MINERS WANT HIGHER WAGES.
The miners of this end of the
Meyersdale region held a mass meet-
ing at Boynton on Saturday, after-
noon, Jan. 8, to discuss the question
of asking the operitors for a mise.
About 200 miners of this section,
including delegates from Garrett,
were present and the. situction was
, thoroughly gone over.
Committees who had been appoin-
‘ted from the various mines, reported
| the answers they had received from
| the operators they had called upon.
{ Judging from the answers most oper-
ators are not willing to “divy” w
their present large profits with the
poor miner. Of course the larger op-
erators all claim they are tied by
contract at a low figure for all their
production until the 1st of April and
therefore could not request of the min-
ers for 10 cents per ton raise. The
smaller operators, who are not tied
by contract, say they are willing io
pay ‘the advance if the others pay it
—so0 there you are. The small con-
concerns hiding behind ithe large ones
and the large companies taking shel
“ter behind the firms with which they
contracted. The Grassy Run Coal
Company and several others of mi-
nor importance have given notice that
if the miners persist in their demands
fcr a 10 cent advance they will be
obliged to shut down as they have
contracted for all their output.
It isn’t denied nor doubted
these people
that
have contracted for a
certain amount of the output but there '
are serious doubts—and doubts that
‘are well founded— whether some of
them are tied by contract for more
than half of their output and could
not afford to advance a little and give
the coal diggers honest weight that
in nine cases out of ten, he does not
get in this region where the nfiners
have no checkweighman on the tip-
ples. The checkweighman is a. nui-
sance from the eperators. standpdint
and is Hot allowed around the “dig-
gings” when the coal baron can pos
sibly prohibit it.
The miners from this region are
talking strongly of reorganizing the
union and it looks very much as if
that were their only redemption to
force fair treatment and just ree-
ompensation from the majority of
operaltors.

2,600 DEER KILLED
It is estimated that 2000 deer were
killed in Pennsylvania during the re-
cent gunning season, according to in.
complete reports received by the state
game commission. The slaughter in
1914 wias 1102 deer.
Reports from game wardens and
other correspondents are not yet com
plete, but the game commission has
received sufficient to make estimates
with a fair degree of accumacy.
Two hundred and fifty bear were
killed, 30,000 quail, 4000 wild turkeys,
400,00 ruffed grouse, 600,000 squirrels,
All these figures, like the deer, run
well ahead of the previous year, with
| plenty of game left in the woods and
fields.
Virtually no change has been made
! in the accident figures compiled at the
(close of the ' season, a month ago.
injured, against 31 killed and 99
wounded in 1914, Nearly all of the
deaths and injuries were due to acci-

thinking about an automobile tour of’

year at the head of a party of friends
who went to see the natural beauties
lof Pennsylvania and who incidentally
found thiat the state had some excel-
{lent roads and some scenery that
Leould not be equalled anywhere else

Can’t expect the children to stand high in their classes
unless they get their lessons done properly. And they
can’t do night study without proper light.
The best light to study by is that which beams from a
Rayo Lamp filled with slow-burning Atlantic Rayolight
Oil. It gleams soft, white and mellow — doesn’t flicker.
I's a wonderful light for studying. Won't strain the
children’s eyes and so they study the better. And they
learn the quicker.
And you’ll sew with less effort, and father will enjoy his
paper the more if you keep the house generously lighted
with Rayo Lamps.
Rayo Lamps are handsome —add to the appearance of
