~KENTUCKY MINERS | LOSE PAY DEMAND é,ooo More Coal Diggers Out of Work on Strike and Operations Stopped. B the Assooiated Press. HMENDERSON, Ky., April 8.—Though & strike voted last Fall has never re- esived the sanction of national officers ©of the United Mine Workers of Amer- Ses,, 2,000 or more Western Kentucky eoal miners were out today demanding the 1917 wage scale, and hundreds more were idle because a number of mines have ceased operations because of un- favorable market conditions. ‘The announcement that W. D. Dun- | ean, Central City, acting president of district 23 of the union, would speak to- morrow night at Providence, center of the strike operations, was made today along with the prediction that he would discuss the present situation. ‘When 270 employes of the Diamond Mines No. 1 and 2 quit work yesterday after being refused changed working oconditions and restoration of the 1917 scale, the number of men idle in Web- ster County alone reached 1,797. Miners who quit work said they have been paid 20 per cent less than the 1917 scale, and they were told by operators that it would be impossible for them to be pald more under present conditions. Mines in this fleld have been working only a few days a week for months, and Federal figures recently issued showed ‘Western Kentucky produced less than 14,000,000 tons of coal last year as com- pared to more than 16,000,000 in 1928. Unfavorable competitive freight rates to Chicago and the Northwest are blamed by the operators, who have a complaint now on file with the Interstate Com- merce Commission. | GANGMEN SUSPECTED OF INSURANCE PLOT Arkansas Authorities Inventig‘atev Land Deal in Connection With Pearman Death. By the Associated Press. BENTONVILLE, Ark., April 8—Au- thorities yesterday investigated theories that St. Louis gangsters engineered an insurance plot to collect $200,000 in the slaying of Willlam Robert Pearman, 47, Columbia, Mo.. automobile mechanic. The theories were advanced by at- torneys for Dr. A. J. Bass, retired dentist and wealthy land owner, held on & murder charge arising from the kill- ing. Pearman, according to authori- ties, carried insurance policles aggre- gating $200,000 in the name of William Folta, a man who disappeared 17 years ago. Counsel for Bass Pearman and the dentist were only “tools.” John R. Duty, principal attorney for Bass, re- lated a story told by a farmer. Accord- ing to Duty, the farmer last August ad- vertised a farm for sale in a Kansas City newspaper. The land was owned by a friend of his who wanted $5.000 for it and offered a $1,000 commission for a sale. A few days later a man, who said his name was William Folta, and whom Duty declared the farmer has identified by photographs as Pearman, came to inquire about the land, saying he had only a little money, but that he knew of a way by which the farmer could get more than the .$1,000 commission The prospect suggested that he be al- lowed to take out a $20.000 life insur- ance policy on the farmer. A week ago the farmer talked with the prospect again. Descriptions were given by the farmers of two men with the prospect. | MAJ. BOLES HEADS TEAM St i | Named Captain of U. S.

From Fruit Diet To Fried Cakes A Remark- able State- | ment for Miller’s Herb . i Extract ARL KRAMER Mrs. Carl Kramer, 7509 Georgia Ave. NW. said a few days ago: | “Miller's Herb Extract (formerly | called Herb Juice) saved me ¢ trip | to the hospital and I never expect | to be without this great medicine. | For over a year I suffered with my stomach and had reached the stage where I was unable to retain any | food on the stomach. I was on a | straight fruit diet and for days on | a stretch I would vomit up every mouthful I ate. I had terrible pains in the side, lost in weight and was confined to bed for days. I was operated on three times and when another one was advised I simply refused, as nothing I used helped me to speak of. Last Summer I said: ‘Well, I am going to try the Herb Extract that every one praises o highly,’ and to my great surprise | this medicine seemed to help me | from the very first. After a few |) days the vomiting spells ceased, my |/ stomach felt easy and I continued | to improve every day. I have not had a single attack since I began using this remedy and I now eat everything I want; even fried cakes agree with me. I am stronger in |, every way and for the first time in years I have been able to attend to my housework without being sick a single day. This is the greatest medi- | cine I know of, is a fine regulator for the liver and bowels, and my husband, who is also using it for stomach disorders and constipation. says it has given him a wonderful lot of relief. I really cannot de- scribe the full amount of relief Mil- ler’s Herb Extract gave me, and rec- ommend it to all my friends.” See the special representatives direct from the Laboratories at their head- in Peoples Drug Store, 505 St. N.W., Washington; also Peo- ples Service Drug Store, 727 King St., Alexandria, Va., where they are now introducing and explaining the merits of this famous medicine.— Advertisement.
