has
aspirations for the presidency OF
the international organization or
would like to name the man.
NOT axe seriously
Neither operators or miners ap-
pear to take seriously the an
nouncement that President Hard
ing would interfere with the strike
at this time. Apparently coal OPP
orators In general In the country
do not want interference nor do
the miners. Both sides seem To
want to have 1t out.
