Thanksaivinu of the puritans In
Plymouth, 1870
A day Of Thanksgiving was set apart,
BY the Puritans of old
Whose lives we're firm and simple
With hearts as pure as gold.
Strong and staunch their faith
That severed ties across the sea:
Cheerfully leaving friends and home
To worship their God in liberty.
Those hearts meier wavered.
Men of grace and maidens fair to
see.
With one unceasing prayer,
Crossed the wild, unknown sea-
On bleak New England's shore
Those brave Pilgrims In silence trod
And knelt on frozen ground
To offer their thanks unto God.
by Clara Dunbar Dudley, Boston, OF
Pilgrim Ancestry.

Ten Days for Coal Agreement.

Failure of the anthracite conference
at Atlantic City does not necessarily
mean that there will he a strike Of
miners ard the suspension of coal
production a week from Saturday
next Ten days remain in which an
agreement may be effected. to submit
the matter to arbitration on terms ac-
ceptabe TO the union, or to continue
mining pending a settlement of the
wage scale, which is now the chief
obstacle in the negotiations.
Two levers to force settlement are
available to the Federal Coal Commits
sion, which represents the public in
terest. One of these is the substitution
for anthracite of other fuels, prepara-
tion for which has been made on a
scale to insure against serious priva-
lion throughout the anthracite sup
piled fields. The other is the report of
the Coal Commission on the situation,
which will, it is announced. when sub
mitted. squarely place the blame for
the failure of negotiations and so focus
public opinion against that side which
is accountable for the deadlock.
The people must have fuel. prefer
ably anthracite in those regions where
that fuel is Of common use and for
which the heating appliances are now
adjusted. 1t is inconceivable that the
country will he denied the means Of
making heat to warm homes during
the coming winter. The full powers
of the government. so far as they are
now warranted. will undoubtedly be
applied TO this end. There is no pres
ent authority to take over and oper-
ate the mines. But that authority may
he secured from the Congress. which,
il is not to be doubted, would in the
emergency quickly grant the neces-
sary legislation.
In these ten days the strongest
pressure will be exerted without ques-
tion to compel the two sides to reach
the point of agreement, if only an
agreement To arbitrate, and mean
while to continue mining. This present
condition is not novel. 1t has arisen
repea tedly in the past, and each time
the public grows less patient. 1t has
now reached the point of such inn
patience that d strike, wherever lies
the blame. is likely to be the cause Of
drastic action which will henceforth
protect the users of anthracite from
both eXtOrtion and priVation.
