A NeiqhborIy Act.

Disorder in Central America Is Of.
fensive to Mexico and to the United
States. 1t is as IL the neighbors OF
two law-abiding citizens were continu-
ally pickering and carrying their quar-
rels over the fence into the grounds Of
the peaceful. 1t Is the duty Of the
orderly, not only for their own protec-
tion, but in the interest OF decency, to
persuade the disorderly to behave
themselves. The presidents of the
United States and of Mexico acted as
benevolent international neighbors
when they rendered the good Offices of
their governments to the quarreling
republics in Central America to assist
in arranging a plan for arbitrating all
disputes which cannot be settled by
the republics themselves. Government
is in an unsettled condition in Central
America Although nominally demo
cratic In form, in fact it is almost
military despotism. That aspiring
leader wins the election who can COM
mand the largest number of soldiers,
and the people have little conoep-
ton of the nature Of what we in
America know as representative insti-
tutions. There is little more respect
for the rights of the neighboring coun-
tries than for the rights of the opposi-
ton party; consequently petty wars
are Of frequent occurrence This sur
vival of a sort Of petty feudalism, a
group of little warning countries,
squabbling over matters that other
peoples to-day settle peaceably, can
not be tolerated. 1t is necessary, how
ever, remarks Youths Companion, for
the United States to assume that
these little countries mean to keep the
peace save on the gravest provoca-
ton. Yet its joint action with Mexico
amounts to little less than a warning
that If they do not behave in an order
ly manner voluntarily, they will be
forced to submit to the power of the
stronger nations.

STANDARD OIL OFFICIAL

Charles M. Pratt, who has been giving the

Standard Oil trust, is of the younger men
who has done in comparative obscurity the real
work of the great trust. So carefully has he

To the surprise of everyone, Mr.. Pratt has
been frank witness. He admitted that when

LOCAL MINERS TO

ed More Than Was First Ad-
vlsed by the State
Officers.

Des Moines, Dec. 9.-The special
convention of the Iowa district of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea adopted resolution favoring d
greater deviation from the law and
agreement in the matter of pay than
had been recommended by President
White and the other officers of the or
ganization and for which the latter
We're practically placed on trial for
violating their trust The action up
holds the spirit of the advice tender
ed by the officers a couple of weeks
age, only it goes farther. The officers
advised the miners to accept their
pay in part cash and part checks or
clearing house certificates providing
each man should receive at least one
half of his pay in currency, The res
.olution adopted Saturday permits the
men to be paid entirely in clearing
house certificates or cashiers checks
if the various locals will agree to it..
OF course it was impossible for the
convention to override the agreement
or the law so that the resolution is
merely advisory. Nj
At first the convention favored the
adoption of a resolution insisting on
all cash. When it was explained to
them that the resolution would re-
quire all miners in the state to strike
should one or two locals not be paid
in cash entirely, the delegates hest
tated. 1t was pointed out that some
of the operators would be unable to
secure sufficient cash and that it
would be decidedly unwise to tie up
all the coal mines, including the oper-
ators who had carried out their agree
ment to the letter, just because few
men here and there throughout the
district didn't receive their entire
pay in cash.
Deny Ruuor of Trouble.
There has been rumor afloat to the
effect that the coal miners would en-
deavor to assist the transfers union
by insisting that only union teamsters
be employed by the operators to haul
the coal from the mines to the cars
or to the markets. President. John
P. White denies the rumor, declaring
that there was no basis for such a
contention on the part of the miners.
According to the rumor, the miners
were to insist that the provisions of
the agreement which provided that
only union men be employed in and
around the mines applied to the com
mercial teamsters as well as the mine
teamsters. The operators have al
ways held that the provision applied
only to the men eligible to member
ship in the United Mine Workers of
America.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS 40
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL. st..

Chicago, Dec. 6. - The Black Dia
mond today says:
THE end Of the month has passed
and yet the coal market, so far as
Chicago is concerned, has not shown
any very material improvement. In
fact, some grades of coal are getting
very much easier, especially as the
coal is diverted into this trade from
other territories, and the situation
seems to be that the producers are
confronted by the necessity to curtail
production unless considerable dam
age is going to be done to prices. A
great deal seems to depend upon the
weather. Under ordinary circum-
stances the appearance of cold wealth
er and SHOWS, which has marked a
part of the week, would indicate that
the most serious influence on the mar
ket, namely, the warm weather, had
passed and that prices would begin to
mend from now on.
Offsetting this fact is the easier
transportation conditions as far as the
car supply is concerned, and the very
important fact that strictly domestic
high grade Goals are now compelled
to compete to certain extent with the
Goals that under ordinary circum-
stances pass for steam purposes only.
For instance, great deal of coal pass
ing for Hooking, but in reality COM
ing from the Cambridge and No. s
districts, has been finding its way upon
this market, A great deal of so-called
smokeless coal coming from the same
general vicinity as the New River and
Pocahontas is passing for smokeless
coal. The same is true of the splint.
These shipments of low grade mater
ial are constantly increasing"
