The Diamond Honor Roll.

Mr. Editor:
The public schools have n
very deserving and commenda-
bile system of putting pupils
who make perfect attendance
aud almost perfect grades on
all their studies. on the monthly
honor roll. If the student
makes the honor roll each con-
secutive month, he is placed on
the Golden honor roll, but we
have a pupil in the public school
at This place who ought TO be
placed on the DIAMOND HON
OR ROLL.
When the teachers were read
ing out the numes of those who
made the honor roll for Deccm
her the name of little hoy
was read out az having made

dicates 0utpun
of 575,00O,-
600 Tons.

a production between $685.
100000 aud 575, 100000 short
tons of coal in the United States
during 1913 is the official esti-
mate of the United States Cleo
logical Survey, an increase
over the mountaineering pro
duction Of 1912 of 30. O0O. 900 to
1000, 900 tons. These figures
are given out by Edward w.
Parker, coal statistician of the
Survey, with the statement,
however, that the coal mining
industry in 1913 lacked any
spectacular features, the in
crease, in other words, being
normal and an index of the gen
eral indurtrial activity OF the
country. OF tn 8 increase
about 1900. 900 tons was in the
production of anthracite and
the rest in the output of the
bituminous coal mines.
There were few labor dis.
turbances in 1918, but they
were local in extent and effect.
The most pronounced labor
disafl'ection was in Colorado,
where II general strike was
called about the middle of Sep
TENDER, and coal production in
that State during the last quar-
ter of the year was but little
more than 80 per cent of nor
NAL. There was general com
plants particularly in the East
ern States, of shortage of labor
and inability on the part of the
operators to keep their mines
working at full capacity. This
was probable the reason
for less than the usual COM
plant of the inadequate or in
sufficient transportation ser.
vice. Coal mining, like all
other industries in the Ohio
Valley States, was seriously IN
terfered with by the floods in
that region during the spring
of 1913, and probably from D.
100000 to 10000, 900 tons of coal
would have been added to the
years output but for the great
disaster. As there were o
violent fluctuations in the de-
mand by tho blast furnaces,
steel works, and other manu-
featuring industries, tile de-
mand for coal for those purpo.
ses showed only a normal in
crease. The continued decrease
in the production of fuel oil in
the Mid Continent oil field and
the strike in the Colorado coal
mines resulted in an increased
output OF coal in the Southwest,
ern states.
The coal production in 1912
was 534 ,4G6' $50 short tons, and
the output in 1913 would proba-
bly, have been somewhat in ex.
cess of $40, 900, 900 tons except
for the general shortage of la
Dor in the larger coal. produc-
ing States. This deficient labor
supply was an important factor
however, in enabling operators
to maintain prices, and il pre-
vented an output IN excess of
market requirements, which
would have added one more to
numerous preceding years when
prices were demoralizcd by an
excessive supply AS IL was,
there was a slight advance in
prices, compared with 1912.
The total coal production in
1900 was 2d9, GS4. 900 tons.

ROSA LUXEMBOURG
Is ON TRIAL IN BERLIN
Woman Socialist Leader Ac-
cused Of Insulting Army,
Charging Cruelty.
Special Cable Despatch 10 THE suN.


BERLIN. June 29.-There is great inter
est here in the trial which began to day
of Rosa Luxembourg. the leading woman
Socialist OF Germany, on charge of hav-
ing insulted the German army in a speech
which she made some time ago at Fret
burg. Fraeulein Luxembourg has been
convicted four times already for political
and semi-poitical offences. She was also
sentenced to a years Imprisonment at
Frankfort on another charge OF libclling
the army.
Luxembourg said: Dramas are daily en-
acted in the barracks but 1t is Only sell
dom that the means OF the sufferers reach
our ears" This sentence was the cause
OF the present action against her.
Fraulein Luxembourg said to-day that
when she made the quoted remarks she
did not refer to the worst cases which
led 70 suicide. but to cases OF cruelty OF
all kinds.
Counsel for Fraulein Luxembourg OBJ
iected to the judges composing the court
on the ground that they belonged to
the officers class. lie said that Gen.
Won Falkenhayn. the Minister OF War.
did not intend to appear. although he
had been subppnaed. The reason he
gave for not appearing as a witness was
that the usual fee was not enclosed with
the subpoena. Counsel asked that about
100 witnesses be called. lie said that
he had at least 10000 cases OF cruelty
by army officers on the docket. The
trial was then adjourned.

ing OF the treaty of Client
Protests against the measure had been
filed with the House in behalf of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Con-
tinental League and other Irish Ameri-
cans declaring that the proposal smacked
too much OF the British to suit them. The
bill carried an appropriation OF $4,000 to
defray the expenses of the commission.
Republican Leader Mann OF Illinois was
one OF those who opposed the measure.
"Why should we have this celebration
to revive the animosities OF a hundred
years ago?" exclaimed Mr.. Mann. "Why
not forget them7 II you want TO do a
decent thing." he declared with sarcasm,
why not do II up brown by celebrating
the burning of the Capitol by the British 30
The bill was defeated 1856 to 90.
