AS early as the date referred to, a
syndicate of coal operators, or trust,
which ever you please to term it, had
been organized in this district. Their
principal aim, as time demonstrated,
was to reduce wages and, if possible,
destroy the very efficient organization
we had in Hooking Valley. The min
ers were well organized. AS soon as
the syndicate members were informed
by their agents that they were in
good shape for the contest the misguid-
ed ones in charge began to put in their
work.
1t was announced in the most plaus-
ible manner that there was no inten-
ton of lowering the price of mining
only day wages were too high.
| Up to this time we had been unable
to persuade the day laborers that it
was to their interest to join our union.
A short contest, however in which the
syndicate had the upper hand, con-
WINGED the day laborers that their in
| terests were identical with those of
/ the miners.
Flushed with easy success in reduc-
ing day wages the syndicate's next
move was to lower the price of mining
10 cents per ton. Before doing so,
however, they added strength to their
| fertilization by getting the railroad
company to indorse their plans.
Through carefully arranged lack of
trade at some of the mines hundreds
of miners We're reduced to state of
poverty and distress almost unknown
before in any part of the district. So
much so that company stores were en-
tered and flour demanded for the min
ers' families to live upon
This was the awful condition before
the Hooking Valley struggle really be
gan.
A syndicate said to have S2,000,0 0C
and railroad company on one side
and 900 half-starved mine-workers or
the other.
For nine months the contest was
waged and was intensely bitter Pink
erton guards and the scum OF the
country filled the district from one enc
to the other.
Words fail to picture the distress
and suffering which the miners and
their families endured. They were
fighting for the principle of unionisn
and the preservation Of their homes.
So plucky and determined was thei
resistance to the attempt of the syndi
cate to crush unions and cut wages
that the employers concluded that i
was unwise to attempt such highland
ed methods.
} AS have said, a year after the clos
of this memorable strike the syndicate
was quite as anxious as the men tt
find some peaceful method of avoiding
strikes and lockouts. Thus, seventeen
years ago, we had practical demon
, stration of the fact that thorough or
ganization on both sides is goo,
) basis for Cancellation and arbitration

I am equal to anything that will
make Janetta we'll" Clarice had re-
piled. And the Doctor went on This
way, greatly wondering.
After all Clarice's Improvement in
health was only the fulflllment Of his
own prediction. The shock which babe
fair to wreck Janetta's life, or deprive
her OF reason, had helped her friend
TO the better exercise of both. The
need for exertion had come, and In her
devotion to Janetta, Clarice had laid
aside her own weakness.

mental shock she had undergone; and
Clarlce, in her loving care and watch
fulness, had cast aside the last traces

reward for an hours amusing chatter.

pathos about the curves of the mouth

The losses by electric fires alone
have averaged over a million dollars
month. These losses have become so
serious that the accident, life, and fire
insurance companies are considering
the advisability Of taking united action
against them. The insurance rate in
these companies was fixed before the
great and increasing use of electricity
and the electrical risk was not figured
in, SO that the rates are upset and re-

fewer fires and not so many electrocu-
