National Labor Leaders Meet.
About 200 men. representing III ma
tiona! ana international trades Unions
assembled at the Washington head
quarters Of the American Federation
of Labor. having been called to an -ex-
traordinary session for the purpose OF
considering the recent decisions OF ths
courts against the very existence OF Ia
Dor organiZa lions as now conducted"
During the first days proceedings m
was decided TO formulate bill OF la
boris grievances similar to the one pre-
sented TO the president and leaders 10
congress I'm 1906. In his address Presis
dent Gompers said the time had como
for labor to do something more mill
tant in its defense and that it was par"
ticularly essential to the life OF the
movement for them to get the Sherman
law amended so as to exempt unions
from its provisions.
The prospect of help from the 25n,~
900 farmers connected with the Amerf-
can Society of Equity was advanced
by G. Bennett of Kentucky, who repre-
scented that organization. He said The
farmers had come to the conclusions
that the time had arrived for them to
cooperate with organized labor.

BEER CONSUMPTION.

Germany has long been considered nation of
beer drinkers Indeed, the beverage has always
been associated with the German people, but in this
matter the nation if not maligned, has at least
been misrepresented, if the report made by Consul
William j. Pike of KehI to the bureau of manu-
factures department of commerce and labor, Wash
ington, is to be credited. The report shows Ger
many to have a per capita consumption of 2S5S
gallons which is accompanied by the statement that
the real consumption of beer in Germany is less
than that the beer kept in store is included, and
large breweries are keeping more In store than
usual on account of the decreased consumption.
The report shows the per capital consumption of
beer in Belgium to be 1929 gallons, or % times
that of Germany per capita. Next in the list is
the United Kingdom, with 1854 gallons. Germany
is third, with 28.5S gallons Denmark 24.95; Swift
erland, 1851. The United States has the "honor'
of being sixth in the list with 1907 gallons. Swe
den follows with 14.94; Austria Hungary, 1188;
France, 5S1 gallons.
Estimating the population of the United States
at SO,OOO00O, the total beer consumed reaches the
enormous total of 1885, 100000 gallons. Esti-
mating again that one person in each twenty in
America drinks bear, which may or may not be a
fair average the 100000 beer drinkers have 321
gallons each to consume, or about gallon day.
Assuming that cents pint is the ayeragt cost to
the consumer each of the 100000 drinkers puts up
S128.10 for the privilege of drinking, total of
$513, 100000
Which ought to convince the average man that
drinking beer is quite an expensive luxury for a
country which is so abundantly supplied with good
water as is the United States.

GENERAL REDVERS BUTLER DEAD

General Butler, who lost his stripes because NJ
the Boer war. is dead. Judge Goodwin says hevs,
courageous and brave, but behind the times in mil.
itary tactics, and lost where Lords Roberts and
Kitchener won. This is not fair to the memory If
General Butler. When he entered the euemys camn
in South Africa he had only 10000 men at his
command. All his movements were directed BY the
home office in London. When Roberts and Kitc5-
ener took charge, 100000 soldiers were placed at
their command. Before leaving London. Roberts
accepted command conditionally, and that was not
to be hampered by any orders or strategic sugges
tions from the war office. Not only this but he
remained stationary for at least SIX months till
his army was increased from home and foreign
colonies The English government expected Bull
Ter to do with 10000 soldiers what Roberts and
Kitchener accomplished with 100000 fighting men
He was recalled, but did not loose his commission
till he returned home and then only after he crit
icised his treatment by the war office
That he had warm and sympathetic spot in
his heart was proven in Land League days in Ire
land when he absolutely refused to allow his SOL
diers to assist in eyictions. Soon after he took
command of the troops an application for soldiers
was made to him He attended in person, saw there
was necessity, also how harshIy the evicted ten
ants were treated. That was the last time soldiers
were sent during General Buffers command He
was summoned to London for refusing to send So
diers to help the landlords. After point blank
refusal to send British soldiers, he declared he
would shoot as intruders any party who would treat
him as the landlords of Ireland treated their ten
ants General BuIler did not get a fair show In bis
Suth African campaign, and his memory viii be
always cherished by many of his distinguished cOun-
trymen

BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE.

