The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer.

We have read a good deal of\nlate on how. some ignorant workman\nwalked into a body of gas and caused\nthe loss of hundreds' of, our fellow\nworkmen. I will attempt \"to show in\nthis letter who are* responsible for\nthe ignorant workman, also responsible for the bodies of standing gas.\nIn any of the mining districts of this\n\"country we will find hundreds of the\nmost practical coal miners out of employment. Yet if we were to meet\nthe emigrant trains arriving in those\ndistricts we would find new arrivals\nfrom every country on earth, and\n* -* men that have never seen a coal\n' mme and don't, understand one word\nof the English language, yet they go\nto work as soon as they arrive,, and\nthe practical American miiier is still\nout of work. The coal companies\nknowing tho success of the late arrivals, is the encouraging of more\nand knowing that the supply and demand in the labor market Is the life\nof the business encourages tho so-\ncalled ignorant emigrant with the\nstrong back and tho weak brain in\npreference to'the practical American\nminers. Therefore we find in our\nmidst in the coal mines of this country the so-called ignorant workmen\n* that the coal companies blame for the\n'disasters. Tho coal mines of the\nworld are worked on the most eco-\n. nomical system known to the man-\n_ agement, and we find the seams lying\nat an angle from one to flO degrees.\nIt will bo necessary to take some of\n', those angles to illustrate \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 how bo\nmany of those pockets of gas are\nleft standing., So I will take a seam\nof coal dipping about 30 degrees, and\nwe find for the most economical\nhandling of coal and water that 9'*\n, per cent of the work is done against\nthe dip:-The main headings are driven\ndirect to the dip, the cross headings\nat right angles to the main and tho\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 rooms or breasts * at the moss con\nvenient. angle to the cross head ings\nThoso rooms, or breasts, are worked\nagainst the dip and connected at in\ntervals of from 40 to CO feet between\nthe,last, connecting and the working\nface, we arc forced to divine nils,\nroom into'two compartments, one ih-\n* take and one return for the air.

Then we find one of,\"the\npockets of gas that causes the disasters, and In the most-of tho mlnos\ngenerating gas in (his country ,we\n' find several hundreds that lt is very\neasy ior .tlie ignorant workmen^ to\nfind this faulty system can be avoided by forcing the company to connect tho room direct to tlie heading\nabove, thoroforo allowing tho g,is to\nflo wont owing to, its specific gravity._\nThen,.we will have eliminated oiie of\nthe causes.\nTlie coal companies nro not to\nblamo bocauso the vein thoy aro operating gives no gas, but thoy are' responsible for allowing UiIh gas to nc-\n,'cumulnto nnd enuse thoso disasters,\nIf the causa is by nn Ignorant workmnn or n prnctical miner.

The coal companies in . the United ..States have a\ngood deal harder proposition in handling the seams giving off gas than the\noperators of Europe. - First, by the\nclass of workmen employed, and second, by the greater amount of ex-1\nplosives used in the mines of the\nUnited States. The class of workmen\ncould be improved by having laws\npassed prohibiting the hiring of men\nat the working face until they.could\nqualify as practical miners. The\namount of explosives used in the\nmines of the United- States accounts\nfor a majority of the disasters, also\nfor the haphazard way of robbing the\ncoal fields of the United States.\nThere is about 3S.,per cent of the coal\nin the mines of the southwest left\nin the ground and is lost for all\ntime. The reasons are,, the, cost\nwould be from 3 to 5 cents per ton\nadditional. , Yet the management will\nabandon this coal because of the' respect for his reputation as a..cheap\ncoal producer, because for the same\nreason tho mining laws are disregarded by some of the managers!\nand if no accidents happen all is\nwell that ends well. His success in\ndefying' the ' laws encourages others\nto become outlaws in order to save\ntheir reputation. I notice we have\nfound a modern way of insuring the\ndeath of all persons in a mine where\nan explosion has occurred if the explorers should discover a fire in, the\nmine by sealing the mine. 1 have\nbeen in charge of the exploring party\nin a good deal of explosions in \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 the\nlast 20 years and have' discovered\nfire's after almost every explosion,\nyet I am unable to see any reason\nfor this modern way, only as a protection for the explorers, who know\nit is safer for* them to seal the mine;\nthan take the risk ancl get around\nthe fire.