1 Elsewhere in this paper will be
found an announcement from all the
Motor dealers and repair shops in Gun
nison, advising price reduction for
all supplies and work, together with
an establishment of the cash basis for
such service. The idea is a good one
and strictly in line with the best
business tactics. If cash were paid
in every instance, not only for motor
supplies, but for everything else pur-
chased, a prudent economy would be
stimulated and money would move
much more freely. Perhaps in no
town in the state has the credit sys-
tenn been so exasperatingly over-done
as in Gunnison. For at least thirty
years the people have been educated
to charge their purchases and the re-
suit has worked hardship on the deal
ers, grossly increased retail prices,
and actually harmed those who seemed
to be benefited thereby-the party
securing the credit. We are very
glad to see change, even in this one
line, put into practice.

$4,000 Non-Union
Miners Join Coal
Strike, Is Claim
TRepubIican a. p. Leased WireI

INDIANAPOLIS, April 1o.-Fifty
thousand non-union bituminous coal
miners, in addition to almost half of
the 155, 600 workers in the anthracite
industry who are not members of the
United Mine Workers OF America,
are participating in the general gus-
pension of work in the coal industry,
according to a statement here today
by President John i. Lewis. the
miners leader.
THE union men are standing firm,
and we are gaining strength in nom
union fields" declared Mr.. Lewis.
while no exact estimate. was made
Of the men participating in the sus-
pension, it was evident from Mr.
Lewis statement that union officials
regarded their former estimate of
100000 as having been exceeded. 1t
was said authoritatively that the
union regarded $4,000 men as par
ticipants in the walkout Mr.. Lewis
declined to apportion the distribution
by states of the non-union strikers,
further than to say 10000 had been
enlisted in central Pennsylvania. and
several thousand in West Virginia,
these states being those where the
union centered attack on non-union
operators.
While numerous messages We're re-
ceived today by Mr.. Lewis. he said
the only significant change was that
progress was being made toward or
ganizing the non-union miners.
