Halt Move for
UniOnizati0n Soft
Coal Mines in Indiana

Evansville, Ind, Jan. 6.-(AP)--
Unionization Of the bituminous coal
mines in southern Indiana. under way
since Monday. halted temporarily to-
day.
Marching to the Crescent and
Sunnyside shafts here at dawn. an
army of union men bent upon bring
ing into the Union the 800 men en-
ployed there, agreed upon confer
ence at 2 p. NJ. with the non-union
employees who returned to work pend
ing the meeting. A campaign to
unionize three mines at Yankeetown,
near here, was held in allegiance un-
til after the meeting here this after
noon.
With six non union mines closed in
Warrick county yesterday by a
peaceful campaign" in which the
men marched from mine to mine ana
brought the non union workers into
the union, the union miners were GER
tain today that all of the non union
mines would be closed by night.
The next step will be up to the
operators whose leader, Walter Korff,
already has asked for state troops to
safeguard any attempt the owners
make to reopen the mines with nom
union workers.
The only non union mines in IN
diana have been these shafts in the
territory around Evansville. They
have been working many months.
Saturday the union forces set out to
convert the non union miners and to
close the pits unless the operators
agreed to pay the scale called for In
the Jacksonville agreement for, the
bituminous industry.
The operators say they cannot OPP
crate at profit on the Jacksonville
scale, which calls for a wage in the
neighborhood of $3.50 day, and the
union men have declined offers to
share in cooperative working of the
mines. Their present drive is direct
ed at the noli union workers. who
have been mining coal at 50 to So d
day less than the Jacksonville scale.
The union men have encountered
no difficulty thus far in persuading
the non union workers to Join the un-
ion. Approximately thousand nom
union miners have been employed in
southwestern Indiana of whom but
800 remained at work today.

other. She "hangs on every word"
uttered by her idol. She is miserable
away from her. There is a touch of
hero worship about the relationship
that shuts out friendship. for that is
a reciprocal matter. While the per-
son idealized cannot avoid feeling
somewhat flattered by being thought
so perfect, still she usually is actually
bored by it's insistence. She wishes
she could free herself from the other
occasionally without wounding her
feelings. 80 But this is difficult. If the
other knows she is enjoying some one
else without her reproaches follow.
Jealousy enters into such a friendship
and rob it of it's beauty.
Friendship i'm Families.
Families in which the members are
friends know the true happiness of
home life as no others can. Each
person rejoices in the thought of good
things coming to others. Each one
makes the other appear to best ad-
vantage. The members are congenial
without each person necessarily being
engrossed in the same subject. They
are quick to note opportunities for
others. They have due respect for
one another's opinions while not being
overpowered in their own notions.
They are. in short. as nearly an ideal
group of persons as il is possible to
find.
One of the greatest helps in acquir-
ing the power Of friendship is to see
the best in others. Every one can
learn TO do this, for it is matter
of the practice of kind thinking
