Joint Committee of
U.M.W.A, & Operators
0»
On Saturday next at Calgary a joint
committee conference will be held 'by
tbe representatives of District 18, U.
M. W. of A., and the Western Coal
Operator*' Association In an endeavor
to settle a dispate that originated under the old agreement in connection
with tke men working in No. 0000
Seam of tko Bankhead .Mines Ltd,
This is tbo first grievance to be taken
up under tke existing agreement which
went into force April 1st, and this
method of settlement is a slight departure from tkat adopted heretofore,
as the old agreement did not provide
for the appointment of the "Joint Committee.*' This Is now provided In
the general clause of the agreement,
"Settlement of Local and General D1b-
juteB," but before 'being submitted to
the Joint Committee the dispute must
bave been taken up in the first instance by the mine superintendent and
the pit committee at the mine where
the dispute arose, and an errort made
to arrive at a settlement. In the
event of their failing, it is then submitted to the general manager of the
mine and the District Officers of the
U. M. W. of A., and If no adjustment
is reached, the matter is referred in
writing to the Commissioner of Coal
Operators' Association and the District
President of the union; failing settlement lt la then carried to the Joint
Committee, which is composed of
three representatives for the operators and three for the miners. .
The present dispute at Bankhead,
where It is alleged that owing to certain abnormal conditions the men
working on the contract scale are unable to make wages. Another contentious matter ia that of certain men
working on the day wage scale, for
which they are allowed $3.00 per day,
It ls claimed that these men are impro-
norlv pla-mlfl-aH A-nH ghnnlri h* Includ-
The dispute will be finally disposed
of should the Joint Committee be un.
able to come to a settlement by the
appointment ot an Independent chair-
■man, which would mean the majority
decision of the committee. The appointment of the independent chairman is in the first instance in the
hands of the Joint Committee. However, again falling to agree the .Minister of Labor is appealed to to make the
required appointment, and the decision arrived at by the Joint Committee
so composed is final and binding upon
both parties.

CONVICTION QUASHED
George Fisher of Michel Recently Convicted for Contempt of Court at
Fernie Has Been Vindicated
The Vancouver papers nave beeu
giving a great deal of attention recently to a case from Fernie where a writ
of certiorari was applied for to quash
a conviction for contempt against, Geo.
Fisher, of Michel. Fisher was giving
evidence for the prosecution in the
case of Rex vs. Bessie Evans, and the
presiding judge, thinking that he was
prevaricating, fined him $10.00 or in
default 14 days in jail.
The application came on first before
Ihe Chief Justice, who granted an
order nisi, and the final hearing came
on before iMr. Justice Murphy on Friday the 9th instant. The following is
from the Vancouver Province:
•'.Mr. W. M. Mackay, for the crown,
pointed out that prevarication was
different from contempt He questioned If Fisher had a right of appeal.
" 'It Is a serious matter if a judge
who thinks himself insulted can make
himself judge, Jury and executioner,
and the convicted man have no appeal,' observed Justice Murphy."
This Is one of the first cases of the
kind reported in this province. Mr.
A. Macnell, barrister, of Fernie, acted
for Mr. Fisher.

LONDON, April 13.—.Probably no
session of the British parliament
since the opening of the war has been
awaited with keener interest than the
sitting which will begin tomorrow. A
"dry England" Is not beyond the possibilities, but the government has given not the slightest official hint aa
to what action may be taken.
Several days ago an opposition paper published a forecast of the gov-
eminent plan, which is asserted contemplated the prohibition of all liquors except light beers, which would
be manufactured by the government
This prediction received some confirmation tonight from the government representatives, who declared
the entire business of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors is to
become a government monopoly. _
Cabinet Considers Plan
LONDON, April 13.-.By F. A. McKenzie.—-.Parliament reassembles tomorrow and "drink legislation" is expected to occupy early attention. The
committee, composed of representatives of the caibinet and expert advisers, yesterday formulated a program
for consideration by the entire cabinet today.
•The distillers, after an Interview
with Davfd Lloyd George are convinced that the government Intends entirely prohibiting the sale of spirits during the war.
Numerous widely differing forecasts of the government program appear today, including the unauthorized
statement that Lloyd George and other ministers favor the purchase by
thc state, of all breweries and licensed
houses, placing them under direct
state management, the purchase price
to bo about $1,000,000,000.
Sir Thomas Whlttaker, prominent
temperance reformer, who is report-
The United Kingdom alliance's
statement of the drink bill, issued in
today's Times, shows that last year's
drink expenditure was £ 164,463,000,
or £17 4s. 2d. for each family of five
persons.
The sale of spirits rose early in
1914, declined when tbe war broke-
out, but has since risen high, the sales
for the first quarter of the preaent
year being remarkable figures. This
Is possibly due to heavy clearances
on account of the possible rise iu duty.
Wine consumption has declined remarkably. The sale of beer began to
decline toward the end of November
when the beer duty raised the prlcos,
and has continued to decrease since.
Whatever legislation is announced
will be carried out by mutual consent,
the government having consulted the
opposition and secured Us substantiate
agreement.
State Monopoly is Plan
LONDON, April 13.—The Evening
Chronicle, which is in close touch
with the cabinet, says the government
is considering a plan for complete
state control of the wholesale and retail trade in the domestic supply of
alcohol. The plan, it .sajs, involves
a state monopoly in the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic liquors.
«ra^o-T)"o~cD^reraunY~^vMtn~xire~gov'~
eminent In elaborating a purciiase
scheme, declines to affirm or deny
the report, declaring he ik not at liberty to discuss the matter.
License trade officials scoff at thc
Idea, declaring It. Impracticable and
absolutely absurd,
Ticket Scheme Suggested
Among the fantastic schemes being
urged is one for a system ot tickets,
each entitling the bolder to a dally
allowance of liquor, tickets to be nontransferable, no sales permitted without tbe tickets being produced.

