Now that the public mind is at

like to see the press turn the muzzle

take part for restriction.

The writer has been in strikes, sus-
pensions, or anything you might call
them, for forty years. With all this
experience he can say the miners
have obeyed the law and kept down
disorder among them, with less dis.
content than he ever saw before in
his time among them, which goes
back over half a century. We hope
it will continue to be SO.
We are pleased to know a settle
ment has been made in Iowa between
the operators and miners for another
period of time and to know the joint
conference still exists in making
trade agreements between employer
and employe. 1t would be we'll for
the miners to note one of the CHIEF
bones of contention in making the
settlement was local shut-downs, con-
trary to the agreement. The writer
has protested against these shut
downs through the press and to min
ers' meetings in the various towns he
has lived in as being illegal. Many
times he has won out and sometimes
lost, claiming no shutdown should oc.
cur without the full knowledge ana
consent of the state officers. Now
peace is declared, we trust they will
benefit by this dearly bought expert

peared after going TO San Francisco

Ellen. who, 1t developed later. had al
ready been married at San Rafael TO
Miss Ida Richardson Burd, a Southern

panied Mr. and Mrs. Thompson on their
wedding trip to Honolulu or the Orient
Tor companion and nurse to Mrs

from consumption and those who know
her well declare that she cannot long
survive She is distantly related to
Thompson.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Henry o. Brock

ity, believe that Miss Burd arranged
Tor Miss Brockman to accompany her
and aid in caring for her on her honey

together and had an understanding
among themselves regarding the future
His daughter. he said, was completely
infatuated with Thompson and would
nave done anything to be with him.
Thompson knowing this, Brockman be-
lieves. married Miss Burd, believing
she would not live long. intending after

Miss Burd is said TO be wealthy and
could easily defray the expenses of the
entire party wherever they might de-
sire to go. Brockman believes a sys-
tematic search of the steamship com
pany's Offices would result in finding
that the party had sailed together.

NAVY YARD WORKMEN MAKE
RECORD ON BUFFALO'S BOILERS
steam Engineering Department of Mare
Island Completes Big Task In
Fine SfyIe.

VALLEJO. Aug. 1.-The big boilers
Tor the naval training ship and trans
port Buffalo, which were made in the
Mare Island Navy Yard, are now being
Installed. They are convincing tes-
timonial OF the superiority of Califor-
MIA mechanics in competition with the
workingmen of the East. The boilers
weigh 75 tons each. They were built
by the steam engineering department.
cheaper than any Eastern navy yard
could build them, and a great deal
cheaper than the private shipbuildins
yards agreed to do the work for. The
wages paid here are the highest of any
yard In the country and the men work
only eight hours. but the results far
outclass the work of any other yard.
Inc repairs to the Buffalo are nearing
completion and it is likely that she will
take the place Of the transport Lawton
and make the next trip to the Asiatic
station.
