The Gillian coal mines. opened in 1855, seem to be nice places to work in.

They are lighted by electricity, and you can have a ride for mile under the ocean on an electric car at a speed of twenty miles an hour The mines form quite 8 eataeomb of well-fighted passages under the water The out- put of coal is now 1000 tons q day. and 750 miners are employed in them.

St. Louis Strike is Serious.

st. Louis, May 9-The employees of
the ST. Louis Transit Co., numbering
5000 men, today made good their threat
to tis up the street railway traffic Of the
city.
In doing so they not only paralyzed
the business Of the company which OPP
crates ell the electric and cable roads in
the city, with the exception Of those
owned by the st, Louis and Suburban
Railway Co., on which strike has been
in progress for two weeks past, but
brought matters to stand still in half
1t is the most complete tieup ever seen
in st. Louis.
Riotous proceedings began almost i'm
mediately, When the company tried to
take cars out from the. various barns of
the system the non-union men who had
undertaken the task were at once sur
rounded and urged not to make the at
tempt.
If they persisted the cars were sur
rounded by bowling mob and, as it by
magic, sticks aud stones filled the air,
forcing the men in charge to desert their
pests.
During the fusilade windows in the
cars we're broken, while their sides were
SCARED and dented by the missiles.
At first the storm centers we're con-
fined to these remote points. By and by
few cars managed to slip away from
the crowds around the power house and
car barns and made their way down
town. Then the theater of activity was
transferred to Washington avenue, Lo-
Gust street and other down town thor
oughfares.
The same tactics were resorted to
down town that had proved SO vicious
around the barn. A crowd would sur
round the car and while the boys and
young men would shout ''scab" and
"cheap screw" at the motorman and
conductor, from farther back in the
throng would come volley of rocks and
bricks, smashing the windows and
frightening thu men in charge from their
posts.
The most serious personal injuries sus-
tanned up to nightfall were received in
riots OF this character which to * place
on Washington avenue from Sixth to
Eighth streets.
10 one OF them a boy was shot down
by non union conductor who was try
ing to push his car through the crowd.
In the fracas further down motorman
was seriously injured by brick thrown
by some one in the crowd.

OUR "TecHNIcAL" BOARD.
We think not,

The Board of City Commissioners
Is very technical when 1t comes to
granting n, big contract to the highest
bidders, but in little matter like in
creasing the salaries Of city employees
from $1,000 to $4,000 a year, it valves
technlcalty in truly graceful style.
For instance, since tile Council turned
down the recommendation of the
Board to increase the salaries of po-
licemen about $1,000 a year several
months ago, the Board has resolved
that the proper thing to do is to get a
bill through the Legislature making the
increase without the concurrence of
the Council.
1t will be more to the liking of the
people If a bill We're introduced to
wipe out the whole deficit. creating
Board. and this is the extremity the
Board is driving the people to. Rails
ing salaries to the extent of seven or
eight thousand dollars year, with n
deficit Of S65,000 already staring the
people in the face, will mean political
death to the local official or party that
undertakes it.

just so long should the people defeat
the candidates presented for nomins-

ticians. In this way the people will
soon make even the politicians tired of
the present misrepresentation form of
government, and better than all else,
will curtail their power for evil by

If the City Commissioners were de-
pendent upon the good will of the peo-
pie for the tenure of their service as
public officials, rather than upon the
whim Of political boss, would they
have recommended the awarding of a
hundred thousand dollars worth of pa
wing contracts to the highest bidders?
Under the same circumstances one of
their members would not have run a
race with the Sheriff to place out of the
way of an injunction suit, a ten-year
lighting contract which the Board in'
sisted upon awarding to the highest
bidder. Neither would they have rec
commended an $4,000 salary raise for
city employees without finding out what
the people think about the matter.

The City Commissioners went ahead
without the consent or knowledge of
the Council and improved N. College
street, for the benefit of the steam rail-

Of the city. They did not even ask the
railroad companies to pay their share.
