that John l.. Lewis, miners chief,
will call meeting here of all coal
operators of the country willing to
negotiate wage agreements on dis
trict or national basis were in circu-
lation here today
The reports could not be verified,
however, Ohio operators asserting
that they knew nothing of it,"
The rumors followed the state
ment of Lee Hall, president of the
Ohio branch of the miners as he
left Martins Ferry, Ohio, for Phila-
delphia to confer with Lewis.
"a conference probably will be
held with the operators in Cleye-
land Saturday" all said.
At first, it was stated that only
the Ohio operators who have been
willing to meet with the miners for
scme time would be present. Later,
it was predicted that Lewis will ask
all operators who are willing to CON
fer on district or a national basis to
attend.
This move, Ohio operators pointed
out, would freeze out" the insur-
gent operators who are holding out
for wage agreements at the mines.

Efforts of county authorities to

three others, including his father.
A court order that declared kill.
ing Fredeking in an effort to make
the arrest would render any county
officer or private citizen liable to a
murder indictment, has slowed up
his capture.
State police, however, will not be
amenable to this ruling.
Fredeking fled to his fathers
house after creating a disturbance

ago and since has repulsed attacked
after attack.
On several occasions the house

BEATING THE VOLSTEAD
ACT TAUGHT IN ONE LESSON

Here is new way they are passing
around in which the thirsty may beat
the Volstead act without embarrassing
the raisin market. A salesman was in
the office the first of the week offering
to ship by prepaid express, a case of
pure, unfermented grape juice. pack
ed in alright cans.
The price of a case was, without
doubt, a reasonable one, considering
the fact that the salesman gives clear,
concise and easily followed directions
for making the said grape juice into
a "l6 per cent, pure grape wine .
which as an addition to a private So
cial event, will ''loosen the tongues Of
the guests, break the social ice, and
make things pleasanter."
We don't know where the salesman
is staying, SO can not give anyone in
formation as to where to find him. But
he seemed we'll trained man, and if
you go down into your cellar and make
a noise like a thirsty barfiy, no doubt
he will find you and take your order.

UNLAWFUL
Letters Being
RECEIVED

Several local people have lately re
ceived letters from one, C. Flaven-
krone, Kronprinsensgade, Copenhag-
en-, Denmark, offering for sale at $40
a quarter-interest in a lottery ticket,
which the writer states is the Win
ming ticket in the Grand National Lot
terry of Denmark Despite the fact
that the letters bear Austrian stamps,
and are postmarked "Wien" (Vienna) !,
the request is that money be sent to
the Copenhagen address. A wholetic-
ket is offered for forty dollars or a
half interest in the ticket at twenty.
The studied impression given is that
the offer is confidential one and that
the writer has advance information
that the ticket he will send has the
winning number.
Copies of the letter are in the hands
of Postmaster A. L. Fontaine, who will
call them to the attention of the Pos
tai Inspection Department and have
the matter investigated, as matter per