\n' Now, it is time the people of this\ncountry ought to see that' laws are\npassed prohibiting the sealing of any\nmine until all human beings are\nknown to be out.' I have (Studied our\nrescue hLuLion''problem and don't sec\nwhere the present i-oqouo stnHnns\".aru\nof any use. Just imagine a mine explosion occurring '40 miles from \"the\nrescue station. Willi all the quick\ncommunication at hand there is some\n\"There are.two ways of contending\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094by law and by force ;the first,is\nproper to men; the second to beasts;\nbut because many times the first is\ninsufficient, recourse must be had to\nthe second. It, belongs therefore to\na prince to understand both, when to\nmake use of the rational and when cf\nthe brutal. A prince who is wise and\nprudent cannot' or pught not to keep\nhis parole when ,the keeping of it is\nto his prejudice,' and the causes for\nwhich he promised removed.\" I might\ninstance in many modern examples,\nand show how many, confederations,\nand peaces, and promises have been\nbroken by the infidelity of princes,\nand how he that best personated the\nfox had the better success. Nevertheless it is of great consequence to disguise your inclination, and .to play\nthe hypocrite well; and men are so\nsimple in their temper and so submissive .to \"their present necessities,\nthat he that is neat and cleanly in\nhis collusions shall never want people\nto practise them upon. * I cannot forbear one example. Alexander VI.\nnever did, nor thought of anything\nbut cheating, and never wanted matter to work upon; and though no man\npromised a thing with greater asseveration, nor confirmed it with more'\noaths .and imprecations and observed\nthem less, yet understanding the world\nwell, he never miscarried.\n\"A prince, therefore, is not obliged\nto have, all the aforementioned good\nqualities in reality, but it, is necessary\nho have them in appearance; nay, I\nwill be bold to affirm that, having\nthem actually, and employing them\nupon all occasions, they are extremely \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 prejudicial, whereas having them\nonly in appearance, they turn to better account; it is honorable to seem\nmild, and merciful, and coureagous,\nand religious, and sincere, provided\nyour mind be so rectified and prepared, that you can act quite contrary upon occasion. And this must,\nbe premised, that a prince, especially\nif come but lately to \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 the throne,\ncannot observe all those things exactly which make men esteemed virtuous\nbeing oftentimes necessitated, for the\npreservation of his state, to do things\ninhuman, uncharitable, and irreligious-\nand, therefore, it is convenient his\nmind be at his command, and flexible\nto all the puffs and variations of\nfortune; not forbearing to be good\nwhilst it is in his choice,' but knowing how to be evil when there is a\nnecessity.- A prince, then, is to have\nparticular care-that nothing falls from\nhis mouth but what is full of the\nfivo qualities aforesaid,* and that to\nsee and to tioav.. him he appears all\ngoodness, integrity, humanity, and' religion, which last he ought to pretend\nmore than - ordinarily, 'because more\nThen the time lost in ex-\nthe blue print before' they\narrive,\namining\ncan enter the mine leaves little iiope\nfor the entombed. I have carried a\ngood deal of victims but in less than\n30 minutes after an explosion ancl\nhad to resort to every known means\nlo revive the victims,' and I have\nknown some to be unconscious for\n10 hours. Now, what would the lives\nof (hose men be worth waiting for\nthe rescue station men? The miners\nshould insist on having Die rescue\napparatus at every* mino and havo a\ncompany - of tlie most practical men\ntrained in handling of the same nnd\nnot. allow over 70 per cent of them\nin tho mino at ono time. Then in\nenso of nn accident there would be\npl'onty on hnnd to load the' rescue\nparty, Then we could sny wo had\nn rescue station. Now, then every\nstate ought to soo thnt no shots nro\nfired in any mlno, only by* competent shot-firers nnd all othor persons nro out of the mlno. Then we\nwill not hnvo theso holocausts as* tho\nloading article ln almost every dnlly\npnpor to remind us of our Ignorance,\nI will close for this time, hoping\ntho renders will * watch close tho\nadvice glvon by mo on the cnuoos'of\nthoso explosions and you may realize\nthnt you nro not so safo ln tho model\nmlnos of tho United States as somo\nof the pooplo b'Avo told you.\nALEX M'ALLISTI'tfl.\n\"ROME,' Aug. 20.\u00E2\u0080\u0094While; the \ per-,\nsonal popularity of King * Victor\nEmanuel and, Queen Helena of ..Italy\nis rapidly increasing among tke.labbr-\nirig classes, whom the young couple\nhave at* last been able. to\" convince\nthat\" they* take an active Interest\" in\n'their welfare, the general labor situation in Italy, especially in agricultural\ndistricts; is quite alarming. 7 -\nSome '\u00E2\u0096\u00A0. two weeks .ago the laborers\nof the liomagna rejected proposals of\nSignor tuzzatti and the Agrarian as*-\nsociatien, and since then, the situation\nhas rapidly been' approaching a critical point.,' To'Vxplain the grievances\nof Italian agricultural laborers it is\nnecessary to say a few words about\nthe peculiar .systems in vogue in\nItaly.* In the Romagna district there\nprevails the metayer-system of farming, but under two different and-hostile forms.

