Many Lives Lost in Prussian
Mine.

Saarbrneck, Rhenish Prussia,
Jan. 2S.-There were about 600
men working in the shaft when
the explosion occurred but half
OF them were wrecked. The res
cue corps is working desperately
in efforts to reach the entombed
men and 1T is hoped that some OF
them will be found alive. The
Reden mine is owned by the
Prusslan government.
Later IN outbreak OF fire in the
mine drove out the rescuers. 1t
is considered probable that 80
to 40 men are still in the pit.
The number of dead is now es-
umated at 200.
The disaster occurred 2,300
feet underground and is one and
one.quarter miles from the floor
of the shaft. 1t is the greatest
mining catastrophe ever known
in the Saar region.

The Carnival--Dr Boldridge's
Criticism of the Show last

This may be noted in three par
ticulars.
(D They had d slot machine
wbicu would give picture tor a

were not so bad. Some of them
were vulgar, dirty, indecent, i'm
proper, and sugs estive of evil to
an Incredible degree among de
cent people. | have in my pos
session about fifty of them, the
sight of which will abundantly
substantiaie the above statement.
Such sale of said pictures is in
plain violation OF South Carolina
Criminal Code section 296 Yet
these people did not hesitate g 10
treat down this law and our
rights which were supposed 10 be
protected by this law. Some OF
us thought that we had right
to be protected by this law from
such filth.

dancing were said by those who
saw it 10 be vile, indecent, ard
degrading to degree not easily
expressed.
All of this was done not only
before white men but also before
negro men. Such conduct was
precisely adapted to degrade the
white women in the eyes of negro
men and 10 inflame them to at
tempt the most awful deeds
against the white race. These

New Years Day

 doesn't seem one year ago since we began preparations to celebrate the beginning of a new year. We'll, time certainly goes by quickly, but we must remember that no matter how short time may seen. We must pro- long our lives as best we can. And
 the very first thing we must look out for is, What do we drink? If you drink milk make sure it's pure, for the Lord knows we pay enough per quart to have it pure. If you drink rheap, trashy tea or coffee, the kind that puts a bad taste in your mouth and takes your appetite away stop it at once and call at our store and get the nice tasting kind; it dOesn' t cost you any more-only 40 cents per pound and up. But if you are drinking the world wide evil,' the intoXicant which cleans out your pocket, leaves no bank account. takes away your happiness and health and deprives you of your in tellectuality, for heavens sake "cut it out" and begin drinking OUR tea, coffee and buttermilk. And there's no time as appropriate to swear off" as the New Year, the very first day. Just stop it for one month and when you see how much better you feel make it six months, and at the end of six months you will surely make it year. At the end of the year. when you see how much money you saved, how much happier in mind and how strong in body you will feel, you'll remember on New Years day, 1909, to call and wish a happy new year to pHELAN'S Y STORE 42 East Main St. Telephone.

SIX SUGGESTIONS,

The following very thoughtful and
practical suggestions contain much
food for reflection. They are Just az
significant today as when thew were
first penned by an old time abolition
list.
"First-Whenver certain human he-
ings devote their time and thoughts
mainly to obeying and serving other
human beings, and this not because
they choose to do SO, but because thew
must, there Il think) is slavery.
"Second-Wherever human beings
exist in such relations that part, be-
cause of the positions they occupy and
the functions they perform, are gener-
ally considered an inferior class to
those who perform other functions or
none, there Il think) Is slavery.
"Third-Wherever the ownership Of
the soil is 50 engrossed by small part
of the community that the far larger
nuraber are compelled to pay what.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1907-01-19

ever the few may SEQ fit to extract for
the privilege Of oooupytng and cult
waiting the earth there is something
very like slavery.
"Fourth-Whenever opportunity to
labor Is obtained with difficulty and
II SO deficient that the employing class
may virtually prescribe their own
terms and pay the laborers only such
as they choose Of the product, there is
very strong tendency for slavery.
"F1fth-Wherever it Is deemed more
reputable to live without labor than
by labor. SO that a gentleman would
be rather ashamed of his descent from
q blacksmith than from an idler or
mere pleasure-seeker, there Is a COM
munlty not very far from slavery; and
"Sixth-Wherever one human being
deems 1t honorable and right to have
other human beings mainly devoted to
his or her convenience or comfort,
and thus to live, diverting the labor
Of these persons from all productive
or general usefulness to his or her own
special uses. while he or she is render
ing or has rendered no corresponding
service to the cause Of human we'll
being, there exists the spirit which
originated and still sustalns human
slavery"

is now decidedly democratic. +,
An amendment will be presented
which will give the labor commission
er more latitude In the matter OF
certain railway inspections which are
now done under unsatisfactory condi-
lions. The matter of issuing permits
to school children to work will also
receive attention, although the present
system, when the cooperation Of
teachers is given, is working we'll. An
effort will be made to secure an APP
preparation adequate to the demands
on the department, which thus far has
been greatly hampered because Of the
limited amount Of money set aside for
its work. Then, too. the field Of Ia
Dor has Increased Of late, and it is I'M
perative that an increase in the ap-
preparation be made this year In order
that the plans Of the labor commission
er be carried out.
An effort will be made to secure the
appointment OF nine truancy officers,
one from each congressional district,
these to act under the direction OF the
labor commissioner as special factory
inspectors during the summer vacation
period.

THE PAPERMAKERs
WIN Bic VICTORY
The Eight Hour Day Is Con-
coded to all Employees Of
the Paper Trust.
Agreemnt Proves That Organ
lied Labor is Reasonable
in It's Demand.

Labor unions do not always strike.
They are usually governed by men
who are reasonable and who do all
in their power to avert strikes and
effect a settlement on some basis
which will not prove too much Of
a hardship on the employers, pro-
viding they are likewise willing to
be reasonable. A striking Illus
tratton of this is evidenced in the
settlement which was recently
reached between the paper trust
and the employees in that industry.
The settlement was the result Of
q conference at the New York Of
fices Of the International Paper Co.
between representatives of the COM
pany and representatives Of the
International Brotherhood OF Paper
makers the Carpenters and Wood
workers and the International AS
socfation of Machinists.
The papermakers had demanded
the e1ght-hour day, and an agree
ment was reached which prevented
a strike that would have affected
10000 papermakers throughout
country as we'll as thousands of
other mechanics in the industry
By the terms of this agreement
the eight-hour day is established,
and 18 paper factories are affect
ed. which practically covers the en-
tire industry in the papermaking
section. The eight-hour day was
inaugurated in one factory on Sep
TENDER LIST, and in an additional
factory each succeeding month the
eight-hour day will go into effect
until in eighteen months the 10000
members of the brotherhood and
all others affected will have re-
ceived it.
There is to be no reduction. in
pay, and this simply means that
every employe receives one-third
more In wages and works one-third
less in hours than he did formerly.

be seen that the gain has been an
exceedingly great one
AS an instance showing how nee
essary it is to go slow at times
and how haste can best be made
by moving slowly, it was shown
most conclusively at the New York
conference that If all the paper
mills were to start simultaneously
on an eight hour day there we're
not enough papermakers In the
country to man them. Hence It
was agreed that the eight-hour day
would start in one mill at a time
and that eighteen months would
be consumed in making the change.