NOT "TOO OLD AT FORTY" NOW!
The fearful convulsion in Kurope has over-shadowed the struggle still being waged in Mexico, and
yot in the land of thcAztec events are transpiring
winch may have remarkabie influence upon the
peoples of other countries.
Latterly we have heard and read considerable
about land rejourns, but we doubt if any of the so-
called civilized countries would undertake the drastic changes already effected in barbarous (?) Mexico in so brief a period as has'been accomplished by
those whose slogan is ''Land and Liberty."
'Phe U. S. Press has furnished its readers with considerable "copy" touching the doings of Huerta.
Madero, Carranza and Villa,|blaming and praising
them alternately, but through it all the majority of
these molders of public opinion has endeavored to
prepare the way for the possibility of an armed
intervention across the Rio Grande.
The. doings of the Governor of Nucvo Leon, Antonio 1. Villareal, have received but scant attention
from the news gatherers in the lT. S.. and yet
that well-known free lance. John Kenneth Turner,
author of "Barbarous Mexico," places tlie following noteworthy acts to the credit of this advanced
reformer.
lis 1914, after Huerta left Monterey, capital of
Nuevo Leon, there was but 80 pesos left in the treasury, whereupon Villareal levied an emergency tax
of half a million pesos upon a brewery which, upon
the declaration of the owners they could not pay.
the new government took possession, and after six
mouths' operation the half million pesos wero made
in profits and the property restored to the owners.
May 7. 1914. Peonage was abolished.
May 8, 1014. An agrarian com.niis.sion wns appointed.

UNEMPLOYMENT
"The Right Tq Work"—Meeting at the
Gaiety Theatre—Some Plain Talk
That a workman who, when following liis daily
occupation, meets with an accident adversely affecting his earning capacity ought to receive some financial compensation therefor is now generally accepted in all of the foremost industrially developed
countries. Furthermore, should the injuries prove
fatal, his dependents are regarded as justly entitled
to receive a monetary indemnity as an off-set to t'he
loss sustained.
Kveii many of those who oppose the payment of
compensation don't do so because of the principle
involved, but on account, of the possible effect it
'may have upon their individual pocketJbooks at
some later date.
With a view to the safeguarding of their monetary interests, realizing that as a general rule with
middle age comes an impairment of vision, a decrease in alertness in 'body and a more sluggish mental activity, many big manufacturing firms in Great
Britain considered that man's maximum, usefulness
iu these industries where physical endurance is
essential had been reached at 40 and, fearing the
retention in their employ of men who had passed
this age limit might mean more claims under the
Workmen's Compensation Act, did not display the
slightest compunction when discharging these elements of danger to their real god—Profit.
What became of these unfortunates did not concern the heads of gigantic corporations; they were
not running a philanthropic institution, nor were
they iu business for health, but for what there was
in it. from the € s. d. point of view.
Wc neither condemn nor condone such actions,
but simply point out plain facts, leaving the reader
to make his own deductions.
That between flic age of 40 and the period wh;>n
these discarded workers would be eligible to receive the old iige'pension dole they might succeed
in obtaining the means of keeping thc spark of life
("The Age," -Milbourne)
Several hiia-lrod unem-ployou. together with nr. equal iniaber ot members ot the 3obVi,1*v. l-trty and tradss
union bodies, met in 'Gaiety thentre
ytsterday nftsrnoon to discuss tli3 unemployment .ligation. The causa of
the workers \va3 n,iu laied by the various speakers, .vho demanded that botli
the Federal and Slate Governments
should recognU) l':i> lr'nclple of 'he
right to work." Mr. ft. S. Rons, of
the. Socialist party, presided.
The Chairman lUted that It was ab-
surtl for any govir.'mer.t to declare
its inability to find employment tor
those who needed it. .A Government
that made such n declaration should
'be 'reminded of Its duty to the community. The first principle of the
Labor movement was to focus at ten-
be a market which .Broken 'Hill would
not be able to supply. Why should
not the mines be kept going and the
metal stocks be allowed to accumulate? It was to the advantage of the
capitalists that stocks should be allowed to 'become depleted, so that
when there was a scarcity higher prices would rule, and they would reap
the benefit. That was the idea that
dominated all the time. He was not
going to exonerate the Federal Government from its responsibility simply because the majority happened to be
Labor men. Democracy must be a
live actuality, and judged, not upon
what it said, but upon what It did.
(Hear,- hear.) Jf lt did not achieve
anything then it ought to go down like
Its predecessors. (Applause.)
IMlss A<lela Pankhurst (Women's
Political Association) seconded the resolution, and said that Parliament
should be impressed with the fact that
women needed food and clothing as
well as men. It was said, that the
woman's place was in her home, but

