Under the plan adopted at Hazle- ton yesterday by the general scale committee representing the 125,000 hard coal .diggers in Pennsylvania, the miners will ask for a meeting with th aperators at which they expect to present scores of cases of alleged in- equalities. Through these various cases of inequalities the miners propose to re- store former wage differentials and obtain additional wage increases for various classes of mine labor. Leaders of the radical elements of the miners declared they would abide by the decision and there would be no more “vacation” strikes. Officials of mine workers generally condemn the policy of the operators and declare they wil be “prepared for action” March 31, 1922 when the present agreement expires. FIVE LIVING GENERATIONS This Was the Unusual Record of Oklahoma Family—Broken Now By Dcath of Grandmother at 82, Arkadelphia, Ark., Dec. 29—A chain of grandmothers without par- allel, in this section, at least, has been broken by the passing of Mrs. Eme- line Eliza Riles, 82. Before her death, two small chil- dren of Mrs. Eliza nscn, her great- grand-daughter, had six living grand- mothers of whom two were great- great-grandmothers.

The Hanson children had their six grandmothers, nine uncles, four great-uncles, two great-great uncles; four great aunts, two great- great aunts and forty second-cousins, but no first cousins.
