Deals Only in Facts.

In the earlier years of the work peo-
pie did not, in many instances, take
kindly to the idea of having their pri-
the public, but latterly this spirit has
largely disappeared. Nowadays if the
specia! agents of the bureau of labor
are refused information by one manu-
facturer they usually have no difficulty
in discovering some other establish
ment where the needed data may be
obtained. The government labor ex-
perts have won confidence by never
allowing the names of parties furnish
ing facts to be given in it's reports. al
though, to be sure, they take every
possible means to verify all the infor
nation gathered. The bureau will
have nothing to do with estimates or
hearsay statements about labor con-
ditions. 1t never makes any state
ments unless it has positive facts to
back them up.
At the outset the government labor
experts thought that they could carry
on their investigations largely by mail
but it was soon found that few people
would respond satisfactorily to queries
thus transmitted and so the bureau of
labor had to organize a corps of spe-
cial agents who are continually ION
the wing" securing information at first
hand and recording it on carefully pre-
pared schedules. The policy of the
bureau of labor in looking into labor
conditions and the problems of life
affecting the working people is seldom
if ever to argue a point. 1t simply
secures all the facts in the case and
then let's the intelligent labor man de-
eide what is best for him from the in
formation set out for his benefit. The
bureau of labor is particularly fortu-
nate in its directing heads. The COM
missioner of labor, DR.. Charles P.
Neill, formerly one of the faculty Of
the Catholic university at Washington,
is a man who has wonderful faculty
for clearsighted investigation and the
chief clerk of the bureau, Mr.. G. w. w.
Hanger, has been fitted by long expert
ence for work in behalf OF the cause
of labor.

THIRTY Miners SUFFOCATEO
DISASTER IN A COAL MINE NEAR
HAILEYVlLLE, OKLA.
A Barrel of Oil Ignted and Flames
Spread to the Air Shaft and
Hosting Apparatus.

McAlester, Okla. - More than 30
miners were suffocated Wednes-
'day in Hailey-Ola coal mine No
1, near Haileyville, ii miles east OF
McAlester, when fire destroyed the
hoisting shaft and shut off air from
the men below.
twenty-five dead bodies were re-
moved from the mine last night, fol-
lowing three hours battle with the
flames. 1t is believed that six or
eight more will be brought out. Twen-
tS-five mules were suffocated and
some of their bodies were burned.
After the miners had gone down in
the cage a fire broke out, occasioned
by the ignition of a barrel of oil
which a miner was trying to divide
The flames spread to the hosting
shaft. and all communication with the
top was cut off. The first indication
the people at the surface had of the
trouble was the flames and smoke
coming out of the top of the shaft
Hundreds of miners rushed to the
scene and tried to get into the air
shaft, but this was impossible for
several hours, as flames and smoke
were coming up that way with such
force as to drive them back.
The mine is owned by DR.. d. NJ
Haley, James Elliott and a number
of Chicago and st. Louis capitalists
among whom are several directors of
the Rock Island-Frisco road. The
property loss may reach $4,000. The
mine is one of the most valuable in
the southwest,

that has been given to
the working classes of the coun-
try has not by any means been
confined to those conspicuous services
with which the public is familiar, such
as the settlement of the anthracite
coal strike, the enforcement of the
eight-hour day on government work
and the establishment Of labor's own
branch Of public service-the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
Uncle Sam stands ready, of course
to step into the breach wherever oc-
"casion demands in an effort to secure
square deal" and living wages for
the toiling masses but even when there
are no clouds on the horizon of the
relations between capital and labor
this patcrnal government is busily en-
gagged with the problem of promoting
the welfare Of those who labor with
hands or brain. A number of differ
'ent branches of the government are
contributing to this policy but in the
main the work devolves upon the bu-
Teau of labor at Washington which is,
in effect, the labor division of the de-
partment of commerce and labor
Newspaper readers hear of the bu-
reau of labor when its head, the com
missioner of labor, steps in and at
tempts TO arbtrate some strike or
threatened strike, as for instance the
recent difficulties of the telegraphers
of the country, but there is not one
citizen in a thousand who has any
idea of the scope of the everyday work
of the bureau in acquiring and dffus-
ing useful information on subjects con-
nected with labor in the most general
and most comprehensive sense of that
word.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Jan. 1S-Wheat prices on the
local exchange declined more than 2
cents today because of free selling by
long holders. At the close the May op-
ton was off 21zq21s cent. Corn was 1 cent
lower; oats were down 5sd34 cents and
provisions were 212Q5 cents to 10 cents
lower
The wheat market was weak the entire
day, but the severe break in prices did
not materialize until late in the session
The market opened easy owing to moder-
ate buying by pit traderss who were in
fluenced by the continued liberal move
ments IN the northwest. The market
closed weak with prices almost at the
bottom May opened 1s03s cent lower at
lV4Ss4l.045s, sold off to l02 and closed at
1o21sQlO214. Clearances of wheat and

mary receipts were $4,000 bushels, COM
pared with $4,000 bushels the correspond
ing day last year.

ported receipts of 4S9 cars, against 800 cars
last week and 226 cars year ago.
Cold weather and the break in wheat
had depressing effect on the corn mar
ket. The market closed: May opened "A
"a cent lower at 60s4 G607s, sold off to 60,
where il closed.
Trading in oats was dull and feature
less. May opened 1su14 cent lower at 541A,