Gin this column we will answer, without charge)
all inquiries as to financial and other business
matters.)
Ogden, Utah, June Z, 1908.
Inter Mountain Catholic:
Please explain the law passed by Congress
for supplying money in hard times. Is such money
the same as clearinghouse certificates F.
The law recently enacted by Congress- known as
the Aldrich-Vreeland bill, is compromise meas
ure, intended to avert panics and is to be replaced
later by more complete law, when the currency
commission appointed by Congress has had time
to investigate and report measure to cover the
situation fully.
The Aldrich-Vreeland law provides briefly that
banks may issue money under certain specified con-
ditions and restrictions. The government will guar
antee this money, that the success or failure of
the bank issuing it makes no difference In order
to protect the government for this guaranty. the
issuing bank must deposit with the treasurer of
the United States government, municipal or rail
road bonds, or good notes mortgages Besides
this the money must first be guaranteed by nine
other banks, associated with the issuing bank The
bank issuing such money must pay tax of per
cent per annum to start with, and this quickly in
creases to 10 per cent. This is to make sure that
the bank will retire the money as soon as it can.
SO es to avoid having too much fiat money out
ling 1t is really intended to help out in times
of general panic such as we had during the last
fall and winter, when depostors rushed In and
withdrew their deposits from the banks and hid
the money away, thus causing many sound banks

ting somewhere quickly. 1t would be better, how
ever, if business and social engagements were ar
ranged to permit of more walking than is engaged
in by the average man or woman. 1t is one OF the
best exercises if not absolutely the best. 1t brings
into action nearly every muscle of the body; 1t
stimulates the vital organs it induces deep breath
ing And healthy body depends very largely ON
these things.
In these busy days, when amusements are so
generously provided for surfeited people with
resorts on every hand which may be reached by
train or trolley. and theaers galore some of high
responsibility others tainted, it might be we'll to or
ganize walking parties to visit the hills or make
tour of the canyons as new form OF recreation
upon a holiday.
II is wise man who habitually walks where the
distance is not too great and the time too limited
But the man or woman who can arrange holiday
away from the madding throng and goes into the
hills or up the canyons will be better repaid by the
trim. and il will not cost as much. The exhilara-
tion of mind which will follow day spent in the
n,re air of the mountains is beyond comparison
with things of the earth. And if perchance you
should have weeks vacation during the summer
no other form of recreation will restore the phys
zeal and mental self as efectually as a walking
tour. The constantly changing scenes are stun
illus to the imagination, and the exertion in the
open air is just sufficient to induce dreamless sleep
when the evening shades have fallen. After
weeks tramp through the mountains, the return to
work will be with new energy and stronger resolu-
ton.
So we'll established is the fact that daily ezer-
else in the open air is essential to the preserva-
ton of health that to state it is but iteration
The physical condition of Weston well illustrates
this truth. He is a man of advanced age, but
within the past year two has beaten the records
he made in the professional contests of his earlier
days. His vigor and strength are attributed to
his temperate life and his daily exercise in the
open While Californians having the benefit
of his presence, others may profit by his example.

WALKING.

Edward Payson Weston, the famous walker, has
gone to California under the patronage of a San
Francisco newspaper with the object of exciting
popular interest in walking as a recreation and
an exercise. He has been employed to give free les
sons to persons interested, and to those who ought
to be but who are not interested in the art.
Strange as it may SEEM with practically every
body walking to some extent every day. the art of
walzing-that is the proper using of the muscles
of the body the breathing apparatus and the devel
opment of graceful carriage through strength
is lost in busy world. Seldom do graceful walkers
appear upon the streets, either men, women or
children. 1t may be that affections of dress-the
cowboy heels or the latest shape last or a No shoe
on a No. foot, or the newest form into which the
womanly form is nodded by the modiste-that
prevents graceful action; it may be the men are
equally harassed by the conventonalities of fash
ionable attire. Children probably walk badly in i'm
itation of their elders.
Whatever may be the cause, that humanity in
general does not approach ideal carriage is pa
tent to any observant person. Here is one who
"slops" along another hobs up and down; an
other announces his approach by loud tapping of
the sidewalk with his heels. and still another swings
his arms as though in danger of falling with each
step A few have acquired graceful carriage,
which is proper 1t may have come natural
or it may have been acquired through observation
of the faults of others by professional instruc-
ton. However acquired, the accomplishment is
one which singles out the individual from the
crowd, and indicates a good mental and physical
constitution.
Walking has grown in neglect as the facilities
for getting around have increased. horse and
buggy quicker; the street cars afford rapid
and the bicycle and automobile are
great time savers for busy men and women But
walking is not recommended as means of get

PRISON LABOR.