In Sweden, at least, the\nclergy were possessed of greater\n, -riches than, the king and all the other\n\ estates of the kingdom. They enjoyed\n: the profits of fines;and' forfeitures,\n, which formerly belonged to the crown,\nand -by several foundations and pious\nlegacies, had become, matsers of a\nconsiderable number of \" the king's\nmanors and flefs.7These prelates, so\nstrong In wealth and vassals, fortified\n' and-kept garrisons- in. their castles,\n1 and began by degrees to - act like so\nmany little sovereigns. The lordsand\ngentlemen-aj-^o fortified their castles\nand made, them the seats -\"of \"their\"\npetty, empires; they, treated their\nvassals, \"menial : servants.\"* Though\nthey* allowed them.no wages, ttioy\nmade ; thein till \u00E2\u0080\u00A2> their'. landB and\nObliged them to take up arms to make\nIncursions into the territories of their\n: neighbors. s There were so.few cities\nin, the kingdom that the:deputies of\nthe merchant and. industrial classes\nwere not much regarded In the national councils. .The,, peasants, the\n'most-numerous potent body , in tho\nstate, had the peculiar privilege of\n1 sending their own deputies to the\nestates. Those who lived' In fertile\ndistricts' applied themselves to agriculture. Those ln the northern provinces wero mere savages, spending\ntheir .time hunting fallow-doer, which\ngave them meat for their subsistence\nnnd skins for.,, tho ' king's tributes.\n. Idolatry was still openly professed ln\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0some of tbelr . villages, and Clids-\ntl'nnlty prevailed In others,' ,but thoir\nreligion was. so disfigured by a mixture of their ancient superstitions,\nthat thoy scarcely retained more of\nit than tho bare name of Christians.\nSweden then wns so torn by In-\ntornnl wars nnd jonlouslos that tho\n. principal families rosolved to take'\ntheir rulor from ,a foreign source, as\n'ho would have no relations or tools\n,ln Sweden to support him in- nny\ntyrannous nets. Accordingly, aftor a\nseven years' war, tho Swpdcn choae\nfor thoir queen nn ablo woman and\na foreigner, Margnrot, tho daughter\nof tho king of Denmark, and widow\nof tho king of Norway. By this election, sho wns finally and universally,\nncknowlodgod quoon of Swodon, Don-\nmark, and Norway. But thoro had\nbeen so much bloodshed beforo this\nelection hnd been, consummated in\nISO5 that an attempt by moans of tho\nUnion of Calmar was mndo lo avoid\nBtich disputes for tho future, So far\nfrom accomplishing cdncord,* this\nunion waB tho cnuso of,thoso bloody\nwars that kopt Swodon and Donmarlc\nembroiled for ovor a hundred years.\nTho Union of Calmar hnd throo\nmain nrtlclos, First, that tho throo\nUlngdorau should bo subjoct to ono\nking, to bo olectod hy turnn ln onch\nkingdom. Socond, ho Bhould shnro\nhis prosonco botween tho threo ronlnm\nnnd, without exporting any monoy rocolvod, should spend tho rovenuo of\neach kingdom In that snmo kingdom.\nThird, each kingdom to retain, au\nbeforo, Its lawamnd customs, and that\npublic posts should not be disposed of\nto foreigners. . \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\"\" 7*7 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2'\n...Of course, the,queen was no sooner\n\"established in power than she violated\nthe^tei-ms of-the .*anlbn?l*-y favoring\nDanes . at the expense of Swedes,\ntreating all protests \"with; contempt.\nBut.as.her plans' for,.-, keeping the\nSwedish nobility at ,'a distance and\nimpoverishing the .people*;, were _ not'\nsufficient io subdue such a bold and\nturbulent race, she gained over their\nspiritual guides and ..masters; the\nclergy, by showering- her favors on\nthem 'thereby gaining also - the' assistance' .Of their numerous vassals. \"\"*\nAs themonarchial institution had\nresulted In,so.much violence and. disturbance, Sweden in future determined >.o be governed, not by a king, but\nby an administrator for herself, thereby breaking the union of Calmar. In\nthis anarchical' fashion Swedish history arrives at the time when Steno\nII. was