mostly fuel oil.
One Scare FIivered.
During February 1915 the hard coal
operators first put forth their alarmist
propaganda, that oil heating plants
were being installed in the homes Of
those who could afford it, in New
England states. The statement was
partially true. Many wealthy people
who could afford the high initial cost
of installing an oil plant, and an en-
gineer to operate it, had done so.
The mine workers at that time re-
piled, that they knew the tendency
would be, amongt he wealthy. to use
the high priced oil plants, but pointed
out that the natural growth of popu-
lation in the industrial sections Of the
Atlantic seaboard country, would call
for vastly increasing amount OF the
anthracite commodity. that would
more than make up any displacement
made by fuel oil, gas. electricity, or
any other substitute, and since 1916

organizers and funds.
Want Union to Come In.
Negro miners are striking even bet

work has been shut down for a long
time and now the operators are try

If the union would make an effort
the whole region would be on strike.
The miners are ready to come into

STRIKE RUINS
HOSPITALS IN
The ANTHRACITE
Shortage of Crippled
Miners PincheS
BY AUGUST VALENTINE.
(wo '<er correspondent)

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. IL With
the anthracite coal strike we'll in its
third month, the miners are begin
ming to feel Uncomfortable in the re-
eion Of their stomach. The chief
topic at the present time is relief
in practically every local union meet
ing. It is only natural that It should
be for the miners know Of no other
source to obtain cent on which to
live other than from their union.
AS yet the bureaucracy fails to
heed the demand for relief Many To-
cal unions have already exhausted
their relief funds with no other in
come in sight. If the strike will con-
niue very much longer, which pres
mt indications point to it will, much
uffering will be experienced by the
miners of the anthracite field.
Petty shopkeepers Punched.
The miners are broke, that is no
secret. Those who have at least a
few dollars are economizing very dill
gently. The business element, too,
feels the strike when the miners are
in position Of this kind. Their bust
ness is affected. They must rely ex-
clusively upon the patronage Of the
mining population for their profits
When the miners go broke they. too,
are affected.
This is one Of the reasons why the
business men Of the anthracite field
are so anxious to have the strike set
tied. by attempts thru their organiza-
ti0ns, the chzhsbers OF commerce, the
Rotary, the Kiwanis clubs, etc. The
little robber is getting the worst of
it. They don't get the big profits, the
coal combine gets that.
Shortage Of Broken Backs.
Something else is affected by the
prolonged tie-up also. There is much
worry over this particular PROPOSE
ton The hospitals are losing their
patronage. For the past two and
half months no miners with broken
necks, backs and bodies have been
guests at these cheerful institutions,
much to the sorrow of the directors
of the Wilkes-Barre hospitals who are

TIPS ON BRAKE BANDS.
How They Should Be Adjusted for
Use in Wet Weather

In wet weather there should be less
brake band clearance so that there VIII
be less possibility Of the brakes be-
coming water-logged. If you cannot
adjust the bands without sacrificing
equalization the next best thing is to
take up on the turnbuckles or the foot
pedal position so that as much lever
age as possible can be obtained when
using the brakes. In other words, If
the bands can't be made tight enough
to keep out the water at least see
that the brakes are efficient enough so
that the water can be quickly
squeezed out when you want TO stop.
This rule applies as well to hydrauli
four.wheel brakes. Bands for four
wheel brakes are usually adjusted for
greater clearance than for the two
wheel variety, but TO drive out the
water in stopping, the brakes should
be adjusted so that there is no slack
in the foot pedal. With the hydraulic
system simply pump up the pressure
from the reserve tank under the hood
