There was not word in answer to
this. Only Wee Jerry felt Daddy Hop
kins clasp him tighter.
Realizing that the stony silence that
met his offer was practically a re-
fusal, Mackenzie got to his feet.
"YOu can take it, or-or go to hi
for all l care" he exclaimed.
He turned toward the door; and
then Pollyop got back her breath, and
while the squatter men watched sui

Marcus fixed her with eyes angry
beyond description. Her own blazed
back at him as she pointed toward the
door.
"Scoot out" she repeated, IAN don't
be comm again."
Mackenzie lifted his riding whip
threateningly, and every man with a
growl started forward; but as the
whip fell back to his side, they sank
down again.
Then 1t was that he shifted the whip
to his left hand and took from his
pocket shining pistol; and although
Polly whitened, she held her ground.
"And you, you impudent huzzy,"
snapped Mackenzie, what have you

Mackenzie. enraged beyond control,
struck POllyOp two singing blows with
the riding whip. Then he strobe out
into the open, and. holding high the
weapon, passed through the frowning
line Of watching women. He gave them
but a flashing disdalnful glance. and
when he turned around, Polly Hopkins
was standing in the door. mOtioning
the women into the shack. He came
to direct halt and shouted at her:
''I1l never offer money again, but

Miners Meet Friday to
Complete Strike Plans

1t was announced here yesterday by
John l.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, that the policies COM
mittee of the organization will meet in
Cleveland on Friday to make final plans
and preparations for a strike of the
btuminous miners and a suspension of
work of the anthracite miners, both
effective April /, and constituting the
first general strike in the history of
the national coal industry.
Mr.. Lewis will preside at the Cleve-
land meeting. Meanwhile, he will head
the union contingent in the anthracite
negotiations here to-day and to-mor-
row. His place in these will be filled
by Philip Murray, vice-president of the
union, when he goes to Cleveland
Alleged excessive profits of the an
thracite mines will be emphasized by
the union representatives in the hard
coal negotiations, it is believed. Last
night the union found an alley in this
connection in the person of Charles S.
Allen, secretary of the Anthracite Coal
Consumers Association, who, in an ad-
dress made at the City Club. declared
that "the price of anthracite coal in
New York City is at least $3.50 higher
than it should be-"
This, according to Mr.. Allen, is made
up OF an excess freight rate of $l.30
land excessive refuse shipped as coal
which, If eliminated, would mean an
other saving Of at least $1.20t