administrator in 1512 and a\ncertain Eric Trolle, Archbishop of\nUpsal. At this time .the Nero of the\nNorth, Christiern II. of Denmark,\nreigned. His birth had made him king\nof Norway also, but he dreamed of\none day conquering Sweden, and\nwaited till a truce his father had made\nwith the late Swedish administrator\nshould expire that he might make\nan advance on Sweden. In this work\nhe counted on ine holp of the haughty\nand turbulent Swedish Archbishop\nTrolle, who came of a family and was\njoined to a party always ready, to\nside with Denmark. Let it be said\nthat the jealous Trolle had openly\nshown, opposition to the Swedish' administrator, so that the latter applied\nto Rome to keep him in order and\nin other ways took means to secure\nhis administrative power. .Pope Leo\nX.\" ostensibly censured Trolle, but in\nreality was pleased at the administrator's troubles, for the kings bf\nSweden, despite the thunders of excommunication, had for long resolutely discontinued the payment of St.\nPeter's pence..,\nOn the other hand, the insolent prelate made it his business to gain more\nfriends to the king of Denmark and\nraise new enemies to the administrator, In- order. to break the truce between the two countries. Leo the\nTenth's legate,\" .John Arcemboldi,\nthereupon came- forward as mediator,\nbut as he was a purely mercenary\ncharacter, he'-was-successfully bought\nover by \"the. administrator, who thus\ncheckmated his Danish^ rival. In addition, ..the Swedish estates, learning\nof Trolle's treachery, declared .against\nhim and resolved to seize his person,\nand as .his; meant a \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 rupture with his\nally, the king of Denmark, theadmin**-\"\nistrator. determined. to arm the\nSwedes for defense. In tbis work\nhe, had the invaluable assistance of\nhis young lord of .six and twenty. It\nwas by the latter's advice that the\npeasants, armed for the most \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 part\nwith bows and arrows,\" were' given\nfire-arms. These fire-arms wero bought\nat Lubeck and shipped to Sweden,\nbut on the waj^ the' ship was seized\nby tbo Danish admiral, which served\nfor-a declaration of* war between the\ntwo nations in which the Swedes were\nvictorious at tlie first encounter.\nHence, thereafter, the administrator\nand his Benate were able to compel\nTrolle to resign his, office as a traitor,\nand his* fort of Steque was demolished,* The, archbishop turned to the\nking'of Denmark and the Pope In\norder to securo his restoration.\nIn a subsequent engagement the administrator died of a gunshot wound,\nwhon tho Danes wero able to triumphantly enter Sweden and, the 'Archbishop Trolle loft his monastery to\nresume his old authority at Upsal,\nwhoro ho mado'that dty.declare for\nDenmark.*' Tho noxt net of tho king\nof Denmark was .to condomn all tho\nsenators to death who hod signed\nthe sentence against Trolle, also tho\nconsuls and magistrates of Stockholm\nand 94 lords underwent tho snmo fato.\nA( the samo timo, tho town was given\novor to tho murdorous and brutal\nlucts ol tho Boldlory, But there was\none who escaped, destlnod to rnnk\nna tlio Protestant liberator of Swodcn\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094that snmo Gustavus Erlcson above-\nmontlonod. Suffice it to say that\nGustavus, who wan In hiding, and\nwho had boon obllgod to work ln tho\ncopper mines, managed to raise, after\nmnny hardships, a succosBful rovolt\nagainst Christiern II. of Donmarlc, so\nthnt ho hoenmo first administrator\nnnd, finally, king of Swodon. Trollo\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2died of wounds rocolvcd ln bnttlo In\n1535.\nFrom now on wo havo to doal with\ntho ovonts of tho Swodlsh reformation. Whon GustnvuB had beon urged\nby his sonatorH and officers to actually proparo for hia coronation, 'ho\nknew that ho was not mnstor of sufflclont funds to defend his kingdom,\nTho rovonuea of tho crown wero\nolthor nllonntod pr usurped, tho Imposition of taxes wns resented by thn\npeoplo, tho commons wero roducod to\nextreme poverty, and tho nobility exhausted by long and oxpcnslvo war.