Workers of the World
BY PETER POWER.

The demands will be: recogni-
'tion of the union in the anthra-
cite districts. more wages, and
possibly a six-hour workday be-
low the surface, along with a
number of minor concessions.
The wage scales expire next
year, and. all the miners are dis
satisfied with present conditions.
The chief complaint in the anthra-
cite region is that the coal barons
are constantly endeavoring to de-
stroy the union. In the bitum-
inous fields the men average only
three or four days work per
week.

IN CALIFORNIA.
suffragette Leaders Beginning Already
to Line Up the Vote for Coming
Presidential Primary.

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. 27.-Accord-
ing to q census quietly made under
the direction of the Women's Pro
gressive league Of this city, the re-
suits Of which have just been made
public, there are 670,140 women eligi-
BILE to vote in California, as against
$4,000 men who were registered at
the October election.
Mrs. oliver c. Bryant, chairman Of
the civic betterment committee of the
league, said that 1t would be the work
of the organization and the kindred
associations all over the state to
carry on campaign Of education to
those already registered and to regis
ter the number who SO far have not
availed themselves of the right Of cit
izenship. The clubs will be confront
ed with the task of explaining the
voting system for presidential prim-
aries, which will be a sort of second
course to the one conducted here
previous to the municipal election.
Mrs. Bryant says that the league
will make great effort before the presi-
Dental primaries in this state May
70 to have all these women registered
and show them why in registering
they must state their political affilia-
tons.
ut will not be sufficient that they
say they are progressive or good gov
eminent or something of that sort.
They must state whether they are
Republicans of Democrats to receive
ballot at the polls if they would cast
vote for President" Mrs. Bryant
said. She explained that the work of
this committee would in no way in
terfere with the civic association.
The women politicians are exuber-
ant at the showing and hint that they
can control the state government any
day.

COMBINE TOGROW
BEEF IN BRAZIL
American and Canadian Capitalists
IN Gigantic Undertaking.
SYNDICATE TO RAISE HOGS ALSO
Has Secured Nine Million Acres From
Brazilian oovernment-Wili Run
lie Own Line Of Steamers
to Market Product.

Washington, Dec. 27.-A combina
ton Of American and Canadian cap
italists has been formed to undertake
in Brazil the largest beef producing
project in the world. The head o.
this concern is Murdo Mckenzie Of
Colorado, former president Of the Ma
tional Live Stock association. He has
been engaged for a term Of years by
the syndicate at salary of $4,000 q
year.
The syndicate has bought from
the Brazilian government 100000
acres Of land excellently adapted for
range beef production. 1t is for the
most part level pampa, well watered
with lagoons and streams and with
a water level easily reached by wells
OF from Is to 40 feet depth and with
q soil that ranks as one of the most
fertile In the world. Cattle can Craze
In all parts of this great tract through
out the entire year and be growing
every day. IVA,
The tropic Of capricorn passes
through the tract and the temperature
is such that calves may be born at
any time in the twelve months with
out danger from freezing or from
storms Of any kind such as the West
ern ranchman has to fear and pro-
tect against.
The syndicate intends to export to
Europe and has sought to obtain the
services Of noted government ex-
pert on meat inspection whose name
and executive ability would at once
command the confidence of all mar
kets. 1t is understood that the salary
offered this expert is $4,000 year.
The headquarters Of the syndicate
in Brazil will be San Paolo, the cap
ital of the state of San Paolo, which
lies at the southern end of Brazil,
Santos is the port for San Paolo and
1t is $50 miles north of Buenos Aires.
Eventually the syndicate will run its
own line of steamers with every up
to-date facility for refrigeration. The
aim will be to produce chilled beef
the prospect is that Great Britain
ind Germany would not make con-
cession to Brazilian live beef even
under the conditions Of the best Amer
