1,4OO MINERS
ON STRIKE IN
WILKES-DARRE
Company Refuses to
Adjust Grievances
81 a Worker correspondent.

WiLKES-5ARRE Pa, Nov. "a
Fourteen hundred miners at the Pros
pect and Henry mines of the Lehiuh
Valley Coal company have gone on
strike following refusal Of the COM
pany to adjust grievances arising out
of the loading Of coal cars. The
workers have beer doeked from two to
three cars Of cofhea week because Of
the method Of loading required BY
the company.
The miners demand that topping of
loaded cars be six inches from the
face, instead of at the breaker, a
practice which now allows much coal
to fall off the cars, for which the
workers receive no pay.
Refuse to Meet Committee.
When the company refused to meet
the local unions grievance commit
tee the strike was called. The COM
pany officials declared they would
meet only with Rinaldo iCappellini.
President of District No. 1. United
Mine Workers. Cappellini was invit-
ed by the local union to attend the
special meeting, and after promising
to attend failed to show up.
cappellinl Denounced.
Cappellini's action and the declara.
ton of the company that they would
meet Cappellini is causing feeling to
run high here against the district
president. He is charged with being
more friendly to the company than to
the unionists.
The local union officials declare the
men will remain on strike until their
demands are met and the local com
mittee recognized.

SUPERVISION OF
COUNTY'S MONEY
WISELY HANDLED

Mrs. Josephine NJ Adair, can
didatc fdr Il second term us county
treasurer, states that she believes
that office one of the most impor-
tant in the county for the reason
that it is the only office which can
be made income producing. Vast
sums of money are handled each
year and if the funds are not kept
work. ing il is the taxpayer s loss.
Mrs. Adair is one of the pioneer
business women, having entered the
business field twenty years ago,
when few women were competing in
that field. Eighteen years ago she
came to Imperial Valley where she
has had valuable experience. During
the war she was Il clerk for the
exemption board which position she
filled with the utmost satisfaction.
Later Mrs. Adair was appointed
deputy in the county treasurer s of
flee, and was holding that position
when the system of bookkeeping
now in use in that office was in
stalled. This system is said to be
worth thousands of dollars to the
county since il enables the treas
urer to know the cash balance in
any of the 2l6 funds at any time
and the amount of cash available
in any one fund. The result is that
warrants do not have to be regis
tered. which fact alone saved the
county ) per cent on all debit funds
during Mrs. Adair 5 term of office.
Mrs. Adair WAS elected county
treasurer in 1920. and since that
time she has earned for the tax
payer interest amounting to S9'',
.ij7.41 Receipts for each wear since
she has been in office have amount
ed to over two aud half million
dollars. while disbursements have
never been less than two million,

"Kecp him there This is the

careful thought the slogan means
even more than ut first reading,

years in Iowa and Minnesota en-

Importance OF
Careful Measuring

Careful measurements are abso-
lutelv necessary To insure the best
results. The dry ingredients III any
recipe which includes baking pow
der, salt. spices and flour, must be
measured accurately and sifted all
together two or three times. Such
ingredients as spices and baking
rowdcr do not require sitting be
fore measuring, but from standing
in the boxes or cans they settle
Therefore they should be stirred
TO Tighten.
All measurements should h'
made level. This is especially true
when using a strong baking powder.
To measure d teaspoon or table
spoonful dip spoon il the ingrcdI'
cnt. fill. and level with Il knife. The
same is true when measuring a
cupful if flour or sugar, fill lightly
with a spoon. then level with
knife: if liquid measure the re.
uuircd amount in measuring cup.
In measuring solid fats. PACK
down tight INTO a cup until II
reaches the mark indicating the re
qnircd amount. If all Of these
points are observed in baking, the
rrca+cst of success win be the re

own protection, an officer who can
put the fear Of the law into the
criminal element. at the same time
giving the honest citizen square

One fallacv that arose when the
sheriff was making his campaign
four wears ago, has been diSproved

he knows nothing of business at,

MORE POWER

Backed by Administration sup
port, Gen. Lincoln G. Andrews, dry
car, appeared before the Senate
Prohibition Committee today to
urge the enactment of new teeth"
for the Volstead act.
Andrews met with the COMMITTEES
in secret session. explaining the
administrations nine proposed
amendments to the national dry
law. Each proposal would
strengthen the powers of the Gov
eminent to suppress bootlegging.
He asked the creation OF new
border patrol, additional powers to
war against smugglers in coastWise
waters, and a bill giving the prohi-
bition unit power to revise annually
the list Of industrial alcohol users.
He told Congress that bootlegging
of industrial alcohol presented the
Governments biggest problem in
enforcing prohibition.
There were indications the COM
mittee would report favorably only
his recommendation for administra-
tive changes, as Republican leaders
in Congress are opposed to action
this session on any controversial
matters.