\n6i\u00C2\u00BB the.contrary, the. clergy were rich\nand- powerful, especially the\"; bishops,\nwho had seized on the principal forts\nand\ part -of 7 the 7revenues-; of -the\ncrown. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0! Besides; he was not prepare-\nto' take the'eustomfary coronation1 oath\ndemanded by-the clergy that the,; king\nwould preserve and maintain all*.tti'eir\nprivileges, a_ Gustavus was'firmly de-\ntermlned;to abolish every one of these\nprivileges:\",-. Accordingly he opened his\nmind.tbfhis chancellor, Lars Anderson, who had a\" grudge against the\nclergy \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 for excluding him from a\nbishopric when he had formerly tried\nan ecclesiastical' career., - \"Anderson\nwas possessed with.the new doctriies\nof .Luther,'but he urged that If \"Gustavus dispossessed the' church of. her\nwealth solely on the plea of the public good, the priests and monks would\nbe able to use religious arguments to\nregain their influence over the people.\nBut if, in addition to Gustavus' material reasons, there was coupled the\nalready well-known ' Lutheran teaching, the reformation could be. successfully brought about.; Besides, the\ninferior clergy would* be easily persuaded to shake off, the burdensome\nyoke of a forced celibacy, and. would\ncheerfully embrace so favorable an opportunity to exchange their scandalous libertinism for' lawful matrimony.\nGustavus knew he was, playing a\ndangerous game, and that lt would be\npolicy that such an important change\nshould always be begun by the people,\nand that he should seem to embrace\nthe new religion out of complaisance\nto his subjects. H\u00C2\u00AB. therefore gave\nsecret orders to Anderson not only\nto protect the Lutheran doctors\nwithin his kingdom, but also to invite others .from the universities of\nGermany to spread the new doctrines.\nThe Swedish bishops perceived with\nalarm the progress of, this work, destined to ruin their power and dignity,\nbut although they observed its origin\nfrom the king, he was so careful to\nconceal his views and still continued\nin the external profession, of the\nCatholic religion that they could only\nwatch events. Iri the meantime Olans,'\na Lutheran, published a version of\nthe New Testament, whereupon the\nbishops complained to the king, denouncing him and his followers as\nnotorious heretics. A public conference on religion was appointed ,and\nheld, and the bishops agreed tb publish their own version of the New\nTestament.* The next -step, of the\nLutherans was to publicly marry, and\nGustavus was so. pleased with the\nway things were going that he concluded that he might.at last venture\nto throw off his mask and seize ori,\npart of those estates possessed by the\nclergy. Accordingly, with his senators' support, he had all the superfluous plate.and bells of the churches\nconfiscated, and at the same tiine\nlaid, up -in public .stores the tithes\nand corn, that were .appointed for the\n_U.b_isteiRseTOf~*the~\"army:\u00E2\u0080\u0094He\u00E2\u0080\u0094had-\nsome .trouble with rebellious peasants\nand clergy, but f'a show of arms was\nsufficient to overawe all rebels, and\nthereafter nothing stopped his victorious career. , He recovered from\nthe clergy more than two-thirds of\ntheir revenues,. and seized upon 13,-\n000 considerable farms, somo of which\nhe reunited to his own demesnes, bestowing the rest upon.his creatures\nand the principal officers of his army.\nAt'the* same time, .he caused the\nchurch plate to be everywhere melted,\ndown and carried to the public treas-'\nury, Most of tho clergy settled down\nto tho inevitable and embraced Lutb-\neranlsm, and in this manner, its\nwhole career markod and defiled\nwith utter materialistic did .the holy\nreformed Protestant religion take Us\nrise and dispossess the equ-i?,.y malodorous .Catholic religion of Sweden,\nSuch is a much abbreviated nnd incomplete , account of the , Swedish\nReformation.

