there is this difference, that the Poles
must not in any sense Of the word be
confused in this connection. The truth
of the matter is great many Poles
are emigrating to Denmark these days
from Russian Poland, OF course, like
the Films, to escape Russian Oppres
sion. They come in large numbers
and it is beginning to worry the Danes
a little bit. There are not less than
10000 Poles in Denmark at present
and last year these industrial people
earned in Denmark not less than g.
100000 crowns. A great deal OF this
money was sent to their people in
their native land. The Polish work
ingmen are as a rule an excellent peo.
pie, but the trouble is that they are
willing to work for less than the Dan
ish workingmen are and that is just
where the real trouble comes in.

and The Herald, for one, believes
that this policy will be carried
out to the letter
The American Mining congress
has accomplished much the past
year, and from the present out
look it is believed it will accom-
plish much more in tie future. 1t
is due entirely to the efforts of
the American Mining congress
that the government bureau of
mines was established last spring.
The establishment of this bureau
gives the mining men of the
country direct voice at Wash,

mining legislation, and in conse-
quence great good IS pound 10

The American Mining congress
has been most vigilant in pro-
tecting, the mining interests
through persistent effort among
the lawmakers at Washington.
The congress has grown both in
numbers and prestige the past
year and is now to hold its great
est convention.

congress is not to be commended.

have gained host of followers
Although many western mining
men differ in their views from
those held by Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Pinchot, it is not at all inn
probable that in the end the two
factions will find that they have
much in common.
1t is inconceivable that either
Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Pinchot
would voluntarily work an unjust
hardship on any class of men,
and least of all on the rugged
westerners whom they so much
admire. This mining congress
will afford an opportunity for the
manifestation of a "get together
spirit, the result of which should
be the adoption of policy that
will be for the best interests of all.
But whatever action is taken
at this congress it will be well to
remember that of all the figures
in public life in recent years none
has made the record for honesty
of purpose and accomplishment
of good th23 has made the name
of Theodore Roosevelt famous,
and following in his footsteps is
Clifford Pinchot.
Hence in this greeting to the
American mining congress The
Herald bespeaks for all fair
hearing, and urges a spirit of toll
erance and fair play that has al
ways been an attribute of the true
westerners. The oil and mining
industry has attained such PRO-
portions that thorough study
should be made of conditions be-
fore further legislation is att
tempted.
The discussions to be held dur
ing this congress will be of in
estimabte benefit in bringing
forth the views of experts along
all the various lines.
The policies outlined by Col.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Pinchot have
been criticised frequently by
mining len who will attend this
convention, but it may develop
that this policy of Messrs. Roose-
Welt and Pinchot, after it has been
explained by the latter and fully
discussed, will be found entirely
consistent with good mining as
practiced in the west.

Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-25
Greeting
OS ANGELES greets the

0S ANGGLEO SlCCto IiiS
mining men of the country
IL who have journeyed here
for the purpose of attending the
thirteenth annual convention of
tl-s American Mining congress,
which bids fair to be the greatest
gathering of its kind ever held in
the United States.
Los Angeles doors are open to
all, and the glad hand of fellow
ship is extended as 20 other city
in the country can extend so well
as the metropolis of the great
southwest lining region.
Those who enter need have no
fear but that they will be well re-
ceived, for Los Angeles stands
today one of the best visitors and
convention cities in the entire
world.
Delegates to the annual con-
vention of the American Mining
congress have weighty questions
to discuss, and we are all anxious
to hear all sides, this that legisla-
ton may be urged at Washington
suitable to all branches of mining.
We all have our opinions, the
same as has Mr.. Roosevelt, MIR.
P;nchot and the anti-conserva-
tionists, some being for and some
against the issue which has be-
come a great national problem.
We wish to hear all these opin-
ions and be governed by the best
Judgment of the best informed
people who are laboring for the
good of the mining interests OF
the country.
This-congress is not a political
gathering. 1t is commercial in
the broad sense, and for this rea-
son rolitica should not be permit
ted to prejudice the delegates. AS
we Of Los Angeles understand it
this convention is for the purpose
Of getting the mining men of the
country together for the mutual
benefit of all, regardless of poll
tics and the man.
Mr.. talibreath, who has labored
for long time in the interests of
the American Mining congress as
its secretary, has assured the peo-
pie of the southwest nat this con-
vention will be in every respect
an impartial one, that free dis
