REAPs REWARD.

The valient services of one of the
most notorious and conspicuous of
the strike breakers in the late
street ear strike, have been re-
warded by the Traction Company,
they having filed his position with
a new man and placed him back a
notch in the service. Such is the
fate of the "free and independ-
ents," they are heroes when there
is a strike on, when they will arm
themselves with billiard cues and
parade the public streets to pro-
tect Cd the property of the COM
pany and to intimidate the strikers
and their sympathizers, but when
conditions become normal the
'free and independents cannot be
given positions of honor and trust
because they have neither the con-
hdence or respect of their employ.
erS.
When the announcement was
made public that the aforesaid
''hero' had been reduced to ranks
there was weeping and wailing
among his confederates and there
was much talk of them striking
unless he was reinstated in his old
position, but their threats were Of
no avail, as the company were
well aware that they did not
possess the moral courage to carry
their threats into execution.
Verify, the pathway of the
strike breaker is not strewn with
roses.

A BURsTED BUBBLE.

The reception accorded John
Mitchell, after he had journeyed
here from indianapolis, to attend
the Immigration Conference at
the special request OF the Governor
was not only an open affront to
Mr.. Mitchell and organized labor
but to all citizens of the state who
believe in a square deal. 1t was
doubly unfortunate that the
Governor was too i'll to be present,
but his absence did not necessarily
cause the s.conferencen to resolve
itself into an iceburg, and if the
operators who responded to the call
were sincere in there efforts to
devise ways and means whereby
better class of practical miners
could be Secure1'' for certain sec
lions of the state, they should have
at least had some discussion on
the subject and shown common
courtesy enough to Mr.. Mitchell
to have given him an opportunity
to be heard on the subject after he
had sacrificed his time to attend
the conference and lend his as
sistance in solving the problem for
their benefit.
The whole truth of the matter is
that several operators knew that
Mitchell could and would guar
antee the miners necessary to
operate every mine in the state
without reSOrting to securing i'm
migrants, if thc,men were given the
assurance that they would enjoy
the same rights and privileges ac-
corded them in other states-that
which the constitution of this State
and the United States guarantees
every American citizen-and they
were determined that he should
not be given and opportunity to be
heard, hence boss Dixon took
charge of the Conference and it'll
dropped with a dull thud.
MIR. Mitchell had no comment to
make on the outcome of the meet
ing but the glitter in his ewes
showed that he was more determ-
med than ever to organize West
Virginia and furnish the opcr-
ators good practical miners to sue
cessfully operate their mines and
make this the greatest coal pro
duclng state in the Union, in spite|
of all their opposition.
Heres more power to the
miners peerless leader.

A THREE-EDGED SWORD.

it is armed. Why, then, should
1t submit to the pillage of the

like sheep and cringe like towards

who would live in splender upon
the fruits of their toll. The fell
low who deserts good cause and
hldcs away from danger because
he is afraid of being hurt in battle
richly earns the contem pit of good
men. Numbers avail not, and
strength is of little value without
courage and devotion to nerve the
arm and steel the heart for victory
1t IS the strong, brave man who
arms himself and offers his all uD
on the alter of the cause that he
knows to be right, who is the pride
and glory of his race. And we re-.
Joice to know that labor has inst
such heroes. Their blood has
dyed with crimson glory every
battle field of earth. They were
as ready to face suffering and
torture in the dark dungeons and
meet obscure and ignominous
death as they were to win glory
amid the cclat of battle.
Labor still has thee heroes
millions OF them. But, us they
are as patient and enduring in
peace as they have been brave and
self-sacrificing in war, the same

A few evenings ago, at a social n
ton in this city, someone ~facetiously
suggested to Hon. Edward Ivinson that
he %enlighten the company On the COM
tparative merits of the horse and the
automobile in hunting for sage chick
n Mr.. Ivinson and a party had been

car, and Mr.. ~Ivinson stated hat for
some purposes he would stick to the
horse" The following from the Sep.
TENDER number of The Technical World
will add interest to the subject:
Some Difficulties Encountered.
1t has been n difficult matter to adapt
the automobile to use on the farm ow-
ing to the fact hat it has been hard
to secure the necessary traction of
the wheels on the ground. Ribbed
wheels do not have the necessary grip
ping effect unless they are held down
by enormous weight and eve then,
the resistance of the load is often suf-
ficient to cause the tractor wheels to
simply gouge out the ground as they
revolve without moving ahead.
These difficulties have been over
come in a new machine known as the
Farmobile. The system of propulsion
consists in employing an inert wire
cable which lies upon the ground and
extends across the field, the ends of
the cable being secured.
How Gable Is Used.
The car is equipped with a pair of
drums which are operated by a four
cylinder gasoline engine. The car
stands over the cable, and the cable
passes with a few turns over the drum
SO that as the drum revolves it winds
along the cable and draws the car at a
proportionate speed. At each n of
the car is a tension device comprising
a pair of positively driven rolls be-
tween which the cable passes, the rolls
pressing against the cable which
keeps the cable tant between h ten.
sion devices and the drums SO that the
cable cannot loosen it's coil on the
drums.
Car Bound to Travel.
AS the cable has several coils on
both drums, and the coils cannot pos
sibly slip, and as the drums are posi-
lively driven. it will be readily seen
that in operation the a is bound To
travel and pull its load, and the load
may be as great as the engine has
power to pull.
In use the cable takes care of itself
and shifts itself to accommodate the
path in which the machine is steered.
Each end of the cable is fastened to a
pulley, and the pulley rides along q
cable arranged ~transversely to the pro-
polling cable. The machine is pro
vided with a steering wheel which con-
trolls the angular position of the front
wheels similarly to an automobile.
