BRITISH LABOR UNITY.
Miners Federation Suggests co-opera.
tive Action In Union Matters.

Miners Federation suggests Co opera.
tive Action In Union Matters.
The syndicalist resolution, passed by
the Miners federation conference al
Scarborough, England, requesting the
executive officers to approach the com.
mittee of other large trade unions
with a view to cooperative action in
support of one another's demands. is
viewed in trade union circles as the
most farreaching proposition yet pui
forward by the labor organizations.
Although the leaders of the trade
unions in London are rather disinclin
ed to discuss the proposal at present
they do not Disguise their satisfaction
at the step which the miners have
taken. The Transport Workers fed
GRAFTON has been endeavoring since tht
strike of last year to bring about q
combination of the smaller unions and
cooperation among others.
Hitherto the general body of rail
way men has not been particulars
enthusiastic in coming into line witt
the transport workers, but it is now
felt that the influence of the miners
viii eventually bring about working
scheme. An official Of the Transport
federation said in an interview:
THE idea is the only reply which la.
Dor could make to the proposal of EN-.
ployers to amalgamate with a fund OF
$250,000,000. Labor cannot exist il
units, and | ana sure that the very day
on which capital combines in the di
rection we hear it is about to take the
labor army Of 100000 men will con.
solidate to help each other 1t is tbs
beginning of new era for labor"

METEORlC SHOWERS.
Why They Have Little or No Effect
Upon the Earth's Balance

In answer to the query, "The earth
is held in its orbit by the absolute bal
ance of centrpetal and centrifugal
forces. and if the balance were dis
turbed the earth should fly away into
space or fall to the sun. yet this bal
ance is continually disturbed by me-
teors and other causes and no catas-
trophe occurs; please explain" Edgar
Lucien Larkin, in the New York Amer
lean. says:
"There is no centrifugal force as such
in nature. What so appears is reaction
against gravity due to the motion of
the earth Inertia an inherent prop
erty of all matter. would forever main
tain a moving body in an absolutely
straight line in its original direction
unless some outside force draws it
aside The direction of drawing aside
is always toward the outside disturbing
mass-the sun in this case. And the
earth thus continually falls from a
straight line-a tangent-to its orbit
through a distance of one-ninth Of an
inch during each second.
IF gravitaton should suddenly be
annihilated the earth would fly away
on a straight line into space. But
should a trillion tons OF meteors sud
denly fall on the earth it would not fall
to the sun but would still reyolve
around it much faster on smaller
orbit The year would be shorter. And
the new orbit assumed would be deter
mined in space by the equilibrium Of
central gravitation and the reaction of
inertia of the earth against It. But
since the setting up Of the grand mas
ter clock in Greenwich no variation Of
the length of the sidereal year has
been detected Therefore the mass of
all the millions of meteors falling on
the earth daily is too small TO have any
appreciable effect on the length Of the
year,

The Caminetti Case.

The New Orleans Times-Demo-
cras June 28: President Wilson has
done what he could to correct At
torney General McReynold's mistake
in the Caminetti affair, and at the
same time to save his law officers
face. But the mischief worked is not
wholly reparable, save at sacrl-
flee which the administration is
naturally unwilling to make, and
Minority Leader Mann's sarcastic
attack shows that the opposition is
unprepared to take full advantage
of what Mr.. Wilson himself tacitly
admits was blunder. An early trlas
of the California cases involved has
been ordered, but the prosecution
must be conducted by special attor-
neys whose lack of familiarity
herewith must, at the best, place
them at something of disadvan-
tage. Both the President and his At
torney General hold that District
Attorney McNabb, by his conduct
and intimations, has made his re-
tention impossible.
Yet the Presidents order in the
affair amounts to tacit admission
that Mr.. McNabb was right in his
contention. And Mr.. McReynolds, i'll
his report to the President, admits
that his California subaltern had
submitted a very full report of tho
cases covering more than dozen
typewriter pages in which he de

his differences tharefrom," and ex-
pressed the opinion that vigorously

Attorney General on May 81, and he
says Ire replied by wire on the same
date directing District Attorney Me
Nabb ito set the cases and proceed
with them/as he had planned.

plains, the matter passed out Of hlS
