OPEN LABOR MARKET
TO BE Sought Through Employers
Association of Pittsburgh.

Pittsburg, Pa.-It has become known
that steps are being taken, through the
organization of the Employers Asso-
citation OF Pittsburg, to try to make the
district an open labor market and to
handle all questions as they affect labor.
More than one hundred manufacture
ing and other concerns, including some
of the largest in Western Pennsylvania,
were represented at a meeting, which
was held behind closed doors. An OF
hcial statement declares that the objects
OF the association are:
TO secure for employers and en-
ployed the freedom of contract in the
matter OF employment, irrespective of
this or kindred associations; to oppose
restriction of output, sympathetic
strikes and boycotts; to discountenance
conditions which are not Just and which
Will not allow a workman to earn a
wage proportionate to his productive
capacity; to prevent interference with
those seeking employment; to avert in
dustrial disturbances: to harmonic dii-
terences between employers and en-
ployes so that justice may be done to
both, and to uphold the law.

Mighty Glacier Governs.

1t has long ago been discovered that
water produced by the melting of gla-
cier ice in summer flows down through
crevasses to the bottom of the glacier
and, forming a channel by erosion,
cmerges often as large stream. In
the arctic region these phenomena take
place on very large scale. The Dan
ish expedition to the northwest of
Greenland, conducted by Mylius and
Erichscn, discovered and explored vast
caverns thus formed by glacial streams.
Some of these caves are sixty to sew
enty feet in height and more than a
mile long In winter the streams cease
howng, but the cavcrns or tunnels re-
main ready to receive the streams of
the following summer.

NapOlcOn'S Power.

General Foy, the French military
critic of the time of Napoleon, speaking
OF Napoleon's strength and his weak
ness, said: "Only the founders of re-
ligion have exercised upon their follow
crs an authority comparable to that
which made him the absolute master of
his armies. This moral power became
to him fatal gift. He came to believe
that ne could prevail even against the
most powerful material force, and this
led him to scorn certain rules, the long
continued violation of which could not
remain unpunished."
