In every package of =LION COFFEE= you will find a fully illustrated and
descriptive list. No housekeeper, in fact, no woman, man, boy or girl
will fail to find in the list some article which will contribute to their
happiness, comfort and convenience, and which they may have by simply
cutting out a certain number of Lion Heads from the wrappers of our one
pound sealed packages (which is the only form in which this excellent
coffee is sold.)

REPORT NOT CREDITED
That Union Mine Workers Will March Saturday From Barbecue
AND ATTEMPT TO USE FORCE.
Officers, Operators and Miners Ready to Meet Such Demonstration Should it
Occur.
Bills are posted announcing a big picnic and barbecue of United Mine
Workers to be held in a grove just out of Madisonville on next Saturday.
Union miners have been invited from adjoining counties and from Indiana
and Illinois. It is rumored that there is a plan on foot to make this
the occasion of organizing a large marching party to visit the mines and
attempt to force non-union men to quit work. This rumor, although claimed
to be based on authentic information, is not credited by the operators,
but the information has been placed in the hands of county and town
officials and every precaution will be taken to see that good order is
maintained in the county on that day and men who are thoroughly familiar
with the situation say they do not believe the union leaders will permit
their men to hazard such an attack on the rights of citizens of Hopkins
county who choose to work in the mines on non-union basis, but the
officers say they will be prepared to meet any emergency that may arise.
Such tactics as rumor says are now proposed were meant to be used by the
notorious invading party from Indiana who got only as far as Sebree and
then did not reach the mines or the men. That farcical attempt was such
a signal failure that no such thing has since been attempted, although
it has been constantly threatened since the mine workers first set up
headquarters at Madisonville in November last.
Many of the contented miners have been heard to say that the miners of
the county generally would work as usual on the day of the barbecue and
that they had made up their minds not to permit any interference with
their right to work and support their families as they chose.
