Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE long threat
ened war as affects the operators OF
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany and the Postal Telegraph COM
pany Is on and no n can at this time
say when The end will be reached.
The final break came Saturday aft
ernoon, after practically all of the
weeks business had been closed up.
Had the strike been called Saturday
morning the business interests of tbs
United States would have been para
lyzed.
The general statement is made that
the strike was called on account Of the
discharge of two Western Union oper-
ators at Los Angeles and the refusal
of the company to reinstate them.
Those high in authority in the brother
hood circles say, however, that the dis
charge of these two men did not cause
all the dissatisfaction, although it was
plain from the start that the W men
must be reinstated or trouble would
occur They state that for a long Tina
the operators all over the country have
had grievances in regard to hours anil
wages.
President Small Coming.
President Small, Of the Commercial!
T~elegraphers' union, is coming. He
wired from Oakland that all offices,
both Postal and Western Union, would
be shut throughout the United States
by Monday.
The operators are sanguine. Canada
also will likely join in d~eadening the
wires. Commercial exchanges and
stock markets were plunged into mad
ness early Saturday. No news was be-
ing received except reports of wild
fluctuations of stocks. IndustrialS sui
fered. Railroad shares, too, were des-
~perately assaulted. Fortunes were
lost in a few hours.
One of the best posted men in tho
United States, and n who stands
close to many of the great railway in
terests. who himself is an operators,
said: 1T is almost an impossibility to
break the strike. In the end the oper.
ators will gain their point-at least a
satisfactory concession: When the
last great strike occurred, in 1885,
there were hundreds of idle operators.
1t was no trouble for the companies to
fill the positions vacated by the strik-
ers. 1t is different now, for there are
no idle men to be obtained at my
price. This fact means that the Jper-
ators will win the fight in a very short
time"

A BUNCH OF HOLIDAYS
COME IN new YEAR

Americas people addicted to the
holiday habit will be interested in
knowing that next year Washingtons
birthday, Federal Memorial Day and
the Fourth of July all fall on Satur-
day, thus giving the public three
double holidays. Ordinarily, these
three do not come on the same day
Of the week, but the Intervention of
Feb. 20 this year Washington's birth
day falls just fourteen weeks earlier
than northern memorial day, which
regularly comes five weeks before the
Fourth of July. The advantage to
the busy public of having these hol-
idays fall on Sunday, so that they
have two days of leisure together is
obvious. In creating the last holiday
Labor Day-advantage of this prin-
ciple was taken in the selection of
the first Monday instead of select
ed day of the month. In 1909 Wash
ington's birthday falls on Monday,
May 80 and the Fourth of July on
Sunday, which will mean a Monday
observance, so that for two years in
succession double holidays are as
sured. In that year Christmas will
also fall on Saturday, thereby afford
ing the most complete trial of the
double holiday possible in our calen-
dar.

4 FEAFUL DISASTER

Later developments regarding the
mine horror in West Virginia have
increased the magnitude of the dis
aster, In the loss of life it is the
most stupendous tragedy of its kind
in the history of the country. 1t is
believed now that four hundred men
have persisted as the result of the ex-
plosion on Friday
Heretofore the record for loss of
life in the United States was held by
the disaster in the Fraterville mines,
near Coal Greek, Tenn, some four
years ago, when more than 200 min
ers lost their lives from an explosion
similar to that in Vest Virginia.
Such catastrophes send a thrill
of horror over the country and make
the American people stop to consider
the dangers which surround those
who toll in the heart of the mountains
for the black nuggets which furnish
heat and power for the world
The chances are largely that the
explosion came as a result of mex
cusable neglect on the part eth
er of state officials charged with see
ing that the mines were properly ven
tilated, or negligence on the part of
the owners who were inclined to take
chances in order to save the addi-
tional outlay required to give the
greatest safety to the miners.
The recent explosion should be a
powerful lesson to the lawmakers
and officers of states where subter-
ranean mining is carried on for any
purpose. 1t is hard enough to labor
in the darkness of night, but to put
lives at the mercy of criminal negli-
gence of officials is asking too
much. The mine owners should fore
go a little of their profits to provide
safety for their workmen,
1t is to be hoped that the negli-
gence responsible for the recent
can be placed, and if due
to official indifference of any kind
those responsible should be punish
ed to the limit.

bility Of his wearing the crown. He
therefore devoted himself to hard
work and close study and became
one of the most noted linguists Swe-
den ever produced But death came
to two of his brothers, Prince Aug
ust and Prince Gustav and finally
to the third, Charles XIV, Sept. IS,
1872. And then Oscar II, assembled
the throne
All things taken into considera-
ton, King Oscar was probably the
most accomplished monarch of his
time There are few modern Ian
guages with which he was not famil-
lar, and in all branches of science,
literature, art and history, he was
singularly proficient. He was an ex-
cellent musician, great traveller, a
doctor of philosophy, popular poet
and a splendid speaker. AS the pat
ron of scientific Investigations, King
Oscar earned the gratitude of the
world. So, too, the various explora-
lions and expeditions which have
made Scandinavia a household work
among the nations were made posi-
BILE largely through his munifcience.
The Nobel prizes and their Internal
ional distribution were among the
most cherished enterprises of his
later years.
All Subjects Welcomed
The court of Sweden during the
reign of King Oscar was perhaps the
most homely court in Europe. The
poorest subject might call at the
palace and speak to the king, with
no more formality than the sending
in of his name 1t was the custom
of King Oscar at Christmas time to
show himself to the people in the
shops where he made many of his
holiday purchases in person.
1t is not generally known that
King Oscar visited America on sew
eral occasions prior to his accession
to the crown, and while serving in
the Swedish navy. In fact King
Oscar was reared as a sailor, and
always remained devoted to the sea,
as may be seen from the whole tenor
of his pOetical works.
