This hootch is worst of any town,
1t brings a lot of woes;
You'd better turn bootleggers down
Ere you turn up your toes.
A Louisville man has become
obsessed with the idea that he is the
devil. Now the moral is: Don't
believe everything your wife tells
you.
A little learning is dangerous

As proof, pray take the case
OF some sweet maid
When first she learns
To decorate her face.
What persons regulate to their
speech
Depends on what they would reach;
The man who asks you for a loan
Likely talks in softest tone.

clude that circumstances didn't

Thursday will be the annual re-
~currence of Columbus Day, which
will be appropriately celebrated all
over America. But we are willing
to bet that when Columbus discov-

of an old pair of pants.
The man whose thirst impels him
to purchase liquor from a bootlegger
can judge by simple test whether

Just pour the entire contents of

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 80 Except for
the Pittsburgh Coal Company, the
bituminous coal strike in the union
field cf western Pennsylvania passed
into history late to-day when the Pitts
burgh Coal Producers Association, the
chief combination of operators in this
district, signed supplemental agree
ment with tho United Mine Workers to
reopen afty-four mines. employing
l2,500 men, under sthe terms Of the
Cleveland settlement.
The settlement, bitterly opposed by
the association both before and after
1t was negotiated in the interstate joint
conferences Of operators, provides;
Re-establishing the union wages as
they existed March 81, 1929, when the
strike began the 1920 % wages and
the then existing working conditions,
including the check-otf or collecting by
the company Of union dues and assess
ments, until March 81, 1929
New Wage Agreement Next March
Agreement to enter a representative
Joint conference of operators and mine
Cleveland to arrange for negotiating
new wage agreement after March
81 next
Agreement to participate in the Sc
lection of. joint commission of OPP
orators and mine workers, whose per-
sonnel is to be approved by President
Harding, to make fact-hnding study
of the bituminous coal industry Of the
country.
The Pittsburgh Coal Company was
unable, although representing one-half
of the tonnage of the association, to
prevent the other thirty-five companies
In the association from negotiating an
agreement with the workers. 1t there
upon withdrew entirely from the or
ganization which it founded quarter
of century ago, and stepped out of
group in which it held the chief
Offices and which it for years domi-
mated.
The Pittsburgh Coal Company will
now, apparently, carry on its fight
against the check-off to which 1T
chiefly objected, and be practically
alone among the large coal companies
of the country doing so.
This company controls about 22 per
cent of the Pittsburgh districts goal
production, or about 12,00o,000 of the
estimated annual production OF bu,uUU,-
600 tons. and owns ffty-five mines,
only about forty of which, however,
have operated in normal times, all
heretofore on union basis.
