I EFT Us TALK TOGETHER for a

human characteristic that Is the cause
OF a great deal of human suffering.
Yesterdays Herald told about a man
who found two people shooting prairie
chickens In his field. They had killed
two. of the value of perhaps 50 cents,
when he came mp. Straightway the
man shot both hunters, wounding one
OF them fatally. Then he went home
and killed himself.

THE BIRMINGHAM PANIC.

LEW HUMAN EMOTIONS are so
easily communicable as the sensa-
ton Of fear, the fear of physical harm.
This fact was demonstrated at Biz
minghsm, Ala, Friday night. when lis
negroes we're crushed to death and
scores more injured in an effort to es-
cape from a building in which there
was absolutely not the slightest danger
TO any member Of the audience. A ma
tonal convention Of negro Baptists was
in session, and the church in which the
meetings were being held was packed
by a multitude that came to hear an
address by Booker T. Washington.
The famous negro had finished his re-
marks when two delegates in the rear

THE ARBITRATION PLANK.
THE HERALD believes that the nla.

THE HERALD believes that the plank
adopted by the Provo convention
on the subject OF arbitration OF labor
difficulties will be endorsed by all
friends of labor throughout the state.
1t is a clear-cut declaration in favor OF
compulsory arbitration. The plank
says: I'VE believe in the organization
I OF labor fer the protection of It's rights
and advocate the adjudication of all
differences between labor and capital
by non-partisan board of arbitration.
whose decisions shall be enforced by
the national government"
At no time in the history of the coun-
try has the necessity for compulsory
arbitration been so apparent as 1t is
today. The long continuance of the
coal strike is an unanswerable argu-
ment for such a law Yesterday marked
the close OF the nineteenth week of the
struggle between the PENNSYLVANIA
miners and the anthracite coal trust.
For days there has been more or less
talk of settlement, but it seems far
distant still when judged by surface
indications.
When the strike began the miners.
sure in the belief that their cause was
just, offered TO submit their claims to
board of arbitration for adjustment.
They announced that. though the de-
cision might be against them, they
would cheerfuliy accept it and wait I'M
I'll the time for securing their rights
was more opportune. The coal trust
representatives absolutely refused to
consider arbitration for a moment and
the strike has been in progress ever
since.
The cost of the battle between organ
lied labor and organized capital has
been appalling. At the end of the
eighteenth week a competent authority
estimated the total at SIP. 420. 600. Such
a sum Of money is beyond the average
comprehension. And every dollar of it
has been worse than wasted, Think OF
the thousands of homes that could have
been made happy with an infnitesimal
portion of that money allotted to each!
Think of the bread it might have fur
nished to starving children. the fires
it might have lighted in kitchen stoves
that are cold now.
According to the estimate the heavi-
est burden of the strike has been borne
by the coal barons, but they can afford
to lose thousands of dollars where the
men cannot afford TO lose cents. II is
said that they are cut $43. 200. 900. The
other figures are: Strikers, in wages,
$24. 200, 900; employees other than strikers,
$500. O00: railroads. in earnings, slO,-
900 900; business men in and out of the
region. $2l, 100000 cost of maintaining
coal and iron police, 81, 900, 900: cost of
maintaining non-union workmen, S445,
600; cost of keeping troops in the field.
S275.0OO; damage TO mines and machin-
cry, $6,5OO, 900.
Leaving small fractions out of the
computation, the anthracite strike is
costing s6,245,555 a week, $685., 222 a day,
$S7 175 an hour. Ss19 a minute and about
SO a second. In the light of these fig
ures is it surprising that the demand
for compulsory arbitration is growing
at a rapid rate?

THE DAY IN MERRY ENGLAND.
Royal Gathering at Sandringham-Scenes m
London

London. Dec 25.-King Edward and Queen
Alexandra spent the day at Sandringham. this
being the first Christmas their majesties have
spent at their favorite residence since their ac-
cession.
The royal family. including the Prince or
Wales Princess Victoria. the Duchess of Fife
and Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark,
attended an early service at Sandringham
Church. which was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. The King afterward personally
directed the annual distribution of beef and
game in which every employe and tenant on the
Sandringham estate always participates.
London and the South of England generally
enfoyed an unusually clear and cold Christmas.
In spite of the low temperature. there was the
usual gathering in Battersea Park. where TWEEN
ty men who take their open air early morning
dip all the year round had their Christmas swim
in the lake Silver medals were presented to
seven among the bathers who had not missed
single day during the previous year The pre-
vaing distress among the unemployed brought
forth an unusual number of charitable dinners
in all sections of London. especially in the East
End.
A severe gale swept the north coast of Great
Rritain to-day and caused considerable damage
to shipping and water front property on the
CLYDE and the Tyne.

attacking two Of the guests Although he in

He was finally subdued by House Detectives
Kennedy and Smith and two porters. who. with
the aid of Patrolman Curran, of the West Thir-
tieth-st. station. succeeded in getting him into a
patrol wagon. He was taken to the West Thir-
tieth-st. station. There he refused to give his
name, and acted so queerly that he sent to
Bellevue and placed in the insane pavilion.
According to the house detectives the man
first stroed up and down the north corridor
of the hotel for about five minutes with his
hands behind his back and his head bowed
on his breast. Then he walked into the
red sitting room and seated himself The man S
actions had been watched by two bellboys. and
one of them followed him. He said that the
man placed his hat on another chair and then
gesticulated wildly. Suddenly the man jumped

sat down. This he repeated several times, NUT

mans actions at the office and he was sent in
search of the house detectives. Soon after the

face, shouting:

dinner The encroachments Of organized capital
on the poor of the country have driven me from
pillar TO post until l cannot get work. What
right have you to eat when I am starving?'

preached her and after snatching fur boa
from around her neck, began to abuse her in
the same manner that he had the man. The
woman screamed, but further trouble was pre-
vented by the appearance of the detectives.
