WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—One of the greateat industrial
battles in the nation’s history loms up in the threatened na-
tionwide coal strike, scheduled for April 1, government of-
ficials today admitted.
Involved in it in all probability will be the questions of
wage reductions, the open shop, wage-fixing by national
agreements, working conditions, coal prices and other kin-
dred problems.
The success or the failure of the strike will hive a mark-
ed effect on industrial conditions in the country within the
next few years. i------- ‘

Since 1878 every American
has been familiar with tbe face
of Miss Anna D. Williams, head
of kindergarten work ta the
Philadelphia public schools.
Because her face was the
model of the design on the old
silver dollar.
HER SUCCESSOR
But, with the coming of the
new "peace dollar,” Miss Wi-
Hams’ place has been taken by
Mrs. Anthony di Francisci, wife
of the young Itallau sculptor
who designed the new dollar.
Mrs. di Francisei posed for
her husband when he made the
bas-relief that appears on the
new coin.
4s YEARN AGO
Mise’wiiams, model of the
old dollar design, today is a
white-baired woman, busily en-
gaged in bar kindergarten work
at Philadeiphia.
When she was a student at
the Pennsirania academy of
fine arts 45 year* ago, George
Morgan, Ehgllsh sculptor, se-

ONE: Will the miners get
another wage increase, take a
wage eut or keep the wage level
gained during the war boom?
TWO: Will the check-off

operators collect union dues, for
the unions, out of miners' pay

THREE: Will the new wage
contract in the bituminous
fields be oa the customary Hat
national basis, or will each pro-

contracts?
