heightened the number of weeks.
In 1871, t he miners averaged
only ZIG day a year, but incom-
plete figures for 1912 indicate
about 24O days. This and the
foregoing data is all from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United tates Department of
Labor. Thanks to the new six
day week, the soft.coal miners
prospect for work in 1913 is 28O
to 290 days. That is close to
normal.
This improvement is modified,
of course. by the impact of higher
living costs. but most miners live
in rural communities where liv-
ing costs are lower than in the
cities.
Whether John L. Lewis was
justified in demanding a So day
raise from the operators is a
technical question of the INDUS
try. But obviously his case has
not been strong enough to sup
port him in ignoring the War
Labor Board as he has. 1t is far
more evident that the miners are
not so badly off that they must
strike to enforce a demand that
would break the vital Little Steel

It may be surprise to many
that the bituminous miners last
February had hig h er weekly

all manufacturing. The overall
manufacturing weekly average
stood at $41.12. for the miners
$41.49. To-Day, when miners are
on the six-day week, their income
looks to observers as if it would
be we'll above that of manufact-
uring, which includes both the
phenomenal pay of many war
workers and the still low wage of
many others.
However, this is but part of
the story. Traditionally the min
ers do not work a full year. That
pulls their income down. But
here again the outlook has
changed and the miners are bet

Clean Lighting Fixtures

Don't neglect electric light bulbs
and reflectors or difusing fixtures.
Conservation is important in these
war times, and dust cuts down light
making it necessary to use more
wattage and cutting down also on
the value you get from che current
you use. Each week or fortnight,
each bulb should be mopped with a
damp soapy cloth, then rinsed and
wiped thoroughly dry. Make sure
lights are switched of before you
start hopping.

Care Urged To Make
 Clothes Last Longer
Drycleaners Association Adds Suggestions for Hep-
 ing Cleaners Help Customers

Donald Nelson, Chairman of the War Production Board, has now told us that the public's contribution to program designed to avoid cloth ing rationing can be stated simply as: Buy what you need, when you need it, and make 1t serve as long as possible. Since drycleaning plays so large part in making clothing and homefurnishings last, here Ire some suggestions from the National Association of Dyers & Cleaner to help you do your bit in making the War Producton Board program a success.
 First, there are ways you can make cleaning job last longer. The biggest factor here, apparently, is alternating garments instead of wearing the same one for two or three days. When not in use clothes should be hung where they can get good airing. Wrinkles will tend to 'hang out" during this rest period" and, incidentally, you can reduce your cleaning bills considerably by this means.
 Home Spotting can sometimes be done with reasonable success, if you don't expect the same kind of job professional cleaner would turn out. Care should be taken to avoid excessive rubbing and the treated edges should be ''feathered" out. Some stains, especially when fresh, are quite easily removed some sim

3 Runuwoys LondO On Farm

Canton, Me, Aug. 12 - U.P) - A two-day search for three young runaways has ended at farm house here nearly 175 miles from their Boston homes.
 The parents of Richard Blake. 10, his sister Evelyn, II, and Harriet Burdette, 12, were enroute to Can ton today to get the children, who were found in the vacant farm house last night by Selectman J. Hayes Pulsifer. The selectman had ben informed by local garageman that he had driven children aswer- ing the runaways' description to the farmhouse which Harriet said her father had purchased recently.
 Taking train from Boston to Portland on the proceeds of Har- riet's bank Tuesday afternoon. the children had spent the night at Portland Union station before con- ing here.
 Pulsifer took the children, who were looking frantically for their lost kitten, to an inn for food and sleep.

Infant Shoes In Demand

Boston, Aug. 12. (UP)--Demand for infants shoes during the past week almost doubled that in the corresponding 1942 period, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, reported today in its week New England Trade Re- view.
 As hide shortages continued in the shoe and leather market, con- sumers appeared somewhat particu- lar in their choice of available mer- chandise although brown was the favorite color in both mems and women's fields.
 The inequality between demand and supply of repair leather con- tinued as shipments fell under ex- pectations.
 Cautious buying featured the local Wool Market showing the uncer- tainty of buyers as to the effect of the war production boards action deefrring military deliveries from the fourth quarter of this year to the first quarter of l944. Consumption of foreign wools continued heavy during the past week while sales were low. Medium grade wools were in active demand. Fine wools were slow. Distributors of Worsted yarns continued to find production and delivery problems a serious handicap.
 Volume of retail grocers sales was reported improved over the week partly as a result of the expiration of the blue ration stamps and slight gains in coffee sales. Retail sale volunme was only morderately above the comparable period of 1942.

Work Stop Is Threatened

Boston, Aug. 12 - (UPo -Sec- retary- Treasurer Patrick J. Nc Hugh of the Atlantic Fishermen's Union (AFL) believed today that a second work stoppage might occur in the $20, ,000, 900 New England fish ing industry within two weeks be- cause of a controversy with the OPA over price ceilings.
 McHugh said he had already sub mitted union-approved price sched- ules that were from 12 to 100 per cent higher than those set by the OPA July 13 which precipitated a week-long tie-up in the industry.
 T don't expect any answer from the OPA," he said, "so we'll wait a reasonable time and If we get no satisfaction we will appeal to the special federal court on price ceil- ings in Washington"
 McHugh believed that refusal of the OPA to accept the union pro- posed schedule probably will result in tie up, at least here and n New Bedford.
 After the previous work stoppage fishermen agreed to return to work after OPA officials promised the matter would be considered in Washington.

T0DAY'S WAR
 MOVES
(Reg. U. s. Pat. Offlce) Limited Press War Analyst)


 Japanese announcement of new American bombing attack on the Kurile Islands betrays Tokyos un- easiness over the latent threat o1 American air power to the home land.
 This and other long distance raids on Japanese outpost islands in the central and south Pacific play ar important part in the psychological war on Japan. They serve the use. full purpose of keeping Japanese air and naval defense forces dis persed over many thousands O1 miles from the Kuriles, stretching like a necklace northward to Rus sia's Kamchatka peninsula, to the Solomons and New Guinea in the south.
 In the center of the arc are Marcus, Wake and Marshal land Gilbert Islands. All except Marcus have been bombed. Japan's concern is based on the fact that bombings are often a prelude to invasion and occupation.
 The Americans have shown that no point on Japan's outer rim o1 defense is immune to long range bombing. Wake has been effectively bombed five times, although 1t is HOO miles from the nearest Amer ican air base. Recent long distance thrusts were made at Naura and Tarawa in the Gilberts, from FOG to 1000 miles northeast of the Solomons.
 New Targets The point brought home to the Japanese Is that sucth bombers as iberators and improved models can hit targets previously believed un- reachable while carrying damaging bomb loads.
 The central Pacific islands. al- though comparatively remote from Japan proper, are not the lesat of her worries. probably even more so than the northern stronghold of Paramushiru in the Kuriles.
 One reason for this is that Wake Island is particularly subject to at tack and recaptme by the Ameri- cans. It is less than 1000 miles from Marcus. the only remaining protective point on the direct route to Tokyo. Marcus is approximately 1900 miles from Tokyo a range which our bombers have shown they can cover
 The danger from the north is not so acute, but 1t exists, because 1T Russia decides to break with Japan after Hitler is disposed of, bases for our planes in southeasternmost Siberia would lay the Japanese islands open to devastating attack
 The threat from the south will develop If the Solomons and New Guinea offensive succeeds in driving the Japanese from the main base at Rahaul. exposing the key naval and air base at Truk to attack, From the west there Is China, which will be the goal Of the expected as- sault on Burma.
