Awful CARNAGE Of the Nrlnea

The coal mines Of the United States
are killing three times as many men
for every 1000 employed as those OF
most European countries. In the last
seventeen years 22,sa0 men have given
up their lives In the mines OF this
country. AS many violent deaths have
occurred in the mines during the last
six years as during the preceding eley.
On years. The number Of fatalities
each year Is now double that OF the
year 1895, In 1906, O,S61 men were
killed or injured In the mines, she
dead numbering 2,061 and the injured
4.sOo. These terrible facts have been
cleaned by government experts acting
under orders from Secretary Garfield
Of the interior department to investi-
gate the nature and extent Of mine &C.
cidents, particularly those resulting
from explosions, and also TO make sug.
gestions as to how mining conditions
may be- improved and accidents pre-
vented.
The Increase both In the number
and seriousness Of mine explosions dur.
ing the past few years may be expect
ed to continue unless, through investi-
cations such as have proved effective
In other coal producing countries, IN
formation can be obtained and publish
ed concerning the explosives used, the
conditions under which they may be
used safely and the general conditions
which make for health and safety.

Labor Disputes In Canada.

The method for adjusting serious in.
dustrial differences which has been
on trial In Canada since March, 1907,
was mentioned by speaker at the re-
cent convention Of the Civic federation
as being "the best legislation ever
adopted to promote Industrial peace"
The act In question Is notable in that
1t prevents the sudden cessation of In
dustrles vital to public welfare and
makes 1t impossible for either party to
a dispute over wages to deal a blow
without warning. 1t covers every
class of dispute between employer and
employed and even the Interpretation
of agreements.
Under the Canadian law either party
to a dispute may ask for an investiga-
ton board. and the board must be APP
pointed within fifteen days by the ma
tlonal minister Of labor, to whom the
findings Of the board are handed, and
II no settlement Is reached the minutes
Of the board are published. The pen
alties for ignoring the law are heavy
both for labor and capital, and any
person melting a strike or lockout
Is liable to fine. The measure has
general application and In effect pre-
vents change of wages or of hours
without thirty days notice and insures
an investigation by impartial authori-
~ before strike or lockout can oc-
eur. As trivial causes cannot bear the
light Of investigation and publicity, the
net result OF the law is that there must
be substantial grievance back Of ev-
cry dispute which threatens the indus
trial peace, whether In nlll or mine or
on a great transportation route.

THE COUNTY SEAT

Occur d'Alene has taken the pre-
liminary steps to secure the removal
of the county seat from Rathdrum.
We expect the people of Rathdrum
to resist our efforts because 1t Is ma
tural that they should fight for their
own interests, and in DOING so they
must enter the contest with no other
argument than personal interest,
while this city can consistently claim
to be the most accessible and conven-
lent from all parts OF the county,
being situated 80 that 1t may be
reached by rail or steamer. In MAX
ing the fight this city will prose-
cute a vigorous campaign on the
merits of the case. We have no
reason to believe that the campaign
will be conducted along any other
than clean lines involving the issue.
This at least will be the policy OF
this city and II there is any mud
singing It will be on the part of
others Occur d'Alene can win the
Tight on its merits and is going after
the county seat with all its energy.

influential citizen with a fine house on
Commonwealth avenue, was running

MRS. X. was an aristocrat to her

Such information may serve as an In
telligent basis both for legislative en-
actment and for arguments among per
sons associated with mining opera
tions.
In all European coal producing coun-
tries the output of coal has increased
greatly during the last ten years, but
the number of deaths for every 1000
miners instead of increasing, as in
this country, has undergone marked
decrease. This decrease has been due
to the effect Of mining legislation in
those countries for the safeguarding
and protection Of the lives Of the
workmen and has been made possible
by government action in establishing
testing stations for the study of prob
lens relative to safety in mining.

The Nevada legislature, although
It is composed largely of miners, by
almost unanimously favoring state
police bill which will give sufficient
force to preserve law and order, has
taken a stand that will commend
itself to all persons who believe in
the dignity of the law. The legisla-
ture could not afford to ignore the
demand for legislation to impartially
and honestly preserve the peace and
honor Of the state and protect the
property and lives OF It's citizens. To
preserve any form of government we
must first have law and order. and
then II any citizen or body OF citi-
Gems have grievance or grievances
that can be adjusted in the courts, or
by arbitration or agreement, such as
those existing at Goldfeld. every eff
fort should be made to do so.
The miners must be protected In
their rights as well as the owners of
the mines that equal justice may be
done.
