AN OPERATOR
ON ARBITRATION

A well-known local coal operator
yesterday expressed himself as follows
with reference to the arbitration
question:
Judging from the items and editorials in the
daily papers, the public has been confused by the
talk of arbitration on the part of the leaders OF
the United Mine Workers. large number Of
the public favor such laws for arbitration as
are in effect in Australia and New Zealand. We
have yet 10 hear from any operator who has
not nearly the same ideas. On what are these
laws regarding arbitration that have been enact.
cd elsewhere, and which it has been proposed
should be enacted in this state, based2 1t is
that an employer and his employees shall be
heard by board Of arbitrators, who shall adju.
dirate the matter and compel the two sides to
abide by such decision. This is eminently lust
and right, but whoever heard OF the prepOsterous
suggestion that a man in business in New York
must take into account what another merchant
in the same business is doing in Philadelphia
when a question arises between him and his EN-.
ployes7
This is the demand Of the United Mine Work.

at Carbondale must apply at Lykens, separated
by three or four sets OF mountains and over one
hundred miles away, and utterly disregardng
the fact that some Of the coal is mined by strip.
ping of the surface and that some of the coal lies
IN seams only three feet thick, while in Other
regions the seams are twenty feet thick, besides
the many minor differences in each mine
Over a hundred thousand OF these miners have
never had anything to do with a company doc
tor, or ever had a dollar Of their wages used
up by a company store, because there are nc
stores in any way, directly or indirectly, con
nected with the coal companies in the regions in
which they work. Some Of the men are paid by
the so.called mine-ton, which was never pretend
ed by any company to be a ton, but TO represent
the amount Of rock bone and coal from which Q
marketable ton would be realized; others are
paid by the car.
Thousands OF the miners have no conception Of
a sliding scale, which is quoted as a grievanes

Of computing wages is not in vogue il. their dis

POOR BOARD MEETING.
Number of Applicants Admitted to
Hillside Home.

At yesterday afternoons meeting of
the poor board an especially large num-
ber of applicants for outdoor relief
were considered, several of those who
appeared having been thrown out of
employment and rendered destitute by
the strike.
One of these was Bernard Ducey,
who said he went to the boss and
asked for work last Monday, but was
informed that the mines We're closed,
not enough men having shown up to
warrant opening them.
Sure 1 haven't a cent to me name"
said he, pathetically, land when told
me boarding mistress about it she
threw me out" He was admitted to
the Hillside Home.
Thomas Grady, bent old man. asked
for relief for himself and his wife.
who he said was older than he. The
board decided TO send them both to the
home, but he didn't like that at all and
came nearly refusing the offer.
IF 1 go up there, sure, I'll never
leave it again. Little did l think I'd
ever have to go to the poor house.
Can't you let me have a few dollars to
pay me rent, that's all. Can't you,
please" and the thin, weak voice trem-
bled and broke.
The board was inexorable, however,
and Thomas finally accepted the inev-
liable and hobbled wearily out mutt
tering: "Tll never get out again. I'll
never get out again."
Richard Bepnett, a half paralyzed
miner; George Downing, a negro with
an injured knee, and Patrick Cawley,
another old man. were also admitted
to the home.
The plans of Architect Davis for the
construction of a new store house at
the Hillside Home were approved and
the secretary was directed to advertise
for bids for the construction of the
building.

The "Busy Peoples Course" at this college

RAISING OF DUES.

The amendment regarding the rais-
ing of dues was yesterday disposed Of
and the payments in local unions for
full beneficial members was raised
from fifty to sixty cents, and from
thirty-five to forty cents for semi
beneficial members. The national per
capita tax was raised from twenty
cents to twenty-five cents. These
changes must be established by a
referendum vote of the unions all
over the country, before they become
permanent.
The present rules for the suspend
ing of members are to the following
effect: When anyone belonging to a
local union is six months behind in
the payment of his monthly assess
ment he is suspended. 1t was sug-
gested as an amendment that the time
be extended to twelve months. Dis
cussion on this subject occupied the
entire morning session, but It was at
last decided to ALLOW the law TO re-
main as it is, at present.
Another cause of much debate was
an amendment regarding the status
OF carpenters towards the local unions
of any city, in which he was making
temporary stay. AS the constitu-
tion at present stands, II man Is
called to some other city on any work
he retains membership in his original
union, and continues paying his dues
to that association. An amendment
was introduced, providing for his
transfer to the union of the city in
which he was making his temporary
abode. After considerable arguing OF
the matter, it was decided to continue
as heretofore. The small amendment
was made, however, that in all such
cases, the union man would be sub
ject to and governed by the rules
of the union of the city where he was
making a stay.

time to the end sixteen years later, when
the establishment was broken up and the
animals were ordered to be shot in their
cages. The great secret of his success, he
tells me, was caring for their minds as
well as for their bodies.
Why does the elephant swing to and fro
forever from his chain picket? Why does
he gather from the floor all the straw he

TO the natural craving for exercise. They
are trying to pass the tedium of their
hopeless lives: they are doing anything.

LONELINESS AND HAPPINESS.
Good Reasons why All Should Not
Possess beauty

(From the Boston Transcrpt)
Did If ever occur to you how happy
homely persons ought to be!
To be deformed. ill-shapen or ugly ma
turally makes others satisfied with them
selves. and is not satisfaction happiness!
And to be the cause of happiness in others
operates retroactively- 1t makes ourselves
happy.
The man or woman whose nose is a phys
ioal solecism causes the possessors of nose S
that are not quite so absurd or hideous 10
regard their own proboscises as the perfect
mold of form: and the least attractive.
burnt hoies-i in a blanket eyes are male 10
shine like twin stars when confronted by a
person whose orbs are a mesalliance.
Persons, therefore, who can thus so
easily bring happiness to their fellows
might very naturally be objects of envy to
those of US who are physically perfect.
But let us enSeavor to be unselfsh. Let
us try TO be willing that the homely and
I'll formed shall enjoy the full measure of
satisfaction produced by their unconven
tional physical presentnent. Let us en-
deavor to be content with our own beauty
AID to be content that the ugly and de-
formed shall have exclusive rights in tie r
ugliness and deformity.
Thus is 1t possible for the beautiful ais ,
TO enjoy themselves, for in trying to he
contented with ones own self and 10 per-
nit others TO be contented with their
selves, you are very good: and is it not an
axiom that to be good is to be happy
So, as every handsome man or wom.n
will gladly admit, 1t is good that there are
so many homely persons in the world.
Their presence in it not only, as already
shown, brings happiness to themselves aid
to the handsome ones. but 1t also prevents
beauty becoming too common.
II everybody were perfect as to body and
visage, beauty would be a drug in the
human market, and SO nobody would lie
happy by making others happy by his con-
trasting ugliness, and nobody would b.
happy by the condescen:ion of the beautiful
toward the ugly, as already pointed out
1t is good. then. that there are so many
homely persons in the world; and good. too
tlet US frankly admit, that the rest of US
are so beautiful.
