"The Calumet q Hecla or other com
panies under it's management will
never recognize the Western Fedora

in the violence of the past few days

THE impression is general that the
Western Federation of Miners sent ac-
dive gun men into the district with the
avowed intention of creating trouble
Every leader in the strike is from
outside this district.
Until the Western Federation of
Miners began its campaign for mem
bershp i'm this district this was a
peaceable community. Twelve watch
men were all the Calumet e. Hecla ever
needed for the protection of it's prop
erty and the preservation Of life.
since the Calumet e. Hecla was
organized i'm 1866 il has had but two
labor disturbances. one was back in
1871 when the property was idle for
three weeks due To a trammer's strike
which was more of a MISUNDERSTANDING
than anything else. In 1898, 400 tram
mers struck. The difficulty was ad-
iusted in two days.

to listen tn any man in it's employ
The demands for "A conference that
were pre- sented came from men not
employed by the company in the name

When labor is driven to use the
weapon of last resort--the strike--it
is but fair To the community to give
the reasons FOR that action. For every
ether species of grievance or wrong
society has provided "A remedy for
those Of the workers there IL none if
the employer refuses to consider them
none except the strike. That com
pels the public to recognize that there
is an unconsidered factor i'm the pro-
duction of wealth. who demands "A
hearing who must AMI will be heard.
The strike was not called until
peaceable means had failed. We
could not compel conference, we
could only request il. The secretary
Of the Copper District Union Of thu
Western Federation of Miners mailed
letter to the operating companies of

me milky way or galaxy is an aopar-

are separated by millions and billions of

cloud into many millions of glittering but
minute points on the black background of

To be close together. but as they are ap-

Cheapening Food Supply.

From the American Political Science Review
Some rather interesting experiments
designed to cheaper the public food sup
ply have been planned or actually put
into operation in three cities which are
widely separated. About Il year ago the
municipal administration of Berlin began
the sale of fish at the public market
nails. The experiment proved an I'M
doubted success and municipal fishstands
have been installed in seven different
markets in Berlin proper, while some Of
the other municipalities of Greater Ber-
lin have followed its example The fish
is sold twice a week at official prices adj
vertiSed the municipal advertising
columns the day before the sale, and the
saving to consumers is about ! L cent for
each pound of fish bought. Plans have
been presented to the chambers to estab-
lish in Montevdeo "A public stock yard
and slaughter house. and in the smaller
cities of Uruguay eighteen other public
slaughter houses. Their cost, some
S1.G12.c.s,, is to be betrayed from the pro-
ceeds of fees for cattle brands and marks.
This proposal comes the result of
special investigation of slaughter houses
in Europe and the United States, made
by DR. BanZa. chief of the bureau of
animal sanitation. The third city Is
Budapest, Hungary. which has invested
the sum of SlSOOoD in municipal shops
selling meats. poultry and dairy products
al a small profit on the capital. This city
also conducts a Strengthening establish
ment and municipal bakery which pro-
duces more than Is per cent of the ctys
total daily bread consumption. com
pany has been formed in Budapest for
the importation of fresh meat from Rou-
mania and Servia.

The Searchlight and Crime.
IN the Cincinnati Timos-S'tar.

From the Cincinnati TimPs-Star
Crime and darkness are fast friends,
and it was perhaps the realization of this
which suggested 10 the Indianapolis
police department the Use of a high
powered searchli2ht on lofty building
as an aid in the arrest of offenders Be
fore putting into effect the scheme the
policemen were instructed as to the sig
nails arranged
In two instances within a MONTH the

ment telephones in spreading n warning
TO distant districts. \ few DAYS ago n
prominent citizen was held up by Hoosier
bushraneer In a somewhat distant but
exclusive. suburb. The bushranger
placed his artillery against his victim S
meridian and relieved him Of his lucre.
The victim was much annoyed. He went
PROMPTLY TO a telephone and mott
fed the police. The police notified
the seaHchlight operator in the top of
a skyscraper. And the operator flashed
the beams of his great white stilleto of
the night back and forth over the dis
trict of the city which had been invaded
by the Hoosier Dick Turpn. Policemen
who otherwise would not have reported
to headquarters by wire for hour or
two, saw the light and rushed to tee-
phones. In this case they We're apprised
of deeds of the rampant highWayman and
straightway the district police stations

1t is a novel Idea and it might be adapt
ed to numerous purposes. But a
means of quickly sgnifying to police
men in widely separated districts that
they should al once communicate with
headquarters. the searchlight idea seems
to have proven itself especially effective.

Land Ownership in Japan.
From the Kobe Herald.

from Inc None Herald
In regard to the right of land owner
ship in Japan by foreigners. the Toxic
Asahi 1--WE avail ourselves of the trans
lation by the japan MaiD quotes an ex-
pert as stating that the assertion of the
Californian authorities that Japan has no
right to raise any opposition to the Cali
fornlan alien land ownership bill while
she herself denies the right of land
ownership to foreigners. requires some
modification. for the right of land owner
ship by foreigners in Japan is recognized
by the law passed in April 1910. 1t is
true that the date for the enforcement
of the law has not yet been fixed but
this is because the regulations are not
very perfect. and also because the in
an imperial ordinance regarding the en-
forcement of the law are not Yet COM
pleted. AS regards the imperfect points
of the law 1t may be pointed out that
the right of land ownership is restricted
To foreigners residing in the country. and
also that foreign judicial persons are not
entitled TO own land without the permits
sion of the minister for home affairs.
The authorities are now engaged in in
designations as to these unsatisfactory
points with a view to a revision prior to
liking date for the enforcement of the
law.
Apart from the defective nature of the
law itself, there are a great many things
requiring investigation before the law
comes into force. For instance, there is
the question of what countries are en-
titled to participate in the law. which is
applicable only to the nationals of coun-
tries granting the same right to Japa-
neSe. Thus there is necessity of in
NestiSating the land laws of the different
countries.
Again. the law provides that no for
eigners are entitled to the right of land
ownership in districts of strategicaf i'm
portance. but what places are to be re-
Slch he nv r,
imperial ordinance. 1t is on account Of
these preliminary Investigations that the
law passed few years ago has not yet
been proclaimed.
