Morgantown, w. Va.-The position
of Mining Engineering at West Vir
ginia University which Professor Zern,
recently of the University of Pitts
burg, has accepted, is one of great re.
sponsibility and one of great i'm,
portanee to the state West Virginia
stands second among the states in the
production of coal, first in the produc-
ton of gas and first in the production
of oil and gas combined. Her extern
sive deposits of sands, clays, lime
stones and cement making materials
have been scarcely touched To Pro
lessor Zern will come the opportunity
not only of building up and strength
ening the the four year course in coal
and general mining now offered at the
University, but of adding from time to
time the means of specializing in the
other branches of the mining indus
tries demanded for the development Of
the states resources.

The Agricultural Extension Division
of the College of Agriculture of West
Virginia University reports great in
terest is being manifested over the
state in organizing and conducting
Boys and Girls Agricultural Clubs.
Mr.. E. w. Sheets, in charge of this
work, has finished the organization in
thirty counties; nearly 5000 boys and
girls are enrolled and will grow corn
this season. Seed corn will be sent
the contestants from the college.
Each county is offering large cash
prizes and the county winner will com
pete for the state prizes. One boy of
the state will be given a free trip to
Washington, d. c. Many boys ex-
penses will be paid at the Farmers
Short Course at the College of Agri.
culture anuary 18th to 18th, 1913.
This movement will be the means
of wonderfully increasing the yield
of corn per acre in the state and will
be an inspiration for the boy to remain
on the farm.

GREAT INTEREST IN PRUNING
AND SPRAYING OF FRUIT
TREES.

The Agricultural Extension Division
Of the West Virginia University has
been flooded with applications for
demonstrations in pruning and spray
ing of fruit trees. Six instructors of
the College and Experiment Station
are now out over the state doing this
work. Applications are still coming
in, but the department has been com
PEELED to refuse demonstrations to
these latter applications on account of
the lack of men and funds with which
to carry on the work. This first
demonstration is being given for the
spraying to kill the San Jose Scale
and will be followed by second
demonstration at the time of spraying
for the codling moth, at which time
the new applications will receive due
consideration.

Mr.. II. P. Thorn recently became the
purchaser of this property It is
possible that he will erect three
story brick building at this point. The
first floor will very likely be devoted
to q moving picture theatre and the
upper floors to lodge rooms and a

Elementary Courses.

Elementary courses will be offered
at the University for the training of
mine foremen, operators and inspec-
tors and, through the cooperation of
the State Department OF Mines, it is
hoped that extension courses can be
given in the various mining districts
of the state, to the end that the en-
gineering in the mines of the state
shall be of the highest possible stan
dard and the mines operated with the
least possible waste and the greatest
possible safety to life and health.
Professor Zern is assured in ad-
vance of his coming of the co-opera-
ton of the East Virginia Mining Insti-
tute, the State Department of Mines
and the Faculty Of the College of En-
gineering and the President and Facul'
ty of the University.
1t is believed by those who are in a
position to know that mining engineer
ing, especially coal mining, can no
where be taught better than in West
Virginia and at the West Virginia
University. Now that a trained and
talented man, Professor Edward
Nathan Zern, who has an intimate
knowledge of the coal deposites and
coal mining operations of the state,
has been added to the engineering
faculty of the University, there will be
no occasion for the young men of
West Virginia to go elsewhere for
training in mining.

NEW TOWN OF BERKELEY.

Watch the new town at Berkeley
Station grow. Yesterday in both dai-
ly papers was printed a statement
that the Cumberland Valley Railroad
would build fourteen miles of new
tracks from Hagerstown to Berkeley
Station. This means the employment
of a good many people. The Security
Lime and Cement Plant employs near
ly five hundred people at Berkeley
Station and the B. e o. Railroad is
spending a million dollars in improve
ments nearby.
There are a number of new houses
there and more will be built this
spring. There is no better place for
investment either in lots or houses to
rent than Berkeley Station where
tenants are furnished and rents guar
anteed.

REVIEW COMES TO LIFE.