and although the present was a period ± ^1.^1}^ ^^ 0^,1^_
of stress, It was necessary that wages
lands remaining uncultivated by their owners after
July 10 were giibject to provisional confiscation.
The unused lands were parceled out to the pernios
in lots of about nine acres each. The nominal rental is *:i for the uhit'Hgated lands and #6**fur the
irrigated 9 acres, to be paid for AFTF.llharvest.
In the fall of IflH, 1500 peon families were raising
, {■
iTops of their own for the fimt time in t*heir lives.
Under Diaz strikes were settled liy the use of the
machine gun as arbitrator. This was notably the
case at the Orizaba Cotton Mills, when men.-women
and children were mowed down iridiacrimitiatoly.
In November of last year the -Guggenheim smelter
was organized, wages increased 2"> per cent., and
hour* reduced from 12—1"» to 9,
The strike resulting in the improved conditions
mentioned above was brought to n terminntion hy
fioveruor Villareal telling the company that if il did
not consider lhe welfare of the employees the phml
would be taken over and operated for Uio benefit of
1 he employees and Ihe public,
This dangerous revolutionary (!) tackled the un-

dimly lighted or fail in the attempt was not a subject deemed of sufficient importance to be given
more than a passing thought. "Their King and
Country" did not need them then, and provided
they were not guilty of any act- that would rctpi'uv
their presence before a guardian of the law. where-
by they might become a charge upon the stale, thoy
were at perfect liberty (!) to die both physically
and mentally so long as they did it gracefully,
quietly and respectably, and not terminate their
miserable existence too abruptly.
If they so far forgot themselves by trying the
water route, or other self-destruction escape, failed
lo accomplish the end sought, and tlieir failure dis-
covered, the majesty of the law hnd its little deiii'in-

should be kept at the recognized
standard. (Hear.hear.) If the workers
agreed to a reduction of -wages they
would fall back to the times of sweating and exploitation. The Employers'
Federation had suggested that wages
should be reduced, and side by side
with this suggestion they had commercial shadlness, cornering and corruption going on In regard to the sale
of the necessarieB oof the people such
as they had never had before. Everybody knew that the primary necessities of life, were ibeing trafficked ln,
and because of tliat trafficking there
was ample excuse for interference,
not only by the State government, 'but
by the Federal government also. He
would remind Jlr. Fisher that lt was
said from 100 platforms that it was
llie duty of the Labor party to find
work for the unemployed. -He asked
Mr. Fisher what lie was doing to carry out that pledge. It would ibe a fair
thing to demand of the Federal government Unit It should now carry out
its platform as regarded the natlonal-
Jsni.l*mi_/>f—ninn-nm)ll-eg_giir-li_as_aKheatt>
the community was doing to maintain
the home. She had discovered that
employers were dismissing women
and employing young girls, simply because they were cheaper. (Voice:
Shame.) The Minister of Defence
was responsible for a certain amount
of unemployment. Arrangements
should ibe made to find work for women In making clothes for the soldiers.
They found women In the Town Hall
making clothes for the soldiers for
nothing, while across the road, in her
association's rooms, there was the
sight of women on the verge of starvation clamoring for work, (Shame.)
She did not blame the women for doing the work for nothing, but blamed
the Government for not seeing that
women wanting work got It. The
shirt factories were putting women off
because of this voluntary sewing. The
association gave money to poor women to buy >bread. The money was
taken out of the funds and put into the
pockets of those who exploited the
community. It seemed, that there
was plenty of money for the purpose
of destroying human life, but nothing
for the working maen, (Hear, hear.)
A deputation was to see Mr. Fisher in
the morning and it would tell him that
the Trades Hall would ratber see him
break the constitution than tlfat men's
constitutions should be broken. (Hear,
hear.) They .would also ask the Prime
•Minister to let Sir Alexander Peacock
have £3,000,000 or. £4,000,000 so that
that he might find work. Men should
not have to go before an inquisitorial
committee of women and explain their
positions. A man should not ibe asked how long he hag been married an-d
if he had been virtuous. (Laughter.)
The women's committees were worthless. It was work that men wanted, not
charity. (Applause.)
Mr. €. 'Bennett, vice-president of the
Trades Hall Council, also supported
the motion. He said the Federal Parliament had power under the constitution to take over any Industry during
a time of war if it was necessary for
the people's welfare.
'Mr. Maynard, a member of the unemployed committee, criticized the State
Government and particularly the Minister of Public Works, Mr. Hagel-tborn,
in connection with Its attitude towards
the unemployment question.
The resolution was agreed to unanimously.
Mr. E. J. Holloway, president of the
Trades Hall Council, moved.
"That this meeting demands that, as
the State and the. Commonwealth* are
overflowing with needed reproductive
works, the Governments. concerned
should co-operate in finding employment during the present acute distress,
such employment to -be paid for at
recognized union rates on a. 48-hour
week basis, since to meet soaring prices by simultaneously reducing wages
must prove disastrous to the workers
and imperil the standard of subsistence of the people generally."
He did not -blame the Federal Ministry as a whole for its inactivity, -but
the Minister for Home Affairs (IMr.
Archibald), who was in a position to
provide work for thousands if he so
desired. If lie would cease his child-
is^ quibbling with Mr. Griffin over the
plans for the Federal capital there
would be no difficulty in finding plenty
of work at Canberra. The Federal
Government was slower than it ought
to ibe. It would have to liven ap.
(Hear, hear,)
Miss Lewis (secretary.. Hotel and
Caterers' Employes' Union) seconded
the resolution. She urged the establishment ot a labor bureau for women,
and denounced the action of the State
Government in bringing out domestics
from Great Britain.
After several other speakers had
expressed their views, tbe resolution
was carried.
On Friday evening the Fire Department had a call to, extinguish a fire
In the grass and brush along the bank
of the Elk River at the; foot ot Prler

