The husbands of all three are miners and they are earnestly hoping for an early settlement of the strike so that when return to their homes food and warmth and happiness will await their little ones.

Mrs. Harris, who has given birth to .20 chfldren, left the hospital Friday to return to her Filbert home and I was tmabie to talk with her but both Mrs. i Santi and Mrs. Caviella thought it i was a "swell" idea to tell me all I wanted to know and even though the pain of childbirth was but a few hours away Mrs. Santi spoke lovingly and proudly of her brood whom she cares for all alone.
