Mixing Cake.

Always beat the butter and sugar to
a cream with the hands, then add
little of the flour before you add the
milk; then the milk, then the rest
Of the flour and baking powder, and
last the beaten eggs. This rule applies
to all cakes with butter in.
After putting cake in pans lift tbs
pans up by the side and let drop down
on the table. This causes the air to
rise and prevents cake from falling.

Of Ohio.
THE MINERS CONFERENCE.

John Z. White, president of the miners
union is working hard and fairly to get the
miners convention at Wilkes Barre to ratify the
agreement he made with the owners of the an
thracite mines. The union has lost its grip ON
the miners of eastern Pennsylvania in the last
ten years and its treasury is almost bare on ac-
count OF trying to drum up members. In
1901, the anthracite union had S,437 members
Last year it had only 1905 members, and last
March, after all the excitement and work that
went before the expiration of the old contract
1T had only 1925 members. The funds in the
treasury have wasted away from 81 OPT 120 in
1902, to $i97 2l6 last year
Foreigners in the union are accountable for
the opposition to ratifying the agreement made
by President White, but it is evident that only
very small proportion of the foreigners employed
IN the mines are union men, They are willing to
spend money for the cause though they are the
most dangerous element in the field and are ac-
countabe for all the trouble with officers of the
law. This lack of sense of responsibility is
omin0us OF evil i'll the future. Most of them wish
to save money enough to go back to their native
lands and they live cheaply as possible while
here
President White told the miners bluntly that
their finances would not warrant strike The
anthracite miners in the union number less than
10000 out of total membership of 10000 The
English speaking men in the btuminous fields are
the backbone of the union and they have already
advanced $4,000 to the anthracite men The
bltuminous miners cannot and will not bear the
burden of great anthracite strike when the
anthracite miners have shown so much selfshness
and so little loyalty to their union
rms condition, as exposed by President White
proves the failure of labor unionism in such an
industry. The mine owners cannot recognize a
union which scarcely exists in the ranks of their
employees. Mr.. White himself says only few
men IN the anthracite field interested in the
union But into this field the revolutionists of
the Industrial Workers of the World force them
selves as soon as sign of trouble appears They
wish to destroy the labor unions in order to sub
stitute their brand Of so-called socialism which i
really anarchist in its aim
The true interests of capital and labor are

steady business for capital go together. The more
