$4,000 Illinois Miners
Start Strike Today
Miners in $50 Coal Mines Stop
Labors-Workers in Other
Fields Not to Join

Chicago, March Midnight
To-Day has been set for a coal
strike in Illinois coal fields, which
is predicted to be 100 per cent eff
fectve unless miners make pro-
posals acceptable to operators in
the meantime. The strike will
stop the labors of $4,000 miners
in $50 mines. Ross Miller, presi-
dent Of the Illinois Coal Operat-
ors, said the walkout will affect
approximately 10000 coal dig
gers in the central competitive
field. He did not believe that min
ers in the unorganized fields, which
he estimated produce 70 per cent
of the country's bituminous coal
consumption will join the stcike
April 1.
Mr.. Miller said the mines in the
central competitive field which al
so includes western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indian and a section of
Iowa, will also shut down as the
miners wage agreement with the
operators expires April 1.
The miners are standing pat
for renewal of their $3.50 a day
wage scale and the operators aver
they cannot operate their mines on
that basis and compete with non
union fields.

PLANS FOR BOYS
BAND COMPLETED
G. Oliver Riggs Aids Com
mittee in Organization
Work
OVER 40 BOYS ENTER
Reliable Leader to Be Sc
lected-Parents Give
Hearty Support

At a meeting held in the Com
munity rooms Monday night, plans
were completed for the organiza-
ton of a boys band in this city.
Mr.. G. Oliver Riggs organizer of
the St. Cloud Boys Band and a
similar organization at Bemidji,
was present to help the committee
in this work.
Thirty-six boys were assigned to
instruments, with the view of Ia
weH-balanced band in mind. How
ever, it is expected that over forty
will be enrolled before final details
are completed.
Mr.. Riggs, in an interesting dis
course, presented the first princi-
pies of successful band. He
dwelt upon discipline, and coop
Grafton of the parents and boys
with the leader. He told of the
necessity of regular practice and
the good accomplished by strict
training. He picked boys for the
various instruments he thought
they would be fitted to play and adj
monished parents in the selection
of good instruments, stating that
beginners could not learn on some
thing that a professional could not
play.
After explaining the kinds of
instruments best fitted for a band
of this kind and the cost of each,
he selected six boys as cornetists,
six to play clarinets, six as tronp-
bone players, two bases, two bari
tones and several altos. Drummers
and others will be chosen later.
Supt. Falk, chairman of the
committee, which is composed of
B. Morgan and Fay Cooper, as
sured the parents that he would
give the band his hearty support
at all times and asked those pre-
sent to assure him of their sup
port. All of the parents present
We're enthusiastic over the prospect
of band sponsored by the COM
munity and voted unanimously to
help the boys.
Mr.. Falk stated that at the pre-
sent time the committee had sew
eral applications from leaders but
since they have no authority in this
matter, no one had been chosen to
fill the position. He said, however,
that a good reliable man would be
selected as soon as the committee
receives proper authority to pro,
coed.
The meeting was well attended,
not only by the boys, but by the
fathers and mothers as well, which
was an indication of the prevailing
sentiment and which has made the
organization work possible.

Bigger Butter Ball
Bill and Doughnut
Hole Measure Fail

Back to its author went the
bigger butter ball bill recent
ly, politely returned by the
same unfeeling house COM
mittee which also refused to
consider an amendment reg
ulating size of holes in dough-
nuts.
Representative Harry J.
johnson of Forreston wanted
more butter for his bread
than he has been getting in
St. Paul restaurants. So he
introduced bill in the legis-
lature requiring that a por-
ton of butter served in a pub
lie eating house must not
weigh less than half an ounce.
The general legislative COM
mittee considered the bill,
failed to pass motions recon-
mending it for passage and
killing it, and at last moved
to return it to its author.
Anything we can do to
increase production of but
ter in this state is worth
while" F. A. Green, speak
ing for the bill, said.
Michael Kramer, lining up
with him in favor of bigger
butter balls, agreed.
