In regard to the question Of 'recog

committee OF seven:
Asks Pertinent Question,
when the demand is made that the
anthracite operators shall enter into
contract with the United Mine
Workers of America, II is pertinent to
ask what has been done by this or.
ganization, either as a whole or in
the anthracite region. to carry out
the plan proposed by the Strike Com.
mission OF 1902. This commission. ap.
pointed by the president of the United
States, considered thoroughly the con.
stltution and character of the union
and expressed their opinions about It
with complete frankness.
Mine Workers Inactive.
The commission said distinctly
that the constitution of the United
Mine Workers of America was not
such as to encourage the operators TO
make a contract with IL; and certain
changes that might make satisfactory
trade agreements possible were rec.
commended to the mine workers. Dur
ing the six years elapsed since the
commission did its work, the mine
workers have taken no steps to carry
out these recommendations
What Operators Have Done.
The operators have done their ut.
most to execute the spirit as we'll as
the letter of the commissions award,
not only In respect to the direct rec
concentrations, but In improving gen
eral conditions. They have taken ad.
vantage Of the latest inventions for
the protection OF life, have improved
ventilation and drainage, and have
sincerely endeavored to make work.
ing conditions better both inside and
outside the mines.
in 1909 the suggestions made by
the Strike Commission are still disre
garded None of the reforms which
Il proposed to the mine workers has
been put into effect. A complete an
swer to the demand for recognition OF
the United Mine Workers is that the
Strike Commission, composed of fail
minded and capable men, decided
against 1t and that the reasons which
they gave for their decision exists
now as they existed six and three
years ago"

LapIand Reindeers.

In April the Lapp lets his reindeer
loose to wander as they please, and
when the mosquitoes begin TO abound,
about midsummer. he collects his herd
simply by catching one deer, fitting II
with bell and trusting to instinct,
which leads the animals TO gather into
herds for protection against the mos
quitoes, to do the rest. In cool sum
mer when mosquitoes are few, this
instinct does not come into play, and
it is almost impossible to bring the

a REVELATION TO THEM.

The holding IF the National Farm
ers' Congress In Raleigh did great
good to the State. Governor Harmon,
Of Ohio, who was in Washington this
week, told North C~arolinians hat the
two hundred and fifty Ohio delegates
who were here last month went back
singing the praises of the State OF
North Carolina and said the agricul-
tural and industrial development was
s. revelation to them"
The delegates from other Northern
States carried away the same impress
sion and the result will be beneficial!
to North Carolina IN every way. The
two facts that astounded them most
were: l. Mr.. Bats growing 226 1-2
bushels OF corn on an acre Of ordinary
Wake county land; and 2. MIR. Sirnp-
kins' growing three bales OF cotton on
an acre Of ordinary Wake county land.
They saw samples OF both and some
OF them. being from Missouri or
kin to MiSsourians visited the Bats
and Simpkins farms and satisfied
themselves Of the truth of the state
ments. What these two Wake county
farmers have done has done more to
make the State famous than anything
else IN this decade, and everybody
knows that what Mr.. Bats and MIR.
Simpkins have done other men can do
II they will use the same methods.