There is very just protest goes up from the
laboring of America against the entering into
competition Of prison-made goods with the prod
ucts of their work. 1t is recognized that the pris-
oners must have work to do while serving their
time and many schemes have been tried, and many
others suggested At the recent national confer
ence of charities and corrections in Richmond, Va
several addresses were delivered on the employment
of prison labor, and the consensus of opinion was
that the public roads offered the most desirable field
of employment. 1t pointed out that such
work entered very little in competition with free
labor and that the plan had been tried to some
extent in various parts of the country, with uni
formly satisfactory results.
The warden of the Virginia state prison, though
opposed to the system before he had tried it. be-
came convinced after eighteen months trial that

KNOWLEDGE SPREADS.

Slowly the sum total of human knowledge is
added to. In the matter of disease and cures for
disease there is scarcely month passes which does
not product the discovery of some germ formerly
unknown. or some new and wonderful cure for suf-
fering humanity, but usually the subsequent inves
tigation disproves the announcement. When, how
ever investigation bears out the truth of the an
nouncement, the onward march of knowledge is
stimulated.
No discovery in the realm of medicine in many
years has been of greater Importance than that
certain species of mosquitoes is the sole agency in
the spread of yellow fever. The circumstance is
brought to mind by the action of congress In
granting special pensions to the widows of two
surgeons of the United States army, who subjected
themselves to the bites of these insects in order to
prove the correctness of the mosquito theory of
infection
The result of this discovery has dispeIled the
error that yellow fever was highly contagious and
readily communicated from one to another by con-
tact with the affected person his bedding or
clothing. Further, with the means of prevention
known it will be only few years until the scourge
will have passed into history with its untold sac
rifce Even now in the city of Havana, Cuba,
where for centuries it has claimed its victims, the
conquest of the disease is all but complete, all due
to the determination of the mosquito pest by de-
stroyng its breeding places by drainage filing OF
low places and screening cisterns and houses
Following in the lines of the first discovery it
has been almost conclusively demonstrated that ma
laria, too, is communicable only through the bite
of another breed of mosquitoes, although malaria
had always been considered infectious. In fight
ing malaria, therefore, the same methods will be
pursued as in the case of yellow fever. Mosquitoes
will be screened from the houses and their breed
ing places destroyed
Thus does knowledge spread and thus is hu-
mainly benefited in spite of the Christian Science
doctrine that there is nothing to be gained in all
the world except what is aeady explained in their
glorious text book, Science and Health"

conference were that the fresh air and sunshine
good for the prisoners many of whom are from
cities The outdoor work, it was said, left many
of the prisoners in better health at the expiration
of their sentence than at the beginning. Further
more the men like the work, or, rather prefer the
road work to confinement within the prison and
work in the shops therein.
The laws of Virginia permit the courts to SEN
tence whose terms of imprisonment do not eX-
coed two years to penal work the road, Results
having been satisfactory, it is proposed to eX-
tend the limit to five years. Just what method of
guarding the prisoners is used when they have work
to do at such distance as to render return to
the prison at night imperative is not clear but no
difficulty on this score seems insurmountable. The
prisoners are said to give the guards very little
trouble and if camps are established, the punish
ment for wrongdoing seems to resolve itself into
kind of vacation holiday. The corrective influence
under such circumstances must be regarded as more
important than the punishment for otfenses.
1t seems likely that the plan of road building
by prisoners will become more widespread. There
do not seem to be many serious objections to the
system The prisoners benefited physically,
their work does not seriously into competition
with free labor, and the country needs good roads
For these reasons, a more general adoption OF the
plan seems likely.
