Allen Puts Over Plan| for Mining Coal BY MILTON BRONNER CHICAGO, Dec. §.—Governors of Mid-West states who came here to consider the coal situation on invt tation of Governor Gardner of Mis- ere profoundly impressed by the “Kansas Idea.” Some years ago the state was known as “Bleeding Kansas.” Its principal industry seemed to be to) earn money to pay interest on farm | Now all were turned into much money and automobiles, Then came the coal miners’ strike, and Kansas was confronted by danger of freezing. Hence, the “Kansas idea,” which was to take over the mines by the com- nwealth and work them with Governor Henry J. Allen was so busy perfecting his plans for this| venture he did not have time to come | here, so sent Richard J. Hopkins, at- torney general of the state, to tell the other governors about It. In| Kansas two counties, Cherokee and Crawford, produce the bulk of the| coal mined in the state. In ordinary / tires 12,000 men work there. They | are now all on strike. | As soon as Allen saw the Washing-| ton conference and the Anderson | Palmer injunction were both failures | he called a conference of Kansas op- erators and miners. He proposed the | | state take over them ines; that the men return to work; and that what ever wage agreement was subse | quently arrived at, thru government agency or otherwise, should be retroactive for the Kansas men. The miners declined. | Calls for Volunteers | ‘Then the governor applied to the highest court of the state for ap- pointment of receivers for the mines. | He asked one operator, one miner and one public representative be ap-| pointed. This was also blocked, as miners and operators refuned to ac cept the job. | But Allen did not give up. On| Thanksgiving day he asked for| volunteers to dig coal. Hopkins said | over 4,000 persons had signed up, in-| cluding college students, clerks, pro- fessional men and about 200 mem-| bers of the American Legion. The men will work in “strip” mines, which do not require skilled miners. Hopkins said it was hoped at least 15 per cent of the normal output would be achieved within the next month. Governor Gardner of Missouri ts studying Missouri laws to see if he can follow the Kansas plan, In IL linois I am informed, the Kansas plan cannot be followed, first, be. cause the laws are so drawn Gov-| ernor Lowden could not take action like that of Allen. Second, the bulk of the coal mines in Tllinois are | deep shaft mines and require skilled | miners acquainted with all the dangers of mining. “Strip” mines produce not to exceed 1 per cent of the coal output of the state and to work them by volunteers, if this were possible, would produce a | negligible quantity of coal, ‘Smith, Back Again, | | May Be Deported | Arthur J.

To educate the far-away consumer is our problem and here is how we can all help: Suppose we send our relatives and friends in other states a tempting glass jar of Paul’s famous jam—either Logan- berry or Blackberry; or a jar of Paul's Fruiti Jammi, which is a delicious blend of red raspberry, red currant, logan- berry and pure apple juice. Each jar is wrapped in tissue, decorated with Christmas seals and inclosed in a special un- breakable Christmas container for mailing. The total cost to you, including postage to any address in the United States, Canada or Europe is only One Dollar. All the lead- ing grocers in Seattle, Tacoma and the valley cities have these special Gift packages ready for the mail. The pack- age contains no advertising matter whatsoever—just a per- sonal Christmas greeting card on which to write the send- er’s name, If it is not convenient to get them from your grocer, mail to us your check or money order made payable to Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Growers’ Canning Company, Puyallup, Washington, together with name and address of party to whom the package is to be mailed and we will ship direct. Not only will you be sending a gift typical of the com- munity in which you have a just pride, but one that will acquaint your friends with such jam as no other section of the world can produce. This is not all. You will be help- ing stimulate the marketing of a product that can be pro- duced more successfully in Western Washington than in any other part of America. We must expand, send Paul’s Jams and other products into far distant markets, if our growers in the surrounding valleys are to find a profitable outlet for their matchless berries.
