tins are loaded on the hoist, lift
ed to the surface, taken to the
company burying ground, dumped
into hole and covered up. There
is no inquest, no inquiry into the
causes of the accident. The mine
makes no report of the accident.
Above all, the victims relatives
are not notified. For that might
mean damage suits.
There are the facts, and yet the
Alaskan mine regulation bill in
trodueed in congress by Jas.
Wiekersham, delegate from Alas
ka, has slept in subcommittee for
ofeE year, chloroformed by the
lobby of the British owners of the
largest gold mine in Alaska.
+ Wickersham is an insurgent in
congress without a vote. 1t is
startling to hear him tell how the
corporations who are grabbing
Americas richest treasury have
blocked his every effort for decent
Legislation for his people.
His mine regulation bill is not
drastic. He only asks for Alaska
the laws every mining state In this
country has enforced for years.
Yet the Treadwell mine at Juneau,
owned by the English Rothschilds.
has sent lobby to Washington to
defeat the bill, and the bill is de-
feated-pigeonholed by an inter-
|ested subcommittee.
And so we have the sweet spec
tacle of group of foreign mine
owners having more power in
Washington than the representa-
tive of the whole Alaska public.
In his speech before the com
mittee on mines Wickersham told
some Alaskan mining facts that
made the committee (which had
already determined to pigeonhole
the bill) redden to its ears. Here
ARE some of his sentences from the
printed record:
There is no provision of
Alaska law requiring any inquest
in case Of a person killed in
mine.
Each of the political platforms
In Alaska two years ago pro-
nounced in favor of the passage
of law of this kind"
Wickersham said IL was almost
Impossible to get any idea about
the number of men killed in the
mines. The mines give out no in
formation. Most of the mines are
entirely without safeguards
against accidents, on the theory
that "a Hunkey is cheaper than
horse" in Alaksa.
Wickersham said the Treadwell
mine alone has killed So men In
the past 18 months-an average
of 80 men per thousand employed
per year.
The Treadwell's lobbyists at
Washington were Lewis p.
Shackleford, Juneau lawyer,
and ex-Gov. w. B. Hoggatt of
Alaska.
The Treadwell Is the largest
gold mine in the world. It is To-
Gated In Douglas island, mile off
Juneau harbor. 1t produces an
nuaIiy between $2.B00.000 to ss,-
100000. The profits are very
heavy for the British Rothschilds.

This advertisement is filled
with human interest. 1t means
that back in one of the little
|windowless, white plaster houses
of Hungary sits an old mother,
weeping because her boy who
went to seek his fortune in the
new world is lost.
He left with heart swelling
with the hope that the money
would come quickly and he would
be enabled to send for his old
mother and bring her to the land
of opportunity. He wrote often
to her, letters filled with accounts
of the strange sights he was wit
Messing.
And then, suddenly, the letters
ceased. The last one told Of the
job Michael was to get in an Alas
kan gold mine. He promised to
write Immediately and tell her of
his new work. But the promised
letter never came.

word to- tell the mother of her
lost boy. For the chances are a
hundred to one that he has been
killed in some criminally conduct
ed mine, and the mine owners
have thrown the mutilated body
into some unmarked hole in the
ground, never taking the trouble
to ascertain the victims name, let
alone trying to communicate with
the mans relatives.
That's the Alaskan gold mine
as operated at present in defiance
of common decency, say nothing
of human sympathy.
There are no mining regulations
in Alaska. The mine owners, most
of whom operate their mines
without any safeguards against
loss of life, are not lawbreakers,
because there are no laws to break.

Conservation Of Children
is Mothers Congress Platform

The national mothers congress.
which opens it's fourteenth an
nual meeting in Denver tomorrow,
will bring together thousands of
women from all over the country,
either as delegates or visitors, to
discuss the problems OF mother
hood and to promulgate high
ideals of home.
1t will be a holiday excursion
that many mother will find enter
tanning and recreative, after a
strenuous year spent in practicing
upon Young America the ideals
set forth at the last congress.
II will be holiday in which
Young America can share, how
ever. for many mothers will take
their children with them as living
examples of the effects of the
ideals of the congress put into
everyday practice the year round.
And the kids will be provided for.
The Denver Women's club, which
offers its club house for the ses-
sions of the congress, will pro-
vide abundant Fairgrounds for
children of all sizes and ages.
Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker, whose
name is almost a household word
wherever women's clubs flourish,
will be prime factor in making
the big congress a success in her
home city. She is to speak to the
delegates and visitors on 1.-THE
Conservation of the Nation
Greatest Asset-the Chill"
Mrs. Frederick Schoff, presiden;
of the national society, states the
obpects of the congress in this
way:
I'VE want to raise the stand
ards of home life. to develop
wisr, better-trained parenthood. 10
give young people an opportunity
to learn how to care for c lildren,
SO that when they assume the
cares of parenthood they have a
better conception of that care OF
children which is best fitted to
train the child mentally, morally
and physically.
Another important object of
the congress is to bring teachers
and parents into a better under
standing of the ideals and aims of
each. and to promote the forma-
ton of parent-teacher associations
all over the land"
Visitors to the meeting will not
be. limited to mothers alone, for
everyone interested in the child's
welfare is cordially invited to be
present and take part in the dis
cussions.
The women's clubs of Denver
say they will see that mother has
a good time during her visit to
that city. Receptions, luncheons,
automobile drives and pink teas
without number are down on the
program for generous considera-
ton. Other Denver organizations
are planning various amusements
and diversions for the visitors.
Altogether it promises to be a
grand, gala occasion for mother,
and, in some instances, for the
Riddles, too.

Rome, June Terrific earth
quake shocks-the worst since
that OF December. 1908, which

to be dead and many towns de-
stroyed.

have swept the Gulf of Manei-
edonia on the Adriatic. and grave
fears are felt for Bari. city of
so, 600.
The first reports received here
said that the earthquake was
felt through the province of
Pasilieatia and Calabria and in
Sicily as we'll as in Apulia. The
destruction of telegraph wires
left the fate of scores OF towns
in doubt
A special emergency meeting
of the cabinet was called and
relief plans Immediately taken
un. The news was received al
most at the same time at the
vatican. The pope Immediately
retired to his private chapel to
pray 0 the people Of the affect
ed districts.
Special services were held iE
all the churches of Rome.
The shock occurred while the
people were still in their beds.
Many houses at Calatri tumbled
over, burying the occupants in
the ruins. Many leaped to death
or serious injury and others fled
terror stricken from their homes
into the country. Troops we're
despatched from all quarters in
to the affected district as soon as
the loss of life and property
damaged became known to the
government and the officials of
nearby cities. News from
Salerno at the head of the Gulf of
the Salerno, 80 miles southeast
of Naples is to the effect that the
shock was distinct there and
caused considerable damage.
