deep and lasting impression on the mem
bers of the committee.
One witness testifying before the com
mittee from the Iron City Trades Coun
ell said that the men came out of their
own violition; conditions were rotten
wages had been reduced and the size OF
cars constantly increased. Day workers
averaged about $3.50 for ten hours, while
miners earned about SO per day for four
teen hours. The men were compelled to
patronize company stores and called on
the carpet if caught buying elsewhere.
In his home town, Latrobe, the men
were even compelled to drink certain
brands of beer About $500 men in
that town met and decided to strike,
even before they were organized.
Another witness said that the men
were simply forced to strike for their
own protection, wages were reduced
from SO cents in 1905 to So cents in
1910. They were also compelled to pay
cents per day for safety lamps. They
had no acknowledgment. The men were
cheated, the company securing from 25
to 80 wagons of coal bonus each day.

DESPERATE STRUGGLE IN IRWIN

According to a special dispatch to the
New York Call Samuel Gombers, of the
American Federation of Labor, has di-
rected a letter to Governor Stuart ask
ing him to investigate conditions in tn"
Irwin coal fields in Westmoreland county
where a desperate strike has been in
progress for nine months.
The state to which these brave mine
workers and their families are reduced
is terrible. For months hundreds of peo-
pie have been living in tents with starvT
ton staring them in the face day by
day. Still their spirit is wntamed.
When an investigating committee re-
Gently visited the camps in this district
they were surprised to find how firmly
the miners had made up their minds to
stay out.
One camp visited was Salemville. Here
the committee interviewed James Camp
err, Charles Kalina and Anton Yellig. All
the men interviewed denied that any
outside influence had brought about the
strike; that the oppression of the OPP
orators was alone responsible and that
they were out to remain until relief was
assured and the strike settled.
At this camp the women were even
more pronounced in their condemnation
of the operators and in strong language
declared that they would not let their
husbands return to work under the old
conditions, using force, if necessary, to
prevent them from so doing.
The wonderful spirit of determination
shown by these people in the face of
the many hardships endured, proof of
which was everywhere visible, made

Lighthouse Without a ks.per.

What do you think of a perpetual
lighthouse, needing no keeper and yet
as regular in its flashes of light as
one maintained by the government"
asked Albert d. Van Wyck.
This natural light never fails, and
that means much for navigation. 1t
is volcano on the island of San Sal
vador, This volcanic lighthouse is
about eight miles inland from the port
Of Acajutla. 1t is veritable pillar
of cloud by day and the fash of its
light by night has been valuable to
mariners for years: 1t can be seen
far out at sea and burst of flame
has gone upward every seven minutes
without the variation of second for
many years.
"A lighthouse fee is collected of all
vessels that put in at the harbor near
est the volcano and no skipper OBJ
1ects. He knows that the volcano is
more reliable than the lighthouses
kept by human beings on other coasts
and the novelty of the light is worth
the price charged by the government"

TEXAS SALT LAKE MYSTERY

BY some peculiar chemical process
that is not understood by scientists
who have investigated the subject, ma
ture is able to convert food water
into salt deposits upon a gigantic
scale in the bed OF Shafter lake, a
body of water more than 1000 acres
in extent adjoining the little town Of
Shafter Lake. Texas. This lake is one
OF the wonders of the southwest. 1t is
tation and is within so miles of the
New Mexico line For more than a
quarter of a century and as far back
as there is any historical record the
Indians and white people OF the terri
tory within 500 miles of what is now
called Shafter lake have obtained their
salt supply from this storehouse of
nature. Wagon trains still make their
long journeys to and from the lake,
carrying the crystal salt to ranches,
mining camps and towns.
1t is shown by repeated tests that
there is no alkali in the soil of the
scope of territory that uses the lake
as its natural drainage basin, and
this fact is borne out by 1.-THE purity
Of the flood water. But within few
hours after the water enters the lake
it becomes so impregnated with salt
that a white crust forms upon the
surface, resembling snow. In the
shallow places the pure water is
quickly replaced with solid mass of

There Is no novelty in the state
ment, which has been repeated by ev-

Turkey, that the greatest part Amer
lea has In the awakening OF this en-
pire-and no other nation has had a
greater--is through the American
schools, which have leavened the
whole lump with American ideals.
These are breaking down, to some de-
gree, the religious sectarianism which
is the curse OF the country. They are
even making the new generation OF
Moalems tolerant. A case In point is
that Of the Maronites, who were so
bitter that they would not even let O

to say, is a socialist. They claim to

Orient the one-price principle can be

Like the Inflated American colony
at Jaffa, this one was started on
peculiarly religious basis. A Chicago
lawyer and his wife came out here to
wait for the return Of the Messiah.
They held extreme views on many sub

Hard times eventually drove them to
work, and now, while the religious as
