In determining what constitutes
fair wages the dangers connected
with the nature of the work should
be taken in consideration.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-07-31

The fallacy OF the plea OF the
operators for raising the price o.
coal and at the same time refusing
an increase OF the wages OF the
miner, is thoroughly exposed by
Mr.. Mitchell. The plea is the in
crease in cost of transportation. To
show the fallacy of this he points
out that from S5 to 80 per cent of
all coal produced in the anthracite
region is from mines owned and
operated by the various coal carry
ing railroads. These coal owners,
acting as railroad managers, charge
themselves extortionate prices for
hauling their own coal, and then
acting as coal operators, they offer
to chow their books and prove by
the figures that they carnot afford
TO increase the wages OF the miners.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-07-31

By this double headed scheme
the coal owners could justify o
DECREASE in the wages Of The miners.
The process is exceedingly simple;
all they have to do is to charge
themselves more for hauling their
own coal to the market. In this
way they are able to rob the miner
at one end OF their coal transactions
and the consumer at the other.
Another point OF Mr.. Mitchell's
statement is where he points cut
the dangers to which miners are
exposed. 1t is startling revela-
tion. His figures show that for
every day that the mines are in
operation two men are killed and
five are injured. In the year 1901
there were 4Sl fatal accidents and
1856 non fatal ones. What is to
become of the widows and orphans
OF thege killed miners?

A Deathbea Celebration.

BERLIN, June 1S.-Iling Albert of Saxony, who has been critically ill si some time past, and Queen Karola vii observe the forty-ninth anniversary of their wedding today under the certain ty that the end of the king is near at hand. The married life of King Albert and Queen Karola has been noted for the especial devotion of the royal cou- pie Upon previous occasions their wedding day, after the early morning congratulations of the royal associates, has always been celebrated alone. King Albert, in anticipation of his death, has caused the state ordinances which regulate mourning in case of his demise to be changed so that they en- tail fewer restrictions upon the amuse- ments of the public and to eliminate number of court observances.

 Botanical Ramble Yesterday.
 Mrs r. M. Packard read q paper last evening on .sThe Divining Rod' which proved of unusual interest The. gathering together of authentic mat ter on this subject was a somewhat difficult task. People of the present time are prone to be skeptical as to the possibility of finding water minerals, etc, by such methods. But the paper stated that the power of the divining rod had been used during the last twenty years effectively. At the present time the French are making a thorough investigation of the matter, with desire to prove definitely and how much importance and reliance can be placed in it's power.
 MT Hangar, the state botanist, sent invitations to the Waterbury natural ists to attend botanical ramble at Lighthouse Point, New Haven. There were twenty-seven present at the out ing, which took place yesterday. Wa terbury was well represented by nine. A pleasant day was enjoyed and a good number of specimens were on hand last night as a result. MT and Mrs Lyman gave descriptive account of the work done. There was also good number of local specimens on view. At the meeting next Tuesday there will be a small exhibit of in sects.

MAMMOTH MARKET TROUBLES
Two Attachments Placed on the Store
 by Deputy Sheriff To-day.


 by Deputy Sheriff To-day.
 The Mammoth market on Bank street was closed by two attachments this noon, served by Deputy Sheriff Spencer of Seymour, in the interests of S. ID. Chamberlain of Hartford and the Do mestic Pie Baking Go of this city. The first attachment was for S15O and the second for $500. The first had no soon- CT been put on than word reached the Domestic Pie Baking Go and they inn mediately clapped on the second, fear ing other creditors would get before them and thereby lessen their chances of recovering their claim. Possession was immediately taken by the sheriff The clerks were informed they could no longer work there, for the present at all events, and they were preparing to leave when Michael Guilfoile, local rep resentative of the Cudahy Packing Co., entered. It seems he also had heard of the concerns difficulties, and when informed of the condition of things he left with the presumtion that he would enter a claim for his concern.
 Attorney J. J. O'Neill represents the Chamberlain Go and the Domestic Pie Go.
 The Mammoth market is owned by a W. l.. White of Worcester. He has a number of similar stores in several states. The store was an innovation in it's line Tn this city and employed a force of twenty clerks.

Waller Gave No Interview.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-As has been the custom in the case of every officer of the navy to whom have been attributed utterances which the navy department considered outside the pale of professional discretion, Major Waller of the marine corps, who re- gently returned from the Philippines, has received an inquiry from the sec retary of the navy as to whether the published statements concerning the campaign in Samar were authorized by him. Major Waller has replied that when pressed for interviews by press representatives he declined to oblige them. This explanation, it is under stood, is satisfactory to the officials. and it is stated at the navy depart ment that the case is regarded as closed.

When they reached the third pier of the bridge on the Quebec side, where the water runs swift and deep, they stepped from the bridge on to the pier and made q plunge into the stream. Workmen engaged among the logs near the shore saw them float down stream and over the Chaudierre falls. The two men were evidently strangers. The bodies have not been found.

