 Senator Tydings of Maryland took considerable time in the Sen ate to excoriate a news report that he had come back early from the Philippines because General Mac Arthur didn't want his Commission there. Senators Bankhead of Ala bama and Thomas of Oklahoma have thrown repeated verbal hooks into Chester Bowles because he re- stricted future trading on the cot ton market. All sorts of Senatorial criticism is leveled at all sorts of people-except by Senators at Sen ators.

money now retained by the opera
tors from the miners wages and de-
voted to sick and hospital costs of
the miners will be paid into the bot
tomless hands of John l.. Lewis
This will constitute another ST.
000, 900 year. 1t is the pious nope
that Mr.. Lewis will distribute this
largess in the various mining dis
tricts in proportion to the receipts
from them, but there is no compul-
sion in that regard.
Lewis Collects Fines.
Just to give assurance to Mr.
Lewis that there are no hard feel
ings against him on the part OF the
Government, he is graciously con-
coded, under the new contract,
other privileges which, while not of
paramount Importance, are indica-
tive of the consideration and esteem
in which he is held. Formerly the
operators had the right to assess
and collect fines for attractions of
contract by the miners. In the
future, the operators may continue
to assess such fines, but the miners
must pay such fines to John L..
Lewis.
1t is anticipated that this recent
major operation will persuade the
operators to ask for an increase in
the price of coal of SIS cents a ton.
This will include 10 cents for the cost
to the operators of the strike, but the
balance will represent direct and in
direct increases in wages and other
BENEFITS to the miners.
The doctors say that the patient
is doing well.

The reaction of the country tc
this settlement was interesting and
characteristic.
Called Appeasement.
The Baltimore Sun opined edi-
torially on November S, 1913: THE
deal which Mr.. Ickes has worked
out with Mr.. Lewis represents ap-
peasement."
The Milwaukee CWis.) Sentinel
on November 10, 1913, said: lone
of the weakest and most discredit-
able performances of the New Deal
has been the so-called settlement OF
the coal strike which Secretary OF
the Interior Harold L. Ickes has
imposed upon the country with the
approval Of the White House and
the enforced compliance of the Ma
tional War Labor Board"
To the Washington Post 1t ap-
peared thus: Even considering the
vital needs of the war, Mr.. Ickes
has paid an exorbitant price for
the production OF coal"
And this from the Cincinnati En-.
quirer Of the same date, November
S. 1913: Regardless of the words
which Secretary of Interior Harolc
l.. Ickes may use to describe the
settlement 1t is virtual sell-out
OF the interests OF the consumer anC
the many millions down the line ir
the battle against imitation"
New Contract Analysed.
Now the Government has nego.
tiated another contract with Johr
L. Lewis in order to get coal pro.
duced, although this time the i'm.
perative demand to fuel our wal
machine no longer exists.
Under the new contract, the
miners will be paid $185 more 9

ment," and AN exorbitant price,
what, 1t might be wondered, does the
$1.85 daily increase under the new
contract represent.
If an increase of $3.50 a day ir
1943 was a "sell-out," what phrase
can be applied to settlement which
provides for a wage increase OF 81 s.
a day, plus a welfare fund for the
miners into which the coal opera
tors must pay cents for every tor
Of coal mined. 1t is estimated tina,
during the coming coal year this will
amount to some $27,000,000. The
normal amount which the opera.
tors will contribute to this fund each
year will be between s21 900 900 ano

ton of being a normally intelligent
woman, and for the life of me
can't understand this weakness for
surrounding herself with pictures
of brothers and sisters from the
time they were old enough to focus
their eyes on a camera. The series
covering my life span isn't even
good for a laugh. It's downright
discouraging.
Take the one that is directly in

was in college at the time, in love
and broke, but l managed to save
up enough money to get right in
the swim and do what the other
boys were doing, which was to have
study OF myself made for my
girl. My hair is parted in the mid
die, my shirt collar is open, my
eyes are Sits of sophisticati ton, and
IN the right corner of my mouth Is
a pipe, borrowed for the occasion.
That Same pipe appeared in at
least 10 portraits of 10 different
boys, there being only one boy in
the fraternity house who really
smoked a pipe.
My Oldest brother never was a
qulck-change artist in vaudeville
but you would think so if you could
see the three pictures of him
mounted IN the same frame, and all
taken by the same photographer at
the same time. In the right panel
ne is wearing the latest in knicker
suits. There is nothing plus about
1t. In fact, it is minus everything
but enough material to cover him
The pants are skin tight, and the
coat has the casual drape of q
strait jacket. His headgear is a
cap Of matching material, pulled
low over his forehead. His express

Man of the World.
In the center panel he is a laugh
ing man of the world in a rented
dinner jacket. 1t is obvious that he
slept many a night in a cap made
from the top of a woman's stocking
to acquire the pompadour that
makes his head resemble the back of
an irate porcupine. In the left panel
he has on ice cream pants, a blue
coat, and q straw hat set at rakish
angle. He is plainly ready for any
thing from high school graduation
exercise to formal watermelon cut
ting.
The fact that my two sisters
looked the way they did at one time,
and yet are not old maids, puzzles
me no little. There is one of Bette
with a large spit curl waved and
piastered down almost to the be-
ginning OF her nose. The top part
OF her hair is drawn back as tight
as that OF a Chinese woman, and on
the sides she has enormous what ]
am told were called side puffs.
My Oldest sister, Belle. seemed to
have been fond of hats because
most OF her pictures show her In
felt helmets that covered her eye
brows or large brimmed horsehair
hats which afforded her more shade
than If she had been sitting beneath
an elm tree.
