THE MINER GOES ON STRIKE
BY H. G. WEISS

Down in the bowels Of the earth he digs for coal,
WELDING a pick above his sweating face;
There is no room within the space
To stand upright; he burrows like mole
And like a mole is all but Blind the light
Stuck in his cap is burning red, not white;
The dust is Sitting in the grimy place;
He coughs and spits . Thank God, they quit tonight
Come five o'clock; he gathers up his tools
And trudges to the cage-two miles
Tomorrow they'll be bringing up the mules
And sending in the gunner by the score.
The wife and kids--aw hell--he didn't know
Step it lively buddy, up go!

down in a minute. l must just take
these papers to Mr.. Ackroyd, and I'll

EDWARDS SEES SCHISM
FOR BOTH BIG PARTIES
Says Development Is Sure Unless
Way Is Found Out of lawful
Prohibition Mess"

Senator Edwards, Democrat of New
Jersey, made the prediction last night
that a schism would develop in both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties unless prohibition modification
legislation is enacted before next year.
'If wholesome and constructive
legislative enactment looking to way
out of this awful prohibition mess in
which the whole country. finds itself
today, is not consummated before next
year" he said. "Both the Republican
and Democratic parties will be rup-
tured with a schism in their 1928 con-
ventions and elections that viii equal
the proportions of bloodless reyo-
tuition.
Prohibition in its present form is
BIS unavoidable and impracticable as
democratic rule in Russia, and yet we
permit our citizens to be murdered
and tolerate a monstrous prohibition
graft and corruption with only the
weakest sort of protest"
