LABOR'S DEADLY BATTLE.
Master Workman Cha Mbcrlain Says
1t Is Soon to He Fought.


Organized labor has long been a clog
upon the machinery Of greed and a
watch at the home Of the wealth pro-
ducer, whether he is in the union or
not. We believe that in the near fu-
ture a deadly battle is to be fought
between organized labor and organized
capital. 1t is to be death grapple by
the united forces of labor unions on
the one side and the united forces of
the money unions on the other and
the highest court, the bankers union,
the lawyers union, the trust union and
the union of the professional politi-
clans, the newspaper union, the eccle-
siastical union and the international
union of ancient snobbery backed by
the armies and navies of the world.
labor that kicks and strikes against
conditions that it could remedy at the
bollot box. The supreme court has al
ready affirmed the decision, appealed
from Los Angeles, that to be member
of labor union that may include a
strike is to be criminal. The federal
government sent special assistant
attorney general to Hazelton to assist
in establishing the right to shoot strik-s
ers. The military spirit is in the sad:

cents per hundred pounds, or prac-
tically cents a bushel on corn Which
OF these rates was right? The 1917
cent rate was voluntarily made by the
railroads, and it is fair to presume
that they could carry corn at that rate
and make fair profit The farmers
of the United States grew 1900, 900, 900

Too Much for Him.

There is a story of layman who conducted service one day for a wes iss,on. He had been a stout old soldier in his time, but his knowl- edge of Hebrew was limited and his pronunciation of unfamiliar Bible names thing to marvel at. When he opened the Bible that day he could not at once find the place, and after turning the pages neryously, in the face of a tittering congregation, he fin ally took a passage at random and be- gan to read. As ill luck would have it, he lighted upon one Of the genealo- gieal chapters of Ezra, and there he struggled hnpelessly through half a column of Hebrew names, seeking all the time for better luck. At length he turned the page, in the vain desire of seeing some change in the substance of the chapter on the other side. What he found proved too much for him. and after one frightened glance, he thus concluded his reading: And a page and half more of the same kind. brethren. Here endeth the first les son.

A MILE A MINUTE.
High Speed by Trolley Car in Phila-
 delphia.

delphia.
 In whatever other respects Philadel- phia may be slow she has a trolley car which sweeps through the city in the gray hours of dawn and which, taken day by day, is swifter than anything else of it's kind or class in the world, says the New York Sun. It starts from the heart of the city just after the newspapers are out of press and tears away through the silent streets in a northerly and westerly direction. up and down hill and along valleys, with occasional stops to throw out bundles until tWenty-seyen minutes later it rests on the northern summit of Chest nut hill, fourteen and three-quarter miles away. This is at the average rate of thirty-fye miles an hour, in cluding at least one stop every three fOurths of a mile. Sometimes on it's route it has run mile in minute and an eighth and it has made the dis tance in twenty-five minutes, iselud- ing the stops, which Is just the sched- ule time of the steam express trains for practically the same distance between the same places, though on neither the Reading nor the Pennsylvania rail- ways do the trains make any stops. Sometimes, as on market day, there are interruptions, when sleepy teams get on the lines of metals, and occa- sionaly another trolley car gets be- hind time and doesn't give it the right of way promptly, but despite the oeca- siOnaI delays, for two years, in all conditions of weather, facing rain or snow, with mechanical incidents ad- verse to it's career, 1t has made on an average thirty-fiye trips out of thirty five on time and only once has it been longer than forty-five minutes in GOV ering the distance. On that occasion the wreck Of hay wagon was on tle road and for this the Eagle Flzgh trolley was not responsible From the fact that this car carries the morning newspapers for distribution it mig t be thought to be a journalistic ent r. prise in Philadelphia, but this is not the case. It is an experiment by the Union Traction company to test the maintenance Of nigh sse2d and the evenness of schedule tnne under con ditions peculiarly favorable for secur ing exact factors for all the problems it is sought to solve. Every trip is ob- served by electrical experts. the induc- ton is estimated. the power me sur q, the state of the metal. the thermomet. rical and barometrieal cond CTS noted as well as the humidity and fog at tie different elevations along the Inc. and when 1,000 trips have been made the data thus gathered will be considered with view of formulating r suit to be applied in such directions of econ omy and accelerated speeds as may be opened up.

4 GREAT RAILWAY.
The Four ThouSand- Mile Road That Runs
 Through Siberia.

Through Siberia.
 The most interesting portion Of Russia's great 4,0OO-mile railway is the steam ferry across Lake Baikal in central Siberia. The lake, says the London Sphere has an extent of over thirteen thousand square miles, and is more than twice as wide as the Eng fish channel at Dover. In places it is as deep as 4,500 feet, and parts of 1t have never been plumbed. It is sur rounded by some of the hardest noun tains which a railway engineer could encounter. The official plan of the Transsiberian railway includes a rail- way round the southern end of the lake, to connect the two lake shore i termini but the enormous difficulty and expense, which is an important matter to Russia at the present time, of constructing such line conspire to indefinitely postpone it's completion. At present, therefore, the rail ilWay is broken in two by this huge Lake Bai- kal, the western shore terminus be- ing at Baranshiki, and the eastern at MisoVaya To link the two ends with steam ferry which would be able to break through the ice which covers the lake from the middle of December to May was doubtless suggested by the excellent work of the Yermak ice breaker in the Baltic Sir William Armstrong, Whitworth & Co.,, of New castle, were the constructors of the 4ermak, and to the order of the Rus sian government, they constructed a second and larger ice-breaker, which was christeDed the Baikal The parts Of the vessel were put together on the shores of the lake by the firms en- S1neers. It is curious that a railway hrst suggested to the Russian govern ment by an Englishman should owe Us most Vital part to an English firm. he Baikal has three lines of rails lald upon her main deck to carry one passenger and two goods trains across the lake. The trains enter the ice- breaker at the bow, which is run up against pier. The rails are connect ed and the trains run into the vessel. With this toad she will crush her way through three feet of ice at a speed of thirteen knots an hour. A screw at a bow with separate engine sucks away the water from underneath the ice at the bow, which thus splits from it's own weight; the two stubby bladed propellers at the stern at c.e s,.me time force the vessel through the bro ken ice sheet. The actual track of the aaIkaf measures thirty-nine miles. There is harbor and lighthouse at the southwestern end of the lake, but there is no dock where the Baikal could be repaired in case of need At present, therefore. Russias 4.000-mlle railway is absolutely dependent for a through journey on the reliability of a British-build railway ferry.
