Indianapolis. Ind. June 1y.-Au 1ffl
cial call for a national convention OF
the United Mine Workers of America
was issued Wednesday afternoon from
the national headquarters in this city
by Secretary-Treasurer Wilson. The
convention will meet here July II to
determine whether the soft coal min.

The basis OF the apportionment o.
delegates to the convention is one fo;
every hundred members Of the loca'

make a convention of 900 delegates
The voting strength of all locals is
between 2.300 and 2,400. or this the
convention will have a voting strength
of from l. ZOO to 1900. bare major
ity can order a strike. A little over
900 can declare a strike. The three
anthracite regions cast TAI votes. Vir-
ginia and Michigan, which Joined in the
call for the convention, have so. max

which united to call the convention.

Columbus. o.. June 19.-The execu-
tive board of the Ohio Mine Workers
board Wednesday adopted a set of res
olutions asking President Mitchell to
call a general convention of the union.
II is stated upon unquestionable au-
thority that this action is for the pur-
pose of fighting the question OF a
strike to assist the anthracite miners
in their fight
The Ohio miners prefer to take their
chances in convention rather than
permit the national board to declare
strike. Ohio operators have been
assured that there will be no strike
declared. The resolutions adopted
Wednesday say in part:
The life of our national organiza.
ton being threatened should our
forces be defeated. we believe that n
more comprehensive plan Of campaign
should be marked out and u clearer
understanding Of the dangers confront
Ing us given our members. so that ev-
cry effort can be made with honor
and credit be directed to the crushing
or the enemies OF our union. rather
than for the correction at this time
of minor grievances"
In tbs connection i is pointed out
that Ohio miners and operators are
working under contract. It is
known that the whole force OF the
Ohio mine workers organization is
opposed to a strike and will fight the
proposition on the floor of the conven.
ton. The Ohio miners prefer to paw
so cents a ton on all the coal they
mine for the benefit OF the anthracite
men rather than break their con.

History says that in 1901 Jean and Pierre
Lafitte. Frenchmen and brothers, came to
New Orleans at a time when Louisiana,
then but recently acquired by the United
States, was attracting much attention.
They soon became identified with. and
leaders among the adventurous spirits of
the period and it is a matter of history
that Capt. Jean Lafitte rendered loyal and
material service to the Americans in the
battle of New Orleans, in 1915. After this
his authentic history ends, but his career
Of a semi-veracious character 1t is GER
tain that he disappeared from Louisiana
for some time and tradition says he
brought Napoleon from Elba to France,
and planned to bring him to America. II
says also that Lafitte returned to this
country with large sum of money belong
ing TO Napoleon which he buried, and that
he then entered on a career of adventure,
free-booting and conspiracy. His name
still figures in local legends that perpetuate
themselves in unfrequented parts of the
gulf coast. He is the hero Of a story by
Mary Devereaux, In which she sustains
her reputation already established as
"Lafitte of Louisiana" centers mainly
about the adventurous Frenchman, but it
introduces many other interesting charac-
ters The scenes are laid in France, Louis
lana and the island of Martinique, and the
action, which is partly on land and partly
at sea, is varied and exciting TO an unusual
degree. The author has made good use

first-rate story, in which romance and
reality, love and war are skilfully inter-
mingled. Boston: Little, Brown & Co.

sHOPKEEPERs TO THE FRONT.

Whoever first referred to the English
people as "a nation of shopkepers" coined
phrase that survived. The phrase is
usually attributed to Napoleon I. but that
is probably mistake. Singularly enough
the expression was first used by an En-
glishman. Adam Smith, the founder OF
political economy as a separate branch of
human knowledge. said in his Wealth of
Nations published in 1776: ITO found a
great empire for the sole purpose of rails
ing up a people of customers may at first
sight appear a project fit only for a nation
of shopkeepers." This was many years
before Napoleon's time. AS far as known
the first use of the phrase by a Frenchman
was by Barere, an orator of the revolu-
tionary period. who, in a speech in the
French convention in June, 1874, asserted
that Howe had been defeated in a naval
battle that had just been fought, and said:
Let Pitt then. boast of his victory TO his
nation Of shopkeepers" 1t is not unlikely
that Napoleon, caught by the happiness of
the phrase. may have applied it to the
English sneeringly, as of course Barere
did. and its subsequent use has always
been in derision. 1t has been a stock
phrase with all who wished to belittle the
English people. and has probably caused
Englishmen more annoyance than the
world knows, though they have done
enough good fighting. first and last, TO
deprive it of any humiliating significance.
Napoleon himself found in the end that a
nation of shopkeepers could also furnish
soldiers
Without discussing further the origin of
the phrase it is interesting TO note that
after its use for a long time derisively the
beginning OF the twentieth century finds
all civilized peoples vying with one an
other for the distinction OF being fore
most as a nation of shopkeepers Only a
short century ago war was regarded as al
most the normal condition OF nations and
lighting the noblest employment of men,
Napoleon had no other use for men but to
make soldiers OF them. and he succeeded
in impressing that duty on most OF the
governments of his time. Mulhan

and France from 1898 to 1915 at 1900 900
men. Now both nations are rivals in
trade. Although wars have not ceased and
are not likely TO. the victories of peace
are more thought of now than those of
war. In 1870 less than 10000 patents had
been issued by the civilized nations OF Eu-

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
Savings and Savings institutions

Savings and Savings Institutions is a
book Of unusual interest because il treats
exhaustively the important subject named
in its title. While the various plans of saw
ings institutions are discussed and criti-
cised intelligently, the more notable feature
of the work is the treatment of the theory
and educational aspects Of saving. The au-
thor, Prof James H Hamilton, of Syra-
cuse University, declares that saving is not
the boarding of money. To secure all the
advantages of saving to the person who
saves and TO the public generally savings
must be placed where they can be made to
earn revenue for the depOsitOr and TO
promote the general welfare The savings
or the mass of wage-earners and of people
OF limited incomes furnish the blllons OF
money which are loaned to great enter
prises. The 8, 500 100000 of savings bank de-
poslts are of first importance to the de-
positors, but they have a secondary value
In that they are put into industries and en-
terprfseS which give better employment TO
the depOsitors themselves. Nations are
progressive" said the late President Walk
er the economist. lin proportion as they
possess the power to save" This statement
is sustained by experience. Such an eco
nomic fact gives greater Importance to
the subject of savings than can the per-
sonal advantage to be derived from II. The
author holds that the man who saves, how
ever little, is a better citizen than the man
WHO uOtS not. Inc person WnO SAVES has
a stake in law and order He becomes
temperate man, and, restraining his ap-
petites, he is morally better man. 1t was
the remark of a venerable head OF large
manufacturing establishment in Massa-
chusetts: II can rely upon the man who
has a savings handbook" and because he
could he operated such an institution. paying
the highest rates of interest. Professor
Hamilton maintains with argument and
earnestness that the teaching of the art OF
saving should be a branch of the public
school system. He gives an illustration OF
the good results in the work of Professor
Carpenter several years ago in the schools
of Bloomington, Ind, in which the savings
of the pupils were invested in building and
loan stock. He holds that saving by school
children is a character-builder. The part OF
the work devoted TO the influence OF saw
ing upon the individual and society is most
interesting.
AS to savings institutions the author dis
credits insurance associations; building and
loan associations and the co-opera-
tive bank, he says, are excel
lent as far as they go; the savings
bank institution represents the most
conservative, the most logical and the most
hopeful scheme for lettering the cOndi-
ton of the laboring classes; the postal saw
ings bank is highly recommended, to sup
plement other savings institutions. Pub
