UNION LABOR WILL SAY
WHEN WAR SHALL CEASE
Rev. Charles Stelzle, the Work.
ingman-P Preacher, Notes
Labor's Work.
Predicts That It Will Be Organic
ed Labor Which Will Pro-
claim Peace.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1O.-Rev. Charles
stelzle, well known to readers of labor
papers throughout the country, takes
occasion in his weekly news letter to
Hague conference. In it he sees little
solution to the problem of war, except
that it will be made more humane.
However, he is hopeful that organ
lied labor will arise to the occasion.
the world over, and will proclaim
peace, and the end Of war for all time
to come. This is what he says:
THE peace conference at the Hague
has completed it's task. It discussed
the: problems of war largely from the
viewpoints of the war specialists. I'm
doubtedly much good has been accom-
plished through this discussion and
much good will result in the future
But war has not been abolished.
That was not the real purpose Of the
conference. Its purpose was to "civil-
1ze' war-to make the killing Of our
brothers more human. Hereafter it
Will be done with more ceremony and
with greater politeness. No doubt that
will be comfort to the dead soldier.
1t will also make less burdensome the
lives of the widows and the orphans
who remain.
War shall cease. But if we are to
await the edict from the conference at
ssthe Hague, which shall declare it, we
Will walt long and patiently. Among
them is organized labor. The coming
convention of the American Federation
Of Labor at Norfolk will be a real:
factor in bringing about peace among
nations
= "some day the organized working
men of the world shall say: Let
there, be peace" and there will be
peace. They will refuse to go out to
kill and to MAIN their fellow workers
and brother-men, in order to satisfy
the pride, the selfishness and the COW
etousness Of their rulers. They will
call a great peace strike, In order to
save the lives of workingmen and in
order to bring an end to the sufferings
Of soldiers widows and orphans. Then
war shall cease, and 1flen will learn
that there is another way TO right the
wrongs Of nations" :.

 A new freight vessel for the SoutL- eastern Alaska route of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company is @nder consideration. Plans for the new boat have been drawn and are in the hands of the officials of the co&pany. The plans propose vessel with mcre ca- pacity, speed and economy in handling cargo than the steamship AlHi, which it is intended to supplant. h leD5th the proposed vessel is 228 feet; bean '0 feet and depth IFS feet The hn.i 60 be built of steel and the vessel Is to have a speed of about twelve knots, Deck room for 1,0O0,O0G feet of lnm.a. is allowed for.

 The bursting of the Royuoids bubble at Valdez, while it worked laEa5,.IpS on some, others came out happily with money to the good. A large mercan- tile establishment there attracted the attention of Reynolds and he immedi- ately offered to buy The proDrietors named a price, and offered to sell npon the payment of 85O.OOO for an option. Reynolds wrote his check for ths $50, 900, and the check was immediately cashed. During the next few weoH7 Reynolds bought goods on time and when the crash came be owed ahoCt 3ll.OOO This account is not conside"e1 good for much, but the f~m is scf.l S39, GOO ahead on the dea!. Another story is told that poor Norwegian had a lot that cost him $25 He hoped to sell it for S3O, but friend advised him to try Reynolds When Reynolds saw the lot he asked the price. The Nor wegian thought of asking $50, but his modesty got the better of him and he was still halting between two opinions, when Reynolds asked: "Will you take S5OO?" He took it. So the good things were passed around. Two men had lot of shares-comparatively valueless in townsite company, got S2,50o each. Another man with Q small store and few gramophones sold out for S5,OOO cash, and was made president of the Valdez Music company Outside of the Iaborers who lost their wages, very few were losers, and many made a good thing out of it. Reynolds is character. It is said he never wears hat; when asked why, he replied that his brain was so active that if hc wore hat his head would burst. The chances are Alaska will have but one Reynolds.

 A common rule for computing the power required by the use of ordinary tackle blocks to raise a given weight is to divide the amount of the weight to be raised by the number of parts of the rope supporting the lower block; thisrule is, however, based upon the supposition that there is no fractional resistance involved in the turning of the sheaves, which factor may some times be as great as to nearly offset the advantage otherwise gained by their use.

 A cable message came yesterday di- recting the cruiser Buffalo to arrange for securing fifty tons of Matanuska coal to be sent to the Atlantic coast for test by the navy department. says the Seward Gateway. This will be taken out from the Chickaloon river bed this winter, sledded to Kuil and carried out by way of the inlet as early as nayiga- ton opens next spring. The Buffalo came here with instructions to take out with her fifty tons of Matanuska coal for testing, the navy department having obtained the erroneous idea that the coal was already accessible. This was no doubt due to the somewhat extensive notice the Matanuska coal has received through the reports of Mir. Griffith and Prof. Martin, the for mer a noted Pennsylvania expert, and the latter a member of the government geological survey. The photographic work of the survey for the coaling sta ton is practically completed. Some work on land remains and Capt.

 The United Powder Company, with works at San Jose, California, is plac- ing on the market several varietiee of so-called Thor-ite, or Safety, blasting powder, for which superior advantages are claimed over nitro o-glycerine and other powders now in use. It is as- serted, firstly, that the powder is from 40 per cent to 50 per cent more ettici- ent: secondly, that it will not freeze and is not affected by age; thirdly, that it gives off no fumes and is, therefore, less injurious to the health of the users; fourthly, that it eXplodes as a whole only by the concussion of a most powerful cap; filthy, that it is lighter in weight and can therefore be trans ported at less expense, and, siXthly, that it is cheaper than nitro-glycerine powders. In proof of these assertions the company lately carried on public tests of several days duration at it's San Jose works. The tests included "bulldozing," (rock-splitting and shat tering), blowing up of mammoth oak trees and the hammering and ignition experiments, all of which were highly satisfactory. In all of these tests the absence of noxious or injurious fumes was a noticeable characteristic, while the safety of handling and firing the powder was demonstrated in several ways.-Mining Reporter.