We do not purpose to defend Governor
Davis. His official action Is his own at
fair, IL his State does not object. We
simply want to make the point that The
Advertiser and The Press do not believe
the proteststions of Massachusetts, that,
all the negro needs to make him
good and elevated is to have fair
chance. If these good papers believe that.
they would have more liberation for Gov
ernor Davis's idea of putting the reform
ers of Massachusetts to the test, with
actual Observation-Disclosures Lodges.
The Advertiser has no disposition or in
clination to defend the Massachusetts
people for their love for the negro: or.
rather. their pretended love. We should
be pleased for them to get thorough
dose of him. nor should we grieve If they
could absorb some of the worst members
of the race. We do content, though. that
the act of Governor Davis was malicious
and undignified, and that no good could
result from 1t. 1t is the South and the
Democrats of the South for whom we
are concerned, not Massachusetts,.

RoosEvELT's DISCRIMINATION
His Antitrust Operations Are
Spectacular.

Information comes from Washington
that the close friends of the President
have found 1t wise to say that he has
no intention of engaging in an indiscrim-
mate war against trusts. He is discrim-
mating. and intends to be discriminate
ing.
The reason why it is wise to say this
Is not far to seek.
Information from the same source is
that 1t would be easy to proceed against
the Standard Oil Company, the sugar
trust, the coal trusts. the steel trust and
SO on. But the President does not pro-
pose to move Immediately on their works
He is only after the trust sinners which
are particularly offensive to the people.
He is not prosecuting the saint trusts.
We have to learn from this outgiving
that the President does not regard as
offensive to the people a trust which
does nothing worse than sell it's products
to foreigners from 20 to so per cent.
cheaper than to Americans-the steel
trust. for instance
The books of the Republican campaign
committees, If thew are not kept in ci-
pher,. would undoubtedly disclose the
saints.
The names of the representatives of
the sanity trusts are therein written in
letters of gold. A discriminating Re-
publican President with aspira tions will
carefully abstain from doing things Of
fensive to these saints.
Likewise such a President will abstain
from doing things calculated to ahenate
inscribed in those books in golden letters
so long Is there is a chance that by a
little judicious pressure they can be in
duced to come forward and read their
title clear to immunity after the manner
of the saints
This is delicately intimated in a state
ment from the same administration
source that these injunction proceedings
If entirely successful, would merely pave
the way for some other step The beef
| trust could dissolve today, 1t is said. and
| upon its reorganization new Injunction
suits would have to be brought"
The same is true of the merger case"
| 1t is added that the parties to the big
railroad deal are not going to fight the
government. but only to stand il off I'M
| til they close up some big Wall Street
deals, when the merger will be dissolv-
| ed and a new corporation organized
| which will be skllfully put outside the
| pale of the antitrust law"
Just at this point attention is called
| to the fact that no step has been taken
| looking TO a criminal prosecution of the
| packers of the trust.
TINS certainly does not look like m
| discriminate war on trusts. 1t looks
very discreetly discriminating. 1t plainly
suggests the reason why the close

| course as will indicate to the defend

ers' masses an easy, If somewhat eNpen-

A MISTAKEN PRESS.

The Philadelphia Press thinks it has
made a point on the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs when it says:
One phase of the matter which may
cause the opponents of the admission of
colored clubs into the Federation some
trouble is the situation in the Indian
Territory. 1t is asserted that in both Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory educated In
diSn women are not only members OF
clubs belonging to the Women's Fedora
ton, but often preside and hold offices.
And If Indian women are admitted with
out protest, the color line will be broken
ard any attempt to draw 1t against the
negro race must prove useless.
That kind of argument sounds absurd
to Southern people and none of them
would use it. There is no more prejudice
in the South against the descendants of
Indians than against any other race ex-
cept the negro race. There are now In
Alabama many persons with Indian blood
in their veins, but there is no shadow OF
prejudice against them. Some of the
most prominent families in the State are
one-fourth or one-eighth Indian. and nc
citizens. stand higher than they, or are
more thoroughly respected
The Press need only travel few hours
on a train to reach the town of Carlisle
in its own State, where there are edu-
Gated. cultivated and refined indians OF
both sexes, who are fit to associate with
anybody. Ovef in Indian Territory viii

Creeks, Cherokees ana Choctaws. who are
as thoroughly respectable and refined
citizens as any of the whites are. In
| fact, from Virginia, where descendants OF
Pocahontas are still to be found, to the
| Pacific coast, there are people with In
| dian blood in their veins. and so far from
being ashamed of it, they are proud OF
| the fact, and no pure-blood Caucasian
would think of ostracising them on that
| account.
So far as we know or have ever heard oil
read, no white people have ever beer
| known to claim descent from a negro OIL
| to boast of it. When God drew the line
between the white and the black races
He made it plain and permanent. The
