NEWS AND VIEWS OF THE
WORLD OF LABOR
PROBE is OF VALUE

RACINE, Wis.-The Racine Call, of
this city, urges congress to take &C
ton on our present industrial unrest
and insists that the report of the COM
mission on industrial relations sup
plies necessary information and RENE
dies.
The Call says:
THE report of the industrial rela-
lions commission offers congress one
of the greatest opportunities in the
history of the nation, an opportunity
to effectively deal with a problem
which has been pressing for solution
for years and growing more compli-
Gated each year because of failure to
solve it.
America, in common with all the
world, recognizes the big problem of
the twentieth century to be in its in
dustrial life.
THE industrial relations commits
sion has recognized the size and i'm
portance of the problem which it was
set, not so much to solve as to eX-
plain, and illuminate. The solution is
for the people, and their elected rep
resentatiyes.
THE work Of the commission set
forth in its reports and as embodied
in the hearings it held are a sort OF
great charter of industrial democracy.
1t will be guide and source of infor-
nation for years to come.

senting John r. Lawson, filed a brief
before the Supreme Court of Colora-

Attorneys for the state, in their

not bailable. To this argument the
attorneys for Lawson cite that capital
cases are only those in which death
is the punishment and Lawson's SEN

ESPEE CLAIMS IT is

d. Y. COwden, tax attorney. appeared
bsfore the State Board of Equalization
on behalf of the Central Pacific Rail
way company, and made "A general
statement Of land assessments against
his company in several counties as
follows:
Humboldt county: railroad estimate
of average full cash value per acre,
.Sl22; average assessed value per acre,
.Sl.55, or 127 per cent.
Lander county: railroad Judgment OF
full cash value per acre, $2.41; assess
ed at $1.9415, or so per cent.
Eureka county: railroad estimate of

CLOSE ESTIMATE
ON oUUIcKsILvER

The final figures for the production
of quicksilver in the United States in
1914, as received by d. II. McCaskey,
Of the United States Geological Sur
vey, are only tenth of l per cent
less than the figures given to the pub
lie in the preliminary estimate of Jan
uary /. 1914. The preliminary figures
gwen were 1865 TASKS Of IS pounds
each. having a total value of $s11, $50
The final figures are l6,54S TASKS, val
ned at SSl1 $50, showing a decreased
output of 1865 TASKS compared with
the production of 1913. This decrease
was entirely due to much smaller
Weld from California. The production
from California, which amounted TO
1851 TASKS, valued at 1927 ,22S, in
1913. was only II ,303 TASKS, valued at
S554.4l4. in 1914. The production of
Nevada increased from 1.645 TASKS.
valued at S66,17s, in 1913, to 2.0s9
TASKS, valued at $102 ,465, in 1914. The
combined output Of Arizona and Texas
increased from 2,977 TASKS, valued al
S119,765, in 1913, to 1856 TASKS, val
ned at S1545,, sol, in 1914.
The average San Francisco price
from January to July ranged from
! $3925 to $3.50 a flask. During the last
Eve months of 1914 the price fuctnated
greatly and sales We're reported ex-
ceeding 800 a flask. The average San
Francisco price for 1914 was $49.05
against S40.23 in 1913 and $42.05 in
1912.
None of the mines in Oregon, Utah,
or Washington reported any production
IN 1914, and the output was derived
from 20 properties IN California, in
Nevada, and in Arizona and Texas.
The total quantity of ore and fur-
mace material treated in 1914 was 1872
esS short tons, and the average re
covery was l0l pounds of metal per
ten. against an average recovery of
Ill pounds per ton from l36,27S tons
in 1913. Only 5,525 tons of ore was
treated in retorts, which yielded 917
TASKS of quicksilver, and the remain
der of the ore, or 1l7,473 tons, was
treated by furnaces
The present high prices have stimu-
lated the search for new ore bodies
and also the active operation of the old
properties, but the present outlook does
rot indicate any largely increased do
mestie production.
Quicksilver is used mainly in the
manufacture of illuminate for eXplos-
i've caps, drugs, electric appliances and
scientific apparatus, and to a diminish
ing degree in the recovery of gold and
silver. 1t is the increased demand for
explosives and the domestic shortage
on supplies that have SO greatly ad-
vanced the price of the metal The
quantity of quicksilver used in the
Trut+ol Gfofae In raeovarinu praei0ns
metals has shown a steady decline in
recent years. II is estimated that the
quantity so used has decreased from
200 TASKS in 1911 to l,l50 TASKS in
1913. This was less than per cent of
the domestic quicksilver output and of
this more than 80 per cent of the guam
titv so used in 1913 was by California
mills.
