FARMERS DONATE
JOHANNESBURG
OF COAL Miners
Vice-Pres. P. Murray
Says Davis Intervenes

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Nov. 24-Hun-
dreds of coal miners families, already
evicted, spent Thanksgiving today in
barracks built for them by the min
ers' union. Quarters may have been
little close, but the miners were
glad they at least had shelter over
them.
They were presented foods and
staples by farmers on lands surround
ing the "barrack communities" one
settlement reported the farmers had
presented it with five steers to but
cher for today's meal. Other sections,
particularly throughout Western
Pennsylvania, reported donations Of
other foodstuffs.
Murray Is Thankful.
Phillip Murray, international vice.
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, has issued statement
saying that the coal miners on strike
in Pennsylvania have much to be
thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.
The little things that go to make
up the LTduILlOtldl thanksgiving were
lacking in hundreds of homes
throughout the soft coal fields. Muir
ray said.
However, in spite Of this, Murray
announced: Eyes, the miners have
many things to be thankful for" and
alluded to a newspaper story that
Secretary of Labor Davis will call
conference of u. M. W. A. officials
and operators soon. The committee
from the American Federation of La
Dor conference in Pittsburgh, when
visiting President Coolidge a few
days age, asked him to call such
conference. The Pittsburgh Terminal
Coal Co., guilty of many Of the evic-
tons in Pennsylvania, has not agreed
to any such conference, reports say,
but has not declared that it would
not participate.
The evicted miners themselves
celebrating the holiday under difficult
circumstances, were highly skeptical
of the success of any government in
reference to accomplish anything for
them, and much more inclined to rely
on their own strength than their Of
ficers.

Arrest Two Men for
Killing Of Noyeri
Gang Feud Is Seen

Two men were arrested yesterday
for investigation in connection with
the death of Jacob A Meyer, alias
Jack Meyer, alleged paymaster of
gangsters hired by the right wing
administration of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America to ter
rorize the left wing in the union.
1t is said he organized a gangster
squad against the Furriers' Union in
it's last strike. Formerly he was
business agent of Local of the
Ama1gamated Clothing Workers.
Meyer was shot and killed on the
sidewalk at Broadway and E. 18th st.
late Wednesday afternoon. Scores of
pedestrians ran from the fussilade of
bullets, one of which entered Meyers
chest.
Hired "Frenchy's" Gang. .-.
1t was reported that the killing Of
Meyer was the outgrowth of gang
rivalry for the income from the bust
ness of terrorizing labor union left
wing groups. In the past "Frenchy's"
gang is said to have obtained the.
lions share of the Meyers payroll.
Meyer was a member of the cloth
ing firm of Meyer and Friedman, 636
Broadway. Jacob Friedman his part
ner, was also a former official of the
Amalgamated, it is said. They were
permitted to violate union regulations
in the conduct of their shop, rank
and file workers charge. -->'.'-'.
Gang warfare broke out anew yes
terday.
The body of a man, thought to
have been "taken for ride was
found in lonely spot in the Bronx.
He was gangster, police said.
The front of Brooklyn residence
was ripped to pieces by a bomb ex-
plosion- These three things, the two,
murders and the explosion, have
hanging over them the shadow Of
Little Augie" Orgen, gang leader,
who died by somebody else's hand
just six weeks ago.
Police believe also that Michael
Weinman, the "taken for ride" vel
tim, found himself in much the same
situation. He was known to have
been associated with Little Augie's"
gang.
Police believe that Meyer may have
been go-between for right wing of
ficials. The employers, and sluggers,
and that no NAV have SOMEHOW, hao,
double-crossed.

more normal persons enjoy. takes to
pursuit that he can follow while
keeping much to himself. Yet he gets
the satisfaction of the envy of others,
which is as much of a joy as gloatinG
over gold.
The tightwad may become so by
habit. by too narrow habit. Saving
being 4 good habit, he becomes
slave to it. Spending hurts because
it interferes with a habit that has he
come a passion. The miser confuses
means with ends. and that's com.
mon way Of making a failure Of life.
The normal man, who is both safe
and sane, Cultivates the expressive
the generous side Of human nature. a
certain amount OF repression is all tc
the good; saving is repressing. But
saving the best sides of our nature is
far more important than saving dol
lars.
Generosity is a characteristic Amer
lean trait. It's a live-and.let-live kind
of virtue that goes with a prosperous
country. But Yankees are thrifty as
well as shrewd and practical. A sense
of value, of what money is good for,
will cultivate thrift and generosity
equally. It's only the excessive love
of money that is the root OF much
evil. The wise use of money IS tho
sign OF good normal open-hearted
nature. The tightwad Is not a well

Young. Married, Drinking Set.

