upon the floor and defended the Can

No, this is not the classified col
umns that you have wandered into by
mistake. Ii is Just a little story OF
one OF the secrets back OF the sicken-
ing disaster at Cherry, H., which
startled you a few weeks ago, and
which you have almost forgotten.
what with Christmas and the happy
holiday season and the many doings
of rapidly-moving world coming I'm
between then and now.
II is n story of what Duncan Nc.
Donald. president OF the Illinois Mine
Workers, told the appropriations COM
mittee OF the Illinois legislature a day
or SO ago about the Big Fact back OF
the Cherry mine holocaust.
Politics rules in the mines" Nc
Donald told them. Mems lives are
snuffed out in these Illinois mines be
cause the laws are not enforced. The
mine inspectors do not enforce the
law in all cases. II they try to enforce
the laws to the letter for the protec-
tion of lives, then they lose their jobs.
The operators influence does that My
brother was discharged because he in
sisted on the laws being enforced in
the mine, and he hasn't been able to
get a Job in a mine since.
within the past six months a COM
mittee of miners from an Illinois
mine came to Springfield to protest
that the laws were not being enforc-
ed. They were taken before the chair
man of the state mine examining
board and roasted good and hard. and
told TO go home. The chairman was
an operator.
1.-The laws are violated in every
mine. Why do the miners permit this
violation" you ask. Because the
inspectors are named on recommends
ton OF the operators. and II the In
spectors get too strong they are re-
moved"
Are you beginning to get some light
on why death stalked down into that
mine at Cherry and reaped an awful
harvest?
Have YOU imagined all along that II
was Just an accident-one of those
unfortunate happenings that arc
bound TO come TO anyone foolish
enough to risk his life In coal mine
The Illinois legislature considered
appropriating $4,000 OF the states
money as a feeble recompense to the
widows and orphans for the lives that
criminal greed had DO ruthlessly taken.
In view Of McDonald's statement, Is
not that amazing?
Such is the record. Day after day
we publish the running history of the
evils that grow out OF the big basi-
ness-poiitical system which blankets
the country from Aldrich's state on
the east TO Ballinger's state on the
west How long is 1t to continue
How long before workingmen VIII
realize that they have 1t within their
power to tear down that system which
robs them, brutalizes them. defeats
their dearest hopes, and. at Will, takes
their very lives?

GEO. FowLE MUCH BETTER.

Recognize Those Attending Him.
Encouraging news comes from the
sick room OF George w. Fowle, who
was stricken a week ago with
apoplexy. that the patient is much
improved and will probably pun
through his present illness. Mr..
Fowle, whose affliction was so serious
that his mental powers were affected
and his speech impaired. is now able
to recognize those about him and to
speak fairly coherently. Owing to
the serious nature OF his illness how
ever. his physicians do not deem 1t
wise for visitors to be admitted to
the sick room and Mr.. Fowle is kept
as quiet as possible.
