miners out who have been working.
This order will affect over 200 men,
who will lay down their tools to-mor-
row. The Lister and the Tynon mines
are the principal mines affected, as
they have been shipping coal. but the
Eureka. the Davis, the Whitehouse and
the Ely mines AT Rim are also includ-
ed. These mines have all been paying
the scale. and the Rim mines have
been supplying, by wagon trade. Gree

surrounding these places. Their com
bined output is placed at about 400 or
800 tons per day The Longs Peak
mine has been taking out coal for Gus
tom trade and is also included in the
mines now affected.
Tomorrow will see every mine in the
northern district absolutely idle If the
plans adopted at to-day's meeting do
not miscarry.
There was strong opposition TO the
closing of the mines that We're paying
the scale. and had the decision been left
to Erie alone no such action would
have been taken. but the mass meeting
was controlled by the miners from Lou

northern district prevailed and the
meeting adjourned.

Rene. Jan. 2S-The Pope-s eneyclical

! dated January 18th. and says 4 dis
tinctiou must be carefully drawn be-
tween socialism and the Increment
among Catholics reviewed in his preyi-
oIls encycljcals on the socialistic sub
jecl. and which was called Christian
Democracy
The Pope commences with recalling
his fwo previous encyclicals on social
questions and says that the sequel of
these encyclicals was that the Catholics
devoted all their activity TO social works
to help the working classes. The pom
tin here reviews all that has been done
in this tlirection-the foundation of Ia
Dor bureaus. funds established for the
benefit of the rural classes and work
ingmen's associations of all kinds. He
considers the appellation Christian So
cialism'' incorrect. and says Catholics
who OCCUPY themselves with social
questions are sometimes also called
christian democrats" But even this
title is attacked by some people as be
ing astounding Divercences have
arisen therefrom and the Pope ardently
desires TO eliminate them.
The careful distinction must be
drawn between socialism and Christian
democracy. The first concerns Itself
solely with material possessions. al
ways seeking to establish perfect
equality and common holding of
goods. Christian democracy. on the
contrary. respects the principles of d.
vine law. and while seeking material
ameliorarions. has in view the spiritual
welfare of the people. Christian dem
ocracy. moreover, must not be con-

POPE ISSUES ENCYCLICAL
IN RELATION TO SOCIALISM

founded with political Democracy. for
the first can and ought to subsist as
does the church herself. under the most
varied political regimes. Christian dem
ocracy also ought TO respect the laws
of legitimate civil authority. The APP
pellatiop christian democracy there
fore. contains nothing which might Of
fend any one. These divergences hav-
ing now been dispelled, Catholics
should continue to devote their cares
TO social questions and betterment or
the working classes. The Pope encour-
ages the zeal and action of those Cath
olics who consecrate themselves 10 TINS
eminently useful work.
The encyclical eulogizes giving OF
aims. which the socialists wrongly re-
gard as insulting to the poor. Aims. on
the contrary. serve TO tighten the ties
of social charity. 1t matters little
whether this action of Catholics in IA
yor of the working classes is called the
social action of Catholics or Christian
democracy. The essential point is that
Catholics must act together to preserve
the community of effort and sentiment.
Idle. useless questions ought therefore
never 10 be brought up in the press q
public assemblies. Catholics must act
so as not to engage in disputes.
The pontiff concludes with eNhortinS
Catholics to inspire themselves with
these principles and to inculcate them.
They must urge the people and work
men to shun everything invested with
a seditious or revolutionary character,
respect the rights of others. be respect
full to their masters. and observe So
briefly and religious practices. Thus
will social peace again become flourish
ing throughout the world.