The Chairman: if those things were

would be able to throw out ten tlmeB

GEORGETOWN NOTES
to fish in the Old Man River and
lakes from lst April, I say say that
the matter: has been carefully inquired into. The fish in this district are of the sporting variuiies
and their numbers are not sufficient
to warrant further fishing than that
contemplated by the regulations.
While the department would be exceedingly glad to do anything it feasibly could to moderate the difficulty of those out. of work obtaining a
livelihood,, you will realize that it
would be eminently against the public interest to allow such an amount
of fishing in any one year as would
result ln the depletion of the fisheries in the future.—I am, gentlemen,
your obedient servant, G. J. Des-
barats, Deputy .Minister of the Naval
Service,
All those Itching to make acquaintance with the finny tribe would do
well to study the above letter; it may
save them lots of trouble and money.
TABER
i.i Imve ibe employ of the firm were
ai liberty to do so forthwith and would
be immediately paid off at* the office.
However, it is not necessary to go
outside of Canada or Toronto to find
a similar state of affairs existing, for
more than one or two firms in the
eity have been patriotic enough to
cut wages by as much as 2u per cent
and lengthen hours at the same time,
so that wherever a man may be the
spirit of capitalism finds development along identical lines. It is
ever ready to take any opportunity
tlint presents itself to pay the worker
a lower scale for his services und
make his toil more intense and arduous.
Tlie unorganized workers are always
the first to suffer, and they are invariably called upon to pay dearly for
their lack of foresight in not joining
the unions ot their craft. In these
days, and there Is no getting away
from the fact, If a man persists ln
being a non-unionist he must be prepared to pay the price—and It comes
high,—Industrial Banner.

DENOUNCES SPY SYSTEM
OF BIG CORPORATIONS
Mine worked three and a half days
last week, having to quit at noon on
Saturday owing to a runaway on the
slope.
A certain company official here
brought n policeman from Canmore
to recover a horse's blanket, supposed
to have been stolen from the barn.
After a thorough search through the
belongings of the boarders at the
boarding house, the policeman visited
the barn and found the blanket underneath same hay. They were surely
jumping to conclusions when so little
time was lost before the search was
made in the boarding house, and we
didn't hear about any search being
made in any of the officials' quarters.
Pulling off stunts like this is enough
to make honest men turn thieves.
Tbe afternoon shift has been laid
off here and only morning shift going.
There has been no work lii the mine
here since last 'writing, and not much
chance of any ih the near future, The
life of this camp seems to hang on the
crop prospects of the coming season.
The Town Council is having their
own troubles these days finding work
for people who are practically up
against starvation. Numbers are applying for.work every day, apd the
town has no money to furnish employment. Quite a number of men have
gone to work on farms for the season.
lt has practically been decided to
hold a children's picnic on May lst
either at the river or on the fair
grounds in town. This custom was
inaugurated last year, when a sum. of
money was voted from the checkweigh
fund, and the children were furnished
everything free of charsc. The money
this year will be the surplus of the
ditch contract handled by a committee
of the Local last summer.

Referring to unionism that is
much talked of around this town, you
will notice by the following how one
union man helps another. Here 1 am,
renting a pocket billiard and billiard
room from the Union, and when I go
into the other places in town similar
to the one I am renting, what do 1
find? Why, most of the Union officials
playing billiards and paying one cent
per minute, while my charge iB one-
half cent per minute, which has been
the price ever since It has been a club,
Now, if ail the bqys had to follow
their example, goodness knows where
it would be, as I am scarcely making
a living now, and before taking over
the place 1 was always a member of
the Local Union. And when 1 took It
over I fully expected 1 would get a
fair patronage from both officials and
men; but nothing doing as far as officials are concerned,
Trusting you will find a little space
for this short letter. I am yours,

■Chicago, April 8.—-A. O. Wharton,
president of the railway employees'
department of the. American Federation of Labor, resumed his testimony,
before the United States Commission
on Industrial Relations today. Answering testimony of President Markhani,
of the Illinois Central Railroad, given
yesterday, the witness said organization of all crafts on a system was
found necessary because Isolated unions were una'ble tomake progress,
the railroads, he said, playing off one
craft against another.
ile discussed the so called "detective agencies," wliich he said 'provide
armed guards and strikebreakers to
big industrial companies, send spies
among the union men and in every
way possible attempt to defeat the objects of unionism.
Touching efficiency systems based
on the payment of bonuses, the witnesses cited the shop methods on the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois.
"This system." said Mr, Wharton,
Captain Davis, of Cranbrook, who Is
an officer of the 107th East Kootenay
L. I. Regiment, but who has for some
time been holding a captain's commission in the 88th Regiment at Victoria,
has been appointed recruiting officer
for the Kootenay Overseas Contingent,
and will return to, Cranbrook to take
up his duties in that capacity about
the first, week in May.

