un to the South.

Palestine Herald.--It seems to be IN
TO the south to put the tariff graft out
OF business. The west is in open re-
volt against the scheme to tax the
many for the few. and the only chance
the east has to hold its advantage in
government administration Is by lin
ing up the south. The method selected
to do this is by throwing a few
chunks of fat to the rich Of the south
in the hope that they will be able to
swing southern influence to the tariff
plan. II the plan works, the robber tar.
if will hold on for an indefinite time.
and the people who buy will continue
to pay the price of their own foolish
ness. II the plan fails, the south and
the west will join forces and secure
equal privileges for all under the law.
The day must come eventually when
out of self-protection the people-the
big majority-will repudiate the whole
protective system as fraud and an
unnecessary burden on the masses.

DOZEN DIE AS RESULT
OF EXPLOSION IN Mine
Only Three Of the Fifteen at
Work Escape DEATH

Johnstown, Pa, Nov. 2.-Twelve
men were killed in the Cambria Steel
company's coal mine two miles from
here as the result of what Is supposed
to have been a dynamite explosion.
All the dead are foreigners.
Three men escaped by perilous
climb on life ladders through poison
Gus mine gases and falling slate up
the steep walls of the main shaft.
Only fifteen workmen, all tracklayers,
We're in the mine.
1t was hours before the rescuers
gained perceptible headway. When
the final barrier of rocks was passed
the rescue party found twelve hud-
died forms close together, the bodies
indicating that the men had died of
suffocation.
Mine Inspector Williams Is OF the
opinion that the explosion was caused
by mine dust, but members of the
rescuing party declare the blast was
caused by the explosion Of dynamite
used by the men in blasting for the

INCREASED ACTIVITY
IN INDUSTRIAL FIELD
Report Of Bureau Of Statistics
Of Commerce Department.

Washington, Nov. "A largely in
creased activity in the industrial field
Is indicated by the September figures
of internal commerce as reported TO
the bureau OF statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor The
Improvement is most pronounced in
the coal and iron trades. The lum.
ber movements during the month
We're fairly heavy, though for some
sections September reports show
slight decreases from the larger move
ments recorded for the earlier months.
The market receipts of agricultural
products, including grain, rice and
cotton, on the whole show normal
development. The movement of live
stock, and particularly of meat prod
ucts, at principal packing centers,
mainly on account of the smaller ex-
port demand, shows more stationary
condition. The traffic activity of the
railways during the month was con-
siderably larger than year ago.
While the number of idle cars at the
end Of the month had not yet disap-
peared a rapidly growing car shortage
began to manifest itself, which is like
ly TO interfere to some extent with
the movement of the great staples dur
ing the rest of the year.

HEAVILY LADEN WITH WINES
Transatlantic Liners Hurry Into New

New York, Nov. 2.--As ii it were
that all America suffered from one
great thirst six large ocean liners and
several smaller boats came hurrying
into the port of New York during the
last hours of October laden with
champagnes, wines, brandy and liquor
But the thirst which prompted the
haste was one for gold-not for liquor
At midnight Oct 81 the duty on cham
payne jumped from So to $3.50 a case
and on other wines and liquors pro-
portionately, because of the termina-
ton of q tariff agreement of the
United States with France, Switzer-

So many large consignments of in
toyicants have been rushed to New
York that it is probable that never be-
fore has such an enormous quantity
of drink been on hand here at any
