SUPERIOR & BOSTON.

Superior & Boston insiders continue
to predict higher prices for the stock,
Notwithstanding the recent reaction
that has followed the break in the
general market They are basing
their claims on important develop
ments at the property which have
been recently reported.
According to later information at
haad the Gardner shaft crosscut
should reach the Black-Oxide and
Iron King lodes before the first of the
year, and word of find within the
next three OF four weeks would not
be surprising.
The value Of Superior & Pittsburg
is not alone in its Great Eastern snaft
According to the estimate of President
Rice the stock is now selling only on
the showing at the Great Eastern
shaft. The value OF the four other
known lodes on the property are not
being considered. When they are
opened up 1t will reflect in the price
of the stock without doubt
The developments at the Great
Eastern continue to be most gratify-
ing. Superintendent Carter has ad-
vised the home Office that the Arizona
Commercial last week started to use
pumps at the Eureka shaft, prepara-
tory to sinking further. This can not
but help the Superior & Boston, and
will make It possible to resume sink
ing In the winze, which from last re-
ports was down to water level.

NOTES OF POLITICS
AND POLITICIANS.

The election of William H. Taft
gives Yale her first representative in
the executive Office of the nation.
Former Senator Spooner of Wiscon-
sin has been chosen Yale law school
commencement orator for next spring
Lucius N. Littauer, former repre-
sentative in congress from the Twen-
ty-fifth New York district, is to be-
come a candidate for the Office o.
United States senator.
1t cost James 8. Sherman $500 TO
be elected vice president of the Unit
ed States, according to his report
filed with the secretary of state OF
New York
Despite the fact that the politicians
were all against him, Judge Ben B.
Lindsey of Denver, popularly known
as the Kids" Judge, was reelected
by an unusually large vote.
Formal announcement has been
made that Congressman Ebenezer j.
Hill of the Fourth Connecticut district
will be candidate for the seat in the
United States senate now filled by
Senator Frank B. Grandegee.
William Howard Taft will be the
only president with a middle name
since Chester A. Arthur. All but
seven of the nations twenty-six pres
idepts have been blessed with but a
single baptismal name.
AS regards the United States SEN
atorship from New York 1t seems to
be a case of the three R's"-Root,

LABOR LEADERS At
WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT
Dinner and Conference Will
Be of Great Importance
to Workers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Promi-
nent labor leaders have arrived here
from various sections of the country
to be the guests by invitation OF
President Roosevelt at a dinner to be
given at the White House this even
ing. It is believed that this dinner
will be of far reaching consequences
and that it will materially influence
labor legislation at the coming ses-
sion of congress. President Roosevelt
has arranged this dinner with view
OF discussing with prominent labor
leaders the labor legislation planned
by the government, and to be consid-
cred by congress during its coming
session. The president is strongly in
favor of advanced labor legislation
and will urge especially a broad LA
bility bill for the benefit of govern
ment employees. He viii also suggest
the passage of an anti-injunction bill
providing for notice and hearing. He
favors also some legislation to apply
to the employees of railroads engaged
| in interstate commerce. The presl-
dents idea is to develop a general
plan of employees insurance, in which
I the government and the corporations
will bear their respective shares Of
the burden Of loss.
! The president, although strongly in
favor Of progressive labor legislation,
I does not approve Of the ultra radical
views of certain labor leaders, like
Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and
several others and, as he did not think
their presence would be conducive to
harmony and practical results, they

BUCK M'CUNE'S VIEWS ON
BRYAN AS AN EVANGELIST

And why do you think people would
go to hear him preach? Would 1t be
because they yearned for sermonE
Nay, nay; 'twould be because 1t was
such a novelty to see politician In
church, or near a church. unless there
was a saloon next door.
The people could not forget that
they were listening to tn only man
that ever stood up for three rounds
against the opposite party and could
still get his name in the papers.
81 can see myself saying after the
service, as 1 shook his hand Tor as
ne shook mine; you can hand it out
to suit yourselO:
"Mr. Bryan that was a fine dis
course you treated US to this morn
ing. All, by the way, voted for you
last November
"Bully for you, me boy says he
I'm glad you liked my talk. And, er,
ah, don't forget me in 1872
And there y'are While we would
listen to his sermons, we would al
ways be thinking of tn big fight he
made for the presidency in 1900, or
the wonderful speech on Imperialism
he made in Chicago. He is polid
clan, and as such we will always re,
gard him. Why a campaign without
i Bryan in it would be like getting your
leg cut off on Thanksgiving Day.
| But l haven't seen any announce
ment in tn papers to tn effect that
Bill has accepted tn invitation of tn
mistaken enthusiast from Kansas, ant

COMPULSORY INSURANCE.
Germany Holds Employers Liable For
Accidents to Worknaen

Inc liability of employers for acct
dents TO workinSmen is disposed of in
the form OF compulsory insurance of
the workers by the German govern
ment. The government singles out ev-
cry trade and industry according TO
writer in EyCrybody's. and saws TO
those who control each: You must
form an accident insurance association
which Will include all the employers in
your line, and you must pay compen-
sation to all your mi red work men &C
cordinS to fixed scale. We won't
stop to try to divide the blame for ac-
cldents between you and your work
men. We Will assume that you were
not trying to commit murder and that
they We're not trying to commit sui
eide. We will assume that accidents
are accidents. and we will make each
trade bear the burden of it's own ac-
cidents.
I'VE will make each trade add the
cost of its burned out eye sockets to
the cost of its burned out coal CRATES
IN computing the cost price of its prod
uct. You must therefore form ACCT
oeht insurance associations in your
trade and in your industry, and You
must pay your injured worlzmen the
compensation fixed by law But that
Is where we stop. Everything else rests
with you Go ahead and elect your
own officers and fix your own details
to suit yourselves. Invent Your own
safety devices and adopt your own

tors; build your own hospitals-do all
or none of these things. rs you please.

STRIKES OF LONG AGO.
Shoemakers Among, the Pioneers In
the Labor Movement

Shocmakers We're among the first Of
the trades 70 organize Il union in This
country; also among the first to en-
gage In strikes. In the fail of 1902
the pioneer union Of the shoe workers
was organized in Philadelphia. 1t
grew to be considered a power, and
IN l'?o strike in all the shops of the
city was ordered to enforce a demand
for an increase of wages. 1t lasted
but n few days, the employers recog-
nizins the demand.
Two years later the union struck
for further increase and got it, But
In 1913 the employers formed n manu-
facturcrS' association and began to
Systematically cut wages, resulting in
strike which was prolonged for ten
weeks before n compromise was reach
cd In 1903 another strike over the
wage question occurred. 1t continued
throughout period of seven weeks
with disastrous results. y feature of
this scrimmhgc was the arrest and
trial of the strikers for conspiracy
The court convicted the unionists and
fined each Of them IS. with the alter
native of going to Jail until the amount
OF the fine was paid in confinement
1t is said that scvera! of tho strikers
actually spent several weeks in the
Philadelphia Jail by reason of lack of
funds to meet the fine.
In the twentieth century the Boot
and Shoe Workers union does bust
ness Oh higher plane. Now the
strike is the last resort. Arbitration
IS the rule in all trade disputes.