The
Recent happenings !n both Can
und the United States must necessarily ton convincing »o even the mo-xi
skeptical that the existence of trades
organizations are Imperatively necessary for the protsmUn (•'. the waste-
earning class inthe Held of industry.
Where organisation Is lacking, i-r
where It is weak and inadequate :o
cope with an emergency, employers a*
a rule are ever ready to take advantage of the opportunity the .weakiidds
of their employes affords to force a
lower scale of wages nnd longer
hours of labor upon them. This truth
bas been unmistakably driven home
during the present business depression
in a manner that even the moit dense
can no longer ignore.
Tlm organised crafti*, even though
trade hits been stuck and many of
their members unemployed, have been
|u most cases enabled to maintain
the conditions they had previously
won, but on every hand the unorganized workers have had their wages
reduced and their hours of labor Increased without additional remuneration.
This fact 1* amply Illustrated by an
places we find that men over 40 years
ada «f age are not wanted."
Scientific Bargaining
.Mr. Wharton quoted an expert workman on "scientific .management."
"..Management," said the witness,
"which does not tejjd to Increase the
efficiency of the wonlimun. lengthen
his period "of usefulness and Improve
his social position. Is not scientific."
Mr, Wharton said that in one big
shop with an efficiency system, if a
lathe, expected to require repairs lu
two years, is intact at tho end of ttmt
porlod, the mechanic Is accused of not
having used It to Its full efficiency.
"Men and .machinery alike are used
to capacity anil both are thrown on j
the scrap heap when their productive-
Ity falls below ii set maximum," said
Mr. Wliui'ton. "When tho great phil-

THE DISTRIOT LEDGER, FERNIE, B.C., APRIL 17, 1915
MINERS' STRIKE
. The same persons who are the loudest in clamoring for the development
of Ohio coal fields and the conservation of Ohio's coal deposits are the
loudest also in their malicious attempts to bridle it.
For 20 years the larger operating
coal companies of Ohio have been
secretly gobbling up the cheap coal
lands of West Virginia, until at the
present time the big companies operating in Eastern Ohio have acquired
twice the coal lands in Wost Virginia in comparison with their Ohio
holdings. The concerns planning and
executing the West Virginia exploit-,
ntion are directly affiliated with and
for the most part completely controlled by the transportation companies.
The plan in operation has been to
make every condition favorable to the
i mining and developing of the cheap
.coal land3 of West Virginia, even to
the extent of reducing freight rates beyond the wildest expectancy of freight
traffic.'bureaus operated in connection
with commercial clubs, All of which
has worked continuously to the detriment of the coal industry In Ohio.
'For muny years all coal mined in
■■■.West Virginia, has been under the
■mine-run system. In 1887 the coal
production of Ohio was over twice that
of West Virginia. Ten years later
West Virginia exceeded Ohio in coal
production to the tune of 2,000,000
tons. Since 1897 West Virginia has
steadily outdistanced Ohio, to the
extent ;iiiat in 1903 the production of
West Virginia doubled that of Ohio.
Another amazing feature of West Virginia's coal production is the fact
that the greatest increase resulted
under the operation of the mine-run
system to which Ohio operators have
so seriously objected.
Ohio coal is nearer the chief manufacturing and lake port markets and
can be mined in every instance as
cheaply as West Virginia coal.
The Ohio mine-run law Which is now
being attacked by the big interests as
being directly responsible for the stand
still condition of the Ohio coal industry, did not become operative until
April, 11V14. years aCter West Virginia
coal had displaced Ohio coal in Ohio's
home markets.
If it "t possible for West Virginia
coal to displace Ohio coal In the open
market, mined as It was, and is now,
on a mine-run basis, while Ohio operators still enjoyed the unjust adviint-
ern, and Kanawha & Michigan jjvere
brought under the ownership and control. Soon after the, Pennsylvania,
Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake jr'-Ohio
and other large systems, under what
was known as the "Trunk Line Syndicate," acquired control of these four
railroads. .*. As an incident to this
monopolization the railroads directly
or indirectly also acquired control of
nearly all the coal companies in the
Hocking district.
The Ohio coal carrying roads became
closely affiliated and connected with
Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal carrying roads. Rates were
advanced ihat have since been maintained on Ohio coal. These conditions
have been investigated by the Interstate Commerce Commission and by
the United States and State Courts
and the plans and actions of the railroads have -been condemned and repudiated. Railroads have been order-
the precaution of setting extra or
"catch" props at such places as they
are filling coal from. They will say,
"There Isn't room yet; we are not
such and such a distance (the specified distance) away yet," when often
the place really requires propping,!
Catch props ought also to be set at
every loose end or corner. The neglect of safety and extra props is
often caused by an imperfect understanding of the reasons for systematic
timbering. If a certain number of
props have to be set in a certain
space, the workmen think that is
quite enough, and that no more are
required. The writer has frequently
seen' places' in a most dangerous condition, and yet e-very prop—nay, more
than-, those required by law—had been-
well;and 'truly set.
Tl(e writer strongly advocates the
use of tapered. props, on the score
both of safety arid of economy. The
conditions most favorable to their use
are.a hard roof and floor, but they
cnn be used to advantage wherever
the roof is only moderate and the
floor is not in a state of soft wet clay.
The idea of tapering props is really
to make, artificially, a weak place in
the prop. In an ordinary prop; like
the mechanic's beam, the centre must
be the weakest place, as it is farthest
froni its supports. --■-■Taper the prop,
and the foot becomes the weakest, but
with this difference in* practice—the
ordinary prop bends and breaks In the
centre, and from that moment Is
valueless as a support of the roof.
in and recover none of it. But surely a
face having twice as many props set
in it as another is safer, the conditions
being equal. The writer knows of a
case where the props ou a longwall
face are set touching one another in
the rows. He believes it to -be a fact
that for 60 years no accident of any
kind whatever has occurred from falls
of ground at the face. Yet he understands that the cost of timber "there
would compare very favorably, with
any In the kingdom. .The props in this
case are always withdrawn, and are
set time after time in new situations:
the simple reason being that no great
weight can ever come on a single* prop
on account of the support given by
those in immediate contact with it.
Sufficient use is often not made of
bars in- timbering the face. These
bars may be of various forms. Props
cut in half make very useful bars.
Flat or corrugated iron strips from 1-2
to .5-4 inch thick, 3 or 4 inches wide,
and 4 to 5 feet long, have all ibeen
used with good results. l?oofs of
laminated sandstone, or containing
slips or potholes, are those for which
the use of bars is most useful, as the
bars cross the .lines of breaks, and
prevent loose pieces of stone from
falling out, while yet providing room
for the collier to work and his tub
to pjiss. ; There Is one place In a
working-stall at which bars ought always to be set, and that Is at the gate-
end, particularly at the edge of the
ripping. In the wrtter'sfexperlen9e of
accidents he has been struck by the
liu-mber of times that a fall takes place
at the gate-end. This is the place
where everyone In the stall, is constantly passing; most of the work In
the stall is done or-passes here; it is
the widest part of the place; and yet
how often Is it neglected? ,
If lhe system ot ttmoering has been
well thought out, a sufficient number
of props used in that system, and the
packing well done, there is no reason
why all, or certainly most of th,e timber should not be recovered and withdrawn from the waste. The, great
secret in doing this Is not to neglect
it. Timber should be withdrawn as
soon as it has ceased to 'be of service
in supporting the place at which men
are working or passing, and it should
not remain a single day longer. There
is far more danger in withdrawing
timber that has stood a long time, and
been neglected, than in drawing that
which is fairly new, and under a comparatively good roof.
Regularity in advancing the face
timber should be accompanied by a
like regularity in removing the back
props and timber. A useful rule In

