At Strasburg sounding balloons have
been sent to height of nearly 26.O0e

SPRING HILL MINERS OUT
May Have Their Wages Reduced If
They Lose Strike Begun Today

Spring Hill, n. s., Aug. 10.-At a
meeting of the members of Lodge 463
of the United Mine Workers last night
it was voted to go on strike today
for recognition of their union.
1t is understood that the company
intends to fight to the last ditch. 1t
is further cOntended on their side
that when the men go back it will be
at practically greatly reduced wages.
A gloom overshadows the town.
The conditions here differ greatly
from Cape Breton, in that every man
employed in and about the mine went
out this morning. There is no posi-
binty of telling how long the strike
will last, but the general impression
is that it will be a lengthy one. The
company employs 1000 men.

ing from the west. She opened the
door and leaped out, at the same time
calling to the chauffeur to jump. Don
ley followed Mrs. Turnbull to place of
safety, and a moment later the locomo-
tive struck the car, carrying it about a
hundred feet. The car, which was a
new one, was valued at $1,000.

work, this morning Mr.. Van Dyke had
his automobile driven to the top of a
high cliff of rocks on the Riverside
shore just opposite here. They were
about to return to the camp when the
chauffeur touched the wrong lever and
the machine started forward instead of
back plunging directly over the bank to
the rocks below.

The next editorial is headed, THE
Crusade Against Auto Speeders," in
which the writer seems to be apologize
ing to the automobiles for introducing
the subject. He says, "Those who own
autos are, as rule, careful of the
rights of teams and pedestrians in our
roads. There isn't word of truth
in this sweeping statement as applied
to automoblists generally. Their utter
ignoring of laws regulating speed
everywhere, unless they are closely
watched, is practically universally
known, as has recently been illus
trated in Vermont by an auto trip
of DIR. Webb's son, when, accord
ing to his own statement he violated
the law most grossly in every town
which he passed through. 1t was
also illustrated by our governor s
experience in Massachusetts, where,
when riding himself in his automobile,
he was fined for breaking the speed
laws. The truth is, these laws are bro
ken constantly by nearly all who own or
run automobiles, and will continue to be
unless very stringent measures are
used to prevent it,.
