Why There Was Nothing to Arbitrate
(Peoria Jousnal.)

(PeOria JouTnal)
1t is easy now to understand why the
presidents of the coal roads coptende6
that they had nothing to arbitrate, anG
held out against making an arbitration
commission.
The things that have been developed sc
far are:
The miners are poorly paid
The work in which they are engaged is
unhealthful.
They are cheated in the weights.
They are robbed in the company
stores.
They are compelled to pay excessive
prices for the materials necessary tc
carry on mining
The coal roads are largely the coal mine
owners, their roads are the only ones
reaching the anthracite mines, and there
is no competition in carrying the pro-
duct
Practically the roads can charge what
they please for hauls.
The Independent operators who are at
the mercy of the railroad mine owners
some years ago built road to reach
their mines, but it was bought up by
the coal road mine owners at large in
crease over the cost, and the independent
operators were again at the mercy OF
their rich rivals.
1t is easy now, in the light of events
following the partial investigation that
has been made, to understand why the
millionaire mine and railroad owners OBJ
Jected to investigation and were SO bit
terly opposed to arbitration
They had everything to lose by such a
course, and they could not expect, under
the circumstances, to gain anything by
publicity and probing.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE DELUaON.

It is claimed that Mrs. Eddy, the
head of the Christian Science
church, has issued an order that the
teachers or "healers," must hereaf-
ter abstain from treating persons
suffering from any contagious di.
sease, A great many lives have
been sacrificed because of the pre-
tense OF the healers that they have
the power to cure all disorders, and
1t Is not true that only fools can
we'll be spared are the victims
Many grown persons who were
leading useful lives have fallen I'M.
der the Christian Science delusion,
and have refused the medical aid
that might have saved the lives of
innocent sick children who died In
consequence This fact has aroused
so much Ill feeling Against the
Eddy organization, which, If 1t con-
fined Its healing operations to the
soothing away of simple headaches
and ailments that cure themselves,
would escape general criticism and
keep Its agents out of the clutches
of the law.
