Which Have Taken Place
Since 1900.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The suspension

general Labor disturbance in the indus
try in 70 years. In 1900 the miners
struck six weeks; in 1902 they were
out five and 4 half months and in 1906
they again suspended work for six
weeks In the 1900 and 1902 strikes
the coal diggers, through the United
Mine Workers of America, won an
increase in wages and readjustment
of working conditions. In neither
struggle however, did the organiza-
ton obtain what it has in some of the
bituminous fields-straightout recog-
milton of the union.

fore congress the necessity of cutting
down this very clerical force, and as
consistently and regularly discour-
aged any historical students from in
specting the records.
There are those in Washington who
say that General Ainsworth's resigna-
ton has cleared the way for the new
order of things about to be inaugu-
rated. At any rate, the records here
after will be open.
1t will be difficult to estimate what
an enormous loss to American history
these regulations have entailed. The
military archives of the United States
contain much else than simply the rec
ords of military operations. AS one
man has put it:
The army was so largely the ad'
vance guard of American civilization
in it's westward march across the con
tinent that the archives contain a
great wealth of material for the un
derstanding Of pioneer conditions and
the early history of all parts of the
United States but the Atlantic sea
board.

ington.-Within a few days
the military archives housed in the
war department in Washington will
be made accessible to students and in

and investigators for years have been

Story of q Bible,

A case that had to do with the theft
of Bible was before the grand jury
some time ago and after it had been
disposed of, George w. Seibert, fore
man of the jury, related a story in
which Bible figured prominently. Mr..
Seibert said that his mother had CIV
en- him an old-fashioned family Bible
when he married. About two years
after his marriage Mr.. Seibert needed
money, he said, and had almost de-
cided to dispose of the Bible. When
such thoughts were occupying his
mind, Mr.. Seibert picked up the Bible
one day and began turning over the
leaves of the book. He had passed
over several pages when his eyes fell
on two $50 bills. His mother had
placed them in the Bible when she
had presented the book to him. Mr..
Seibert still has the Bible.-lndian.

Big Loss By Country's Strikes

The 1902 strike was the greatest in
the history of the country. The union
asked for a 20 per cent. increase in
wages, a reduction in hours from ten
to eight a day and recognition of the
union. The strike lasted from May
10 to October %. Nearly $4,000
workers were idle and thousands of
railroad and other workers were
thrown out of employment. The en-
tire national guard of Pennsylvania,
about 10000 men, were called into
service before the struggle came to
an end.
Loss Was over $1ooooo,ooo.
President Roosevelt was instrument
tai in bringing the two sides together
and TO agreeing to the appointing of
the anthracite coal strike commission
to arbitrate the differences. The COM
mission visited many mines and ex-
amined 55S witnesses between Octo-
Der, 1902 and February. 1903. 1t
awarded a 10 per cent. increase in
wages to miners and reduced the hours
of the men from ten to nine day.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1912-04-26

1t also created the board of concilia-
ton, to which has been referred most
of the grievances that have arisen
since the commissions awards were
made. The commission estimated the
losses occasioned by that strike as fol-
lows: Decrease in coal production,
24,604, 4S2 tons. Decrease in receipts
of coal companies, $46,100000. Wages
lost by men, $25,00e,OOO. Miners re-
lief fund, $1,S00000. Decrease in coal
freight, $2S,000,000.
The award of the strike commission
remained in force three years until
1906. when it was renewed for anoth
er period of three years after the min.
ers had suspended work for about six
weeks. When this agreement expired
on March 81, 1909, the miners did not
stop, but agreed to continue operations
pending the negotiations of working
arrangement. After comforting until
30 days after the agreement of 1906
had expired, the commission award
was again put into effect for another
three years.
The anthracite miners began to pre-.
pare for the present trouble last fall,
when they held a convention at Potts
vile, Pa, and formulated demands.

POINTER HERE FOR FARMER
one Good Thing, at Least, That He
May Place to the Credit OF
the Auto.

The farmer may not venerate the
automobile, but he must admit that'
although the automobile teaches 9TH
ers extravaganza, it has taught MIN
a very valuable lesson in economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice, or
aphis, overrun and destroy plants ana
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly.
But of late years farmers have no
ticed that, while all the plants in field
or garden were covered with aphis'
al, the roadside growths, white with
4dust from flying automobiles, had not
Ia single aphis on them
Hence an experiment. Turnips, peas
and cabbages were coated with ordi-
nary dust instead Of costly powder.
Result disappearance of all insect par
asites.
The automobile, in a word, has
taught the farmer that dust, which
costs nothing, will protect his plants
from plant lice and other pests just as
completely as the most expensive
powder can.

Bad Teeth Go With Coed Brains.

An English scientist has pointed cut
that there are signs Of a steady de-
generacy in two sets Of organs vital to
he well being of the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations. The evidence is that,
coincident with the mental advance Of
man. there has been a diminution in
the provision of teeth. In the ape.

and teeth arc inversely proportional

reduced the work of the teeth, and the
demand of the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders Of d.
gestion show that the balance is I'M