longer the weakest, the prop will remain set and form a sound support
for the roof.,
Every rpo'f on a longwall face must,
and will, sink sooner or later, and it Ib
useless to attempt to prevent it. Practically, one may say, it begins to sink
as soon as the solid coal Is removed.

operators and coal miners, it Is clearly
proven that the Ohio railroads, less
thnn 20 years ago, carried coal from
the Hocking Valley district to Toledo
for .10 cents a ton, as against the $1
rate now In effect. The railroads then
competed with each other, and with
the railroads of other states, In making the markets for Ohio coal. These
rates may have been low. but the railroads In seeking to remove the conditions then exiting created u condition
which, If persisted In, will bring about
the ultimate ruin of the Ohio conl industry.'
In 1 SUB the Mllroa w formed what
wns then known as their "Community
of Interests." There were Interrelations between the larger systems and
the smaller coal carrying roads, The
Hocking Valley, and Ohio Central, C.

Tile result of this Is that during the
whole rwrntlon of holing a web of
coal, removing It, laying the road, and
holing again the same props will remain perfectly sound. No props will
have to lie changed, nnd therefore the
danger of. removing -broken und setting new timber Is avoided. The
writer has known a face 400 yards
long, timbered with tapered props,
where there was not a single broken
prop anywhere. In his own experience
the timber cost of a large colliery has
been reduced hy more than Ml per
cent liy their use, nnd, at the same
time, the roof of the mine was more
xnfely timbered than before,
In many sytems of timbering the

