HARD COAL USERS
WATCHING STRIKE
Only Moderate Supplies on
Hand as Miners Refuse to
Resume Work.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
srecin Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 5.-Manu-
Tacturers and householders in the
East are keeping one eye on the ther-
1nometer and the other on the an
1hraclte strike situation with no little
apprehension, while btuminous coal
producers in other sections of the
country are preparing to fill any
shortage. The situation admittedly
is precarious one in the anthracite
tields, for this is non-unfon strike
and so far has been beyond control
of the United Mine Workers.
About 1000 miners belonging to
o locals i'll the Pittston, Pa, district
struck at mines of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company, alleging failure of the
company to adjust grievances. Their
action was not approved by United
Mine Workers executives and they
were ordered by local officers and
President John l.. Lewis to return to
work. This they have refused to do.
and the charters of the locals have
been revoked All former members
Of those unions, therefore, now are
non-union men.
Small Amounts in Storage.
While mines in the anthracite field
have been working steadily since last
Autumn, stocks of anthracite are not
high. Consumers have nut off order
ing coal because Of the mild weather,
and supplies in their bins shortly
would be exhausted if not replen-
ished,
The revocation of the charters of
the rebeIlious locals made little i'm
preston on the strikers. In answer
20 pleas by local officers, they said:
charters cannot dig coal. Go back
and tell Lewis that" In fact, the
move had a more disorganizing effect
an the union ranks than on those eX-
PEELED. Rinaldo Cappellini, president
rf District No. I, embracing the an
rhracite field, is a member of one of
7he locals, and the rebels take the
stand that the edict Of President
Lewis has made Cappellini a non
union man and deprived him of all
authority to act for the mine work
erS. The same situation applies to
Alexander Campbell, national organ
lZer in the anthracite field, and John
Ruane, district board member. Until
some official ruling is made on their
status their efforts to compose the
difficulty are certain to be hampered.
Trouble of Long Standing.
The trouble is the outcome of an
unrest which has been felt in the
anthracite fields since the settlement
of the wage difficulties over a year
. go. When the agreement was signed
then Rinaldo Cappellini, district
president, stood on his head with JOY.
The radical members of his organiza-
t:on have kept him standing on his
head ever since, but not from JOY.
The conservative factions of the
mine workers are thoroughly satisfied
with his administration and so are
the mine owners and business people
of the district generally, tuU the rad
icals expected more direct action"
from Cappellini, who before he was
president was numbered among the
fiery elements.

PUTTING THE WORLD TO RIGHTS

Giovanni Papini in the introduction
to his Life of Christ says that Some
years ago the author Of this book
wrote another to describe the melan-
choly life of a man who wished for a
moment to become God. Now In the
maturity of his years and of his con-
seriousness he has tried to write the
life of a God who made himself man"
Most persons who have read the be
ginnings of the bible and have some
reverence for the failures Of the SER
pent with Adam and Eve will have
some hesitancy about trying TO be-
come God and will reverence the more
the success of God in making himself
man. Also they will not forget that
the most of mankind still would in
their best moments desire to be in
some relationship with God, yea more,
like TO be a relation 70 God, the more
intimate the blood-tie the better. Few
would be so s~acreligiously ambitious
as to have a purpose to be the only
Begoten" of God, but they may legi-
timately strive to be a younger broth
err of Gods son.
The promise of being such an one
of Gods children Is to those who have
a certain ~avocation in life. This is an
~avocation that the whole world Is CIV
Ing advice about and declaring with
it's almost every breath is the most
TO be desired work for an absolutely
necessary end. II is true that people
are saying they" should do it and
too much given to berating every
body lese for not being the they"
Too few care TO be the doors, how
ever much they may be willing to
give advice in the matter, or to pro
pose a scheme or a line of action.
There can hardly be a more blessed
person than the one VINO puts people
In harmony with another. But there
is a very common laxity of thought
about just what a peacemaker is. OF
course the first necessity is that the
one who would make peace shall him
self be at peace. No other n can do
It. Only he can meet the require
ments OF the case. The peace that any
one else would make will be found
to Re not peace. only something patch
ed up for the time and most likely q
breeder of further trouble.
But TO be at peace is not sufficient
for the position Of a child of God

REV. CARLETON BADLY
BURNED in GARAGE FIRE

In attempting to drive his car from
the burning garage. Rev. r. K, Tarle-
ton. formerly of this city, now pastor
at Hot Springs, suffered severe burns
about the head, and had a narrow es
cape from more serious injuries.

started from hot Goals in ashes, which
had been deposited near the garage.
The fire had panied considerable head
way when discovered, and had al
ready reached the automobile. In at
tempting to back the car out, parts
of the flaming top fell on Mr.. Tarle
toms head. He escaped from the burn
ing car and managed to get out OF
the garage, although he was compel
led to run through flames to do SO.
The garage, a destroyed, and the

Der of subjects during his address,

He vigorously attacked the coal
trust" claiming that In the anthracite
fields operators had been making
during the past three or four years
approximately twenty-seven per cent

were permitting labor to work only
two days and a half each week. He
stated that government Investigators

SER @ N
BY e T. J. SIMONS

Many a person ia content to be at
peace and thereby shows that he has
a small conception Of what peace is
and a greater tendency to spread and
innoculate the rest OF the world. For
rothing has a greater tendency TO
spread and iEnoculate the rest OF the
world than enmity between the seed
of the serpent and the seed of the wo-
man.
So IL comes about that n cannot
be at peace without making peace.
The blessings OF peace demand acti-
witty. IL nothing else does 1t graft
tude should prompt one TO strive for
the peace of the whole world. The
one who is reconciled to God through
the death of His Son Is really at
peace and he .also is the one who Ia
prompted by the love OF God to do
what is within his power to bring to
the world "the peace of God which
passeth all understanding" The way
of individual peace is the way OF
world peace. One is not going to
prove he is a son TO God except as hs
does what he can for the peace of the
world.
The conviction that peace is so de-
sirable in the world is the outcome
of the fact recognized that the world
is far from peace. II the world were
in any universal at peace the
people would not be talking about
peace. The people would be satisfied
In II and would be talking about some
thing else. That talking about some
thing else would be talking something
else. When people are thoroughly at
peace they talk peace, their whole
walk and conversation Is a promotion
of peace.
So it comes about that real peace
talk is the talk of the welfare OF the
family of God. Blessed are the peo-
pie whose conversation is the good
Of the people of God. While 1t is not
all to be called a son of God, this IL
one instance in which the reputation
goes with the character OF the man.
So we must say that he who Is really
a peace maker will get the name OF
being Gods son and that will be q
blessing and he will be blessed In the
reality OF being such. Besides which
he --.:i IN the reaction to the plaudits
of those who have been benefited By
his efforts be made more efectually
q maker OF peace.

"The love of God is shed abroad in
your hearts by the Holy Ghost. Use
what power you have and you will
