A FASHIONABLE BIBLE CLASS.

The study of the Bible as an anti
is the latest fad in the metropo is, ii
it can be called a fad. The movement
was started by a prominent society
dame who issued invitations to rs
women of her own set to meet at her
house to organize a Bible class.
To her surprise, more than half of
the invited ones accepted, and brought
with them their own Bibles. The class
es have been held for some time. with
an average attendance of As or so,
and the protector points to the sue
cess of her enterprise as a refutation
of the theory that society and frivo
lily mean one and the same thing.
Just how the Bible class operates
as an antidote to the woman suffrage
agitation it is difficult to determine. 1t
is true that the Bible seems nowhere
to encourage women to assume promi-
nence inpolitics or business. ST.
Paul counseled them to keep silent in
the churches.
LET the woman learn in silence with
al subsection" he says in his First
Epistle to Timothy. But Paul is now
rated .as a crusty old bachelor, until
lumined by the modern revelation of
sex-quality. Women who study the
Bible in the light of what is called
the higher criticism will find much Of
the old fashioned doctrine explained
away.
But the Bible class might keep them
from going into the suffrage move
ment by giving them serious occupa
ton and a higher interest in time and
eternity than mere exploitation for
personal notoriety. The fashionab
women's Bible c.ass is an excellent
idea. The example might be followed
with profit in all social centers
1t would relieve the monotony Of
pink-teas and bridge parties, and if it
did not put an end to the latter, would
create, as it were, an alternating cur
rent of interest that would be morally
elevating.

in the, west dec ares that the college
men are the most lawless class of cit

enough charge against college inf1u-

There is certainly some grains of
truth in the charge as far as it ap-
plies to college students, but the law
itself is much to blame for this, as it
handles this class of awbreakers with

Strikes In Pittsbura.

PITSBURG, March 31.-The $4,000
union workers in the soft coal mines
of the Pittsburg district will quit work
at midnight tonight how long the
suspension will be is a matter Of spec
ulati IN:
At the hour named the contract
with the operators expires and in view
of the collapse of a general negotia-
tons at Cincinnati suspension is
deemed necessary until the question
is threshed out locally.
If there be the unexpected announ-
cement between now and Monday that
the operators will grant the demands,
it is possible work will resume next
week. Industrial concerns are known
to anticipate a suspension. possibly
for a month, but at least for two
weeks, and have provided for the
emergency by storing extra coal.
President Francis Fehan of district
No 5 sent word today to Samuel A.
Taylor, secretary of the 'Pittsburg OPP
orators association, that the miners
are ready for a conference on a new
wage scale and working conditions.
The demands are for an increase
of five cents ton on / IA inch screen
coal, making a wage of 95 cents a ton
and a provision that the new explos-
ives ordered by the state mining de-
partment be provided at the same cost
as black powder.

Coal Operators to Confer.

PHILADELPHIA, March 31.-Mem-
luminous Coal Operators association
left here today for Dubois, Pa,
where they will meet officials of the
United Mine Workers tomorrow and
endeavor to adjust the wage scale for
the coming year.
The operators of central Pennsyl
vania, which comprises district No. 2
of the miners union. for some time
have been attempting to have the I'M
ion equalize wages of all miners in
that territory The operators say
they cannot compete with the nom
union mines if the union insists upon
a wage increase. - +
The increase of 5.55 cents ANNOUNCE
ed yesterday by the Berwind White
Coal Mining company, which employs
nom union miners, created much in
terest among the operators employ
ing union labor.
Charles w. Mills, secretary of the
coal operators association of central
Pennsylvania today said:
j, Not Working Under Contract.
THE Berwind- White Coal Mining
company is not working under con-
tract with the United Mine Workers
of America, and on that account is
able to operate collieries ten hours
for days work, while the operators
of central Pennsylvania who have a
wage agreement with the miners or
ganization, work but eight hours. This
longer day is equivalent to a saving
of at least five cents a ton in the cost
of producing coal to the operators who
work ten hours. The Berwind- White
Coal company is also paying for day
labor employed in and about the
mines, 26 40 cents an hour
Operators dealing with the union
pay for the same labor in the same
field so cents per hour. This differ
ence will also amount to a saving of
fully five cents per ton in favor OF
the operator paying lower wage.
"The association of operators in
central Pennsylvania has been for
years asking the miners union to or
ganize the non union districts with
which they compete and during the
last year we have made several efforts
to secure an equalization with nom
union competitors.
While the advance paid by the
Berwind company is not as large as it
should be to place that company on
an equal basis with other operators

WILL SPOT THE sPEEDER.

A clever camera-like device designed
to record accurately the rate of speed
inf automobiles will be welcomed
alike by automobilists and officials OF
the law.
AS described by the. Scientific Amer
lean, the machine consists in large part
of a camera with two lenses so ar
ranged that the second hand of watch
is also included in the picture. The
first exposure shows the automobile
close at hand with the number on the
rear axle. The second exposure shows
the machine further away With the
distance from the lens to the plate
known in each case and the time
shown in the same picture it can be
shown absolutely how fast the ma
chine was going.
With the elimination of all guess
work by the driver or the policeman
by such evidence, convictions of speed
violations will be more frequent. The
machine can be used to good advantage
on crowded city streets because of the
short distance required for its opera
ton.
The majority of automobilists will
welcome this device as one of the
agencies in the elimination of the mi
to the discredit of the whole class.
