II anything were needed to demonstrate
the truth of the oft-repeated assertion
that the great eastern trunk lines hold the
coal output and traffic, both bituminous
and anthracite, in an unyielding grip OF
iron, the revelations before the Interstate
Commerce commission in the investigation
of the coal trust has furnished all that is
lacking.
1t has been demonstrated by the mouths
Of interested witnesses that the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad controls the output, and
consequently the transportation, of every
coal mine along its line; that 1t has smoth-
cred competition in the interests of the
favored ones, and that some of its highest
officers have not hesitated to descend to
coercive measures that SAVIOR more OF Rus
STA and Turkey than that of the United
States
Reading from the minutes OF the Fair
mont Coal company, which is a creature
of the Baltimore g. Ohio railroad, Attor-
ney Glasgow showed that one of the
highest officials of that railroad acted as
one OF committee from the Fairmont COM
pany to examine the property and conduct
negotiations for the coercive absorption Of
the controlling interests of the Pittsburg
& Fairmont Fuel company, a rival, which
was driven out of business.
1t will be shown under oath that inde-
pendent operators who approached leading
Baltimore & Ohio officials with a request
for sidings and cars that they might facili-
tate the development OF their property were
bluntly informed that they would not be
permitted to open new mines; that the
Baltimore & Ohio was engaged in mining
coal of its own, and that It did not propose
to encourage competition. ..--...
The investigation into these conditions
by the Interstate Commerce commission,
with the skilled assistance of Messrs,
Glasgow and whitney, its counsel, is only in
its infancy. In it's initial stages the invest-
cations Of the Armstrong legislative COM
mittee into the graft venality and mal-ad-
ministration of the great insurance COM
panies was at times wearisome and monet
onous. But the picturesque and bizarre
and the astounding came in due time. 1t
may be so in the coal trust investigation.

Replying to a question in the Swedish
Riksdag concerning the suffering of the
Lapland population in the north the min
lister of the interior explained that the
starvation of the reindeer herds. which
was causing famine among the Lapps, was
due more to immediate climatic conditions
in the districts where the reindeer were
pastured than to the effects of the con-
vention limiting the pasture rights of these
nomads. hard frost following a partial
thaw has covered the snow with a thick
ice crust, through which the reindeer were
unable to reach the moses they feed on.
To save the reindeer herds from starvation
they had been driven across the frontier
into Finland and Norway long before the
period fixed by treaty for these migrations
and had been consequently ordered back
under penalty of immediate confiscation.
Legally this proceeding on the part of the
local authorities was perfectly justified.
but the Swedish press has pointed out that
the very existence of the nomadic Lapland-
ers is threatened unless some better regu-
lation Of their pastoral conditions can be
DEVISED. AS the minister said in conclud-
ing his statement in Parliament, the Lapps
are absolutely dependent on the generosity
OF the three nations within whose frontiers
their pasture lands lie II they do not
obtain the concessions absolutely essential
to their subsistence, they must inevitably
become extinct.

The fate Of the French old age pension
bill, passed by the Chambers a month ago,
now lies with the Senate, which has ap-
pointed a committee of eighteen to ex-
anime and report upon 1t. Public criticism
against the BILL chiefly on financial grounds,
has been increasing steadily. M. Jules
Roche, the chief financial critic OF the gov
eminent, never loses an opportunity Of
calling II impracticable. He says that It
Is even more unreal than a railway to the
moon, pointing out that the commission
which framed it could not estimate the
number of worltmen who would receive
pensions with the least exactitude. All
they could say was there would be no less
than s6S,0OO. and no more than 3Sle,OOO. This
uncertainty. leaves a margin OF 1915, 100000.
The total annual expenditure he adds,
would be s2S5, 100000 The latest report is
that the senatorial committee is almost
wholly opposed to the bill. It is said that
only four of the eighteen are in any way
favorable to it. No one therefore will be
surprised If the bill should be thrown out
by the senate. The Chamber was pledged
to vote an old age pension measure, and
did so, but, as the hill would almost GER
tainly add largely to the taxes IT is un-
| likely to support II very ardently in the
fear of senatorial opposition.

It is apparent from the military and
police preparations for preserving order
during the proposed May Day demon
STATIONS that the alarmist dispatches from
France had substantial basis. In many
localities the proposed demonstrations have
been prohibited, and the manifest determ-
ination Of the authorities to suppress dis
order, has had calming effect on radical
agitators. Several causes lie at the
bottom Of the present unrest. the principal
one being the trikers in the colliery region,
accelerated by the recent mine disaster in
which nearly 1000 miners lost their lives.
The shocking lack of energy OF mine
owners in the work OF rescue. Inadequate
safeguards for protection OF miners and
low wages. eliminated in strikes which
spread rapidly among all classes OF work
men having long standing grievances. The
cause of the miners is championed by the
French Confederation OF Labor, the national
organization, similar to the American
Federation of Labor in this country. The
socialist, ever eager for trouble, famed
the flames Of discomfort by sending
agltators among the Disconnected, not with
any desire to remedy the alleged wrongs
OF the strikers, but to embarrass the gov
eminent for political advantage. The dis
play of force, though somewhat delayed,
appears from reports to have checked the
revolutionary spirit, and it is likely the
first of May will pass off without serious
disturbance.

At recent surgical congress in Berlin
DR.. zoge, a Russian army surgeon, gave an
account of his experience in the Man
churian campaign. He said that it was
growing more and more difficult for army
doctors to pursue their calling within the
fighting zone. The best services rendered
in the Manchurian campaign were those by
the field hospitals erected in the rear Of
the fighting lines and along the line of COM
munication. Wounds caused by shells he
found almost invariably fatal. Wounds
caused by shrapnel were generally danger
Gus owing to scraps Of clothes being driven
into the wounds but injuries caused by
rife bullets, especially the small calibre
pattern used in the japanese rifles, often
healed. After battles in the Manchurian
campaign, he said one doctor was fire.
quently obliged to attend 100 wounded. DR..
Schafer, a German surgeon, described his
own experiences in Manchuria The per-
centage of fatal wounds he declared. had
not increased as compared with former
great wars, such as the Franco German
war The percentage OF those who died
from the effect of wounds was remarkably
small, while the proportion of wounded
soldiers who quickly recovered was re-
markedly large. Three months after the
battle of Mukden half the soldiers wounded
there were again at the front performing
full duty. In some regiments no less than
70 per cent of those wounded at Mukden re-
covered and resumed active service within
three months.
