IMMIGRANTS IN COAL MINING
IN MIDDLE WEST.

Following close on the report Of the
immigration commission on conditions
among the bituminous coal miners in
Pennsylvania, a report has been made
public by this commission treating Of
immigrants in the bituminous coal
mines In the Middle West The com
missions study In the Middle West Is
based on detailed information from al
most 1900 mine employees and about
200 households OF mine employees.
It Is not a bright picture that Is
painted Of the conditions Of the immi-
grant miners in the Middle West. The
foreign-bOrn employees are largely from
southern and eastern Europe. Most
OF them, before coming TO America.
had been farm laborers or farmers,
without mine experience OF any sort.
Although the commission does not dis
cUss effects OF this inexpeTience, there
Is no doubt that, as IN Pennsylvania,
1t has much 10 do with the large mum
Der OF mining accidents The earnings
per day average - cents higher than
in Pennsylvania, but owing to the time
lost the average yearly earnings for
male heads of families is S472. For
those of foreign birth, it Is only S444.
A small per cent of wives add TO the
family income by keeping boarders or
dodgers.
On the whole, the conditions, though
gloomy enough, are noticesbly better
than in the bituminous mine fields OF
Pennsylvania Political interest Is
stronger, and there Is a marked dis
position to become uaturalized. Hous-
ing conditions are much better than in
Pennsylvania, the commission saws.
Approximately half Of the families
studied own their own homes. the pro
portion being very much greater tl.an
IL the Pennsylvania bitumin6us fields.
Conditions OF work also, are better.
Throughout the Middle West the eight
hour day prevails, owing TO the fact
that union agreements practically con
troll every mine The company store
system : not so rigid and company
houses are less common
The superiority of the Middle West

sis laid thereon by the commission 5
report ought 10 help IN improving the
situation in western Pennsylvania Ma
tional and State authorities would do
well TO exert an influence IN this d.

UPPER MARLBORO, No. Aug IL
For years Southern Maryland has been

It has been pointed TO as the only
section Of its State yet uudsveloped. It
has been described as a splendid field

All that has been said Of the posi-

The most important opportunity which
Marlboro offers Washington and the

RUSSIAN CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
MENACES WORLDS HEALTH.

The cholera epidemic IN Russia mas
reached such proportions that IT Is
not too much to say that it menaees
the health of the world. Prof. Rein,
Of the University Of St. Petersburg,
estimates that $1,000 persons have
persisted from the disease the current
year. The sanitary officials of the
Russian cities have lost control of 1t
and it is now seourging the rural dis
tricts
/ That the epidemic in Russia Is at
tanning the proportions Of one Of the
worst in history IS clear In view OF
the unsanit2rv- and filthy conditions
IN which many of the Russian pOpula-
ton live, 1t Is extremely difficult to
check It.
Latest advises are that Germany is
greatly disturbed over the situation
and that extreme precautions are be
ing taken. The German government Is
convinced that the safety not only OF
Germany, but Of all western and
southern Europe depends on the ef=
fciency Of its sanitary posts on the
Russian border Once spreading Ove-
Europe, 1t need not be said there would
be grave danger Of communication 81
the disease to this country.
Fortunately, the United States,
through the Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service. is so well guarded in
d sanitary way that 1t viii probably
escape invasion but there cannot be
any real security so long as a great
European nation so far neglects 70
enforce the commonest laws Of SAM
tation and thus invites visitation OF
disease IN d manner that puts It al
most on a level with a government OF
the Middle Ages.