After suspending for one issue, the Review issued
again last week. We said in previous issue that
the Review would probably be subsidized by of
the old political parties, and in its first issue after
its revival it comes forth with garng headlines
tending the top of the front page declaring
that Woodrow Wilson condemned by the New
Jersey Federation of Labor last August. There is
article following this statement. The reader will
wonder why those lines put there; but those
lines but sequel to the suspension two weeks
ago. The Review owed close to a thousand-doar
printing bill The first publication since its revival
was mailed at a loss of at least $50. Who paid the

is published in behalf ~ of the workers"G Who
is paying the bills Who the men behind the
paper that claim the right to speak for organized
labor? Union men of Denver have a right to know
who the 'philanthropists'' are that being paid
to tell the workers who vote for and who fur

prove that Governor Wilson condemned by the
New Jersey Federation. The Bulletin has among
its records different expression. The labor ofic
ials back of the Review should be ashamed to de-
friend of organized labor for gold, and the
State Federation of Labor should be forced to with
draw its endorsement from paper that is conduct

TheBeet Fields
Are a Cause for Action, According to
This Writer---Comment on
Legislation.
(By ]. l. Compton.)

Congressman Martin, in a letter to the
Trades Assembly, says that he is sorry
that he cannot see his way clear to sup
port the Democratic doctrine of tariff
for revenue only, but must vote for a
high protective tariff for sugar. It's the
only thing, he says, that will save the
beet sugar industry from destruction. He
also says, "Of course l know full well
that no one in Colorado is in favor of
wiping out the great and growing beet
sugar industry of that state" Now let's
see about that. Who is benefting by
the sugar Industry Surely not the COM
mon people, nor the laborer. The condi-
tions in the beet sugar industry are the
worst, like any other trust industry. The
ordinary American laborer cannot work
in the beet fields because of the condi-
tions prevailing. He has to enter into
competition with pauper labor at prices
he could not exist on. The beet sugar
trust imports the lowest class of labor
in the world-lowest in pay received and
lowest in standards of living. OF what
benefit is that to the common people
and the well-paid labor of the state?
The sugar trust prevails, by misleading
statements, on the farmers to grow
beets, thereby confining their product to
one market. The beet sugar trust, they
put an arbitrary price on it. Take it or
leave it they say. The farmers had to
call strike on the trust in order to get
a fair price for their beets. If these
farmers had planted the ordinary divers
flied crop, they would have had the
whole country as a market. But no,
They were at the mercy of the sugar
trust Who cares whether such kind of
growing industry survives or not. Only
few interested persons who are max
ing fortunes out of it at the expense of
the common people Such industries
had better be throttled in their infancy
than allow them to gorge and fatten on
the public.

a strike as If the Erdman Act had never
been passed. Even in cases where the
provisions of the act are invoked by one
party. the other party is under no legal
obligation either to accept the tender OF
friendly offices made by the mediators
or to submit the matters at issue to the
arbitration provided for in the law. In
this respect this federal law differs from
the Canadian Industrial Disputes Inyes-
tigation Act, which forbids either en-
ployers or employees in the industries to
which that act applies to inaugurate
either lockout or a strike until after
the matters in dispute have been SUBJ
mitted to an investigation and a report
has been published by an investigation
board.
Mediation More Important Than Arbi-
tration.
At the time the Erdman Act was
passed practically all the discussion was
focused on its arbitration features and
little attention was given to its provi-
sions for mediation. Experience has
shown, however, that the latter are the
more important and efficacious features
ofNthe law. OF the forty-four cases in
when mediation under the act has been
invokedS only eight have been carried on
to arbitration. These figures do not show
the whole dispFoportion, however, for in
each of these eight cases the greater
part of the matters in controversy were
settled by mediation. and only few of
the points were carried to arbitration
In addition to these four other cases
were arbitrated under the provisions OF
the Erdman Act. these cases having
been submitted to arbitration directly by
agreement between the parties in con-
troversy without first inSoking the med
iation proceedings of the act.
Under the provisions of the law ap-
plications for mediation may be made
by either side. In the forty-eight cases
of mediation and arbitration in which
the act has been invoked. applications
have in nineteen instances been made
by the railroad companies involved. in
thirteen cases by officers OF organiza-
tions representing the employees in
volyed and in sixteen cases by repre-
sentatives of both parties to the contro-
versy. The applications made by the
employees approach in number those
made by the companies. but cover pro-
portionately a much smaller mileage
and involve a smaller number of en-
ployes. This is due to the fact that
when a really serious strike is threat
ened II is naturally the company rather
the employees which invokes the friendly
offices of the mediators.
