MINING SITUATION
FREELY DISCUSSED
CHARLES DENEGRE WRITES AS A
FRIEND OF ORGANIZED LABOR
ON PRESENT WAGE SCALE.
CRISIS IN THIS DISTRICT.

Charles Denegre, the we'll known law
yer, contributes the following letter:
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
We beg leave to- impose upon the good
a few words upon the mining situation.
Now that the national financial atmos-
phere has been made clear by the mas
terly touch of Judge Parkers pen, and
the capital interests have a fair and UNI
INSTRUCTED view of the political horizon,
the thing next most desired for the pros
perity of our own district is an adjust
ment of differences between the minters
and operators.
At the offset we wish to have 1t under
stood that we are firm believers in united
labor Were 1t not for the combinations
between the laborers of this country they
would be ground down to starvation for
the purpose of putting gold In the pocx-
cts of large corporations. But on the
other hand unions are often unreasonable.
The present demands of the miners of our
district furnish an example of this sort.
They know full well that the financial
interests composing the operators are In
the business for the money there is In
It without any special love for the Biz
mingham district That being the case.
whenever the business fails to pay divi-
dends the financial backing will with
draw.
! If the pay for mining coal is based upon
the price of iron, the miners as reason
able men cannot expect as much for their
labor in the coming year as they received
in the past, when the price of iron Is
just about half what 1t was a year ago,
to say nothing of what the future m1y
show. II scale is signed now to meet
the full demands of the miners, and iron
should fall within the next six months to
an abnormally low price-what would
be the result? The operators would have
to shut down, and the miners would nave
to sit down.
1t is our purpose to advocate the ac-
ceptance of the operators offer as 1t
stands. But, being Interested in the well
fare of our great district, we think rea-
sonable men on both sides should look
the conditions square in the face without
any disguise, bullyism or bluff, bearing
in mind that both sides are in the busi-
ness for the money they get out of it.
and with these views settle their differ
ences on an honorable and equitable
basis.

RUSSIANS CRITICISE
VICKSBURGS CAPTAIN

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. H.-The actions
of the commander of the United States gun
boat Vicksburg in declining to join the COM
manders of other foreign warships in pro-
testing against the attack of the Japanese
fleet at Chemulpo, which resulted in the
sinking of the Russian cruisers Variag and
Korietz, promises to cause much discussion
here.
The Novoe Vremya's London correspond
ent cables that the protest of the British
captain against the Japanese attack on
the ground that it was a breach OF neu-
trality proved Intellectual, because the
American commander would not assent
Newspapers here lay great stress on the
personal note of Mr.. Kurino, the Japanese
minister at ST. Petersburg, to Count Lams-
dorff, the Russian foreign minister, on the
occasion of the notification Of the sever
ance of diplomatic relations in which Mr..
Kurino expressed the hope that the rup-
ture would be of brief duration. They point
to this incident as a proof that Russia had
no reason TO believe that Japan intended
to follow up the rupture with actual hos
tilities.
Official news received here confirms the
report that none of the crew of the KorietZ
was lost
An immense congregation attended the
requiem mass to-day for Count Nirod, the
only officer killed aboard the Variag. The
count was great favorite in st. Peters
burg society.

TO UNFURL PORTE'S FLAG

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. H.-The cruiser
Medjidie, built for the imperial Ottoman
navy at Cramps, is under hurry orders to
get home. She will leave here on March
and will carry her own flag. 1t had been
intended to take the vessel to CONSTANT

was found necessary, and the ship will be
put in commission and unfurl her flag at
this port.
Capt. Ransford B. Bucknam, of Cramps

Ottoman navy. and will put her in commits
sion. 1t will also be necessary to commits
sion the other officers.
The Medjidie will leave port fully ready
for a naval engagement. Her guns, all of
the latest pattern in use in the United
States navy, were made in Bethlehem, Pa
All are practically in place. The magazines
are to be filled with ammunition as if for
war cruise. AS soon as the cruiser
reaches the sea- the trial of her guns will
be begun. This will be made particularly
thorough.

builders have been charged to deliver the
ship only two stops will be made on the
long run to ConstantinOple. The trip will

CLUB LIFE IS CALLED A
MENACE TO THE FAMILY
Minister Pleads for Children, Who,
He Says, Are Neglected
by Parents.
SCORES HOME-BREAKERS

'The club life of to-day is a menace to
the home is the opinion held by the Rev.
DR.. NJ. b. Hyde. He also asserts that the
wife has the same rights as the husband to
such life. which fact greatly depreciates
the value of clubs TO either the husband or
wife, because of a tendency TO concentrate
their interests in the club, while the inter-
ssts of their children, he says, are sacri-
feed.
1.-The family is menaced by the club life
yesterday morning. I'VE fear in some in
stances the heart centers in the club. and
the home feeling diminishes. II the hus-
band must have a club, why not the wife?
1t Is safe to say that the domestic virtues
exist ia inverse ratio to the number of
clubs in any given community.
Eat bottom, in the average family" he
said, love is not wanting, but judgment
is seriously at fault Does 1t not seem the
policy Of the average family to place the
stress Of effort for the children upon the
period of their maturity Again IL is GER
tainly a matter of proper concern how to
provide for the children In the matter of
worldly goods. but If the stress IS placed
on this the probability is that the moral
culture OF the child will be neglected. The
basis of all interest for child culture lies
in the Judgment of spiritual truths. that
looks to the push OF the godward instincts
OF the child.
prevention is the word and if ii is fol-
lowed no reform will be needed. The child
should have a training that involves
growth. and that is bound up with the very
trend TO thought and action This train
ing should be along three lines-by the par
emit in the home, in the church and in the
state"
