day in the afternoon in charge of mr e l posey superinten dent an especially prepared program was well rendered comprising recita tions songs and other exercises in the evening pastor kd wards made an excellent address in the course of which he said : nothing has been left for me to tiilk to vnn about i can't talk of the glory nr song of the harvest yon have that — the entile harvest theme has been con sidered i can't speak of gifts fitting for uh to bring — that has been suggest ed very fittingly we have had the cross draped with the flag a good-night to the flowers has been nnng harvest and autumn have been the subjects of recitations and song and yet perhap lean find some thing left over in husking corn there is one pile they call nubbins perhaps we can find a nubbin worth gathering i well remember long ago going to a service just like this lighted there by the splendor of the harvest moon they called it harvest thanksgiving i stiil can see the decorations still see the church still hear the music.still see the moonlight ore thing this service does it re minds us what fl can do and what we can't do the best definition for life would ijb mystery like the wind that comes and goes such is life what can we do plant sow reap that is all in the spring time prepare the fields for september hoping that the season will bring gain yon can sow the field with grain you can mark out the path of the wn you can plant the tubers and the roots and there you end need i mention what you can't do you cannot bid the grass grow the flowers bloom the meanest flowers or fruit are far beyond your skill could yon co'or these leaves so artistically could you form these btalks so stately could vou tint these flowers so beanti fullv the earth yields her increase at no word from u.s till fields nod and or chards bend sunshine and shower light and shade beat and dew have been the servants of harvest harvesters are we not producers then this service tells us to be grateful did vou ever hear the harvest song i haven't heard it for years of course machines have taken the place of men but when large numbers were out in the fields swinging the cradle binding up stacking and hauling some one would begin to sing and all the workers would catch the strain till the harvest field rang with the reaping chorus no better time to sing hunger may 3tart sobs but plenty should start songs it is bo easy to complain a great deal depends upon the angle of the mouth discontent increases rapidly why should we wowv vfffen the crops are good that does not spell hunger it seems like sacrelige to complain when the barns are fnll^-the lime of ingath ering is not the wne for sighs if i could only send you from here with the song of harvest in your hearts a strain for flowers a chord for fruits a bar for grain — why the boui would ring with symphonies like those sung above this service tells o to be hopeful the fading of the leaves whispers winter the frosts are coming they an1 1iere soon the last bloom of the season will be gme the fields brown and the forest bare the birds are leaving the summer is ended har vest is pabt snow will soon rest like purest ivory on limb and sbnil the winds now are sighing the days are pkort we used to chant the north wind blows and we shall have snow ami what will the robin do thmi poor thing " the season is elowly writing one wor 1 — winter but i see glowing fires — if no coal is in the bin the pine knot will blaze i see you gathering there 1 read cozi new upon your faces let the wind blow the tire roars louder let the frost coyer window pane the conl glowb brighter well stored barns hum a strain of content enough to k.-t till the winter is gone if il were only possible why i would et the harvest feast quite a display grain for bread corn for

were interviewed by a gazette representative early this week and attested their lovalty to the union averring they would never re turn unlesh the demands of their federa tion are aeceeded to mr jones said thai the miners are not so extremely anxious to have their labor union recognized as that is not a salient point of the strike they desire o be paid by weight for the coal min ed previous to the strike thev wen receiving 1.04 for each car holding three and one-half tons from this the niner must pay 37 cents to his labor or loading the car also for his powder which costs 1.50 per key of 2a pounds each and for hitf oil cotton and also he purchase of his tools and for keep ing them in order the oil is burned in the lamps and costs 15 per cents gal on jt is a thick heavy fluid know as latent oil these articles however may e purchased from anystoie in the vi jinitvand not especially those controlled by the company these cars of loaded coal are inspect ed by a docking boss who inspects them and if they are not loaded to suit him the miners are docked from 25 to 5 cents per car mr jones said we iad a verv fair boss in this respect bu some of those at other mines were rob jers " he further said that a miner with a fair docking boss and a vein re quiring no hard blasting could make 25 in two weeks over the expenses for oil aowder etc in someof the hard veins uowever the miners make only from 10 to 15 every two weeks from our own mine before the strike said mr jones we were getting out about 2700 tons per day and now there are scarcely 10 tons being mined half of those who formerly mined coal have left the town many of them to work in the soft dnal fields and others to seek employment at other kinds of labor " our union in bound to win added mr jones because the operators can not get anyone to go down into the holes nor does every one have a certifi cate " those certificates are issued after two yeat's apprenticeship and are given by an inspector appointed hy the governor all the miners in our region said mr jones were mem bers of the union when the strike was declared and they were all in gooil standing we have poles lethuanians italians hungarians and other national ities all of which are members nf the union the greater majority of them are peaceable and the poles are eepecial ly so but the italians raise a disturbance occasionally but the published reports of the tiprisings are probably magni fied for in our own home town several days ago there was a report of trouble yet letters received several days after completely deny the existence of any difficulty:1 mr jones said the coal being market ed now is what has been stored in the mine so that by shipping this the operators are not relieving the situation but actually intensifying the matter by selling the reserve coal held at the mines john mitchell president of tbe union began life as a miner in the soft coal region at the age of t'ijrht years five years ago he was elected vice president at indianapolis and then tilled out the president's term the following vear he was elected president and last ian nary was re-elected without opposition tlie union i.s
