A Republic OF b

The Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany strike. whatever its causes and
whoever was responsible for the ex-
cesses committed. will not have been
in vain II the cooperative plan since
worked out by the company and ac-
cepted by the employees has "a fair
trial. In an article in the Atlantic
Monthly, luminous with the writer's
sincerity. Mr.. JOHN ID. ROCKEFELLER,
.Jr., explains what this plan is. Some
body has aptly said that 1t establishes
a Republic of Labor. Certainly 1t
attempts to secure the rights and ill.,
terests of both sides to the industrial
compact, and denies no complainant,
ever the humblest, II hearing.
The plan includes II trade agree
ment and u constitution. both of which
have been printed and distributed
among the officers and employees.
The trade agreement guarantees that
until January I. 1918, the wage scale
shall not he cut, no matter what re-
auctions are made elsewhere, and that
In the event OF an increase of wages
lin any competitive field the COM
pany will give the employees a pro
pOrtional Increase" But this IL not

for all employees working under
ground and in coke ovens, semi.
monthly payment of wages, fixed
charges for dwellings. light and water
provided by the company, powder and
coal at cOst and clubhouses in tn.
several mining camps.
The second agreement or document
is rightly termed an industrial Con-
stitution." Its purpose Is to set forth
the relations Of the company and Its
employees, conserve rights. promote
mutual interests and provide Il dem
Ocratic procedure for redressing griev-
anceS. Employees are not to be dis
charged without notice, except foe
| such offences AS are posted at each
mine. In all other cases there Is to
he no discharge for Il first offence.
The delinquent will receive Il warning
in writing that It must not he re-
pcated. Meetings of the men are to
be allowed on company property, and
they may make purchases where they

tion on account of membership in any
society, fraternity Or union.

Colonel House sails To-day.

We are greatly obliged to our
neighbOr the World, IA newspaper
which, as all the other world knows,
enjoys peculiarly intimate if no con
fidential relations with the White
House, for clearing up the mystery Of
MAGNus DOMus's inspectorship, or.
us MIR. TUMuLTY would probably and
properly express it, the inspec-
torship MAGS.E DoMUs.
The mission Of extreme delicacy
and diplomatic Importance which Ex-
nlted Wisdom has decided to entrust
to Colonel HOUSE had been described
up to the time of the Worlds revela-
lions us that Of a mere carrier of at
mosphere. whether in and around his
own person or in suitably riveted
steel cylinders filed and sealed at
Washington for export Ia London.
Berlin, Vienna and elsewhere. This
function seemed hardly worthy Of
Colonel HOUSES greatness. The in
formation now derived from the
World puts an entirely different as
pect on the matter. So specific and
distinctly focused become the ser
vices which Colonel HOUSE is expected
TO perform that we can even cata-
logue them here. on the eminent au-
thority Of our neighbor. The Colonel
goes abroad:
1. To impress WALTER HINES PAGE
with the fact that he is not the supe-
ricr American representative:
.. To settle II three cornered row
between Ambassador I'ENrIELD at Vi
emma. Ambassador GERARD at Berlin
and Ambassador PAGE at London;
3. To castigate. chasten and I'M
prove the foreign service without
causing any of the distinguished AM
bassadors to resign.
4. To see that Mrs. PENrIELp at vi
emma gets what she needs from the
London shops without unnecessary
delay on the part of Ambassador
WALTER HINES PAGE, acting rs pur-
chasing and shipping agent:
). Ditto. with regard to the new
clothes which Ambassador GERARD at
Berlin asked his brother PAGE at Lon
don to get for him at the tnilor's.
8. To tell Ambassador MARYE at
Petrograd lif Colonel HoUs ~ reaches
Petrograd) that he must handle his
mail more eXpedltiOusly:
Z. To caution all Ambassadors that
they must not show any personal
feelings they happen TO entertain as
individuals. either in favor Of the
Central Powers or Of the Allies.
All this. according In the well in
formed WOyld, in addition to gen.
eral duties of inspection and atmOs-
phere. We fcryently express our
congratulations Ia MAGNUs DoMUs-
or, as Mr.. TuMULTY would probably
and properly phrase it, II congrat'
ulations al MAGNAM DoMUM-upon
the high tribute to his diplomatic
abilities which is implied In his Sc
lection by the President.
Nevertheless, we firmly adhere tn
the opinion hat no such Inspector
and Reconciler and CastigatOr of Am
bassadors should he sent abroad
either with or without a package OF
atmosphere, unless the office is first
created by law and the nominee
duly confirmed by the Senate, which
has the constitutional right TO par
ticipate in the appointment.

5I5LE USED By CHRIST.
Authority for stating the Apocryphs
Was Omitted.

To n EDITOR OF THE SUN-SUr: IN.
Y" in THE Sun of December ~ says
that I take 1t for granted that tne
Apocrypha was not contained in the
Bible that Jesus Christ used. NO. !
do not take 1t for granted II Is a
historical fact easily demonstrated
The Old Testament was divided INTO
three distinct parts. the Law. the
Prophets and the Psalms. This three
fold division Christ recognized when ne
said to His disciples 'These are the
words which l spake unto YOU. While !
was yet with you. that all things must
be fulfilled which were written In the
Law Of Moses, and In the Prophets. ana
in the Psalms concerning Me VI
xiv. 40. Tho third division. the
Psalms, was also called the Hagiog-
rapha, the sacred writings.
The contents of these divisions were
rs follows: The Law-Genesis, exodus.
Leviticus, Numbers. Deuteronomy the
Prophets-Joshua, Judges. Samuel
| Kings, Isaiah, jeremiah. Ezekiel and tine
Twelve Minor Prophets; the Hasiog-
| rapha-Chronicles, Psalms. JOB. PROV
| cribs. Ruth, Song Of Solomon. Ecclesi.
astes, Lamentations, Esther. DAME ana
| Ezra-Nshemiah. The books OF samue,
| Kings and Chronicles were zach counted
as one book instead Of as two as In our
L blDle. He IWelNC ~
were considered one volume. and Ezra
and Nehemiah were grouped together as
one. This a Of reckoning maoe
twenty-four books, while our way OF
| counting gives US ~thirty-nine.
The historical proof that the Bible
Of Christ and His Jewish %neighbors did
| not contain the Apocrypha. but rejected
II as uninspired. and that It was the Same
as our present Protestant Old
Is ample. Josephus. the Jewish historian.
In his work against Apion. written apout
| 100 A.. d., enumerates the books men,
toned above az the scriptures or the
| Jews of Palestine, but counts them as
twenty-five, because he groups Ruth
with Judges and Lamentations with
jeremiah.
Origen Of Alexandria. born about 1856
A. D., gives the same list Of Old Tesla
ment books. counting them as twenty
two. like Josephus. He states expressly
that he takes his list from the Jews.
ST. jerome, born about 341 A.. D., In
| his exposition of the Jewish Canon gives
| the same list Of twenty-five books.
The order Of the books of the Hagi-
| oRrapha in the Hebrew Bible Is different
| from that In our Bible. but the books
are precisely and exactly the same.
