ward he managed to train his left. But
there are persons who could not do this
owing to the unequal strength of their
eyes.-Chambers' Journal.

Denounces Labor's Position

The company denounces as "arbi-
trary. unreasonable and unj Just" the
demand for 20 per cent increase in
the wages and for the reduction of 20
per cent in the hours without reduc-
tion of pay" and says: Because of
the injury to the mines by the strike
the cost of producing coal has been
greatly increased and the temporary
advance in prices which was made by
this company it will be impracticable
to continue when the mining opera
tiOns become normal
Bear says since the admission of
the Mine Workers organization into
the anthracite fields business condi-
tions there have been intolerable; the
output of the mines has decreased
and discipline has been destroyed:
strikes have been almost of daily oc-
currence; men have worked when and
as they pleased, and the cost of min
ing has been greatly increased.
lie takes the position that the jur-
isdiction of the commission is limited
to the condition named by the coal
company presidents which excludes
the United Mine Workers from any
recognition in the proceedings.

Hours and Pay of Clerks.

The advisability of erecting public
buildings for the establishment of
branch postofices in cities is discussed,
and the plan is indorsed as economical
to the government. The report says
the establishment and extension of
pneumatic tube service will make it
necessary to secure permanent sites
for stations in the larger cities. An eff
fort has been made to equalize the sal
aries of clerks in first and second class
postofiices bypromotiOno of low salaried
but efficient clerks. At the larger first
class offices clerks are not now work
ing in excess of eight hours day, but
it is impraticable in existing conditions
TO give clerks in the smaller offices
eight hours continuous service. An
effort is being made to reduce their
hours to Il fair basis

A PISTOL JAW

CHARLESTON, 5. c., July AS a
means Of lessening the amount OF
shooting i'm this State, the Legislature
has enacted law which prohibits the
manufacture or sale of pistols less than
twenty inches long and Weighing less
than three pounds The law Went into
effect this week, and the surplus stock
of small firearms has been Withdrawn
from sale by dealers. The father of
the bill said it would put a check on
the concealed weapon habit, and it un-
doubleday would provided no other PTS
tolls could be purchased. Local manu-
facturers say that a weapon of the re-
quired length will weigh more than
four pounds.
when the lawmakers We're framing
this bin" said one manufacturer, they
evidently overlooked the fact that a
weapon of this kind could not be fired
without risk to the man holding il. The
rebound win paralyZe a man of aver
age strength, and ii has been shown
that it would be as harmful to the man
firing as to the man at whom the bar
rel was pointed. Workmanship would
not figure, as it would be out of the
question for a person TO hold the gun
in one hand and fire with any hope Of
hitting the bulls eye"

Penrose on Friday is said to have for
its purpose the establishment of new

said to be direct attack on the West

pears that all the great interests of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, Morgan and
the Vanderbilts will be arrayed against
the Western Union, which however,
will have the support of Gould, Harli-
man and Carnegie. The raid on the
Western Union is simply blow
against Gould's pet scheme of bringing
his Wabash line to tidewater and
thereby commanding 100000 tons Of
freight yearly from the United States
steel Corporation.
The deal between the Postal Tale
graph Gable Company and the Penn
syIvania Railroad Company has been
definitely settled and the contract
dates from July LIST, as announced, al
though the document has not been ac-
tually signed. All agree that the West
ern Union will be ousted from every
foot of roadway owned or controlled
by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

David b. Hill, Grover Cleveland and

This information was gained today
from Democratic politician of the

A RULE OF BALLOT
BOX SUFFERS

1t is difficult for people residing in
law abiding community like Canon
City to appreciate, believe or half
comprehend the terrible crimes that
were committed in Denver in the re-
cent election.
What would you think If on the
night Of election the judges. all being
of one party in a Canon City pre-
cinct. had fired out all the watchers
darkened the room. emptied the ballot
box in the stove. written up new
set of ballots giving 535 straight votes
to one party and ten straight votes to
another?
How would you like to see on cleo
tion day Canon City policeman in
rig with dozen drunken brutes drive
up to the first ward polls and vote
them all; then go to the second and
third ward polls voting at each; then
to South Canon and Lincoln Park
How much .forgiving spirit would
you have remaining in your soul If
you went to the polls to vote, but
were gruffiy told by blear eyed
judge that someone had already voted
on your name and that you could not
vote?
II you had any left you might re-
main near the polls and see dozen
other honest citizens turned away in
the same manner.
How much respect would you have
for your government If you examined
the poll books and found that from
your little home. when you positively
knew only two or three people could
