Miners Have Advantage.
In the finely drawn issue between
the miners and operators themsel-
yes, the miners appeared to have
the advantage of unity today. The
operators are admittedly divided.
One faction among the operators
believes the Presidents order
should be accepted. This faction
contends that by accepting the Hard.
ing plan, the operators should stand
forth before the country as ready
and willing to follow the President
in his peace ventures; that it will.
in short, be an exhibition of good
faith on their part.
Another faction is utterly opposed
to acceptance Of the Harding offer.
\ few operators privately voiced
the fear that, should the operators
accept the Harding plan for politi.
cal advantage, the United Mine
Workers policy committee, still on
The ground here, might call a meet
inf and reconsider it's refusal"
Few of the operators really like
the terms of the Harding PROPOSE

the continuation Of the 1922 wage
scale would mean Financial ruin"
for the owners. They like even less

their businesses to government in

The origin of the mechanical
clock is, like that of so many
things, shrouded in mystery. A
mechanical clock was installed in

The Clock That Is Never Wound
The circuit through an electrae
magnet is alternately closed and
broken by a contact needle on q
torsional pendulum. With the clos
ing of the circuit, and the conssA
quent energizing of the magnet, an
armature is attracted and lifted
into contact with the magnet. Z Tho,
breaking of the circuit allows the
armatHre to drop, under gravity.l
and this drop revolves a ratchet
wheel which is connected with the
hands of the clock, short distance.
The pendulum does no mechanicat
work, acting only as a regulators