Pay_e-Dome\nand Haute-Loire. _- At the * present\ntime, however, one, of the collieries\nin the Brassac basin\u00E2\u0080\u0094namely, the\nDu Grosmenil pit\u00E2\u0080\u0094is subject to carbon dioxide outbursts tbat are quite\nas violent , as., those at Fontanes.\nSimilar outbursts have also occurred\nin the coal deposits, of a0very different character, that traverse the\ncentral plateau, from north to south,\nbetween Decize , and Champagnac:\nFinally, an increased number of these\noutbursts have' been reported in the\nDepartment of Gard, not merely In\nthe Rochebelle and Nord d'Alais collieries, where the extension of the\nFontanes coal deposit is worked, but\nalso in pits working the very different Crelys seams at the extreme\nopposite end of the district. In the\nNord d'Alais district particularly, the\noutbursts have beeri of a very, violent\ncharacter, the one occurring in July,\n1907, having dislodged no less than.\n4,000 tons, of which 1,000 tons were\nforced up to the surfaco. For several hours the entire workings were\nfilled with carbon-dioxide, and several cases of poisoning, resulting in\nthe death of three laborers, occurred\nat the surface within a radius of several hundred yards from the pit. The\nonly practicable means at present\nknown for coping with the danger of\nthese sudden 'outbursts -\ consists in\nthe prohibiting of the winning of coal\nwith the pick substituting shot-firing,\nwith heavy charges of explosives fired\nby electricity from a sufflicient distance. Apart from very special cases,\nblasting has to be carried on during\nthe change of shift, at a time when\nnone of the men are in the pit, the\ncharge being fired from bank. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2' Except in the accident of July-6th, 1907,\npersonal injuries have been prevented\nin all cases where these precautions\nhave been adopted in Nord d'Alais\ndistrict. \" It is, however, essential to\nuse heavy blasting- charges, which\nwill .shatter the coal violently, and to\ndistributeTthe shotsj to \"be fired\nsimultane6u'sly,--over\" tbe whole dis-\ntrict',pf the mine, since, otherwise, an\noutburst .of carbon\" dioxide may.,0c-\ncurTuriexpecte\"dIy~during\"thlTsHft .md\"\nbe attended with more serious results.0 In most' divisions of the mines\nwhere sudden outbursts of carbon\ndioxide occurred during development\nwork, pillar and stall working, haB\nnot been adopted to more than a\nsmall extent. In such cases the regulations might.be made. less stringent, if. only in view of preventing\nfalls ; of roof and coal as a,. consequence of excessive blasting charges;\nand in the\" case of pillar * workings,\nwith sufficiently narrow intermediate spaces and far enough away from\nthe zone of greatest danger! winning\nwith the pick, or a* least with smaller blasting charges might be permitted.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Victoria Colonist.\nHAVE\"YOU REMEMBERED IT?\nSTRIKES AT END IN AUSTRALIA.\nPeaceful Conclusions Come to Labor\nDisputes In Large Cities.\nSYDNEY, N.

