STATE ORGANIZATION.

In Illinois and Indiana the operators
have state organizations, each of
which employs a paid executive officer
called a commissioner, whose chief duty
Is to deal with the officers of the min
ers' organization. Wh-n any dispute
arises the pit committee of the men and
the pit boss try first to settle IL. II
they cannot agree the matter is ap-
pealed TO successfully higher authori-

the national officers of the United Mine
Workers are asked to help. The com
missioner of the Illinois Coal Opera

cases during the year previous to his
testimony before the commission.

in the gilded music halls that the great
harm is accomplished. There is man

them, women openly ply their de-
moralizing trade. gambling games arc
conducted openly and callow youths
and old rakes drink and carouse with

While a vast majority of the cases are
unreported. an investigation made
year ago by a leading opponent Of po-
lice corruption revealed the fact that
in the Tenderloin precincts there were
nearly 300 complaints. This is deplor-
ably high. as will be realized when it
is considered that many will stand the
loss of money rather Than invite pub
