Peace has It's heroes as we'll as war.
Aside from the fire laddies who daily
risk their lives to save property of
otners, or the police who take their
lives In their hands whenever they go
on DUTY, there are other soldiers of
peace who bravely offer their lives as
stake IN the universal game Of mind
against matter. OF these, none are
more worthy of praise then the lum-
oermen OF the forests of the North
west. They are mostly drawn from
the Swedish or Morse immigrants to

Program for Labor.
If LABOR is to go into politics. what
should be labor's program? The first
reform to be sought in the Initiative
and Referendum.
In most Northern states organized
labor is now strong enough to force in
to the state constitutions and oity
charters amendments which woula
make 1t possible to repeal or initiate
laws by direct vote Of the Deonle.
The Initiative and Referendum would
destroy this control and make appli-
cable to present conditions the prin-
ciple of the old town meeting. Having
secured this direct power over govern
ment, labor could then ignore candi-
dates and parties and work directly for
measures looking toward its emanci-
patton. OF these measures two sug-

would gradually commend the single

solution Of the taxing problem.

And the man who "broke the jam ?"
Well, he gets ashore by leaping from

The breaking of log jam is an
exciting experience for the spectators

seems to fly through the air in a he'll

that makes Dne think they are en-

ulous vitality.
The author Of lyon Yonson' (who,
by the way, had not only oculer but
practical experience in the lumber
camps and knew whereof he wrote,)
has given the stage the most realistic
scene of breaking log jam, that was
ever produced. The jam at nrst ap-
pears like panorama Of logs and one
expects it to glide off quietly at the
climax. But no! Every log seems
to be possessed with life and the scene

log through the turmoil, makes
realistic stage picture never to be for
gotten.

ENGINEER PREVENTS

sons were injured in a wreck on the
Norfolk & Western railroad this after
noon. The wreck was caused by an
open switch and but for Mark Noble.
engineer of the train, who saw the open
switch which caused the wreck. prob
ably many of the so passengers aboard
would have been killed. The train
was running at high rate when Noble
spied the open switch 80 yards away.
Immediately he threw on his emer-
gency brakes, greatly reducing the
speed of the train by the time the en-
CINE struck the switch. The train
jumped the track and then jumped an
adjoining ditch and ran headlong into
neighboring woods before it stopped.
The eng ineer was picked up 20 feet
ahead of the engine. The train car
eened, but did not turn over and was
not burned as first reported. No one
was killed. It is said the switch had
been left open after a freight, which
passed early in the morning.

DIPLOMATIC JOHN MITCHELL.

Whatever may be the opinion Of John
Mitchell as a labor leader his ability
as a diplomat must be admitted. BY
virtue OF his position as president of
the mine workers. organization he is
the most powerful factor in a contro-
versy in which the failure Of an amic-
able settlement will be bound to pro-
uuce disaster whose potentialities can
only be conjertured. He entered that
controversy deliberately at the end of a
period Of preparation which covered
the better part Of three years. He
knows to nicely the small chances Of
complete success. He understands bet
ter than any other man the dishearten-
ing results that will follow total fail
ure He also appreciates the import
ance of distributing the responsibility
for a strike if it is possible to shift
1t entirely from the shoulders of him.
self and his advisers. He would prob
ably care less about the consequences
OF a strike if he could feel assured that
the most potent weapon in the SETTLE
ment. Of the one-public opinion and
sympathy-was to be with the organi-
cation Of which he is the head.
Mr., Mitchell is fencing cleverly with
he view of securing new agreement
which will be gainfnl for the miners
His letter to Mr.. Baer. chairman of
the anthracite coal operators commit
tee, is document admirably calculated
to aid his purpose. He was keenly dis
appointed that the demands of the
miners We're rejected in toto and that
the supporting arguments were given
so little cOnsdera ton. With his CO.
laborers he had again gone over the
demands and found that they were ra-
tional and modest. Mr.. Baer and his
associates must have misunderstood or
lnisinterpret the demands He
thought that at the end of three years

Of the men. the operators should have
and their desire to avoid a rupture, and
finally appreciation of the gravity of
the consequences Of trouble impelled a
final appeal for another meeting and
another effort to arrive at an amic-
able Adjustment
Certainly Mr. Mitchell has made no
mistake either in expressing the
unions spirit of tolerance, it's regard
for the welfare Of the country, or in
depicting Or emphasizing the righteous
ness of its cause and its particular
demands. Mr.. Baer and his colleagues
will find themselves in most embar-
RAISING position If they reject the re-
quest for another conference; their
position will be even worse if they can
not show that the demands Of the men

CITIZEN ALLIANCE FALsEHoops


Isn't 1t rather amusing to read and
hear the expressions Of the enemies of
trades unions lamenting the occasional
success of a labor union to increase
the wages of its members? To witness
the frantic resistance of the Citizens
Alliance against the inevitable eight
hour workday for all wage earners? 1t
1s to laugh to hear them declare that
owing to large wages exacted by the

Notices have been posted by the op-
perating department of the Burlington
railroad in all division offices that all
employees in the train and locomotive
service be examined in the neal future
on hearing and eyesight. This is the
first such order to be issued in several
years. Employees are always examined
on their ears and eyes when entering the
service, but it has not been customary
for them to be tested in that regard at
other times.
Minor defects of auricular or visionary
powers will not di~squalify men who have
been long in the service of the road, but
nevertheless the examination is expected
to be a rigid one The employees will
undergo it at division headquarters
where they have their respective stop
