Why the Bosses are Scared.

The fight between the steel trust
and labor unionism last year was pre-
cisely the same in principle as the
contest between the coal trust and la
Dor unionism now. The steel trust
was the victor, the labor union was
crushed, and Mark Hanna said then
as now, 'let we'll enough alone" The
coal trust is no worse than the steel
trust, but the people are out OF coal.
the price has gone skyward and cold
winter is coming on. Consequently
voters by thousands are revolving
against trust rule, and are refusing to
stand pat" and 'let we'll enough
alone" any longer. They propose to
disobey Mark and other bosses this
time by smashing the trusts at the
ballot box. Hence this terrible fright
of Republican leaders-this is why
they are trembling in their boots

WOMEN NURSES
Recommended for Navy by Dr..
Rixsy In First Annual
Report.

Washington, Oct. 16. - The first an
nual report of Surgeon General Rfxey
shows that the health of the navy and
marine corps is good. He recommends
ed that congress provide for atwoman
nurse corps for the navy, to consist of
one superintendent Nurse eight head
nurses, ten first class and twaIity-four
second class nurses, these numbers to
be increased at the discretion Of the
secretary. The surgeon general says:
That women are the superior of
men for the work of nursing there
can be no question and the objection
that they are not compatible with mil
itary conditions can scarcely apply to
the institutions of the character of our
large naval hospital"
The surgeon general also makes
strong plea for the appointment of
dentists for the navy. He submits q
recommendation for the appointment

1t is really too good to be true, but
the head lines cannot lie. The great
strike is settled at last and the miners
are to resume work at once. At the
last moment Mitchell mas waived his
demand for recognition of the union
and has accepted the arbitration terms
of the operators with sngnt modifica-
tiOn. There is a chance that the un-
ion may oyerrule the decision Of its
president, but the chance is a small
one. The men are for TIE most part
anxious to return to work upon al
most any terms The personnel Of the
commission indicates that the ques-
tions involved will have fair and
impartial hearing and it is probable
that the miners will win many of the
concessions for which they have
fonght.

The Columbus Citizen publishes
some interviews with the members of

now stands and among these are ut.
terances by Stark counry-s represen-
tatives, Messrs. Pollock and Metzger.
Both are opposed to the bill and will
In all probability vote against it un-
less whipped into line by the Nash
influence. AS both are on their Sec
ond terms and are rather inclined to
be independent it is not thought the
party lash will affect them very much.
In the interview published, Pollock
said: "It ought never to pass. My
people are all against it." Metzger
was even more emphatic, and said:
'It is an outrage and there will be o
day of accounting if this thing is
made law. The people won't stand
It." With such feeling among the
Republicans and with the solid oppo-
sition Of the Democracy, there seems
to be little chance of the monstrosity
ever getting on the statute books.

One of the alleged good effects Of

who would be their auxiliaries in
their scheme of deducing the cost of
production. The reluctance exhibited
by ]. p. Morgan to interfere to bring
