sex question in the discussions of the
Church. of England congress yester-

Sir Sidney Oliver, who was governor
of Jamaica from 1907 to the end Of
1912, declared no solution of the color

differentiation theory. Negrophobia in
mixed communities was one of the most
active sources Of danger, he said:

years IL an effort to free the Congo Of

and whenever it haised its head against
the moral and material interests of civ
ilizatiOn.

TROLLEYMEN IN ARBITRATION


Worcester, Mass, Dec 4.-The arbi-
tration board, which was formed to
settle the controversy between the
Worcester and Springfield Street
Railway companies and members of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees,
has announced it's decision. The or
ganized employees demanded that a
nine-hour day be made possible inside
of eleven hours. The decision render
ed by the board is in the nature of a
compromise. For 20 per cent of the
men the luns are so arranged as to
provide for nine in a eleven hour
1 day. Twenty per. cent of the runs will
remain as they were under the old
i agreement of nine and one-half hours
completed in twelve hours, and the
balance of the runs will be nine hours
completed in eleven and one-half
hours, nine hours to be completed in
twelve hours, and nine and one-half
hours to be completed in twelve hours.
| The boards decision includes the de-
! claratiOn that nine hours shall constr
tute days work, and that where pos
slble the runs are to be so arranged
| the nine hours will be worked in elev-
en- hours, with extra time TO be paid
| for work done in all cases in excess of
nine hours. Other rulings made by
lployes. While the employees, of course
the board are in the interest of the EN-
kare not satisfied with the decision OF
the board, yet the award will be ac-
! cepted in good faith as the policy OF
the, organization has been to accept
and carry out decisions of arbitration
boards.

To Aid Coal Miners

Denver Colo, Dec. Another Jones
aged angel of thousand coal camps
returned to Denver Monday to take
an active part in whatever future his.
tory is written in the coal strike.
The committee of miners. which
participated in he conferences with
the operators, will report back to the
on strike the proposal of the opera
tors, which provides simply that the
operators will promise to obey the law.
and refer questions of a method of en-
forcing it to some other means than
the miners union.
These were the two developments
Monday in the coal strike The pro.
posal OF Ammons and the operators is
regarded by the committee as most
unsatisfactory but the members win
report it to the men on strike for a
vote. 1t is freely predicted that it will
be rejected.
The proposal Of the operators>which
is to be voted upon carries with it, by
implication an admission that for years
the mine operators have violated every
state law, have fieeced their employees
by denials Of check weighmen, have
forced them to purchase supplies at
tnelr pluck-me" stores and haVe<cOn-
Quoted an empire of peonage in which
the men who produce coal wereAaenied
every right.
The strikers would welcome an arbf-
tration that would settle all disputed
matters. The proposal Of Ammons
and the operators bars from arlbftra-
ton the question of recognition of tho
union and the right of collective bar
gaining.
Mother Jones brought with her a
spirit of optimism and of cheer ana
has come to stay until the fight is'won.
i came back to the fight because
couldn't stay away" she said with

lions which exist in that southern coal
field the nation will discover another

hour after the women ard children
went to work l saw the men go to
work Men are Workinf ten hours and
women and children can work eleven
