The merchants of Boston, together
with the property owners in the busi-
ness heart of the city, are protesting to
the aldermen against the frequent
surrender of the business streets of the
city to the parades Of the various or.
ganizations which desire to make q
spectacular display through a public
parade There is nothing new in this
protest and it is made with such visor
this time that it seems likely that fu-
ture parades in Boston will be limited
to the section IF the city where they
will not interfere with business. The
business streets of Boston are notOri-
ously narrow, and long parade can
not fail to obstruct traffic and interrup!
trade to n serious extent. 1t has
really become n serious matter to the
Boston merchants and it is probable
that their protest will be honOred by
the city fathers.

Arbitration in the Coal Mines.

At the time of the big anthracite
strike board of arbitration was es,
tablished to settle disputes between
the nlne workers and the operators
That was three years ago and the com.
mission has just issued it's report OF
it's work during that period in a vol
ume which contains 335 pages. The
agreement entered into when the strike
was settled extends until the first OF
next April and evidently the mine
workers are not fully satisfied with the
present system of arbitration, for one
Of their present demands is for the
abolition of this board.
At the end Of the report is sum-
mary showing the disposition Of the
cases that came up for decision. One
hundred and fifty complaints were sub
nitted in the three years. OF course IA
were pending at the end of the third
year, leaving l36 disposed of within
the period covered by the report. Scv-
enty-fOur were mot sustained" or
Withdrawn II were Sustained"
eight. were partially sustained or
compromised" and IA were settled
through the influence OF the Board.
Nine grievances, submitted by men
who Thought employment had been un-
Justly refused them, were not sus-
tanned, but the Board recommended
that employment be given to them. OF
the 20 grievances passed upon by an
umpire, four were sustained.
In the time that has passed since the
figures were gathered for this official
report, the complaints have been much
less frequent than they We're before.
This is taken as an indication
kers and the operators has improved.
The records of the Board, from the
time of its formation up to date, show
a total Of l12 cases. so that only %
complaints have been received since
March 81, 1906, against $50 before
then.
The Cancellation board is composed of
three representatives of the miners and
three representatives of the operators
The scope of its work was broadly de-
fined by the Anthracite Strike Com
mission, and the Board itself adopted
a set of rules to govern it's procedure
Any mine worker in the entire region,
il he thinks he has grievance ana
has failed to obtain satiSfac ton from

his grievance Before the Board. Wit
nesses are called, evidence is taken,
and opportunity is given to each side

half the herds are affected with tuber-

ans cure tubersulOsis? Why, by MAX
ing the patients sleep out doors as the
cows boys do and as COWS practically
did in the old days. If outdoor treat
ment will cure Il man it will also cure

to me that our methods of housing |

Berwick is another town that wants
to be divided, although this sentiment
is by no means unanimous. Residents
of that small portion of the town be-
tween the western division of the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad and the South
Berwick boundary have drawn up a
petition to be presented to the Maine
legislature in January, asking that the
section be set off from Berwick and
added to South Berwick. The valua-
ton of the property involved is esti-
mated at 100000 mostly in farms. Inc
people of Berwick in town meet1ns
have given the selectmen authority 10
oppose the petition in every way. Nine
or 10 years ago, similar move was
begun, but was unsuccessful
