An invitation TO meet the King is, of
course, command" and no thought of
private engagements may intervene.
Madam Waddington has given us a
quaint little picture of one of these in
vitations which necessitated the post
ponement by her and NJ. Waddington,
the French Ambassador, of a dinner to
twenty-one people. And it has happened
that a great concert has been bereaved
Of its brightest star" for the reason that
he or she has been commander to APP
pear before the royal house party. This
however, is the exception, FOR in every
respect consideration is paid to the con
venience of hosts, hostesses, guests and
those whose privilege it is to help to en-
terrain. Moreover it is natural to postu-
late discretion and discrimination in the
host of royalty. They are not all like
the good hearted squatter in Australia,
who. upon being appraised that the late
Duke of Edinburgh was about to visit
him. thought it better to have library
in his establishment so ordered zone ton
of books from the leading Melbourne
bookseller. He gave instructions that
the books could he on any subject All
he desired was that the books should be

Walter Wclman said:
by the end of May | hope to have

to do this it will be necessary to cut the
balloon in two halves and take in the
necessary material. 1t will then have a
'utal length of iifty-tive meters, with a

Il hope then TO have sufficient ascen-
sional force 10 lift 1000 Kilograms Of
petrol and provisions motor sledges and
crew. making a total Of $500 Kilograms.
The motor will have from so to 100
horsepower and will turn two propelers,
either together or independently.
We calculate to have a speed Of about
sixteen miles an hour The 5000 klo-

COAL MINERS In
FIGHT TO FINISH.
MITCHELL'S POLICY OF SETTLING
LABOR DISPUTES BY DIS
TRICTS PROVES ROCK.
Lewis Claims Big Loss in Membership
Is Caused by Chiefs Plan-Fears
Union Will Die

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 15.-What
may become wide split disastrous to
the coal miners unions, took the stage at
, the opening of the national convention of
the miners here today.
President Mitchell and Vice President
Lewis FLASHED, the latter attacking the
policy of last year in allowing each min
ers' district to settle its labor affairs in
dividually of the other districts. Presi-
dent Mitchell said the policy was the
best under the circumstances, though far
| from perfect.
1t developed that about one-half Of the
unions had failed to pay the extra strike
assessment of 80 cents per week levied
by the last national convention. Repre-
sentatiyes of unions that had paid this
assessment were seated and others We're
given a hearing before the credentials

Death Knell of Union.
Lewis saw the finish" of the organ
izaton in the policy he attacked. He in
sisted that the organization must main
tam national character and claimed
that as a result of the action of last wear
the membership of the organization was
decreased 10000. Etra assessments and
the three-year wage agreement also had
caused some men to drop out, as they did
not feel the necessity of organization
sectional settlements of wage differ
enceS, said the report. cannot and will
not permanently improve the conditions
of the miners. If the United Mine Work
erS is a national organization it should
establish national reforms and make them
apply to all ali Ike. Otherwise there is no
need for organization.
Mitchell on Defensive.
President John Mitchell said thar tbe
past year had been most cvcntful with
its suspension ot work 10 enforce the
restoration of the wage scale i'm 1903.
and he believed the policy adopted for
district negotiations on wages had been
for the best.
While the membership showed n de-
crease of 3S,9lO on the records on ac-
count of eXoneration from dues of many
strikers. there had in reality been an in
crease. The anthracite field shows Il
decrease of 1870 members and the
President insisted on increased activity
in organization.
No Strikes; Union Prospers.
For the first time in years the or
ganization is practically free from
strikes. Less money is being expended
by unions for idle men than at any
previous time. The address urged the
executive committee to negotiate with
the operators of the central competitive
field for an interstate meeting prior to
April 1908.
Last year II per cent Of the bitumn-
Gus production was machine mined, At
tention was called to an increasing num-
Der of casualties in mines. Legislation
was asked for providing for an examina-
ton of persons permitted to be employed
in mines.
