MUST THERE BE A STRIKE?

From the Bessen1er Weekly.
The paramount important pending mat
ter today-the one whose proper solution
is the closest intertwined with continued
prosperity and good times in this imme-
date district is the settlement of the
scale of wages between the coal miners
and operators. At this time they are at
directly cross purposes. The operators
peremptorily decline to accept the min
ers' scale is the very best they can con-
cede, and the miners respond unless their
scale is accepted they will strike The
joint scale committee have returned de-
spairingly to session to see If either side
will yield at all. The consequence of a
strike at this time will hurt and hurt
badly all around. Most disastrously it
will hurt the miners. then the business
interests of the city and least of all will 1t
hurt the operators. There is no reason
on earth why the operators cannot con-
cede the bi-weekly pay day, nor the
eight hour work day. We do not know
so much about the proper price for min
ing coal-whether the present scale is am
pie or not We do know and believe that
wages now should be liberal; that the
miner should share properly in the pre-
yailing prosperity. 1t looks doubtful now
about an agreement without a strike or
cessation of labor. Neither side offers
any concession. The matter will probably
linger on without settlement for weeks
All of which will be unfortunate to all
interests.

INVESTIGATING THE PANAMA
Information About the Hat from :
Work on Basketry.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In the work that he just completed on
basketry, Prof Otis T. Mason discov-
cred that the finest example of weaving
in the world is the Panama hat These
hats are made In the city Of Jipijapa
pronounced hippyhappy), in the prov
ince of Homie Cristi, Ecuador, and the
industry constitutes one OF the greatest
resources of that republic. The reason
why this hat is known to Europeans,
Americans and foreigners in general un-
der the name of Panama" is owing to
the fact that for nearly two centuries
these hats have reached the markets
of the outside world through the port
of Panama, on the isthmus of Darien,
the great distributing center for the pro-
can countries. The correct name is,
therefore. the 'Jipijapa hat"
The toquilla, or leaf, of small plant is
used FOR this purpose. 1t grows abun-
dainty all through Ecuador, the leaves
coming up in the shape OF a fan. The
technical name for the plant Is "carludo-
yica palmata,' and it Is this plant that
furnishes the materia, for making the
Jirijapa hat There are Jirijapa hats of
ell qualities from these costing q saw
cents up to those which are worth $s5.
The merit of these list (really mnrvels
of hnenefs) consists as much in the
scarcity If the toquilla straw as in the
difficulty of the weaving, and, therefore,
it Is exceptional to find these hats on
The general market. The hats of cur
rent sale cost from few centsup to S25
and S35, while those very fine ones have
been known to fetch as high as $s5.
In buying a Panama, or, more prop
erly speaking, Jipijapa, hat 1t is nee
essary to ascertain two things-that the
toquilla straw is whole and that 1t Is
not stiffened. 1t is not easy 10 recognize
this first condition. In order to make
two from one the professional hat wea-
yer of the city OF Jipijaja split the to-
quilla straw with such perfection that
unless person is accustomed to such ex-
animation 1t is almost impossible for
him to distinguish the difference. The
second condition is easily recognized. for
the poorer grade OF hats are stiffened to
mako the straw firmer and white. Good
toquilal straw ir white and stiff enough
not to need any gum and only the or
binary Panama hats are stiffened. Prof.
Mason Is anxious to find out who owns
the finest Panama hat in Washington
and the number of checks or mcshes 1t
has to the square inch. Anyone having
or owning one of these hats will confer
favor on Prof. Mason, and at the same
tine promote scientific research by poti-
flying him or sending the hat to his Of
flee in the national museum for a few
days for inspection.

NATIONS LAWMAKERS
AND TRAIN ROBBERS

BY Hon. Ariosto A. Wiley. Representa-
tive from Alabama. In the washing
ton Times.
It cannot be denied that train robbing
and wrecking. oftimes accompanied by
loss of life, have become so alarmlngIy
frequent In this country within the past
ten years that the grave and serious
problem now confronts us: What is the
most efficacious method of stopping this
crime7 The arDing of train crews and
the use of railway and express companies
of so-calied ourglar-pvoof cars and safes
have all proven of but little value or
pot ncy either as n means of prevention
or suppression. It is manifest, therefore,
that the most simple and effective way
of resisting and checking, If not prevent
ing. this growing evil is TO have national
legislation enacted on the subject.
The people throughout the whole coun-
try have become alarmed and aroused.
They realize the fact that the state tri-
bunals as a general proposition are pow
erless either to prevent or punish these
robberies. 1t VIII require national legis-
lation to have a deterrant effect or in
fiuence on this diaooiical class of GRIM
inals. Prosecution of these outlaws in the
United States courts, with the compre-
hensive and powerful machinery of tho
government behind them. will strike them
with terror and do much toward the ae-
coSnplishment OF purpose SO ardentiy
desired by the law-ahidlng and peace
loving people OF the American Union.
