luton.

Washington-The senate has passed
the resolution authorizing a sweeping in
vestigation of the conditions preceding
and accompanying the strike OF the coal
miners in the Paint Creek region in West
Virginia. Under the resolutions author
ity the senate, through the education and
labor committee, will investigate along
the following lines: Whether peonage
exists in the coal fields; whether the pos
tai facilities have been interfered with,
and if SO by whom; whether the immi-
grafton laws have been violated, and
whether there has been discrimination
against the district in the administration.
The committee is also to investigate and
report all facts and circumstances relat-
Ing to the charge that citizens OF the
United States have been arrested, tried
and convicted contrary to or In violation
of the laws of the United States; to In
vestigate commercial conditions, with
view to discovering possible infractions
OF the Sherman antitrust law; to investi-
gate and report whether or not firearms

tive markets. and to Investigate the

cided on by the committee. The commit

sessions of congress or in recess and 1t
mo NAL
tendance Of recalcitrants to take deposit
tions. Representatives of the coal min

long time to secure this action by the
senate. Senator Kern of Indiana has
been the leader in the fight and 1t was his
resolution which passed, making 1t pos
sible that the situation in West Virginia

ed with the bitter struggle between the
coal miners and the operators brought
out.

BIRMINGHAM BUILDING TRADES.

Birmingham, Ala. = The carpenters,
who made a demand early in the spring
for an increase in wages up to 521z cents
an hour, were successful in securing the
signatures of many of the contractors
Later, however, the master builders ar
rayed themselves against the building
trades, and as a consequence the building
trades organizations are now all in the
Building Trades council and are making
a determined fight to establish the union
shop on all construction work now under
way and also for the future. The master
builders position in this matter has ma
terially strengthened the building trades
and when the contest is over the move
ment in this city will be stronger than it
ever has been. spirit of determination
pervades the entire movement and the
result can be easily forecasted.

INCREASE FOR TEACHERS.

Trenton, N. J.-It was recently decided
by the board of education to raise the
minimum salary of the school teachers
from $440 to 5000 per year, and to in
crease this salary $50 per year until $3.50
is reached. Provisions are also made for
ambitious teachers to secure an increase
up to $1,000 per year within six years by
special study and Improvement. This de-
cision is practically compliance with
the request made by the teachers and also
urged by the labor representatives who
appeared before the board in the interest
of the teachers.

STRIKE IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Charleston, w. Va.-The threatened
strike of miners employed in the New
River coal field has become an actuality.
Over 1000 miners, with their families,
have quit their homes and are living in
tents furnished by the United Mine Work
ers. The strike is due to the fact that
the coal operators have dismissed a large
number of men because they are mem
bers of the Miners union. There was or
ganized recently in the New River fields
a district organization, which comprises
about $4,000 miners. In all probability
the strike will be augmented by large
of other miners. providing set
tlement is not reached at an early date.

1000 MEMBERS
Atlanta Organization Opens Cam
paign for a New Building and
Division Headquarters.

A campaign for 1000 members, a
new building and the location of the
district headquarters in Atlanta is
under way by the Atlanta Young
Women's Christian Association, the
movement being given its first decid-
ed impetus by the arrival here this
week of Miss Ada Starkweather, sec
rotary Of the Territorial Committee
for the South Atlantic division.
Atlanta, although favorably stu
ated for the district headquarters,
lacks in membership and it will be
the aim first to quadruple the enroll
ment, then to obtain a magnificent
new building, and, finally, to bring
about the transfer of district head
quarters for the South Atlantic Divi-
sion from Charlotte, n. c., to At
lanta.
An investigation showed Charlotte
although smaller in population en-
joys larger Y. w. C. A. membership
and that Nashville and Chattanooga
also surpassed Atlanta in this respect
When plans for new building took
form, word came from officers of the
National Association that a campaign
for funds would not be countenanced
until the membership of the Atlanta
association had been increased to
1000. The Atlanta officers are conf
dent the minimum limit will be
passed soon

GERMAN EDITOR
GOES To URGE
FAIR EXHIBIT
Theodore Sutro viii Work in
FatherIand in Interest of the
Panama Exposition,

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Theodore Su-
tro editor of Hearsts German Jour
nal and president of the United Ger
man Societies of New York has sail
ed for Germany, where representing
the National German American
Union, he will work in the interest OF
the Panama Pacific Fair. He also
will take part in the centennial fes-
tivities celebrating the battle Of Leip-
zig.
THE main object of my trip" Mr.
Sutro said, is to do everything in my
power to induce the industrial circles
in Germany to change their declining
attitude toward the o)ming worlds
fair at san Francisco.
Il carry a petition signed by hun
dreds Of thousands of German Amer
lean citizens which l shall present
to the German Government, so that
it may know how deeply interested is
the German element in the United
States in German exposition at the
fair, worthy of the renown of Ger
many as an industrial nation.
Il hope to be received in audience
by the German Emperor so that
may set forth my views on the i'm
mense Importance Of this question. I
shall emphasize first of all that the
cordial relations between the German
Empire and the United States for the
major part are due to the many Ger
mans who have found in America a
new home, and that nothing could go
further to promote their position in
their new country than a brilliant and
successful participation by Germany
in the fair.
u shall visit all the larger indus
trial centers of Germany, especially
Berlin, Dusseldorf, Munich. Leipzig
and Nuremberg. may eventually
make trip into Austria and Switzer-
land to agitate for the fair.
The active propaganda by Hearsts
German Journal on behalf of the fair
has met with a gratifying response
throughout the whole country and /
take the opportunity to express my
gratitude to the German press in the
United States for its valiant service
in behalf of the good cause. Some
hundred German newspapers are
standing shoulder to shoulder with
Hearsts German Journal in this mat
ter and We are sounding time and
again the bugle for the good pur-
pose"
