BLAME FOR MINE STRIKE
PLACED ON SOCIALISTS
John Lang Tells Senate Committee
of West Virginia Coal-Field
Conditions.

That the socialists in this country had
contributed as much as any other factor
toward bringing about the strike of 1912
in the West Virginia coal fields was the
testimony Of John Lang, for thirty years
connected with the mining business, be-
fore the Senate investigating committee
mine boss, superintendent, and finally
chief of the bureau of the state depart
ment of mines
"The miners quit work because they
were frightened into it." said Mr.. Lang.
Conditions were misrepresented to
them and to the public through the
press and in other ways"
Lang testified that the sanitary con-
dition of the West Virginia coal mines
was equal, IL not superior. to that in
any other coal mines in the country.
Unions Held Blessing.
Lang declared that he believed labor
unions were q blessing. if coal operators
were allowed to organise. He said In his
opinion the Sherman antitrust law was
q curse to business, but expressed the
belief that the government should fix
the prices at which coal is sold.
''Of course We could not have a COM
mission to fax prices until we change our
Constitution suggested Senator Borah.
Then ] am in favor Of changing the
Constitution"
socialism" added Senator B0rah. to the
Amusement OF the attorney for the
miners.
IT'S different kind OF socialism from
what We have had; we have had an
archy."

SAYS MILDLY" CLASSES
SHOULD CRUISE INTACT
Board of Visitors to Naval
Academy Would Discontinue
Distributing Members.

Dfscontinuance Of the practice OF dis
trfbuting the members of the first and
second classes at the Naval Academy
among different battleships for the sum-
mer practice cruise, and resumption OF
the former system of keeping the entire
body of midshipmen together during the
cruise, is the principal recommendation
made by the board of visitors to the An
napolis institution. in its report to the
Navy Department
Considerable attention was given by the
board to that subject The conclusion
was reached that the instruction, disci-
plineysliberty and privileges vary on the
different ships to which midshipmen are
assigned, and consequently the results
of the cruise as to efficiency, conduct and
knowledge gained are not ascertainable
with any degree OF accuracy for COM
parison. !: It is considered that after hav-
ing been treated as junior officers for
three months aboard ship the return to
the rigid discipline and routine OF aca-
demic life on shore is irksOme and is apt
TO cause some discomfort and lack of in
1erest.
1t is also unquestionably true. says the
boa rd that the temporary presence of the
3nidsfipinen on the battleships Is disturb
ing to that perfection of organization for
which American war vessels are noted
Gall over the world.
Recommends Target Practice.
Il IL suggested also that the practice
cruise Of the midshipmen should be CO.
Incident with one of the periods OF target
S,ractice of the fleet. SO that the vessels
kn which they are cruising should par
Aicipate therein or that they should be
xtyen target practice under modern condi-
lions separately
No recommendation Is made as te
whether the number of civilian professors
should be reduced. but the board is con
WINGED that as long as the custom OF
employing such civilian professors and In
Ktructors is continued there should be es
aablished a method of employment upon
D merit system, with systematic promo
ton and increase of pay, and that al
civilian instructors in good standing
should receive a notice OF not less thar
three months before the close of thu
academic year of any purpose to dispens.
with their services.

House Majority Decides in
Caucus to Make Clean Sweep
of G. o. P. Employees.
MEMBERS WANT PLACES
FOR MEN OF OWN PARTY
Patronage Pie About to Be Sliced
So That New Men Will Each
Get Share.

Democrats of the House woke up this
morning with the glorious taste of pa
tronage pie. They had gone to bed last
night with large slices of this delicious
political pastry In their mouths figura-
lively speaking. for, following the long
and exciting caucus of yesterday after
noon, when the patronage committee pre-
scented its report, the party in power went
on record as saying that every job con-
nected with House patronage that can
possibly be filled by a democrat should
be given to a democrat no matter how
long and how faithfully any republican
incumbent has served. The resolution
showing the sense of the caucus on that
particular point was presented by Rep
resentative Frank Clark of Florida, and
from within the closed doors of the Sc
cret session the loud applause of the
pie-hungry democrats could be heard in
vociferous volume.
Many things were done to bring about
clean sweep Of employees Of the House.
wherever it is possible. Colored BARRIERS
Will probably be taken out of their places
and white BARRIERS will be put on their
jobs. While this point was being dis
cussed, southern member made an i'm
passioned speech in which he said:
II see many places around this House
being held by colored men, and I know
they are republicans, because 1 never
saw colored democrat in my life
Old Employees to Go.
An attack was made on William r.
Woolley, custodian of the House office
building. and all the republicans under
his charge, and despite the defense of
this particular employee, made by Speak
er Clark and Representative Fitzgerald,
the caucus broom swept clean and with
the House office building republicans will
go George w. Sabine, assistant librarian
of the House, an old and experienced re-
publican employee
The caucus was called to settle the
long standing grouches of many men,
bers, especially the new men, who
have complained bitterly that they
have been deprived of their rightful
patronage. The matter has been
brooding in the House for a long time.
and a committee on organization, COM
posed of Representatives Humphreys
of Mississippi, Covington of Maryland
and Doremus of Michigan, was charged
with the responsibility of a plan for
dividing up the jobs around the Cap
itol. That committee worked over the
problem a long time and then decided
that it would be physically impossible
to slice up the jobs so that each man
got exactly as much as his neighbor.
Therefore, when the caucus met yes
terday afternoon this committee pre-
sented the following resolution, which
was adopted:

New Ideas in Care of Streets.

1--WE discovered some splendid new
ideas for the care Of streets. In Ber-
lin, for instance. we were greatly In
terested in a contract that the city
had just made for the installation of
1900 new street litter boxes, which
differ from those now used in that. In
stead Of being on and above the surface
of the ground. they are sunk In
concrete cases below the pavement.
The street litter is swept into these
boxes, which are sealed with a cover,
similar to the ordinary manhole COW
ers, there to await the arrival Of the
collection cart. which is equipped with
a hoisting device by which the box is
lifted out Of its case to the top Of the
cart, it's contents dumped and imme-
diately covered with metal covers. SO
as to prevent any scattering by wind
or other agencies.
1T is q distinctly new development. in
that It removes one more surface OBJ
struction; that it eliminates the possi-
bilities for the scattering Of the street
sweepings by the ordinary shoveling
process, and that it n economical and an
other step forward for the safety of the
public health, because anything that re-
