LABOR WARM SWEDEN.

A labor war throughout SEeden that
is scheduled to begin today threatens to
develop 10 Stockholm into something
approaching a miniature revolution. The
trouble will be enormously aggravated
by the present general strike and lock-
out. The members of the young socia-
list party a:e striving to give the move
meOt a REVOLUTIONARY character.
The situation has suddenly taken 80
serious a turn that King GuStave has
summoned the members Of parliament to
Stockholm, and special session OF the
rigsdsg is expected.
1t is expected that the present total Of
about 100 900 idle workmen will be
largely Increased by today.
The labor conflict that is at the bot.
tom of this trouble originated In dis-
pute over wages in the WOODEN and co..
ton industries. Ia the beginning 13, 900
men we're locked out, and other indus
tries since have become involved, until
Moudsy. The Employers Federation
declared lockout of the iron foundry
hands, numbering about 80, 900 men. A
total of so, 900 men we're reported locked
out Monday, and their numbers are in
crtasing rapidly.

TAFT ON RAILROAD BATTING"
Not in Favor Of Legislation Against

CORPUS Christi, Texas, Oct. %.
President Taft had something
to say here Friday morning on
another railroad agitation, and
he SAID il with Governor Tom
Campbell, one of the recent
southern crusade against the
railroads, on the same platform
with him.
~ am not in favor Of legisla-
ton against the railroads." said
the President, Except when it
is necessary to keep them with

He went on to say that the
average community readily
voted bonds to get a railroad,
ana then when the payment of
thd interest on the bonds began
w kfl tlIS5OuIc, huc CO'Ill Iullil
undertook TO legislate against
the road. The result was that
thd Equipment of the road de.
tertprated, it was unable to earn
a fair income on ITS investment,
andsthe community's accommo-
dations fell off. The commune
ty, in effect, was cutting off its
nose to spite its face"
'9fhen, said he, "they realize
that the only good and honest
coutse is the square deal to-
ward the railroads, so as to give
theh a reasonable return on the
money invested" The crowd
cheered, and Governor Campbell
looked ANYTHING but enthusiastic.

greet any speaker than the one
that Governor Wilson faced
Saturday afternoon at the
Tabernacle in Madisonville, and
there has scarcely been Il larger
meeting there, for the reason
that the building was full 10 its
capacity, with many standing.
The Klub Kentuck Band pre-
ceded the carriages occupied by
the Governor and members of
the recepti on aud enter tain
ment committee and candidates,
escorting the speaker from Hotel
Mary To the Tabernacle. The
distinguished visitor was enter
tanned at luncheon, together
with the committee, Mr.. &. j.
Waddill, candidate for Circuit
Judge, and other candidates. A
large number of ladies sat in the
audience and some of them even
found seats in the balcony on
account of the crowded condl-
ton on the main floor. The
band rendered music before and
after the speaking, including
"My Old Kentucky Home" ami
was much complimenteG both on
appearance and the manner IN
which the music was rendered.

twin girls had been selected by
the committee to present bou-

explanation by Mr.. Waddill,
they did their part IN that pretty
ceremony and received in turn IA
touching tribute from The
speaker. Letcher Fox, char
man of the committee, intro
duced Gov. Wilson ina few
words.
The Governor made a speech
of good will and good sense and
good humor, amounting 10 al
most exhortati0n to nelghbOrs,
Republicans and Democrats, to
dwell together in harmony, call
no ugly names, preserve their
good humor and dwell together
in harmony-even during pollt-
ical campaigns. He maintained
that Democrats had quite as
much right 10 their opinions
and to have their opinions re.
spected, as the Republicans, and
held that conditions are always
better in counties or districts
that are close politically than in
those which have been dOmi-
mated for long time by either
party. He defended the present
administrative against various
attacks that have been ma'i"
upon it, in very frank and eff
feetiYe manner, and had the
sympathy and applause of the
audience, generally, throughout
the meeting.

ically gone in % wears. One
can readily preceive that, With
only ceniury's supply at tho
present rate of mining and in
view of the greatly increased
production which can not fail to
come with our growth in pop
ulation, fifty years is a liberal
estimate for the life of the Pitts
burg coal bed. The same causea
will in approximately that time
exhaust all of the cheaply mined
thin VEINS in the Allegheny &C.
rles of Pennsylvania, Ohio. and
northern West Virginia, 4, and
Pittsburg's industries win have
entered upon the expensive
method of mining coal by deep
shafts to thin bed of inferior
quality, and of attempting to
recover at great expense the
millions of tons of good fuel al
ready left in the pillars. roofs,
and bottoms of abandoned
mines. This is no fairy story.
1t is as sure to come to pass at
approximately. fifty years In
the future, if present wastefui
methods continue, as that the
sun will rise tomorrow.
Present Waste Of Fuel, asa,
The citizens of Pennsylvania, y
and especially of the Pittsburg
district, have already wasted
more of their precious fuel sup
plies, both solid and gaseous,
than they have ever used. The
quantity of natural gas, that
best of all the fuels, which west
ern Pennsylvania has wasted
from the many thousands Of
wells drilled within her borders,
vastly exceeds in value all the
petroleum she has ever produced.
Not satisfied with thus despoil-
Ing their own commonwealth Of
ITS most precious fuel possession,
some of the most powerful cor
pora tions, with headquarters ia
Pittsburg, have been the princi-
pal agents in wasting unnumber-
ed billions of cubic feet of THIS
precious fuel in Ohio ana West
,-s
Needs of Conservation.
The story of "Coal Oil John
by" is being re-enacted by the
Pittsburg district and many 9th
er districts of our country on an
enormous scale, and the final re-
suits, although "a little longer de-
layed, can not fal to be similar.
On the one hand we perceive
our fuel resources reduced by
this barren zone to one-half OF
what were supposed to be readl-
lv and cheHply accessible, and
on the other, these resources SO
greatly depleted by unDridled
waste that IN only few years
at most cheap fuel will have
passed into history from this
great district. But just as sure
ly as the successful past and
glorious present have been
founded upon unravaled resource
es in cheap fuel, so surely will
these great industries decline
and die with its disappearance.
"Mene, Meme, Tekel, Upharsin"
will be written large over the
gateways of the Pittsburg dis
trict before the present century
closes, unless the men who own
the mines and factories awake
at once to the danger that por-
tends.-PRoF &. WHITE, in Bull
