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.”

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.

Haln Helps Corn.

will fill out the corn, which promises
a big yield, and put the ground in
fine condition for fall plowing.

rain which fell last night was need*
ed for fall plowing, and helps late
corn.
Wymore, Neb., Aug. 27.—A good
shower covered southern Cl^gs county
