Louisville, Ky. Dec. 81 In an
editorial that tears to pieces pres

son of the Courier Journal says:
"Coincident appears yet more

THE BIG REDWOODS.

One Tree Cut In 1900 Was Nearly
Fourteen Centuries Old.
The biggest stands of redwood TIM
Der are In Del Norte, Humboldt and
Mendocino counties, Cal, but there are
isolated groups as far north as the
Chetco river in Curry county, Ore, and
as far south as the Santa Lucia noun
tains, Monterey county. The redwood
belt is from twenty to forty miles wide,
the trees growing on the west slopes OF
the coast range.
The enormous height and diameter of
the redwood Is due to the great rain
fall In the autumn and winter, from
thirty to sixty inches, and to the sea
fogs which bathe the coast In the sum-
mer. There are two types of the red
wood, those which grow on the slopes
and those on the fats or bottom lands.
The slope redwood is the common type,
and 1t grows mixed with other woods,
such as red fir, tan bark oak and white
fir. AS the slopes become moderate,
the altitude lower, the soil deeper and
the water supply better the redwood
steadily gains on the other species IN
til on the rich dats there is no other
tree.
The extreme form OF the redwood
fat is along the Eel river. and here the
trees attain their greatest known
height and clear length. Under best
conditions these trees grow to be $50
feet high, with a diameter of twenty
feet Most OF the redwoods cut are
from 400 to 800 years old. and the Old
est tree found during the government
investigation In 1900 was 1873 years
old.
The tree when normal has q straight,
slightly tapered ooe clear for more
than 100 feet and crown Of horizon
tai branches that may occupy from
one third to one-half of its total length.
The enemies of redwood are few, and
1t suffers from them less than other
trees. The wind can scarcely uproot 1t,
insects seem to do ii little harm. and
fungi seldom affects it. Even fire, the
great enemy OF all trees, though 1t may
occasionally kill whole stands of young
redwood growth is unable to pene-
| trate the treprOof sheathtng of shaggy
bark with which the old trees protect
| themselves.

FEEDING AN ARMY.
tsthod of Supplying food TO Troops
on the Battlefield.

How an army In the deld gets It's
food from day to day Is told tn the
Scientific American from which the
following extracts ure taken:
The supply train of an infantry diyi-
sion carries two days field and grain
rations. In the late afternoon or at
the end of march or close of COM
bat the division commander directs the
feld trains to move up Immediately In
the rear Of the troops and informs the
commanding officers of organizations
that one days rations have been or
dered to designated place An order
ly Is sent to that place To conduct the
wagons to the organization. After be-
ing unloaded they return Immediately
and join the grouped portion OF the ra-
ton section That same night or early
the following morning the empty wag
ons are retilled from the supply train.

END OF COLORADO STRIKE.
Miners VIII Continue to Propagate
Principles of Unionism.


Principles of Unionism.
A recommendation to end the Colo
rado coal miners strike. which had its
Inception in the northern Colorado
fields in April, 1870 and for more than
fourteen months has involved prac-
tically the entire coal mining industry
of Colorado, was contained in COM
munication from the international ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers of America and was unani-
mously agreed to by the miners of Colo.
RADIO in convention at Denver.
The cost of the strike now ended is
estimated at $18O00,O00. shared by all
affected According to union officials,
more than $3.0OO.000 has been paid out
in strike benefits. Loss of wages is es-
timated at $6,000000.
In announcing the determination to
end the strike the executive board
says:
1--WE recognize no surrender and shall
continue to propagate the principles of
our humanitarian movement through
out the coal fields of Colorado"
The coal strike now called off began
in the northern fields on April 4, 1910.

Urge Safety In Industry.

San Jose, Cal, Dec. 31.-At a
mass meeting in the interest of in
dustrial safety, VIM. J. French,
member of the state industrial ac-
cident commission, urged the neces-
sity for cooperation of employees
and employers and state and fed
eral governments to lessen the
number of killed and injured by
the adoption of safety devices
wherever machinery is used.
The state official said: 1--WE are
face to face with a situation that
can be largely, If not fully, pre-
vented. Carele ssness of the lives
of workingmen is social crime,
and we propose 10 correct it. 1t
can be done so simply and cheaply
that employers will not notice the
expense. Along the line of this
work of prevention we shall have a
committee in the northern part of
the state, composed of employers
and employees, and one in the
southern part, and these will ap-
point submittees to cover the diff
ferent trades. The latter will re-
port the needs of trades to the com
mittees, who will make suggestions
to the commission which in turn
will hold open hearings, and if the
suggestions are deamed wise they
will be put into effect. BY this
system 1t will not be necessary for
the legislature to make specific
safety laws, which are continually
added to or amended.

try In Colorado, threw the common
wealth into turmoil and finally led to
the calling out of the state militia and
later to the importation OF federal
troops. Sixty-two persons are known
to have been killed and about fifty in
jured as result of disorders incident
to the strike. The battle between
strikers, mine guards and state troops
at Ludlow on April 20 last ended In the
destruction of the strikers tent col

were found dead in the ruins. Subse-
quaint warfare included attacks upon
various mining camps in Las Animas,
Huerfano. Fremont and Boulder coun-
ties. The arrival of federal troops on
April 30, 1914, restored peace.
State troops were sent into the strike
zone on Oct. 20. 1918, at the request of
local authorities. Except a company
stationed at Ludlow and another at
Walsenburg, the state troops were
withdrawn April 1S. 1914. The follow

ROCKEFELLER
F0UNDA
AND OTHERS TO BE
PROBED.
Charged That They Are the
Beginning Of An Effort To
Perpetu ate Pr ed a or y
Wealth and Corrupt Public
Opinion.

New York, Dec. 31.-The decis-
ion of the United States industrial
relations commission to investigate
great financial foundations and in
stitutiona] charities, maintained by
multi-millionairs, has resulted in a
meeting of the Rockefeller founda-
tion in this city for the purpose of
discussing the matter. ;"
The commission announces it
will probe the Rockefeller and Rus
sell Sage foundations, the Carnegie
philanthropies and other benevo-
lences. Charges have been made
to the commission that these foun-
dations are the beginning of an eff
fort to "perpetuate the present po-
sition of predatory wealth through
the corruption of the sources OF
public opinion. It is asserted
that the basis of the commission S
inquiry will be the letters intro
duced by Jesse F. Welborn, presl-
ident of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company showing the interest
which members of the executive
committee of the Rockefeller foun-
dation took in the coal strike.
The scope of the investigation,
as officially outlined, is as follows:
The commission will investigate
the rights, powers and functions of
self-perpetuating organizations un-
der their present charters and the
extent to which these charges may
be stretched under the present con-
stitution of the Uniled States and
the restrictions which present con-
stitutional limitations impose.
1T will investigate the attitude
of high finance toward industrial
questions w h at organizations
such as the Rockefeller are doing
to relieve industrial unrest; how
the policies of these organizations
are shaped and by whom; what part
the source of their income plays IL
determining what these policies
shall be; whether self-perpetuating
organizations such as the Rocke-
feller foundation are a menace to
the future political and economic
welfare of the nation; what figure
they cut in politics; the labor poll
cy of "Big Bushes" in general.
President Gompers of the A. F.
of L. is among the official list OF
witnesses, and it is probable that
United States Senators Kenyon OF
Iowa, and Owen of Oklahoma,
will also be called. These legisla-
tors led the fight in Congress
against granting a federal charter
10 the Rockefeller foundation.
The investigation will open in
this city January IL.
