f III the bituminous coul fields of
western Pennsylvania Is being
waged a struggle which may Bhaiie
the course of future operations In
t tie entire central competitive soft
coal fields now in idleness.
Union miners and operators
alike nro watching the etfort of the
Pittsburgh Coal company in that
section to operate on a non-union
basis. Kills Seniles, editor of the
United Mine Workers, Journal, or
gan of the miners, asserts the
view that the "break" In the pres

remote It may be, will come in
this district.
Officials of the company de
clare that the non-union policy is
successful, but union miners deny
Ihis.

pension has developed into an out
and out .tight to exterminate the
union. The Pittsburgh Coal com
pany, largest operator in the dis
trict, was one of the first compan
ies to rcpudluto the 1924 Jackson
ville wuge agreement and to oper
ate on u non-union vscale. 11 has
said It will not mine coal again on
a union basis."
Open Shop Success
Officials of the company say re
ports from 18 operating mines
show that the open shop policy is
successful. They cite a production
of 110,253 tons for the week end
ing April 23, a gain of 13,845 tons
over the w eek before and or l!J,sas
over the week ending April 2. The
average number of men at work
increased, they say, from 4,651) to
5,135 in a week.
Hut Searles says - the company
lost 12,225,000 in 1S2G and that
"for the first three mouths of 1027
Its losses have been much heavier
than for the same period last
year."
"If the company beats the
union," declares the editor of the
miners' organ, "other companies
will follow its lead. If tile reverse
is the case it may reasonably be
expected that they will reopen as I
union mines."
He forsees little activity looking
to termination of the mining sus
pension in other centrnl competi
tive slates Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois until the issue around Pitts
burgh is fought to a finish.
The Pittsburgh company an
nounced operation on an open shop
basis more than a year ago, con
tending that it could not compete
with non-union West Virginia
mines and pay the. Jacksonville
scale.

