Gals Tipped
AS Are POrters

The statement made by Robert
r. Lincoln, chairman of the board
of directors of the Pullman Co,
that the company has been large
elementof upDift for the Negro,
has attracted much attention. The
reference made by Mr.. Lincoln to
the tipping system, which he call
ed ''au old CUSTOM" but an annoy
ing arrangement, has called forth
some interesting.rejo
George Young, proprietor of
Young's Book Exchange, 135 West
l35th street, for number of years
one of the most efficient and cap
able men in the service of the
Pullman Co., takes up the cudgels
in behalf of the porteNand declares
that the porter is not the only ben
eticiary of the tipping system. On
the contrary, Mr.. Young declares
that conductors, Pullman agents,
and in some instances, even dis
trct superintendent. accept tips
from Pallman patrons. Race pre-
judice is given as a reason why
many Negro men seek service with
the company, which requires the
applicants to be possessed of a
good education. almost any or
dipary porter could pass the civil
service examination" says Mr..
Young, but the Pullman Com
pany's policy seems to be promo
tion for white men only
Referring to Mr.. Lincoln's state
ment that tips are usually given
for services not connected with the
Pullman Co, the latter shows that
the company ru les prohibit solici-
tatiou of compensation for services
rendered, but that a failure to
comply with a passengers wishes
is always taken up by the Pullman
Co, and not always to the porter's
good
Mr.. Young's letter is as follows

New Strike At Chisana.

A report has reached Valdez that
pay has been located on Wilson
creek in the Chisana district by
Adolph Herman. The extent of the
paystreak is as yet unknown, but il
is stated to be sufficient to have
started all the other claimowners on
the creek to begin active operations.
Miners who have recently returned
from the Chisana express no surprise
over the finding of a paystreak on
Wilson creek and are inclined to
place trust in the report. They say
that Herman had his shaft down to
a considerable depth before they left
the district and that he had been
able to raise colors in his paintings.
If the news of the find is confirmed
by letters which should be received
by next mail from miners now in
Chisana it is very probable that
number of men will leave Valdez,
as they are interested in the district,
having come out last fall.-Valdez

Lives Saved.

WASHINGTON, February 21-
The 1914 casualty list for the army
Of three quarters of a million men
employed in American coal mines
Just made public by the United
States Bureau of Mines, shows that
2,451 men were killed.
Comparing the deaths with the
year 1913, there is a decrease of
1874, or one man less killed for near
ly every day in the year
Shocking as is the violent death
of 2,451 men in a years time by Il
peaceful industry" said Van. H.
Manning, Acting Director of the
bureau, "the men of the bureau who
are engaged in the campaign to re
duce this casualty list find in com
PARSONS with other years, some
facts that are rather comforting and
some indications that the improve
ment noted in the saving of life will
be further accentuated as The years
pass.
On the first place, coal mining
in 1914 cost the lives of 33 men in
every 1000 employed, while in 1913
the death rate was 373 That re-
duction alone means a saving of
more than 800 lives.
The number Of miners killed for
every one million tons Of coal mined
in 1914 was 4.S1. In the year 1913,
there were 4.S9 miners killed for
every one million tons mined. With
the exception of the year 1912, the
1914 rate is the lowest yet recorded
for the United States.
"The amount of coal produced for
each miner killed in 1914 was 2OS,07S
tons, which is the largest amount. on
record with tie exception Of the
