PARIS, April 22--At a big mass
meeting Of the General Association
of the Postal, Telegraph and Telephone
employees last night it was resolved
that they should organize as regular
labor union. and 1t is thought that
utilization with the General Confeder-
alton of Labor will be effected at once.
It was resolved also that as parlio-
ment never gave any attention to the
interests of functionaries but often
collaborated In expressive measures
against 'them and had shown no
tor1ous incapacity for administrative
questions all proposals for general
statute dealing with functionaries
should be repealed and they should
be left under the common law.
AT general conference of repre-
sentatives of the teachers of the pub
lie schools of France, held here yes
terday. the delegates followed the lead
of the postal employees, and adopted
resolution against the acceptance
of any law which raises a barrier be-
tween the administrative proletariat
and the organized working classes"
The teachers insist that they be
given the right to organize under the
law Of 1884, which includes the right
to strike. ~" r"'-~~.

PlTTSBURG, Pa, April 22.-Har.

twenty miles above Pittsburg, where
1s9 miners lost their lives in one
mine accident several years ago, has
been in a state of excitement tor the
past few days, caused by the eviction

/ The trouble two weeks ago in which
one miner was killed and another
seriously wounded when prisoner

at Harwick was caused, it is alleged,
by the Montenegrians, Of whom about
seventy-five worked in the Harwick
mine. The escaped prisoner has never
been captured ana the company has
about given up all hope of getting him.
The company, for over q week, has
been trying to get the men to go back
to work, they having quit three weeks

there, as the casual observer might
suppose, but-in the smaller cities. And
nowhere are lives held so lightly as
in the smaller cities Of Pennsylvania.
Measured by the deaths by violence
human life is cheapest y in Butler,
Pennsylvania, where the annual rate
is 1874 per 100000 population. Pitts

There was an ominous silence while
Mr.. Truman was reading his paper
and when ! the. customary vote Of
thanks was proposed q miniature
pitched battle ensued. So far as could
be gathered the majority fthe rural
school trustees were opposed to mill
tary training, but there was also
large percentage Of the delegates IN
favor OF the innovation, and as both
sides endeavored for a while to speak
at the same time, there was rather
more noise than oratory. Finally,
however, the vote Of thanks was ten
rered to Mr.. Truman, but the sup

the tax commission, under the present
tax laws have raised the value Of
iron ore lands from So, 900, 900 in 1905
to $180,000,00O last year, thereby in
creasing the state tax levy for state
purposes alone from $114,000 four years

proximately quadrupling the iron ore

The present scientific and thorough
manner of reaching iron ore valuations
by the Minnesota tax commission is
the subject of the admiration and con-
graduation Of the leading tax author

nized as one Of the most marked
achievements in the progress Of state
taxation in recent years. The prog

the prolonged depression incident to
the great Industrial strike at the minea

and general depression Of the iron and

uncertainty and depression that are
certain to follow the enactment of

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles Of the men stand out like
cords.
As . matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm.
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work

Retribution.

She sank back, speechless. Anisty
glanced her up and down without
visible emotion, then laughed I'M
pleasantly-the hard and unyielding
laugh of brute man brutishly impas-
stoned.

served, isn't really as superfluous as
he seems. l find him quite a convent

So" concluded the criminal with
ironic relish-"and so I've got you, my
lady,"
He looked at her in sidelong fash
ion, speculative, calculating, relent-
less. And she bowed her head, as
senting. Yes
You're dead right, little woman.
Got you. Um-mmm."
She made no reply; she could have
made none aside from raising an out
cry, although now she was regaining
something OF her shattered poise, and
with 1t the ability to accept the situa.
ton quietly, for little time (she
could not guess how long she could
endure the strain), pending an. oppor,

prosecutor.

wish with me?"

smile.

her with confident leer, inscrutably

you will think twice before making a
row." he clinched his case. IF you

police to nab and walk us off, the bust
