Boston People
Warned 1o Put
Coal in at Once
Boston, Sept. 20.—State Fuel Admin
lstrator Hultman today warned con
sumers against delay in laying in
their winter's coal supplies, declaring
that Boston retailers had delivered
about 20 per cent. less coal in the five
months ended August 31 last than
during the corresponding period in
1920.
The situation in this city Is not
alarming at present. Mr. Hultman said,
but interference with the normal flow
of coal from producer to consumer
would result in conditions similar to
those existing last year. The retail
price of coal has dropped from SIR to
$14 77. and $tr> a ton since a year ago.
while the wholesale prices at the mine
have remained substantially unchang
ed and all rail freight rates on the
Boston .t- Albany and New York, New
Haven A'- Hartford railroads have ad
vanced 42 and 14 cents respectively,
he said.
•Dealers have large stocks of coal on
hand at present, ho added.

To Confer with
Ministers Before
Answering; De Valera
Ixmdon. Sept. ?0—(By the Asso
ciated Press)—Premier T.Ioyd
Geor.ce's reply to Eamnn Pc Valera
will likely be delayed until after a
conference with the ministers at
Gairloch Thursday, and it seems cer
tain there will be no Irish peace con
i fercnce at Inverness, for. accordin.tr
to the latest reports, the premier has
decided to return to I^ondon at the
end of the tveek if his health is suffl
j ciently restored, in which case the
next formal cabinet council will be
held in London. *
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre
tary for Ireland left today for Gair
iloch, indicating that Ireland will be
! the subject of the conference Thurs
I da?.
! None of Mr. De Valera's previous
| communications with the premier has
i provoked such divergent opinions as
his latest ftelegrams. All considered.
| it is not unlikely that the prim'- min
! ister will even delay his reply until
I the whole cabinet has met here The
j parliament of North Ireland met to
day, the date, originally proposed for
the Inverness conference, and the
speech of Sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier, showed that Ulster is no
better disposed toward the peace con
ference than before.
The decision of Mr. T.loyd-George
not to go to Washington has revived
* gossip of a coming general election
! the idea being that there are now
only two alternatives, a peace con
i ference or an appeal to the country,
j either of which since the conference
has been so greatly delayed, would
necessitate the premier’s presence in
England in November. The govern
I ment is likely to find itself surround
ed with difficulties not only in the
shape of unemployment, the anti
waste campaign and similar matters
! at home but also abroad.
: Latest reports from Gairloch to
night say that a ministerial confer
ence may be held tomorrow and there
; are also rumors that Mr. De Valera
has expressed willingness to with
jdraw his claim that the Irish dele
i gates must go into the conference ns
' rperesentatives of an independent and
! sovereign state.
i
!Ghost (?) Haunting'
Kennebtmk Women
Ken nobunk port. Sept. ?0.—When
Mrs. Arthur Harriman and hor 14 i
year old daughter left their home
i near the Kennebunkport Town house
.and took shelter with Mrs. Harri
tnan's sister, they thought that they
had escaped the haunting “spirit”
that had made their life at tch for
mer place unbearable. Such was not
the case however, according to re
ports from the Harriman family for
the “ghosts” seemed to have follow
ed the couple but seem to be devot
ing their entire attention to the
daughter.
It was learned today that Friday
night, the daughter during the night,
was awakened to find that her night
dress had been torn to shreds, and
the mattress on which she had been
sleeping had been damaged in a
similar manner. This new experi
ence has completely upset her.
Some of the prominent summer
residents here, including Abbott
Graves, the widely known artist apd
Margaret Deland, the famous author
ess. have become interested in the
case and are endeavoring to solve
the mystery.
NO WAGE SLASH
(Continued from Page One)
scattered throughout the United
States, western Canada and Nova
Scotia. Aside from the wage ques
tion, Mr. Lewis asked the conven
tion to administer a rebuke to Rob
ert H. Harlin of Seattle, Wash., and
Frank H. Farrington, president of
| the Illinois miners, who Lewis
charged had circulated false Ltate
ments abouS the union. He also
asked the convention to indorse the
international board, which he said
Alexander Howat. president of the
Kansas miners, had defied in not
complying with the board's order for
strikers to return to work.
Other essential points of Mr.
Lewis’ report included a recom
mendation that the convention re
affirm its declaration of two years
ago favoring nationalization of the
coal mines, declaration that “the
fight in Mingo county. West Virgin
ia, must be won" and a recommen
dation that legal proceedings l>e in
stituted to make a full test of the
constitutionality of the Kansas in
dustrial court law.
Discussing the wage question Mr.
Lewis said coal operators in several
states had filed demands for reduc
tions but that the union's policy was
uncompromising for carrying out the
present agreement, which he said,
was predicted on the award of the
bituminous eoa! commission func
tioning under governmental auth
ority.
“Coal can be produced under the
present wage scale ret a labor cost
that corresponds favorably with pro
duction costs of other esesntial com
modities.” I.ewis said.
In recommending that thq wage
question be referred to a scale com
mittee. Mr. Lewis proposed that the
convention reconvene next February
to receive the committee's report
and adopt definite demands. His
recommendation was regarded as ap
plicable to the anthracite miners
who have separate negotiations with
the operators.
In discussing the nationalization of
the miner and the test of the Kan,
sas industrial court law, he recom
mended that the convention name a
committee of three for further study
of government ownership of the
mines, after re-affirming the 1010
declaration in favor of nationaliza
tion. Mr. Lewis also said it was “ex
tremely doubtful' 'whether the pub
lic would at present be willing to
bear more taxes to be used by the
federal government in acquiring title
to the coal lands.
In a long review of the West Vir
ginia situation, Mr. Lewis expressed
hope that the Senate investigating
committee would be “instrumental
in laying bare the horrors of that
field and in paving the way for
recognition of the rights of the mine
workers who desire to become mem
bers of the United Mine Workers."
Referring to the differences be
tween international and subordinate
oHirers of the union, Harlin and Far
rington were said by Lewis to be
“scheming politicians."

Don’t Stub Your Toe!
* /
r\NE dark night — so the story goes — a certain monarch
placed a large boulder in the middle of the road. Thou
sands of his people, thereafter, stubbed their toes or troubled
to walk around. At length, one lusty youth — wiser than the
rest — seized the stone and heaved it from his path. And
where it had rested, he found a bag of gold.
Are you stubbing your toe? Are you overlooking any
bags of gold? How about the advertising in this paper?„Do
you read it—consistently? It is a bag of gold to many of our
readers.
In our columns you will find the advertisements of alert,
progressive merchants and manufacturers who seek to tell
you something they think you ought to know. This adver
tising is news about the very things that interest you most—
articles that will save you money, lessen your work, or add
materially to your comfort and well being.
Thrifty men and women read advertising. To them it is
a plain, every day business proposition — a duty they owe
themselves and their purses. It tells them where they can
buy exactly what they want at a price they can afford to pay.
Advertising pays them. They make it pay.
It will pay you, too. Read it.
