COAL STRIKES IN 1905.
Statement Issued by the Geological
Survey.

Comparatively little time was lost in coal
mining strikes in 1906, according to an an
nouncement just issued by the United
States geological survey.
The most serious trouble experienced last
year was in Illinois and was the result of
the enactment of what is known as the
shot-frer's law. This law, which was highly
obnoxious to the operators. required the
employment of additional men and neces-
Stated therefore, an extra expense, which
the operators in a number Of cases refused
to pay claiming 1t was a violation of the
agreement that the expenses of mining coal
were not to be increased by any action of
the miners, and that this legislation had
been obtained at the instance of the miners
union.
rious disturbance of the peaceful conditions
which had existed in Illinois for several
years seemed imminent, the matter was
submitted to the arbitration of Judge
George Gray, who had been chairman of
the anthracite coal strike commission.
Judge Gray decided that the expenses
should be equally divided between the min
ers and the operators. Work was resumed
when the arbitration was decided upon and
the rest of the year was comparatively free
from strike suspensions
The number of men on strike In Illinois
during the year was 15, $50, or 47.6 per cent
Of the total number Of men In bituminous
mines idle on account Of strikes for the
United States. These 5,2S9 men were idle
an average of twenty-one days, the total
number of working days lost by them
amounting to 321, 967, or AZ per cent of the
entire time lost by strikes in all the btu
minous mines of the country.
Outside Of Illonois the principal losses OF
time by reason of strikes were in Pennsyl-
vania, where $3.50 men were idle an aver
age of thirty-three days; in Ohio. where
$3.50 men lost an average Of fifteen days,
in Kentucky, where 923 men lost an aver
age Of sixty-eight days; in Montana, where
at one mine 200 men were on strike one
hundred and eighty days; and in Alabama,
officially in effect. In Iowa and Kansas
there were comparatively large numbers of
men on strike, but the time lost In each OF
the states was insignificant.

TO ABOLISH GAMBLING
MOVEMENT STARTED IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
Great Demonstration In Manila
Against the Enactment Of a
Phohibitory Law.

Governor General Ide Of the Philippines
is struggling with a hard problem in the
movement to abolish gambling in the
Philippines. Headed by w. A. Kincaid.
formerly an attorney in Galveston. Texas.
the Moral Progress League of the islands
is endeavoring to prohibit gaming, which
is declared to be a national vice that is
sapping the life of the islands Allied
with Mr.. Kincaid are all the Protestant
clergymen Of Manila and many prominent
citizens, number of whom are native
Filipfnos.
A great committee backed by the Manila
Jockey Club is opposing the reform move
ment and insists that the foreigners have
no right to interfere with the Philippine
love for racing. An anti-gambling bill pre-
scented to-. the Philippine commission by
the Moral Progress League practically
prohibits betting on horse-racing, cock
hghting and all other sorts Of gambling. 1t
is maintained by Manila horse-lovers that
racing In that city cannot be maintained
II bookmaking be prohibited, and conse-
Quently great movement in opposition
to the Moral Progress League has been in
stituted.
Five thousand Filipinos, ten bands and
three hundred race-hOrses made up pa
rade which passed through the streets of
ernor Ide's palace to protest against the
enactment by the Philippine commission
Of law in accordance with the demands
of the reformers.
The Philippine commission has been slow
in forcing on the islands laws which were
not acceptable to a great majority of the
population and has shown disposition to
delay the anti-gambling legislation sodght
by the Mora@ Progress League until next
year, when the entire population will have
a voice in the government through the
Philippine Assembly.
Two Philippine students are being edu-
Gated in this country at the expense Of
the Manila Jockey Club. which has given
literally to charity in the islands and has
done everything possible to head off sem
timent against bookmaking. But the
Moral Progress League has made great
Roadway in spite of the clubs efforts, and
because of the sentiment against the club
some of the officers, who are prominent
Manila business men, were compelled to
resign and to cease to countenance bet
ting on racing.
Both the Moral Progress League and it's
opponents have endeavored to enlist the
sympathy Of the War Department, and the
gambling crusade has now displaced the
opium crusade as the leading issue in the
Philippines.

Wild Ducks on Ohio Stream

rom the Columbus Dispatch.
The big Scioto river storage dam that
now makes.a great lake of six miles of the
river valley has become the home Of a flock
OF ducks that stopped over on their way
north and, attracted by the possibilities of
the reservoir In the way of a feeding place,
have stayed. There are ten of them, all fine
teal.
Since no hunting is allowed on the citys
grounds about the dam, 1t is expected that
the birds will remain undlsturbed all the
summer. They have nested on the island
just north of the Hayden bridge, and with
their young ones will make large flock by
fall. Since duck are accustomed to nest
from one season to another in pretty much
the same place. it is expected that this
flock, for all this longitude is pretty far to
the south, will make the dam a summer
feeding place.

at price of $3.50 a thousand feet,
or 100000 Forest Supervisor Leon
f. Kneipp, in charge of the Jemez

the sale from the authorities at Wash
ington.
This is the largest single sale of
timber on record in New Mexico. The
timber, which covers about ten thous-
and acres is all located in Sandoval
county and that county will derive
considerable substantial benefit from
the sale, as according to law the
county gets 10 per cent of the amount
paid by the purchaser, the money to
applied to school and road expenses.
Mr.. Dye, who has lumber yards at
Roswell. Deming, Las Vegas and Es-
tancia, as well as in this city, has not
announced what disposition he will
make of the timber. He will likely
build a roadway into the timber. erect
a sawmill and set force Of men at
work cutting out the timber. The
tract is covered with yellow and white
pine. red and white fir and Engel-
mann spruce, which makes very val
liable lumber and can be converted
to many uses.
There were several bids in response
to the governments request, Mr.. Dyes
being the highest.

"Uncle Jack" Donahue, who owns
horse ranch in the Black riyer
country, had the misfortune to shont
himself in the instep. with a 44-ca
iber bullet at his home, Tuesday, says
the Carlsbad Argus.
Mr.. Donahue was alone on his
ranch at the time of the accident and
Notwithstanding that he was already
cripple, having previously lost a
leg just below the knee, he got on
horse and started for Carlsbad.
When near the Julian Smith ranch n
was compelled to dismount and lie
down A passing woman discovered
him and his serious condition and re-
ported it to Julian Smith, who
brought him to the hospital in Carls-
bad. Dr. Parr was called and upon
examination found that the bullet had
entered at the top of the instep and
completely shattered the largest bone
coming out at the bottom of the foot
the bullet being taken from the shoe.
His condition is considered very dan
gerous and 1t Is not improbable that
MIR. Donahue will lose his foot If not
his life, as he is an elderly man, be-
ing 81 years of age, and danger from
blood poisoning Is considered great.
