These same agitators are succeeding in
their schemes to induce miners in non

and this adds to the gravity Of the sit.

striking by means OF secret threats

The operators are firm in their de,
termination not TO yield to the demand;
OF the union leaders. They are max.
ing no attempts to operate the mines
they are closing the company stores
and so far as they are concerned the
miners can starve or get out OF the

clared that Christians are insulted

worthy of entrance into respectable

Too much, of course, cannot be said

FOR SUNDAY OBSERVANCE

DR.. Hubert Work, the new Post
master. General, in a recent statement
says:
"In view Of the attitude Of relig-
ious people, supported as it is by ira
dition and good usage, together with
our belief that there is more to this
life than its duration, the Postmaster
General would urge postal employees
to encourage the sentiment found in
all communities for Sabbath obser.
vance"
Good for the Postmaster General
We hope that he will 60 farther and
take positive action that will result
in making the Sabbath a day of rest
and Of sanctity.
incidentally, there are other places
than the postoffice that ought to ba
closed on Sunday.
