COAL SITUATION GROWING SERIOUS Miners Demanding 25 per eent In crease In Wages.— Strike Threatened. D. S. L. Clark of the Anderson Coal Company, has just returned from Pittsburgh where he hag been at tending the coal miners’ conference, for the purpose of finding out the racts concerning the common rumors of a coal shortage. He found that the workmen of all the mines are demanding a 25 per cent wage increase. This they must have or they will strike. In either event the consumers of coal will have to pay. At present this coal firm is for tunate in having a large supply on hand which. If the consumer pur-! chases now, he can save. Get it at the regular price. Today ! the country has exactly 1,500,000 tons j less coal out of the mines than at the same time last year. The strike is j certain because the mine operators) declare they will not grant the In-! . crease asked. It would be the course of wisdom, j therefore, to stock in coal while it can be had.

INTEREST IN RACIAL ART In my last letter to the public on racial consciousness, beauty and achievement" of our people may not have been made clear. For that rea son I am writing again. In the first place, consciousness means one knowing his or her own mir.d and governed by the dictates of hir or her own thought. Secondly, there must be some estab lished fact by which one must think, and there Is no way to establish these facts without Art and Literature upon the’ subject which we are most in terested in. Today we are more interested in establishing a racial confidence in a people who have been taught for two hundred yearly that there was no goo' thing come out of Africa. Now we must reach every woman and child with our pictures, calendars, post cards, colored dolls and statuetts, the most beautiful printing and work v _ danshlp the world has ever known The prices are low in order that none will be without them.