"There are at least four .causes for
the decrease in early marriages," said
Professor Scott Nearing of the University of Pennsylvania,, In a recent
lecture. "First,We have the unwill:
ingness of the thoughtful,' educated
woman to marry unless she can find
a Al man. He is a scarce " article.
-Then, there is the- modern young
man's reluctance to marry a woman
who Is merely a parasite, a sponge
who will not co-operate actively with
him in the marriage relationship.
Thirdly, there is the abominable economic situation, in which the ruling
wage is that needed by the single
worker'rather than by the married
one. And, fourthly, there ls Uie feeling shared by the inconsiderable proportion of young men and women
that marriage is a trap, a prison, from
which, once entered, escape is impossible or possible only after a severe
struggle.
'^Marriage with the, college women
is not so much a question of chance as
of choice," he declares, "She isn't
obliged to put up with thc first suitor thai comes along, and she won't
do It. She makes as the determining
test: 'Is this the man I want for the
father of my children?' And she's
quite right to set jt up.
"If a girl of 22 can find a man of
25 who has physical health, ability
and compatibility, such an early marriage is ideal. But she had better
wait for tliis man until she te 30 or
35; she had better wait for him forever, rather than make an early marriage with a rotter. She had better
drown herself than do that.
"A young man can no longer soothe
himself with the comfortable axiom
that 'two can live as cheaply as one.'
When he marries he ls more likely to
find that It not merely costs twice as
much for two as for one, but ten
times as much.
"Every woman not engaged with
the care of sunall children," thinks
Dr. Nearing, "should give herself to
some other productive work, for If the
women of today continue to be the
economic burdens to men that they
are now, they will ruin this country
just as Home was ruined by its dissolute women."
However, women are responsible for
only a fraction of the economic ob
Btacles to early marriage.
In one of his first books, "Wages
in the United States," Dr. Nearing
proved that half the adult males in
the United -States are earning less
than $500 a year; that three-quarters
of them are earning less than $600
annuallyr that nine-tenths of them

It has been estimated that a men and
his wife and three children cannot
maintain a normal standard of life
on less than $900 a year. Elementary
arithmetic would seem to show why
there are fewer early marriages, why
there are (ewer marriages at any age,
why there are smaller families.
"Ellen Key Is right when she sayB
that the continuance of marriage, as
well as its beginning, should be based
on love.
"However, Cupid needs a guide in
making a marriage. He has proved
himself a thorough bungler, Eugenics
is the proper assistant for -Cupid, and
will'aid him by bringing together persons truly congenial, hence capable of
an enduring love. Too many men
have married a natty Easter, bonnet
or a cleverly tailored suit.
"Too many women have fallen prey
to football shoulders or a pair of glorious mustachlos. It is no safer to
'follow nature unreservedly' in picking out a mate than in bringing up a
ba-by.

on marrying a person of a different

I want to confine myself to the
discussion of one question, namely,
whether racial antagonism is an inherited instinct, or whether it is :in
artificial product brought about by
cconomlo and social conditions. I
believe the latter is the case, nnd I
want to give you some of the reasons
that make me think so.
I have watched the rise of the prejudice against the Japanese in California. As far as 1 am able to judge
from what 1 saw, the following happened: Labor unions there In their
natural desire to get higher wages
iwlth which" 1 fully' sympathize) invented as a means to that end the
exclusion of Asiatics. They did, however, not confine themselves to that.
They were just as eager to keep out
the .whites from the Par Bast. But
they had to do that in a different
way. They did that through the
press by warning white people that
there was no work for them In California. The outcome of this (movement was the foundation of the Asiatic Exclusion League. . In this league
there were active men like 'Mayor
Schmitz, who afterwards, as you know,
wus accused of the worst type of
grafting, and his successor in office,
Mr. (McCarthy, who was closely allied
with Schmitz. These and similar men
were the patriots who saw that California should be preserved for the
CMlifornians. But you know a movement of this Wild will -never take
holt' of the population unless you
make it clear that the people who
of the white toward the Xegro is purely one of social superciliousness, based, of course, on the assumption on the
part of the whites that the blalcks are
an inferior race.
To illustrate what 1 say that it is
only social superciliousness and not a
case of instinctive antagonism, let me
give the following Illustration: A few
yenrs ago the papers exploited the
trivial fact that a girl from a family
considered socially and financially
prominent In the North had married
her chauffeur. It would not be considered wrong for any of the males
of that family to have relations of an
illegii lunate character with any of the
girls of the class from which the
chauffeur came. But for the chauffeur to dare to marry into a family
of high social standing was almost a
crime. He was not lynched, to be
sure, because you do not lynch white
people, ibut he was ostracized by 'he
family. Now this is exactly, In my
opinion, the real status of the Nsgro
situation in the South. Por the southern gentleman it is a very light offense to have relations of an illegitimate character with a negress. What
the Southerners really object to Is the
upsetting of tho soolal standards; they
have In their hearts no more racial
aversion toward the Negro than tbe
socially prominent families of New
York have toward the whites of a
"lower" social stratum.
Another element enters Into the
manufacture of race antagonism, and
that is perhaps the most serious element. As soon as group antagonism
is once formulated, the romanticists
will step Jn. And these romanticists
occupy a wide range and wield an
enormous power in modern human society. By romanticists I mean Uist
class of people who appeal to the
emotions of the masses without using
rigid tests for the truthfulness cf
their statements, or having a reeling
brother, whether he differs in this or
that, as a rule, insignificant physical
character"—and you will hear from
Dr. 'Boas, and *I hope from Dr. Lowie,
how; slightly these differences are biologically—'"and-we are bound to welcome them all."
But then very naturally the objection is raised that on that basis tbe
country will be overrun by cheap labor. I had a discussion on that subject with a representative of the Labor party iu Australia. The Australian
Commonwealth is founded on the policy of exclusion, I told him they were
running as fast as ihey could into the
situation in which Germany, Russia
and France are today, a situation that
necessitates militarism and hatred of
one nation by another. "Well," he
said, "If we ha.ve not that policy of
When I look at mankind from this
point of view I see, of course, first of
all, individuals. I do not see races.
And the question arises, why is it that
we take the position that the members
of one race have the right to develop,
are given the 'opportunities, while we
look down upon others as not competent, not capable of developing; why
do we not try to give them the opportunities that we give to the members of oui own race?
Here we flatter ourselves with the
doubtful conception that the white
races to which we belong—or, if we
want to be a little more narrow-
minded still, we say the blond north j quite a different character,
the United States. In Porto Rico and
Brazil we find the freest Intermixture
of the races and a perfect harmony
in general social status of tbe offspring of the races in various directions. While among ourselves--which
is true practically of all the countries
inhabited by Teutonic peoples—we
find a peculiar notion of the absolute
difference of racial type which leads
to this antagonism.
So it would seem when we look at
the antagonisms in every respect, in
every way, there is no biological 'basis
for the feeling of racial antagonism,
but we have to look for reasons of;
reasons'
European races, to which ■! have not whicli we generally call nationalism.
the honor to belong—are the highest
development of mankind, and' in theni
alone lies the whole future of the development of civilization. We flatter
ourselves with the fancy that the
j blond northwest Europeans have de-
j veloped of late years, and during the
i hist few centries reached the highest point, mid other races have lagged
behind, and that obviously they must
he n higher kind of organism, and
thul owing to this fact we ought to
try to develop tliem. and not the
others.
Ir. is tho same idea that underlies
ail our thought when we deal with
other peoples, with other races. We
flatter ourselves with tlie idea that
exclusion we shall'be overrun by Asia-i vve ,lave t0 te™*°V onr own race,
which Is the highest one, which will
ic

