ants were moving. He advised that
she plan to repaint and redecorate
the place-put in hardwood floors and
a heating system and she could double
the rental.
Spend about a thousand dollars.

investment. The place won't rent
again unless you improve it. I'm

Mr.. Warrener thereupon strongly

that the retail dealers Of New York
City lay in q stock of soft coal.
1t appears that the operators are
"all set" for a protracted strike, for
they are determined to hold out in

cardinal principles, n wage agreement
which they regard as economically
sound and some guaranty that during
future wage negotiations the men
will continue at work. They are will

for anthracite through the definite
adoption Of substitutes by part of
the public in order to gain this. On
the other hand, it is known that the
miners union regards this also as ID

scale of pay. but to obtain the CHECK

dues.
1t is estimated that the strike is
costing the miners about i million dol
lars Il day in lost wages. 1t is at the
same time costing the operators sew

for overhead. upkeep and fixed
charges. Neither side is getting any

According to the reports at the
headquarters of the operators the
miners are becoming restive and anx
ious TO return TO work. They have al
ready lost heavily and are forced to
draw on their savings. They can see
small chance of an increase Of wages
through strike settlement that will
yield them a net gain beyond their
losses Of the past eight weeks. They
have had a "holiday.' on strike pay
from the union, and are ready and, if
ruuor is true, eager to get back into
the mines. But they are held by the
iron-clad rule of obedience to orders.
OF course, If their wish to return to
work becomes dominant they can
write their own orders by voting III

negotiations.
Meanwhile the public suffers, in

such fuel as can be had. The struggle

John Paul Jones.

II was appropriate that on the eve
of the celebration of Navy day, the

Paul Jones was second with 6S. Only
these two of twenty-seven nominees

immortals, 65 ballots being necessary
for q choice.
John Paul Jones was born a Scotch
man, July 6, 1747, and died in Paris
July lS, 1892. But he is regarded by
the people of this country as an
American. His settlement In Vir-
ginia shortly before the Revolu-

American status. On the opening of
hostilities he enthusiastically volun-
teered his services in behalf Of his
