Public Won’t Stand Strike, Pinchot Says Warng Miners and Operators Welfare of Nation Takes Precedence Over Any Dispute. (Continued From P»k* One.) the details of the present controversy but It knows the essential facts. I express a truth none will deny, when 1 say that the anthracite-using people of the United States are losing pa tience, and I ask you to consider the faot with care." governor Pinchot emphasized to the operators and miners that it is the desire of the government, the com monwealth of Pennsylvania and the public that the controversy be set tled on terms of “even-handed just ice.” A settlement leased on anything less than justice to all could not properly be expected, he said, 6ther reasons to show that an anthracite strike at this time would work disaster upon the country were brought into play by the governor In his appeal. "The country Is just now entering upon a* period of. prosperity after a prolonged depres«on. The closing down of the anthracite mines would tend to undermine the confidence es sential to a continuance of this pros perity," he declared. "Our railroads are heavily taxed already. An uneven output of coal— now much and now little—will tend to block transportation and the blocking of transportation will be al most as effective In making a coal shortage as In closing the mines.” Referring further to possible terms and methods of settlement, the na tional new strike mediator stated: ri^^Settlement means_that neither side can get everything it would like to have. Few people ever do in the world we live In. But the settlement I of this dispute is absolutely neces sary for the public safety and welfare. I The public needs and must have coal and T am entirely confident that the public is going to have it. It Is my duty to Insure to the public by every lawful means at my command the t necessary supply of coal. Klgnt of Organization. "I recognize the right of mine work ers to organize for their own protec tion and to obtain fair and decent conditions of living. I am fully aware that the strike is a right which should not be arbtrarily abridged or denied. The exercse of this right, however, should be made unnecessary by the use of orderly and reasonable methods of settlement. “I recognize the right of mine operators to a Just return on their investment and their managerial ability. “As the representative of this com monwealth, I am here to tell you that these rights are to be recognized and protected also.” At the conclusion of the open meet ' lng with miners and operators shortly after noon, the operator* returned to their headquarters to formulate their statement to the governor at their ex ecutive session tomorrow morning. Greater London, with a population I nearly 2,000,000 more than Greater j York, has far fewer fatal stre t i ^•accidents. Figures recently published * in England show that in the ell,il‘e m*tr<polltan area of London its per sons were killed in the first three months of this year, while 160 were killed by automobiles alone In New York City in the same period. “Get Rich Quick” Plan 20 Per Cent Every 60 Days for Investors Is Bootlegging Scheme By I'nlversal Service. London, Aug. 27.—Sir Broderick Hartwell's "get rich quick” offer to investors is again an absorbing topic. A new circular Issued in explana tion of his project, guaranteeing a profit of 20 per cent every 60 days, is hot off the press. It reads: “I have arranged with an Amer ican syndicate to take from me 10, 000 cases of high class Scotch whisky monthly. As a guarantee of good faith, they have lodged the equivalent of 10,000 pounds in government se curities and also 3,000 pounds sterling cash, to pay for the goods. “I am shipping to an agreed point on the high seas, where the goods will be paid for in cash on delivery. "Please understand that this is not any smuggling expedition. It does not conflirt with the laws of England or any other country. I will sell my goods at sea to those buyers who come alongside to purchase.” Cords from window shades can be purchased very cheaply, and if every shade is supplied with cords they will never be rolled up crooked. Lambs Bought Up in Wyoming Most of Feeders Contracted for, Burlington Livestock Agent Reports. John Petrie, livestock agent of the Burlington railroad, who returned yesterday from a trip to the Casper and Sheridan (Wyo.) divisions of the road, said almost all lambs raised in those areas were contracted for. "Although there are a few small bunches scattered here and there," said Mr. Petrie, "there will be only a very few come from there this sea son. In the last three weeks buyers have been active and most of the feed ers at Fort Collins, Colo., have been purchased from Wyoming and Mon tana sheep raisers. "According to advices received, lambs in New Mexico are also almost cleaned up. In Wyoming the most of the contracting was done at a price of $9.50 to $10.50 a hundred. "This time a year ago prospects for feeding of livestock were not as good ns now. There Is an abundance of feed and all classes of livestock are being put into the feed lots, which will keep the corn price up regardless of an unusually large yield. "The corn crop in Nebraska is In excellent shape and with two more weeks of good weather the danger of the corn being injured by front will be past. A heavier movement of cattle will commence in the next few days from the ranges, which has not been as active as usual.” Car to Be Given Away in Columbus Auction Columbus, Neb., Aug. 27.—Colum bus merchants with cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce are plan ning a “fun auction” to be held In Franklin square October 10. At this auction an automobile will be sold along with $1,000 worth of merchan dise offered by merchants. ^ Each merchant of the first 40 to en ter his name with the Chamber of Commerce pays $15 In cash toward the automobile and an equal amount of merchandise to be selected at In voices by the committee. For this donation each merchant will receive $3,000 In Columbus wam pum or script. He will In turn give each one of his customers paying cash for their merchandise $1 In script for each $1 that they spend with him In buying regular articles during the period prior to October 10. These scripts will then be used as money during the sale of merchan dise and the auctioning off of the car. THe man who can bjd the most warn pun or script will get the car and the others can bid their scripts on the rr'lcles of merchandise offered for sale. Always the Same —Always Pleasing Think what It means to go to your dealer and be able to obtain cheese of exactly the same quality and flavor as that which so pleased you the last time. Yet that is the very thing you can be absolutely sure of when you order Kraft Cheese—either in Loaf or in Tins. And its remarkable keeping qualities and absence of rind make it the most economicaL Four varieties: American, Pimento, Swiss and Brick, sold by the slice, pound or loaf. 8 VARIETIES IN TINS ✓ I « The Pierce-Arrow Enclosed Drive Limou sine is undoubtedly the most usable type of car ever created. In no other way can we account for its widespread acceptance during the last two years. It is a correctly-appointed Limousine, and yet the turn of a handle converts it into a companionable owner-driven seven-passenger Sedan. The full-width glass partition disap pears completely so that the rear and front compartments become one. The six-cylinder engine has far more power than its rating and is flexible almost beyond belief—because of dual valve and dual igni tion, exclusive Pierce-Arrow developments. We are glad to demonstratethisor any other of the twelve beautiful Pierce-Arrow models. A request will bring a courteous driver to your door.