Daphne was one of the young, un
married. drinking set before she set
tied down with Tom in a three.room
arartment. In those days she In
sisted. that she simply must drink
when she went out, because she was
so bored with all the men she knew
she had to have some kind OF stim'
ulant to cheer her up.
A lot of people listened to her line
of applesauce, and felt rather sorfy
for her. Too bad that q young girl
should be so hard up for congenial
friends she'd have to take to drink
about it.
| Then along came Tom and even
Daphne couldn't look bored when he
was around She fell heavily for him
and they were married shortly after.
| For a while Daphne ran around
! telling every one what perfect peace
| and happiness she'd found-how she
and Tom just sat and read together
| in the evenings, never wanted to go
out, were perfectly happy just being
| together.
1t made a beautiful picture. and peo-
pie approved of the young couple.
| Then some old pals of DIS hit town
|
Because they were wild young people
| she told me she simply had to have
| drinks for them. otherwise they
| wouldn't appreciate her party at all.
That party started our Daphne
thinking. She'd had such good
time that night, why not arrange to
give one of those friendly informal
brawls just once a month?
That wouldn't hurt anybody and it
| would keep Tom and her from getting
old fashioned and dull. They started
right out with nice brawl every
month, and in no time at all they'd
collected whole crowd of gay young
| folks who invited them more and more
often to other informal parties.
Pretty soon Daphne decided that
there was no real reason why they
shouldn't go out on a drinking party
once n week if they felt like it.
When Tom objected, she pouted and
pleaded that she didn't want to get
| old and dull before her time. He gave
in and the parties increased so that
now the ideal young couple is either
| giving or being entertained at con-
slant cocktail parties, afternoons and
| evenings.

advice that she's running her mar.

more when / get through with this
But stick to my point that Daphne s
incessant drinking is "a confession-a
confession of boredom.
She's beginning to depend more and
more on stimulants for a good time
It's a dangerous thing to fall into this
habit. Already d. is beginning to be
bored and restless on the non.alco
holic evenings
She frets at Tom to make more
money so that they can go a faster
pace. He annoys her constantly be-
cause he's too anxious to stay at home
| for quiet evening.
She doesn't realize that the cocktails
| and the highballs are responsible for
the ending of a pretty romance.

What Is Wrong With a Tightwad:

for a class in human nature. Stingi-
ness looks like boarding mania. but
it goes deeper than that. Nor is it
Just thrift overdone; though 1t is true
that a virtue is often a mean between
two vices. For the spendthrift,
money burns q hole in his pocket; for
the tightwad, the pocket won't open
without a wrench. They belong to
two opposite kinds or sides of human
nature. The one IS open in his ways,
free in his manner, mixes easily, talks
readily, plays, laughs, spends, has a
good social time. He Is a bit impul-
sive; no sooner thought or said than
done. He belongs to the expressive
type. The other shrinks, avoids, hesi-
tates. is often silent, apart, hard to
draw out. a sort of shut-in personal
ity. He belongs TO the repressive
type. Are you expressive or repres-
sive? Or like n good many, in be

Causes Of Gray Hair

Here is what doctors say about gray
hair and it's cause: Each hair. as you
know, is made up of several layers.
In the middle one, which is called the
cortical layer, are cells with fluid con.
tanning coloring matter. 1t has been
found that this coloring matter is COM
posed of minute grains of reddish yell
low and sepia brown, along with oil
which holds them in suspension, and
air. If there is very little of the sepia
the hair is red or bronze, and it is
brown or black according to the
amount of sepia matter. Not even the
Chinese or negroes have really coal
black hair, the microscope shows a
very dense amount of sepia brown
eoloring.
When some disease or injury dries
up the Oil, the pigment also dries up