When the remark Is made by a student of economics\nthat capital receives 80 per cent arid labor but 20 per\ncent the porson addressed not infrequently makes the re-\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2joinder: \"You do not know what you are talking about\"\nand\" alludes to some particular industry where the profit\nis only on a very small*percentage and that the wages\npaid to lho 'laborer/represent 85 per cent of the expenditure. This assertion may be perfectly correct, but\nin nowise-contradicts the prior assertion for the process\nof production does riot begin and end in one establishment, but is interwoven with every other department of\nproduction whether it bo in the extraction of,the, raw\nmaterial from mother earth or the various phases\nthrough which0 it passes en route to the ultimate consumer. The first speaker-is dealing with the collectivity\nof\" capital and labor, whereas the other simply refers\nto individual institutions, consequently, although both\nmay be correct in their assertions, each is judgiffg from\na different standpoint.

One night an ever-eventful\none ln my memory, father was studying in the library\nwhile I, a lad of ten, amused myself with a new toy\nengine that had been given to mo for a birthday present; suddenly the door was opened and three policemen entered without ceremony, one seizing my father\nwhile the other two ransneked the house in search of\nsuspicious literature, this concluded leaving everything\nscattered around where they had thrown them on the\nfloor, departed with father in their custody. Child-like\naffrighted with terror I cried and while sobbing and\nwondering what the police were going to do to papa,\nmy mother who had been visiting came into the room\nand noting the disordered state of the room and the\nabsence of father asked me where he was. All I could\nsay .was that the. policemen had taken him, when she\nrushed out of doors it was a freezing night and I afterwards learned that she had gone from police station\nto police station without getting any information must\nhave fainted and in her state of health and the oxclte-\nmen were too mueh for her poor frame and I never saw\neither mothor or father again alive.

Frequently it has been\nconfounded with the Upper Freeport\nclay, and so called in geological reports. It belongs, properly below the\nhorizon of the Upper Freeport limestone, and has often been spoken of\nas t replacing the limestone, and occupying its place in the column.\nWhether, or not, this is correct, I do\nnot think has been definitely settled.\nThe limestone seems to be absent\nwithout the clay being present, and is\nso irregular at all times that such a\nstatement can only be based on a\nvery extended series of observations\nover the whole region covered by the\nFreeport series.\nWhile the flint clays are so valuable\nin the production of refractories, yet\nto the coal miner they are not of\nsuch direct value as the plastic clays\nunderlying tho various workable coal\nbeds, and in this section these are\nmainly confined, to the Allegheny\nRiver, series.\nThere is ono coal horizon between\nthe top of the Homewood sandstone,\nand the base of the Mahoning that\ndoes not have underlying it a clay\nbed. Often these are not' of workable dimensions; often they are so impure as to ,be of no value. Their\ncharacter is in no way related to\nthat of the overlying coal, nor does\nthe character change in any way with\na change in tlie character of the\ncoal, or vice versa. The coal may be\nutterly worthless, yet the clay may\nbe among' the- best of the plastic\nclays,, of the series, and on the other\nhand, we often find a good coal, of\na good thickness, and-the - underplay\nwithout value, or practically wanting.\nA clay will often change in a' short\ndistance not only in thickness, but\nin quality and,', characteristics'' as ..well,\nso the fact that a clay is of good\nvalue at any point does not mean It\nwill be of - equal value even one-\nfourth of a mile distant. .While this\nis undoubtedly the rule, yet in the\ncase of some clays tliey seem of a\nuniformly valuable character-1 over\nquite large areas; the best known bf\nthese valuable district in Pennsylvania probably, being the Beaver\nRiver section, where the lower'Kit-\ntanning clay is uniformly developed\nover a large area, and while not uniform in character, yet possesses good\nworkable qualities wherever it has\nbeen opened. Throughout that district\nthe overlying coal is of little value,\nas is generally the case with all other\nclay horizons.\nThe question of the underclays\npresents'itself to tho coal minor in a\nnumber ,of different ways, Thore is\nnecessarily, in many* cases, a portion\ntion of tho underclay removed to\nfacilitate mining. .Generally this is\nmixed with tho other refuse from tho\nmine so that it is of no\" practical\nvaluo. To use' this portion of clay\nit is necessary that it bo kopt by\nItself, and not contamlnntod with\nother waste materials, or by tho\nwaters from tho mlno. The amount of\nclay thus necessarily ^akon from tho\nmlno is gonorally smnll, ancl is not\nof sufficient nmount to'supply a modorn clay working establishment of It-\nsolf. Thoro aro cases whore the clay\nthus mined, bolng of a high flro-ro-\nslstlng quality, ond plastic as woll,\ncan be used ns a \"blndor\" ln working somo of tho clays dorlvod from\ntho flint horizons, or it might- bo\nmixed with shnlos and thus usod in\nmaking somo of tho lowor grades of\nbrick. To do this, howovor, thoro\nmust bo a propov relation of murkot\nto th'o location of tho plant, for Uioho\nlowor grades of brick will not permit\nof .shipment to any groat distance,\nonpoclnlly undor tlio prosont. frolglit\nclassification of brick, by which thoy\ntnke a higher freight rato than grain\nproducts or other articles of many\ntimes tho valuo of olny goods, lon for\nton, .

