UNITED MINE WORKERS

Gov. Peabody has strongly advised
the mine owners in the Cripple Creek.
district to make terms with the union
miners who have been on strike since
last August. He said today: II think
have done my duty in bringing about
law and order in the district, and now
1 will take the burden from my shoul-
ders; and place it on yours. In doing
this I would suggest that the olive
branch, the hand of friendship, should
be extended to the striking miners and
that harmony between the employer
and the enlploye should be brought
about"
A number of organizers and speakers
Of the United Mine Workers in the an
tharcite region are in the coal fields
Of Western Pennsylvania, where they
have been ordered to aid in the organ
iZation of the bituminous workers. A
strike is anticipated in that region, ow-

or where it is all going to end no man

Another serious problem of city life
is that Of unhealthy amusement. The

what is being done to meet these pro-

The model tenement Is one factor for

For no more rent than is paid for a
ramshackle tenement, working people
are living in healthy apartments.
Breathing spots in parks and recreation
piers on the river front bring new life
to tired mothers and children. The
social settlement is proving to be a
blessing in nearly every city in the
land.
Missions are esta blished in needy
parts Of the city, and while not ideal in
many respects, they are, nevertheless,
doing good in some direction. The
Sunday school, conducted with wisdom
and enthusiasm, is a greater factor for
good than many people imagine. Evan

it provides such facilities in the church.
The people know little of legitimate

OF the church. There are libraries,
