FOR MARRIED
FLOORS
BY Hannah Wing.

=
An Authority on All Matters Per-
tanning to the Household.
It often seems that no sooner
does one get floor well fin
ished and in fine condition
than something happens to mar
it. Either accidents occur which
spot it, or unusually hard wear
destroys the finish along the lines
Of greatest travel.
Vanished floors require some
oil. as varnish gradually dries
out, becomes brittle and wears
away quickly unless it is oiled
occasionally. To care for such
floors, sweep them with a soft
brush or mop and then give them
a good rubbing with floor oil or
kerosene. Only enough oil or
kerosene should be used to just
moisten the cloth or mop used,
for If any remains on the surface
Of the floor it catches dust, and
this tracked into the floor will
darken both the finish and the
wood. A very light floor oil should
be selected.
On the other hand, waxed floors
should not be treated with oil Of
any sort. Oil softens the wax,
and in this state it soon collects
dust and dirt. Waxed floors
should be brushed with q soft
brush or mop entirely free from
oil. Occasionally the waxed floor
should be given a thorough clean
ing with a cloth wrung out of
warm, soapy water or moistened
with turpentine or gasoline, which
is better still. Overmuch water
will dull or whiten the luster of
wax, and the use of gasoline or
turpentine will prevent much pol
isling to restore the finish after
the floor is cleaned.
This cleaning will remove the
dirty, dingy film Of wax and leave
the surface again bright and
easily polished. Wherever the floor
has the hardest wear the surface
will need more frequent coating
thin wax and polishing. Where
only moderate use occurs rewax-
ing two or three times a year
should be sufficient.
In waxing floors the most com.
mon error is to apply too much
wax. The surplus wax remains
on the surface in q, soft coat and
collects dirt: Weighted brushes
are necessary to give a waxed
floor a high, brilliant and hard
finish. A new electrical device
has recently been placed on the
market which relieves much of
labor Of polishing floors.
Floors finished by oiling should
be swept with a soft brush and
given a final dusting with an
oiled cloth or mop.

tho are of a tone that indicates that
the life of the general grievance
bodies is going to be shot to pieces
by being outlawed While there is
nothing to indicate that the officers
have decided on such action, it is
well known that the constitution is
very flexible on the subject and the
only thing that is necessary to outlaw
them is an order to that effect.
These bodies have been a good
thing for the miners, they have pro-
vided a means of centralizing their
strength and power, for at regular
intervals men from each of the
mines meet at a central point and
the grievances at each of the mines
are aired and action is decided upon.
Need for Protection.
Mention of this is made so that
the miners will begin now to protect
themselves against any attempt to do
away with the general grievance COM
mittees, for to allow this weapon to
slip out of their hands will mean the
end of the only meager bit Of protec-
ton the anthracite miners have to
depend on. What should be done is
to merge the different grievance
bodies into an all-embracing general
body, whose first task would be to
bring about some degree of uniformi-
ty in wage schedules and working
conditions. All power to the workers
who pay the bills, prepare to replace
the tyrants who now rule instead Of
serving you, with men who know
your needs and fear not to fight for
them.

the threats made against the miners
in this respect. They have been known
to laugh at the grievances brought
before them, telling the men that they
dare not strike.
Strike BeIated
The Glen Alden strike was called
and took effect in spite of the warning,
and it should have been called long ago
by the the officials, if they were at all
concerned in the welfare of the mem
bership. Onthe same day another gener-
al strike of another coal company was
averted by the action of the company
in ordering some of their employees
to join the union. This was the Hud-
son Coal Co. but their action was
not taken until they could see that
the general grievance body meant
business and had assembled to take
a strike vote. At the meeting there
appeared a representative of the coal
company, a district official and a fed
eral mediator
Several strikes of local character
were also had at the mines of the
Pennsylvania Coal Co., and one Of
them held out after all the others had

it's all because the men are treated