At times series of preliminary trials will be necessary, to\nobtain indications or the methods of\nmanufacture to be' followed in the\nreal testing.\nWe recently had such a case in our\nown experience. We had received\na car of clay from Montana for trial;\nin this case, however, there were four\ndifferent clays in the car, and we\nknew nothing of the conditions under\nwhich they were found, or how the\nsamples were procured, and wo had\nno experience with clays from that\nregion. There was not sufficient of\nany one kind to permit any waste\no. material, so we made up a lot of\nsmall < trial pieces by hand, carefully\nnoting,the behavior of'the clay in\nmolding, and In drying, and then by.\nplacing these samples in- different\nparts of the kiln, we obtained some\nknowledge in burning, comparing the\ntrials at all stages with materials of\nour own which we were using every\nday; and having run through a lot of\nthese trials we were then in position\nto begin the real testing of the clays.\nIt is generally thought considerable\nknowledge can be had of a clay by\nmere inspection. Such is not the case.\nWhere one is familiar with clays\nclosely associated with one under investigation, and knows regarding the\nsurroundings from which'it has come,\nexperience will suggest the line of\ntrials to be pursued, but the first\nactual trials may show such deductions entirely wrong. A light-colored\nclay may in use burn a very light\ncolor, or it may burn dark, while on\nthe other hand a dark \"colored clay\nmay burn, white, the coloring matter\nbeing entirely organic^and driven off\nby the heat of burning. ,\nIn procuring a trial sample of clay\ngreat care should be taken to secure\na true average sample. A- sample\nfrom the \"crop\" is worthless.\nIt is weathered. to\" such an extent\nthat nothing can be told of the deeper lying portions of the bed. Many\nof the impurities have been dissolved and wadhed away. .The effect\nof weathering has been to make the\nclay more plastic, and render it more\ndifficult to,;dry. The particles have\nboen .broken _ui- si^that a smoother\ndenser article\" is produced. Excessive\nweathering in one way is an approximation to \"washing\" and hence the\ncrop may indicate a use.that will be\nfound impossible when once' under\nKood_co_y_er. _and_awav_ Jcor__t_e_sur_\nface..

As\nit is today, it is a time of ruinous\ncompetition, without any necessity of\nsuch being ,the case, and many plants\nhave gone' out.of business, with a\ngreat loss of, money. Many plants\nare today merely existing, being carried on in the hope of something\n\"turning up\" that will allow them to\nmake a profit,, while there are some,\nthat owing to location, to the character of the goods they make, to the\nfact that they make some kind bf\nspecial, line, have been and are making fair profits. In the absence'of\norganization tlie matter of freight\nrates Is much against* the clay manufacturer, -There are gross inequalities here .that only can be remedied\nby organization. - No, logical reason\ncan be assigned for the present rates;\nthey are either*entirely too high, or\nthero are other classes of goods that\nare being carried at a loss to the\nrailroads of the country. These are\nsome of the factors that must ,be considered. Like any other business the\nclay industries have many sides, all\nof which need to be studied, ani it is\nnot only the possibilities from a mere\nmanufacturing point of view that need\nconsideration, but as in , all other\nventures it is the view from the-business side that must in all cases determine the real possibilities of any\nclay working.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mines and Minerals.\nAmalgamated Society of,7 Carpenters\nand Joiners: Meets In the Miners'\nUnion Hall. 7 A.
