American Medical Association
Appoints Committee to Aid
in Reducing Accidents.

WASHINGTON Oct. 31.-The crea-
ton by the American Medical asso-
citation and others of a commission on
resuscitation from electric shocks,
which was announced early this year,
has issued a preliminary report in the
form of revised chart Of instruction
to be followed in case of accident.
The chart is printed on heavy card
board and is to be posted in all cleo
trio powerhouses and other places
where injury from electric current is
possible.
While the work of this commission
is most gratifying, the most important
result is the close cooperation which
has ben established between the or
CARNATIONS representing the medical
profession of the country and the cleo
trio light problems.
DR.. J. A. Holmes, director of the
bureau of mines, asked that the medi-
cal members of the commission serve
on a similar committee on resuscita-
ton from poisonous gases. The re-
quest has been complied with, and
commission is now at work on the
new subject suggested.

Governor Of Wisconsin Is Against
Contract Prison Labor
System There.

WHEELING, w. Va, Ost. 31.-The
Intelligencer. published In this city,
in commenting upon the controversy
now existing between the coal miners
in the Paint and Cabin Creek coal
fields, says part:
Zone Of the most serious complaints
of the striking miners is against the
pluck me- store system. In these
mine communities the maintenance of
store by the mine companies is al
most necessity, but it is not neces-
sary, to charge exorbitant prices for
all goods sold to miners, or is it neces-
sary to compel miners to buy of the
company store should they be able
to buy elsewhere.
1.-THE following is a list of prices
charged in the company stores, and
is sworn to by the miners before the
investigating commissions: Flour 1925
per barrel; breakfast bacon, rs cents
per pound; tomatoes, 20 cents a can;
peaches, 80 cents a can; corn, Is
cents can; apricots, rs cents a can;
beans, loose white, Is cents per quart:
potatoes, $2.40 a bushel; lard. Is
cents per poupnd; sugar 1211 cents
per pound; miners oil, 81 gallon;
powder. $1.75 per key; miners
squibs, Is cents per box. 1t will be
seen that this partial list of prices av-
erages from 10 to so per cent higher
than the average market price of the
same goods generally. The company
stores selling at such prices robs those
who buy of it.. Miners compelled to
buy of it lose a considerable portion
| of their wages.
Legislation reaching the. pluck
me- store evil might very properly
be enacted. The Industrial interests
of Wset Virginia are too important
and the cost of such disturbances as
| now prevail in tn mine regions is too
great to permit continuance of the
reckless, haphazard methods that
seem to exist in our mine sections.
The pluck me- store and the armed
guard must 60. Decent living condi-
tons can be introduced in our mine
regions. Men must be paid living
wages and be allowed to spend the
wage free and independently.
"The plea against organized labor
Is unjust and foolish. The miners of
West Virginia are not going to play
into the hands of the miners of Ohio
and Pennsylvania. They have ample
intelligence to protect their own in
terests. and if organized into a union
they will not only be able to protect
themselves against unfair operators,
but they will be equally able to pro-
tect their interests in their district
against the demands of competing

GOVERNMENT ORDERS
PARCELS POST MAPS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The post
master general has awarded the con-
tract for printing 1875, 900 parcels post
maps of the United States to the
geological survey, which submitted the
lowest bid.
Since the parcels post system must
be in operation on Jan. / next, it is
necessary that there be no delay in
the work on the maps, and it is an
nounced by the department that they
will be in the hands of the postmas-
tiers In sufficient time to enable them
to familiarize themselves with the
method of calculating rates for the
new system.
The maps will be printed from en-
graved copper plates, which will be
safeguarded with the same care as
those used for printing money and
postage stamps.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
DON'T LIKE NEW RATES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The ex-
press and railroad companies vocifer-
ously protested before the interstate
commerce commission against the in
auguration of the express rates pro-
posed by the commission.
These companies claim that to es-
tablish rates suggested would result
in a net loss of $33,000,0OO a year in
the revenues of the express companies
and railroads.
The establishment of a parcels post
system by the government, to be ef-
fective the first of next year, has given
the express companies a staggering
blow. They are pleading with the COM
mission to permit them to continue on
the basis Of the present rates.
AS a matter of fact the complete
monopoly to extort whatever the traf-
nc would stand is enacting its closing
scenes in the express business.

THE BETTER PLAN
BY Margaret Scott Hall.
~~~~~~~~->

What's the use to be a cynic?
Be a comforter instead,
Rather compliment the living
Than send flowers to the dead:
Everywhere is tribulation-
Comfort those who know distress.
Cultivate habitual kindness,
And indulge no bitterness.
Grouch1ng never leads to glory,
Knocking ne'er a cause has won,
stumbling blocks strew all life's Jour
ney-
Help the fallen up and on:
What's the use to be cynic?
Give a smile where'er you can,
1t is easier far than frowning
And it is wiser plan. 8:
What's the use to be cynic
When it's pleasanter to grin?
In the path of least resistance
Hope and optimism win;
Happier for ourselves and others
Kindness is the better plan,
Love will overcome all evil,
With the brotherhood of man.

Kler Hardle Again Proclalms His
Faith in Efficacy Of Trade
i Unions,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Upon the
recent visit of Kier Hardie to this
city, he was rendered a banquet at
one of the hotels by the local Social
list organization.
President Gompers, Secretary Nor
rison, and several other trade union
lists were extended invitations to be
present, and President Gompers at
tended.
Kier Hardie is in this country maxi
ing speaking tour in the interest of
the Socialist ticket, and came to
Washington upon his own motion, as
he stated, to call upon President
Gompers and Secretary Morrison, tho
former having been known by Kier
Hardie for many years.
Mr.. Hardie visited the Federation
offices and spent some time in an in
terView and looking through the
offices Of the Federation.
At the banquet Kier Hardie, while,
of course advocating Socialism, made
many pertinent remarks with refer
ence to the trade unions of this
country. There exists in this coun-
try friction between Socialism and the
trade unions, and the shafts from the
Socialists have been particularly di-
rected toward the president of the
American Federation of Labor.
whenever the time comes that
any Socialist or com bination of So
cialists can demonstrate their ability
to build up and maintain as strong
and as effective an organization as
the American Federation of Labor
the direct result Of the efforts of Sam
uel Gompers and his colleagues-then
the Socialists may have some founda-
ton upon which to base their criti-
cism.
The trade unions" continued Mr.
Hardie, ARE not only essential, but
absolutely necessary, and must be
continued in their effective form, and
nothing should be done by the Social
lists or any one interested in the gen.
eral building up Of the workmens
movementsto obstruct or disintegrate
the unions of labor
President Gompers followed Mr.
Hardie and expressed himself as en-
tirely in accord with the utterances OF
the distinguished Britisher in refer
ence to the trade unions, and stated
he could appropriate Hardie's speech
as his own, with the elimination OF
the references to Socialism,.
Mr.. Gompers drew attention to the
fact that the conditions in America
were unlike any other country on the
globe. With it's polyglot population,
its tens of thousands Of immigrants
every year, its increasing colored po-
pulation, and it's threatened invasion
by the people of Oriental countries,
presented a phase that had no COM
parison.
President Gompers emphasized the
fact that the Federation would con-
tinuue in the even tenor Of its way to
carry out it's work as laid down by its
members in the interest Of the work.
ers Of the country, and that the labor
movement of this country would still
continue to work out it's destiny ac-
cording to the concept Of its affliates.
