DURATION OF STRIKE is UP
TO OWNERS OF COAL MINES
CONTINUED from Page II

(ConClnueu from rage
months past we have fought hard
to induce the bituminous coal oper-
ators to keep faith with us and with
the government and meet us in joint
conference so that a new wage and
working agreement might be made
THAT would maintain industrial peace
and prevent public inconvenience.
"In joint conference held in the
city of New York on the 31st of
March, 1920, two-year agreement
was signed covering wages and
working conditions in the mining in
dustry for that period. In this basic
agreement appears the following
provisions:
"'Resolved That an interstate
joint conference be held prior to April
l, 1922, the time and place of hold
ing such meeting is referred to a
committee of two operators and two
miners from each state herein rep
resented, together with the interna-
tional officers of the United Mine
Workers organization
Charge of Broken Faith.
"This arrangement was part of
the agreement, equally as binding as
any other provision, and was duly
executed in writing through the at
tachment of the signatures of the
operators and mine workers repre-
sentatives. 1t was pledge morally
as binding as any bond or promissory
note ever executed in a business
transaction. The mine workers of the
country believed that the coal oper-
ators signed the agreement in good
faith, but we now find that they con-
tumaciously refuse to live ly to their
agreement. They have refused to
pointblank to do as they agreed they
would do. If they were to refuse to
liquidate their financial obligations
it would be no more dishonorable
than their refusal to keep their SOL
emn agreement with the mine work
ers. On two occasions since the
month of December, 1921, the oper-
ators have been formally invited by
the mine workers representatives to-
meet in joint conference at desig-
mated time and place for the pur-
pose indicated in the agreement. On
each occasion our invitation has been
refused an dour efforts have been in
vain. In assuming this attitude the
operators do not deny that they are
contract-breakers. Mr.. P. H. Penna,
of Indiana, who for nearly two dec
AIDES has been the chief spokesman
for the coal operators Of the central
competitive field, in recent public
said:
"T cannot deny that GU refusal
to meet is a violation of our agree
ment.'

He's awfully jolly, and like him. He
brings me the loveliest boxes of candy,
and calls me Puss. q don't like that,

me- Miss Anderson.) He's not nearly
so good-looking as the violinist. The
yiolinist is lots more thrilling, but l
shouldn't wonder If Mr.. Easterbrook
was more comfortable to live with.
The violinist is the kind of a man
that makes you want to sit up and

finger nails and shoes just right; hut
with Mr. Easterbrook you wouldn't
mind a bit sitting in big chair be-
fore the fire with pair of old slippers

Mr.. Easterbrook doesn't care for
music. He's broker. He looks aw-
fully bored when the violinist Is play

His automobile is bigger and hand

Just before the time approaches for
collecting of the dues?
Have you trembled through and
through when you very sweet

"Your Church subscriptions due?
Has the member ever viewed you
with look both mild and
meek,
Saying, 81 forgot to bring it, but I'll
pay next week."
And when next week" came round,
you were once more put to
rout,
When you walked some ways to see
him and found the party out,
Have you ever asked for money and
received an injured look?
With, "Pll pay this time, but then re-

book"
Have you ever tried collecting for
cause both great and true,
When you paid unwillingly as IA

Have you ever had a person, before
the sum was due, not to wait
for you to come round, but pay
the amount to you?
There's excitement in this office for
your in suspense,
But when at last the money comes,
All, there's the recompense.
If you think the cause is worthy,
your duty you will not shirk,
But to get the money promised, you'll
work and work and work, T.
And now kind subscribers, here's they
word that's meant for you,
Please try to pay your money, when
the time is due.
And to you hard working treasurer,

COLLECTOR RESIGNS
Who VIII Succeed COmings Is the
Question


H. c. Comings, U. S. collector of
customs of this district, with head
quarters in st. Adams, has resigned
for political reasons. Mr.. Comings
is credited by the treasury depart
ment with having conducted the
affairs of his Office in a very credit
able manner.
The resignation is to take effect
December 81, and Mr.. Comings' sue
cessor, republican, will take office
Jan. l, 1928. President Harding will
probably send to the Senate for con-
tirmation the name of a republican
soon after the converting of Congress
IN regular session in December
There are three candidates to sue
coed Mr.. Comings: Harry C. White
hill, editor of The Waterbury Record,
who has been in the employ of the
republican national committee rails
ing campaign funds; John T. Cush-
ing, editor of The St. Adams Mes
senger, and George Carpenter of
Montpelier, state purchasing agent. 4
Up to this time there has been no
meeting of the Vermont congressional
delegation to consider the endorse
ments to be presented by any of the
candidates.
Mr.. Comings was appointed collec-
tor of customs by President Wood
row Wilson. While he holds a COM
mission which does not expire until
late next year, he last July COM
pleted eight years as a customs col
lector. When Mr. Comings first took
office there were two customs districts
in Vermont and he was collector of
the western district for some months
before the consolidation took place
and he was appointed collector for the
enlarged district.
