The annual ball OF the United Com

the Elks hall Friday evening at Bis

1910 social season of that city, and
one that will be long remembered by
every member OF the huge crowd
which was in attendance. The con-

full dress suits offered a fitting back
srouiad to the many handsome gowns
OF the ladies, and the gay scene OF
festivity and merry making presented
a most pleasing picture. The halt was
beautifully decorated for the occasion.

"a .MATTER az EXPENSES. :

"a MATTER OF EXPENSES. F"
The Black Diamond states that
Che organization Of United Mine
Workers of America, in one
single district, collected from its
members the sum of s64S,0O0 in
twenty.one months, and by the
payment of $4,000 in strike
benefits depleted the treasury.
This shows that for twenty-one
months it had cost at least $500,
900 to carry on the union work.
That paper goes on to say that
the figures show that the union
miners of the bituminous fields
generally are contributing to the
union an average of three cents a
ton or above on the total coal
mined by them. And it makes
the suggestion that eff the min
er is actually bothered by the
higher cost of living, he could
apply bis increased wages toward
that end, cut down his dues to
the union, and actually have
something to put in bank. T"
And the paper adds "We make
this suggestion because we know
the union does not need all the
money which it collects"
Commenting further on the
matter of expense of maintain
ing this union the writer says:
"That expense is entirely too
high; in fact, it seems almost in
credible that such an amount
should have been spent, but we
think we know what became of
it. Here is one example: At
the Cincinnati conference, the
mayor gave to the miners the
freedom of the city. The next
night the police raided an opium
joint, and caught eighteen MIN
ers. The following night, ten of
those miners were caught in an
other disreputable place. On
both occasions the men were
protected by privilege. These
men had spent their mileage and
their convention allowance in
riotous living, and had to be
given an additional appropria
tion. At Peoria, many dele
gates went on a drunk and had
to be gwen an additional allow
ance of $40 apiece. technically
the same thing happened at Des
Moines. Thus much of the reve-
nue. Of the union was squandered
by the delegates, while the care
full, home-stayIng, miner was
starving and their familiesewere
