CHICAGO, Oct. when Charles

trial Workers of the Wo-ld, INDUCED
in the luxury of stopping at 81 a day
hotels, with meals" he uncousclously
trampled on the Democratic ideals of
G2,OoO Of the proletariat composing
that organization. His extravaganza
cost him his Office.
Sherman says he is no spendthrift,
but thinks a good. hard working head
Of national labor union is entitled to
some leeway in the matter of ex-
penses. The convention of the Indus
trial Workers thought differently and
ieposed him from his alleged soft
snap.
Incidentally, to emphasize Its ideas
Of economy, the convention decided to
do away altogether with the office OF
president on the ground that a presi.
dent is not much use anyway and his
salary might better be employed in
printing "union labels" and manufac-
turing big red buttons for the mem
bers to wear on their coat lapels.

FIELDS.

The average number of fatal acci-e
dents per 1000 miners employed in
the Pennsylvania coal fields (both am
thraclte and bituminous) for the last
six years Is S.12, that Of West Vii.
ginia for the last 90 years is 4.O7s
while that Of Ohio in 1905 was 2s5s,
says Mines and Minerals for October
It is probable that the average FOR
all the coal mining States is between
3.2 and S.5. il not greater, In En-
gland, for the period between the
years 1878 and 1882, when the aver
age number Of miners employed was
about $4,000. the average rate o.
fatalities per 1000 was only 2.24i
while in 1905. when the number Of i
miners had increased to S5S, 900, this
rate had decreased to 1856 per 1000.
1t is evident from this comparison
that while the United States coal
production has forged ahead Of Eng

THE RUSSIAN ELECTIONS.
The Liberals Victories Will Force
Gar to Action.

The electoral colleges in twenty-eght of
the fifty-one provinces In European Russia
have elected ITS members to the national
parliament-about one-third of It's entire
members hip-and returns received UP to
midnight indicate that the widest hopes of
the liberals have been realized, the consti-
tutional democrats and other progressivists
practically everywhere having gained a ire
mendous victory over the Octoberists and
other conservative parties.
AS far is ascertanable, not a single re-
dictionary candidate pulled through. and no.
where did even the Octoberists score q
triumph. The maiorities obtained by the
radicals clinch the character of the victory
From the Valgo to the frontier of Poland
and from the still ice-bound coast of Arch
angel to the Black sea, the story Is sub
stantally the same.
One of the astonishing as we'll as hopeful
signs for the future is the character of many
of the peasants elected. They not only were
progressives. but the most highly educated.
among their class. the ma jority of them at
least having a high school education A
peasant in Simbirsk named Aladdin was edu-
Gated in England. In the Volga district and
central provinces, where famine and agra
rian disorders have been the greatest, the
peasant vote was most radical.
Yesterdays results prove beyond question
that the calculations OF the government
have been rudely upset, and that the -oppo-
sition elements will control the national par
lament by a decisive majority Premier
Whites efforts to induce Emperor Nicholas
to proclaim constitution should now be
greatly reinforced.
Another crisis plainly confronts the gov
eminent, for the sweeping character of their
victory undoubtedly will encourage the lib
erals to push the government to the wall
and 1t would seem that the emperor must
yield to the entreaties of those who counsel
a final surrender by issuing a constitution
to the people or dispensing the national par
lament as soon Ii assemblies There
seems no alternative except the choice of
one of these two courses.

Prof Adolph Gluck, who holds the de-

raw, uncooked foods. He is to fast thirty
six consecutive hours every week and fore

Jones, neighbor, takes the other end of
the bet having delivered to the stakeholder
