The Bidding


A great many players with
South's holding would start with a
forcing two bid. but the writer pre-
fers to start with one heart know
ing that partner, with as little as
two queens, will at least bid one
No Trump. while If he holds one
and one half tricks and a biddable
suit 1t will be shown. With South
bidding one heart West would pass,
North would bid two clubs and now
South might just as well jump into
four hearts.
The Play
West opened his doubleton club
suit with the eight spot. South, the
declarer, won the trick with Jack
and returned the king, playing
small from dummy. The ace of
hearts was then played and when
East dropped the nine the deelarer
was Immediately warned that West
probably held five hearts. The de-
clarer then led the ace, king and
queen of spades. discarding a small
diamond from dummy on the third
spade. The deuce of spades was
then led by declarer. and when
the declarer trumped with the six
of hearts in dummy. The declarer
can now cash his three good hearts
and lose the last three diamond
tricks.
The most interesting play comes
with the diamond opening, West
opening the jack Of diamonds and
East winning with the queen and
Immediately cashing his ace and
king of diamonds. His best return
now would win with the ace. De-
clarer would then cash his king
and. jack of clubs, playing two
small from dummy. Now the ace,
king and queen of spades are led,
discarding a diamond from dummy
on the third spade.
Now for the unusually interest
ing play-the declarer leads the
deuce Of spades which West Ia
forced to trump, trumping with the
seven spot. Declarer overtrumps
with the ten in dummy and then
leads the six of hearts, winning the
last three tricks with the king,
queen and jack of hearts.
Notice that West, who held five
trumps, while the declarer held
only four, did not make q trump
trick.

The Illinois coal fields, now torn by
the factional strife of union miners,
produce, in normal times, approximately
100000 tons Of bituminous coal a
week.
The pits, dug by members Of the
United Mine Workers of America, fur
nished 45,152,6 ,622 tons of the Nations S
coal supply in 1881, drop from previ-
Gus years averages and just about one
half of the 89,291,105 tons mined in
1918. when production reached a war
time peak.
$3.50 Union Miners.
The union now has $3.50 dues-paying
members in the State as compared with
10000 during World War days. Pro-
duction has dropped steadily since the
war, occasioned, operators claim, by the
inability of the Illinois fields to compete
with those of other States where lower
wages are paid.
Eighty of the States 101 counties are
either partly or wholly underlain with
coal, although the $50 mines at present
listed by the State Geographic Survey
lie in SO counties. Fourteen of these SO
producing counties furnish the bulk Of
the States output.

Franklin County mined 9,531,560 tons

with Franklin, constitute the greatest
producing center in the State.

These counties lie in the center Of

Another producing area of some mag

Counties, directly across the Mississippi
River from st. Louis, while third CEN
ters around Springfield and includes
Sangamon, Christian, Macoupin and
Montgomery Counties.
Elsewhere In the State are other pro-
ducing centers, but the main operating
belt dwindles as it enters the rich agri-
cultural belt of the central part of the
State.
Opponents Of the new S. daily basic
wage scale contend that under its pro-
visions the ordinary digger would make
about 50 day after paying for his ex-
ploslves.
District officials claim between 10000

are at work. The strikers claim more
than 10000 adherents to their cause.

the struggling groups made camps along
the highways, at safe distances from
Franklin County, and spent the night.
The main group of the routed marchers,
however, returned to Pinckneyville,
northwest of the scene of the defeat,
and spent the night in the Perry County

The nine-mile parade behind the ad-

was over, deputies keeping their promise
to permit no invasion.
Late last night a group of miners
