That deadline had already passed without agreement as Kathryn Lewis talked, and in twelve States some 400,000 men had laid down their tools. On that first day they would have been idle anyway, for since 1898 miners have taken a holiday on April 1-named first after U.M.W.'s late great President John Mitchell and now called John L.

Mrs. Love's arrest, indictment and trial turned out to be the midwinter sensation of Southern California. She was amply photographed kissing her late husband in his coffin, and during the trial one of the women jurors was removed for habitually getting drunk on liquor which she hid in the women's toilet.
