building of a handsome Office building on the site

Cooper Square The Controller will bring the
matter before the Board Of Estimate and Appor-
tiOnment at the meeting next Friday. When the
Controller was asked about the project last night
he said:
There IS good reason for urging the building of
Health Tenement, Buildings and Corrections de-
partments and possibly also for the Board OF
Elections. At the next meeting of the Board OF
Estimate I shall ask for an appropriation tor the
building Of sucn a structure, on the site OF the

Chambers, just across the street from the Stewart

Mitchell Advocates Wage Increase-Oper-
ator Thinks Reduction Necessary.

indianapolis. Jan 26.-The United Mine
Workers of America met to-day and after five
hours Of debate a motion to inform the oper-
ators that the miners were ready to discuss the
wage scale prevailed.
When the operators and the miners met Presi-
dent John Mitchell read that part of the report
Of the miners scale committee which pro-
vides for general increase Of 1212 per cent over
the present scale Of wages and moved the adop-
ton Of the committees report He recalled the
reduction accepted two years ago by the miners.
with the remark that il had resulted in no real
benefit to the operators or to the miners. He
declared that the price Of coal on cars at the
mines had increased from thirty TO seventy-five
cents a ton within the last six months.
There can be no permanent peace in this in
dustry" ne said. until a fair and honest method
of measuring and paying for our work in the
mines is adopted"
Francis L. Robbins. president Of the PittSbUrg
Coal Company taking the floor as Mr.. Mitchell
concluded, said that the operators con-
WINGED that there must be reduction in the
cost Of producing coal. He asserted that there
had been a decrease in the selling price OF coal
during the last year of 31A cents a ton.
The debate will continue tomorrow.

TO BOYCOTT VENEZUELA.
France Considering Anotber Plan
for Retaliation.

Washington Jan. 26.-As a preliminary to a
naval demonstration. France is now consider
ing a boycott of all Venezuelan products Of
which she is the largest foreign purchaser. No
plan Of action has been determined on, but the
apparently complicated situation at Algeciras
has caused a suspension IN the programme for
the Immediate dispatch Of warships TO La
Guayra and il is probable that the cruisers now
IN the West Indies will await the arrival OF the
two additional cruisers now hitting out IN france
before proceeding TO Venezuela.
boycott against Venezuelan products could
be established by the Issuance or an ohlclaI de-
cTee at Paris but no information on this sub
fect IS obtainable here and it is said that no
decision has so far been reached

Mr.. BALFOUR'S CHANCE.
May Lead the Uniorsists on a Tariff
Reform Basis.

London, Jan 27.-"The Morning Post" which
leads the campaign in favor OF the reorganlza-
ton Of the Unionist party on a Chamberlainite
basis, interprets the acceptance by former
Premier Balfour Of the seat for the CITY Of Lon
don. resigned IN his favor by Alban G. H Gibbs
who is pronounced tariff reformer as an indi-
cation Of his willingness to lead the party hence
forth tariff reform basis The paper edi-
torially grants that such a solution will be en-
trely satisfactory. but it contends that it will be
the business of the Unionists to call meeting
of the party. at which Mr.. Balfour must make
a frank declaration of his policy. It strongly
hints that If this declaration should be unsatis-
factory the Unionists will look elsewhere for a
leader.
Other Chamberlainite organs give unmistak-
able hints that Mr. Chamberlain is now in a
position to dictate the policy of the Unionist

The factory wants the child. There
Is little to suggest the Magic Piper in
Its whistle, yet the summons brings
the children scurrying down the bro
ken stairs Of poverty and want, and
the factory doors close upon them by
tens of thousands, leaving their child
hood outside. The factory wants the
child and will pay for him; the child,
and often his parents, can see no value
In birthright as balanced against a
little handful of silver; only the state
and the disinterested public are left
to care and protest.
Perhaps the present attitude Of tenn
pered humanity, which still allows
children Of thirteen to work all night
and keeps boys and girls Of nine from
ten to fourteen hours at the spindles for
wages ranging from ten to twenty
cents, will seem as incomprehensible,
one hundred years hence, as the past
feeding Of "workhouse brats" to the
factories does to US. But the new
measure Of what Is humane cannot be-
come established unless we know
clearly what is happening and how
and where the children are at work.

Picture an army of one Million

that army tramps, day after day, not

it is by this time. In twenty years
preceding 1900 the number of boys in
manufacturing and mechanical pur-
suits-boys between ten and fifteen
had increased one hundred per cent;
the number of girls, one hundred and
fifty per cent; but only fifty per cent
Increase had been added to the popu-
