UNEASIkESS FROM
LABOR SITUATION
Management of the Railroads,
Especially in the West,
Are Anxious.
MORE WAGES DEMANDED
PASSENGER OFFICIALS ARE RID
ING ON ONE OF THE FINEST
TRAINS THE PULLMAN CON-
PANY EVER BUILT.

The labor situation is causing rail
road management some uneasiness,
especially in the West. where various
labor organizations are making de-
mands for increased wages and
threatening to strike. At the last ses-
sion of the committee of general man
ayers it developed that the presidents
of nearly all the roads of the country
had determined that there should be
no further increase III wages. From
the general managers points of view
the labor organizations have become
somewhat unreasonable on account of
the apparent ease with which they
have gained an increase in wages the
last few years. 1t is understood that
these officials will resist all strikes
for higher wages.

the poor white of the mountainous dis
tricts The law is administered to the
whites and blacks alike in his state,
while both are given an equal right in
the public school system.
Mary NJ Hobbs, of Guilford College,
n. c.. said she disliked to see all the
credit for negro aid in the South go to
the NOrtherners, when the Southern
people were doing great things unsolic-
tied and unknown to the country ct
large She maintained that there was
a better system of colOred schools for
the poor negro, than for the poor
white 1t is not because of ugly
hearts that the people of the South are
not doing more for the black, she said,
but because of limited means with
which to carry on the work. Francis
w. Thomas of Indiana, also made d
few remarks on the subject.
Continued Wednesday Night.
When the discussions were continu-
ed Wednesday night, Thomas Edmund
son of Dublin yearly meeting, express
ed the sympathy of the Dublin yearly
meeting in the negro work, while Tim
othy Nicholson of Indiana yearly meet
ing, and John Woody of North Carroll
ma yearly meeting, spoke at length on
the subject. All were optimistic for
the future condition of the black. Mr..
Woody maintained that the black was
doing a greater work for himself than
any others.
The field and financial report of the
American Friends Board of Foreign
missions showed both to be in excel
lent condition. The report was sub
mitted by Mahala Jay OF Richmond
who is secretary of the board. The
work is broadening and many people
are being brought to Christ.
| The board is now handicapped in the
work, in that it has only advisory ca,
pacity to the various yearly meeting
boards. and a committee is to be ap,
pointed by the Five Years meeting
which will probably give the central
board an administrative power all the
minor mission boards. This is neces
sary that the work progress. The
| treasurer's report was submitted by
James Carey, acting in that capacity.
Wants Publishing House.
Iowa yearly meeting presented the
proposition of establishing a Friends
publishing house. the plan originating
with Pleasant Plains quarterly meet
ing. 1t is hardly probable that this
proposition will be given much though
at the present time at least. for the
reason that it is impracticable now.

TWO BIG LOCOMOTIVES.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
has just put in service TWO unusually
large locomotives. The big fellows
are Of the balanced compound type
with a double set of cylinders, making
each equal in effective work to prac-
tically two ordinary locomotives.
Each of these new locomotives
weighs $4,000 pounds or about 1862
tons They are much heavier than
any other standard locomotive on
that system. The boiler will carry
pressure of 22O pounds of steam,
twenty pounds greater than any other
of the company's locomotives and the
operation of these engines it is stat
ed, will be watched with much inter-
est all over the country.

Work Among Indians.
There are now eleven Indian mission
posts. according to the report of the
associated executive committee on In
dian affairs. which was heard Wednes-
day night Beside these Friends posts
there are number of Friends Indian
meetings and out stations All these
are located in Indian Territory and
Oklahoma, six being in Indiana Ter
ritory.
Walter Smedley has been chosen sec
rotary of the Indian work to succede
John Nicholson of Baltimore. who for
many years labored in the work sue
cessfully. A written report of the
condition of the Indian work was sub
mitted by Mr.. Smedley at the meeting.
Al reports expressed a very optimistic
view Of the future. Abigail j. Haw-
worth, in charge of the Indian station
at Shawnee, Oklahoma, spoke of the
work among the Indians there and
said that the race was menaced by the
eager, grasping politicians who desired
to secure much of the Indians lands
valuable for their mineral products 1t
IS a shame that these conditions exist,
she said. Amos K. Hollowell, of In
dianapolis, submitted the treasurer
report and this was referred to the del
egatiOn committee.
Interest in the deliberations is rap
idly increasing, as manifested by the
| increased attendance at each session.
Many of the most brilliant minds in

THE FONTANET DISASTER.

Many who have read and heard of
the horrors connected with the terri
at once jump to a conclusion and lay
the chief blame for the affair to war
fare, believing that the powder mills
at Fontanet were engaged in manu-
featuring high explosives for warfare
little Of the explosives manufactured
by the various powder mills of this
Practically the entire product is used
in commercial lines. Those who be-
lieve it goes for warfare alone natur-
ally would like to see the dangerous
powder mills abolished. To do that
would cripple many lines of operation
throughout the country. High eXplo-
sives nowadays are used chiefly for
blasting purposes and in that connec-
tion are used not only all over this
country but all over the world. Up in
soil by blasting. Immense areas.
Here in the United States we build
kind of rock formations by blasting
with high explosives. Thus it is clear
1y seen that the high explosive of to-
day is an instrument of peace and is
used to further the progress of those
things that render life and it's neces-
stiles great assistance.
OF course the manufacture of high
explosives can not be otherwise than
a dangerous occupation and not only
for those who are actively engaged
in the manufacture but for those who
live near a powder mill Yet we can
not do without the product and there
fore must look upon the business as
a necessary evil-evil, that is, on &C
count of the great danger surrounding
censure the powder manufacturers on
account of such great accident
greatest from the effects of an eX
plosion for they know their entire
plant will be wiped out of existence
and, therefore, as everyone knows
who has ever visited a powder mill,
take the greatest precautions to
guard against accidents of any kind.
When a great and appalling accident
place the blame rarely if ever can be
brought home. If it was due to care
lessness the perpetrator of the care
less act and generally all witnesses
to 1t perish in the resultant explosion.
And If it was from any other cause
there is nothing left after the explo-
sion to show what the cause was.
This, much, however, can be under
stood from human nature and will go
long way in most explosions to ex-
plain the cause The man who en-
cages in any dangerous business ev-
entually becomes so accustomed to it
that he loses to a great extent that
realization of danger that is so neces-
sary to absolute carefulness. And
then some day the result of that fam
iliarity with danger-an explosion
occures and widespread ruin and des-
olation is the result Until human ma
ture changes and the man engaged
in a dangerous occupation remains
perpetually careful the nation may
expect to be shocked from time to
time by dreadful accidents such as
occurred at Fontanet.
