HARDcoAL STRIKE ON

Philadelphia, September The hard
coal suspension involving walkout
of $4,000 mine workers went into eff
feet at midnight as scheduled. 1t is
reported peaceable and so far as can
be learned, virtually 100 percent. eff
fectiue.
The assignment of the 10000 main
tenance men who return to the pits
by mutual arrangement to man pumps
and attend to the general upkeep dur
ing the suspension, was reported as
having gone through without hitch.
The first of the three full shifts in
sisted upon by the union went down
the shafts in time to relieve the night
shifts coming out.
The union made good its assurance
It would not resort to picketing,
which it explained would be uneces-
sary in view of the effectiveness of
the tieup.

Philadelphia, August 31st The clos
ing hours of the anthracite wage con-
tract, the expiration of which at mid
night goes down in coal history as zero
hour" for suspension of 1853, 900 min
ers, was marked by parting thrust
at thu mine owners by John L. Lewis
president of the United Mine Workers
of America.
Mr.. Lewis charged that the oper-
ators had capitalized public appre-
hension of suspension to boost their
sales of coal at enhanced prices. He
said the miners had no choice in the
present wage deadlock except to wait
until the operator, "having effected
a maximum public exploitation, will
be ready to discuss sanely the prob
lens of new contract"
The miners will present 100 per-
cent, solidarity in the present demon
stration, according to Mr.. Lewis who
pledged that the public need have no
fear Of disorders in the mining com
unities.

The Wheeling state fair will be held
next week. The Centeral West Virgin
ia fair will be held at Clarksburg Sep.
15-18. The Wetzel county fair is be-
ing held at New Martinsville Sept
3-5. The Lewis county fair will be
held Sept.7-10. The Braxton county
fair will be held Sept. 22-25. There
are many things to be said in favor
of fairs and about the only thing to
be said against them is that there is
a disposition in some quarters to per-
nit gambling and low carnivals.
Sheriff Roy V. Chidester, of Lewis
county, came out squarely against
gambling at the Lewis county fair
and although the forces wanting
gambling said they could line up three
ministers of the town who thought
merchandise wheels alright, the auth
critics did not weaken in their pos
ition. 1t is the American Legion which
Operates the merchandise wheels at
Weston-when they operate.

ing son, Patrick Grogan. helped to
mix the concrete, content with his
step-father's explanation of what he
was doing
"The cistern leaks I'll have to put
a new bottom in it."
When the relatives demanded an
investigation of Mrs. Young's disap-
pearance the dentist produced letters
purport;ng TO have been written by
her and indicating that she had gone
to Paris to obtain divorce In his
confession he explained she had writ

Unexpected Changes

4IVI for the unexpected.
Warm weather is not expected this time of
year in Alaska Alaskans in the region where the land
scape still retains its green are not congratu-
atng themselves upon the comparatively mild weather
they are experiencing
During the first ten days in November, according
to an Associated Press report from Anchorage the
age minimum temperature was 30 degrees That would
be considered cold in San Antonio where we are
toned to expect mild days in November much lower
temperature is expected in Alaska
Prospectors in remote sections, the report states,
have been waiting for the rivers to freeze SO that they
will be able to make their way out Many are reported
to be running short of provisions.
The prospector who is suffering is the one who car
ried only sufficient quantity of provisions for normal
season. He was not prepared for the unexpected
Are you and your family prepared for the death or
the disability of the provder? Are you conducting
affairs in expectation of old age? Are you preparing
yourself for the unexpected and the inevitable?

Figures Of Speech
"Enoch Arden"

An "Enoch Arden" is husband
who disappears, remains away
long time and returns 10 find his
wife, who has believed him to be
dead, married to another. To COM
plete the story he must not reveal
himself, but die OF n broken heart,
as did the returned sailor in Tenny-
sons poem "Enoch Arden"
"Enoch Arden" has been one OF
the best liked poems Of Tennyson,
and there have been TRANSACTIONS in
most II not all of the languages OF
Europe. Eugene Parsons, In his
pamphlet on "Tennyson's Life and
Poetry" names no less than twenty
four translations-n nine in German,
two in Dutch, one in Danish, one in
Bohemian, eight in French, one in
Spanish and two in Italian. That
was In 1893; probably there have
been other translations since that
time.
The story Of ''Enoch Arden" was
told to the poet by his friend Wool
ncr, the sculptor. A similar tale,
but with a different ending. Is found
in a poem entitled "Homeward
Bound" by Adelaide Anne Proctor.