i, re taking chances they wouldn't en-
are excluded are not excluded for such!
sordi,! motives as economic reasons,!0 responsibility for the truthfui..,-^
bat that they are kept out for higher: "f,wllat they„ ut"r- ™ tW" S"°yi>
And so the usual \1,elong men llke T™lt»cbke. Duehring
tics. The capitalists will introduce
cheap labor, That will lower the
standard of our white men, our own
men. Why should we sacrifice our
men to help others long?" To this T
should say that if the capitalists want
to abuse the feeling of brotherhood j
of all Socialists regardless of nationality and of race toward bringing in
cheap labor, there is a simple remedy,
and that Is, the minimum wage law.
There is a second preventive, which
I should think would be better still:
compel everybody who Introduces
Hindus, or other poor victims of mis-
government into Australia or America, to ron-ke them work only one-half
day and give them instruction the
other half day until they are all on a
par wJlh American or Australian civil!-
.zatlon. If this ls done there is nq
more danger from theni.
So there are two remedies that can
bo used.
Now, then, a second thing is to be
done and must Oie' done, and that Is
this: why should it be necessary for
Russians, or for Hindus, or for Japanese to wish, to come to other coun-
; tries? Nobody, as a rule, leaves his
I country unless he is compelled to do
lead mankind to the highest state that
it has ever reached.
Unfortunately, in matters of this
kind we are only too liable to mistake our wish for facts. Last summer I happened to be in California,
and when 1 traveled through the
woods in the northern part of the State
1 happened to fall in with a foreman
of n logging camp who told me that
not a single man of his whole gang
was a white man. He regretted very
much that he should have to deal
throughout with people who are not
white people. Naturally I asked lilm
who they were. He said, "They are
Swedes and Norwegians."
I fear this is the point of view we
take too often. We fear anything
that seems strange to us, Now, scientific investigation which has lieen
devoted to this subject—and I believe
my colleague, Prof, .lacques Loeb, will
bear me out on that point—does not
glvo us the least shadow of ground to
maintain that there is any appreciable
statements that are employed ln cases
of this kind were circulated: "Eve»y

all our desires to show that there
is no logical reason for the existence
of racial antagonism,-do not do away
with the fact that it exists,
And the ijuestion really before us
that ought to be its-Mf considered, is
| whether there is any way in which

here again anthropology can teach us
certain points that are not only Interesting, but suggest also how the relation of the different people may ultimately develop.
When we look back to the worst
type of mankind, we see the Idea prevailing among people thai a member
of a foreign tribe is not only a foreigner, a being that is different from
ourselves, but we find also the idea
that the member of a foreign tribe Is
specifically different from ourselves;
that we have the same idea that we
liave now in regard to races. When*,
for instance, you find an Australian
—perhaps one of the primitive people
—coming in contact with somebody
who does not belong to his tribe, he
attacks him, and his specific nnd distinctive and only reaction is that he
is a stranger who must be killed.
From this point, wliich lies away back
dilference between the races, of Ku-1 in our own consciousness, we have a
rope, at least. It does not matter

have yielded a negative result. As a!
matter of fact, on account of the situation which exists in California, the
Japanese today aro very careful to
occupy a higher standard of morality
than the whites, because they are on
their guard not to give the slightest
offense. Notwithstanding this, the allegations of low morality tn every respect of the Japanese are gospel truth
with the majority of the CalUornlans
today. In order to further lower the
standing of these people and arouse
contempt, the CallfornlanK even contemplated passing n law—T don't
know whether It was ever passed—
to make It a folony for Japanese and
whitei to Intermarry.
