tention to the death toll exacted OF
the mines, for thousands yearly are
added to the number which go down
into the depths of the earth never
again to see the light of day.
Who have killed these people? Some
one has. They died because some
one who ought to have protected their
lives did not do SO. Other workers
will die in the same manner unless
the laws and the courts find a way to
punish, and do punish the men who
made so strict and so plain that every
body shall know exactly where the
responsibility lies. The workers only
chance for protection lies in careful
legislation, enforced by a sufficient
number of inspectors, appointed by
civil service, so that the possibility of
bribery and falsehood may not pre-
vail in spite of law. Finally, all good
citizens must agitate this question
until, as far as possible, the lives OF
the workers are safe.

death was TO jump from the fourth.

ing would have been indicted for man
slaughter.
Another grim harvester of death is
the railroad. It is hard to believe
that in the year of 1908 that the rail
roads of the United States, in addi-
ton to passengers, killed 3,47O of
their employees. What befalls the
wiges and children Of those dead wage
earners? The passengers may recover
damages, the employees can not.
Remedies for this deplorable state of
affairs may be found in two ways:
Employers Liability Acts and Work
mans Compensation Acts.
Put the employee on the same basis
as the passenger, and the best safety
appliances will become necessity
to the railroads. Efficient liability
laws will lead to a Workman's Com
pensation Act, for the railroads must
then give suitable compensation for
loss of life, or injuries, which are
twenty times more numerous. These
compensation acts have been found to
be so efficient in Europe that they
have been adopted by nearly every
country there.
Surely every state in our grand
and glorious country would wish to
help this great work for the good OF
mankind.

RAILWAY PLACES
EMBARGO ON FREIGHT

An embargo on all freight bound for
Detroit through Toledo, has been
placed by the Michigan Central rail-
road, to give the officials a chance
TO clean up the yards and get things
going properly. The embargo went
into effect Sunday morning, and ar
feets all freight except livestock and
perishable merchandise.
Henry Shearer. formerly superinten-
dent OF the Canadian division OF the
Michigan Central, took up his duties,
Sunday, as assistant TO the general
manager, and he will spend most OF
his time in the yards until the situa-
tion ia cleared. IL Ia expected that
things will be moving on regular
schedule By Jan /, and il will be pos
sible 10 raise the embargo. w ii.
O'Keefe took charge of the Detroit
division of the Michigan Central. sun
day, succeeding NJ. T. Wright who
takes Mr.. O'Keefe's former place as
superintendent OF the middle division
OF the road in Jackson.
II is expected that the plans which
have been put into operation will en-
able shippers to get the freight which
has been in the Yards for switching
and will avoid the congestion OF last
winter In the freight yards.
Every effort will be made TO induce
the shippers to facilitate the handling
OF freight by promptly releasing the
cars that are delivered to them.

that the police record which he estab-

a slave to whisky. was the real cause

FRUIT BASKETS CAUSE
OF COURT SQUABBLE

Those pretty little fruit baskets for
the holiday trade. all ,decked out with
Malaga grapes. imported, luscious
pears, rosy-cheeked apples, and holi-
day green's, will be made the basis OF
a bitter fight In the recorders court.
The ordinance forbids the sale or
any fruit or vegetables except In
baskets OF standard size and capacity.
Several prominent grocers have been
complained against for offering the
fancy baskets for sale.
They will make a test case OF the
affair, contending that the "speciaI
baskets are so special" that they are
not a cheat or fraud in any sense;
that no one expects them to contain
any certain amount Of fruits, and that,
therefore, the ordinance Is not. or
should not he aimed at them.
Judge Phelan's court, where several
baskets of the luscious fruit were on
exhibit, had the appearance OF a land
show" He put the cases over for
week
