BUSINESS men
Urged to Buy Coal Mined
in Own States

BY International Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind.-Officials of the
United Mine Workers of America are
interested in the efforts being made
in several of the organized states of
the bituminous coal fields to induce
the coal consuming public of those
states to burn "home coal"
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Ohio
have campaigns under way to this
end. 1t is probable that Indiana will
shortly follow suit. In all the states
enumerated more shipped-in coal is
consumed than is mined in the states.
In Ohio, Iowa and Kansas twice as

masters pledged the active support of
their respective groups to nation
wide educational campaign for the
support of the Kelly Edge bill, which
is known as senate bill No. 1898.
The postal workers declare that
this bill more nearly meets the need
of men and women in the postal-serv-
ice than any other measure, and a
vigorous educational campaign will
assure its passage.

Reflection is good for the
souls of men and move
ments. We are now en-
barked upon a great p0liti-
cal campaign. We are in a
great struggle, putting into
1t all of our strength.
We are uniting in this
struggle because great prin-
ciples are at stake. These
principles involve our free
dom and our rights to live
our lives as freemen's lives
should be lived.
The outcome of this p0lit-
ical struggle will be to a
large extent a measure of
our ability to pull together
for the common welfare and
for commonly held prin-
ciples.
If we fail to hold together
and work together and vote
together it will mean that
democracy and freedom are

Oh. he was perfectly gorgeous

GENIAL MEIGHAN
IN A $3.50
STORY

Tongues of Flames" with the
ever-popular Thomas Meighan as
its star, In the feature photoplay
at the Palace Theater this week.
The picture itself is bit dis
appointing, simply because we
have come to expect of a Thomas
Meighan picture something above
the ordinary. This failure to
make his picture take its place
with THE Miracle Man." "Cappy
Kicks" and all the rest is sure
ly not the fault of the star.
He is still the dependable, ad-
mirable, herman hero, grasping
at each faint straw for action,
but the straws are rev, very
few, and far between. Very poor
direction and a most implausible
story add their share to the
downward trend.
The story is of the trouble be-
tween a tribe Of Siwash Indians
and the inhabitants of a city built
upon their rightful land across
the river. Henry Harrington,
(Mr. Meighan) retaining his posi-.
ton as the Indians friend and
champion after his return from
the war, whence he led a COM
pany Of young braves, acts as
intermediary between the two
factions, A legal decision gives
the city to the Indians, and it's
inhabitants, rather than be dis,
possessed, set fire to the place.
Harrington, who. has been falsely
accused Of theft, leaves his cell
long enough to gather his red
comrades together, and at the
point Of their guns save the city
from destruction. A Iove inter-
est runs throughout but is Sec
ondary to the central theme.
Bessie Love, Eileen Percy and
John Miltern are In the supper t.
ing cast.
There is also a very funny
comedy, Walter HERS In IA Fat
Chance" which shares honors Of
the bill. Pathe News and a Ly-
man Howe hodgepodge are, an
usual, full of interest, and the

The midway will have every sort of
stand and pleasure device where the
merrimakers will have an opportuni-
ty to have their fun and fill up on hot
dogs and red lemonade.
