The Coal Miners Trust.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

One phase of the present coal strike seems
to have escaped the notice of most people
who are looking for the cause of the trouble.
We are tired of hearing different authori-
ties telling us OF what they intend to do
with the operators, although 1t cannot be
denied that the operators have apparently
violated the laws to an extent to justify
seizure of the mines by the state, for 1t
must be borne in mind that the state holds
the right of eminent domain over all prop
erty within Its borders. One other right OF
the state which apparently would be great
surprise to good many who are so busy
telling us how to settle the strike in short
order, is that the state also holds
the right of eminent domain over all of its
citizens. Suppose, for instance, there were
only one or two carpenters in the District
of Columbia and they concluded to stop
work until they were recognised as the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-10-02

the anthracite mines and work elsewhere.
Then there will be no one to work the
mines, and with the law at present on the
books no one can be allowed to work them.
The proper way to treat them is to enforce
the right Of eminent domain on them and
make them get to work and to handle the
operators without gloves at the same time.
Governor Stone seems to have a hard time
making up his mind just what to do in the
matter, the readers of The Star may recol-
lect the trouble he had deciding what to do
as to the recordership of Pittsburg. II all
other means fail. suppose the public bring
the same influence to bear on him that
proved so successful then.

rious mistake printed in last nights Star
under the heading, Our One Poisonous
Vine" The leaves Of poison oak have three
leaflets, while those Of the Virginia creeper
have five. The woods and fields about the
city are overrun with this venomous plant.
The fences along the roads are covered with
luxurious growth of 1t. Contact with this
vine should be carefully avoided, as the
poison Is easily transmitted from the clothes
or shoes to the hands and face. The poi

In all parts Of the plant, and Is still pres

poison is contracted only by actual contact
and is not transmitted by the wind, as is
commonly supposed. Immediate washing

POISON IVY AND CREEPER.
An Error as to Theig Distinguishing
Leaves Corrected.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
At the bottom OF page II, last column,
of The Star of Wednesday evening, 1 no.
tice a clipping that may cause much suffer-
ing and even death II the, statement therein
is not corrected. f. IS About our "one pol
sonous vine," in Which TT Is stated that
the leaves of the Virginia creeper grow in
threes, while those Of tie poison oak are
in fives. ;E sol
AS matter of fact, exactly the reverse Is
true, the leaves Of the Virginia creeper,
the Ampelopsis quinauefelia, now known as
Parthenocissus, are Ave. even sometimes
seven, parted and the edges serrate or saw
soothed, while the poison Ivy. the Rhus
radicans has threeSaieafists only. and the
edges Of the leaves are entire or coarsely
and irregulariy notehsd,p and the stem Of
the terminal leafiet5s lnhger than the other
two and ali the peHolhs are longer than
those of the creeper which meet in com.
mon point.
The proper remedy for Rhus poisoning
Is a solution Of sugar Of lead dead acetate)
in alcohol applied as wash. The poison
being an OIL water solutions have little
effect Those who wish to identify the
plants thoroughly may consult THE Illus
trated Flora Of the Northern T. So by
Britton and Brown. to be found In our pub
lie libraries, in which all plants of this
region that grow Wild are figured. The
Rhus Is a very cosmopolitan plant, growing
almost everywhere In temperate climates,
sometimes vine, sometimes a low bush.

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1902-11-14
BadIy rrlghtcned passenyer..

The occupants Of the smoking car on
the Santa Fe's east-bound train Sunday
evening had lively scare about half
way between Manzanola and Rocky Ford,
While the train was moving at the rate
Of forty miles an hour shot came through
sne of the windows, completely demolsh-
ing the glass, Tho bullet glanced upward
and broke one Of the ventilator windows.
That everybody was scared goes without
saying. There were fears Of additional
bullets and demand for money and
watches. and everybody sought refuge on
the floor. One gentlemen in speaking Of
the incident said that when his fellow
passengers hastened to the shelter of the
floor he did likewise. His action was not
impelled by fear. he said, but simply de-
sire to avoid the notoriety Of being singu-
lar. In his reading he had seen the say
ing when in Rome do as Rome does"
and in order to comply with this time
honored preoept joined the great majority
and got as far from the glass windows Of
the coach as its construction would per-
nit. No other shots were fired and by
the time Rocky Ford was reached the
agitated travellers had regained their
wonted composure. The shot was prob-
ably fired by some fool boy as prank.
