Appliance for Locomotives.

Recently compiled statistics show
that the loss of life and also the num-
Der of persons injured through col
nsions on railroads is greater In COM
parison than from any other cause.
The desire of the officials of the larger
railroad lines to establish records for
high speed, whether for long or short
distances, is primarily the cause OF
these accidents and the consequent
loss of life. Safety Is sacrificed for
speed, as the breaking Of a record
means a good advertisement for that
particular road. or course, all rail-
roads have specific rules to cover any
possible chance of accident, but to
break records and arrive at the des-
tination on schedule time 1t often de-

Cotton from Pine Wood.

Recent experiments have been made
in Bavaria in regard to preparing
artificial cotton from pine wood, and
it is said that the new process allows.
1t to be made cheaply enough so that
the artificial cotton may compete
with the natural product. The wood,
which is first cut into small splinters,
is reduced to fibers by steam and
acids, then it is washed. bleached and
passed through crusher. The ce4lu-.
lose is formed into fine threads by a
spinning machine. These threads are
said to make very good fabric when
woven, and can easily be dyed. 1t is
expected that they will be manufac-,
tured on a large scale and come into
competitions with imported cotton.

GERMANY IS FACING
Big COAL STRIKE
Nearly 100000 Miners Likely
To Quit Their Jobs.
ONLY WEEKS SUPPLY ON HAND
Mfns Owners Claim They Cannot
Agree to the Demands of the Miners.
May Stop the Wheels of Industry
Throughout Empire.

Cologne. Germany, Jan 10-Both
the miners and mine owners through.
out the Rhenish and Westphalian dis.
tricts are preparing for a general
strike. So far only 10000 out Of a
total of 270,000 men concerned have
gone out.
The mine proprietors began to re.
rejecting requests yesterday and as
soon as their replies are received the
miners, according to their previous
decision, do not go to work when
1t is time for their next shift. The
employers under the law fixing trade
relations between employer and EN-.
ploye are notifying the miners to re-
turn to work or be discharged with
the loss Of six days wages.
The miners at seven In the bort.
mund mines went out today The
proprietors affirm that they are unable
to agree to the demands to include
the time Of going to and returning
from the shafts in the wage period
nor can they make expensive alter
ations in declining the mines because
the owners claim Germany would,
thereby, lose her position In the inter.
national competitive field both in coal
itself and in manufactures by the use
Of coal. Some proprietors aver that
the economic equilibrium Is SO deli.
cate that the whole industrial fabric
OF Germany can be disarranged by
charging more for coal than hereto
fore, while others maintain that Ger
many could not in the case of a change
in the price compete with the Belgian
and French producers. Only a weeks
supply of coal, it is further asserted,
is in store.
The matter is causing a tremendous
discussion in the press, most of the
newspapers of Cologne, Frankfurt,
Dusseldorf and Essen, setting forth
the mine owners position, while the
Socialist periodical proclaims that
social war is beginning.