"No Curfew"
I
i
Sixty years ago Mrs. Rose Hart
wick Thorpe, now of San Diego,
Calif., took slate pencil in hand
and wrote the famous poem, "Cur
few Must Not King Tonight." She
was Hi then, aud wrote the verse
while supposed to be studying
arithmetic, the poetess recalled re
cently on the poem's anniversary-
on a spiritual pMne. Women then
tried to live up to the concepts of
those who loved them. Today, in
stead, women have become cheap
ened In men's opinions by the per
mission of too free liberties and a
breaking down of all barriers of
convention and reserve.
"In the 'nineties, in contrast to
the revolutionary change which
has come about in the contacts of
the sexes, between young people
there were abysms aud nbysms of
convention nnd reserve," writes
Mrs. Harriman. "Everything was
then conducted along lines of the
strictest formality, an opposite so
cial pole from the unchaperoned
functions of the present, when the
young meet so Indiscriminately. It.
must be acknowledged that though
there was much that was absurd,
'nevertheless we of the .older gen
eration were saved from the cor
ruption of manners and sentiment
which the present lettlng-down of
all bars has brought about.
"In pictures taken thirty years
ago clothes, (oo, were rather ridic
ulous, outwardly illustrative of the
falso modesty which the ban upon
all sex matters entailed. That
skirts sweeping the ground gather
ed up dust and microbes in (he
wearer's path vyas not of such im
portance as that no bit of ankle
should meet the public gaze. The
key note in dress then was modes
ty, whilo today it is comrort.
Great puffed sleeves and bustles
that made silting down without
crushing them an art, hairpins fair
ing to hold stray locks In place,
have certainly been superseded by
a safer, saner style. A current
hnllroom may not. he as pictur
esque or the gowns as elaborate,
and there may be a tendency to too
much uniformity in dress, but sure
ly the knee-high skirts, bobbed hair
and abandoning of those atrocities
called corsets assure the dancer of
more healthy enjoyment, Whereas
strange men may cut in on a dance
today, in the decade when cotill
ions were held in New York at
Delmonico's or Sherry's, no girl
would have thought of dancing
with a man without his first hav
ing been solemnly introduced. Also
the parents would have had to
know all about the man's anteced
ents, his family and connections
j before the acquaintance went furth
ier. There whs nothing of the free-land-easy
picking up of men friends
j now ho common, where the fact
i that a boy and girl attended the
same party is sufficient to make
jthem known to each other. Nowa
days young people meet, and If
'congenial, at once a hurried 'dale'
Is made to go to the movies, a lea
or for a motor drive. Compared
j with the modern 'rush, acquaint -!
anceships used to develop only
with the speed of a freight train.
Instead of thirty or forty, the av
erage girl then probably came to
jknow only five or six boys fairly
;well; and as a result, 1 believe,
'. deeper friendships and closer at
tachmentH developed. Fly-by-night
flirtations were rare exceptions.
. Engagements to dance cotillions
were made far In advance, and
.one's partner usually Rent a lovely
j bouquet; and of course a real belle
'carried flowers from other men
too. These were oMen In their
fading beauty brought home with
the myriad cotillion favors, of
.sometimes real Intrinsic value, or
of nothing more precious than pa
per or gauze.
"Towards the end of a hectic
season. If a girl's father from fa
tigue fell by the wayside, she was
larrompanied to and from partien
by her maid. In nine cases out o(
ten, however, the father and ninth
er remained awake until the clat
ter of horses' hoofs on the cobble
stones and closing of the front door
heralded their daughter's safe re
turn.
I "There was little debauching of
! sentiment then. A nice girl felt
'that a man could pay her no high
er honor than to ask her to be
come his wife. She rarely accept
ed only to break the engagement
and bonst of it. If she refused
him, she kept the - confidence
sacred and told no one.
"Withheld from close Intimacies
by ' the conventions and the in
stincts of delicacy aud breeding,
girls then possessed a charm, an
allure of mystery that peculiar ap
peal of a beautiful thing aloofly
remote which have been Ioh(. to
the run of their present day hail-fellow-well-met
and slangy succes
sor. In this an eternal inw com
mon to human nature applies.
What Is difficult to attain is most
.tfeslred, struggled for and, once
possessed, highly prized. What is
easy of possession is held in light
regard. ' Some say that religious
were most powerful when the sanc
tuaries were veiled, when the nrk
of the covenant was hidden from
common gaze, and the symbolism
of the mysteries waH understood
only by adepts. There Is such a
thing as making knowledge too
common. And just as young peo
ple become hopeless pessimists
and lose all sense of purpose In
life through the materialistic teach
ing that life Is merely 'the chemi
cal interaction of hydrocarbon
molecules,' Ideallzn I ion ceases
when mystory Is taken nwoy from
sex. I
"Science has yet to explain the
origin and to plumb the mystery
of life. Our shoddy materialism
has only achieved a destruction of
the glamour. Idealization Is neces
sary if what Is basically a physical
attraction Is to he sublimated into
something more lasting and finer.
Sex attraction, exalted into romnn
tic love, has been the motif and
inspiration of the world's supreme
art of music, painting and litera
ture. Nothing has ever so deeply
stirred the heart of man, from Sap-
pho and Theocritus lo Shakes-1
peare and Shelley. Because It has'
been t he Inherent Instinct of man
to lift woman and' Iranscendental
Ize his love Into a realm beyond
the merely physical. As this in
stinct has been of such deep and
age-long development. It would
seem there is 'some evolullonary
purpose to It, some ultimate goal
of attainment to be reached a pin
nacle where the passion of human
love leaps like a flame to a destiny
beyond the stars.
"And that Is what has been lost
to so many of the present. They
not only do not think of love as a
thing to last 'until deatlfdo them
part, but the idea of an attach
ment becoming so profound and
spiritualized that It might continue
into a life everlasting Is regarded
us archaic a superstition as the
custom of a Hindu wife's walking
into her spouse's funeral pyre.
"One must admit, as I havo said,
that ulrlB were too guardedly
sheltered, nllowed loo little free
dom for their self-development,
and as wives were too often re
garded as chattels in those golden
nineties. They have attained a
saner and more wholesome status
today, and women's position would
he unique In the worJd'B history if
we had only preserved the . ele
ments of reserve, sincerity and
Idealization. In the days when
men and women put each other on
pedestals, there was too much
idealization, perhaps. I think many
fell in love with the picture they
created about some beloved object
rather than with the object itsolf,
and the actuality of marriage often
brought a shattering disillusion.
But there was this In being admir
ed and Idolized, In being treated
with deferential courtesy and re
spect many did try lo live up to
the highest conceptions or the one
who loved them, and to tit Into the
niche into which they were placed.
Tell people they are good, and they
will usually try to be good. Look
for the bad, and you will rind It.
"There was perhaps, too, an
overemphasis upon the little de
tails of etiquette In the approach
and attitude of the young toward
one another, when the technique
of courtship was so formal and
rigidly arranged in a period when
the use of profanity before a
young woman would have been un
pardonable, aud when no youth
would havo remained silling while
a girl was standing. But there
was real refinement. There was
fineness of sentiment. CIiIh were
honored with a serious regard, and
no girl would have dreamed of vio
lating that respect by such vulgar
ities and laxities of conduct as are
In evidence now. We did try to
fulfill the role which men set up
for us. When love came, It was
not regarded as a casual flash of
Interest, a passing escapade, a
thing for a momentary 'kick.' but
as the greatest thing that could
come Into a human life. It was a
thrilling experience. Kor a girl It
was the 'great adventure,' She be
came engaged only after a proper
course of wooing, and then only
after serious consideration, In
which her parents were consulted
and In which they had their say.
Marriape was looked forward lo
as the most Important step the
threshold Into a new lift, with new
responsibilities, and a settled fu
ture. And a home was planned
and yearned for as homes are not
planned now. Kor all of which
while -there were defects In the
svstem much Is to be vald at a
time when Ideals of the home nnd
family life are with the frivolous
majority a lading mirage."
