WHERE SEASONS ARE MIXED
Caves Exist in United States in Which
Ice Freezes in Summer and
ThaWs in Winter.

There are several cases in the Unit
ed States where nature seems to have
become confused as to the seasons. ac-
cOrdiRg to Popular Science Monthly.
During the late spring and sum
mer ice forms and freezing tempera-
ture prevails, but as winter comes on
the interior Of the caves becomes mild
er, the ice gradually melts and a kind
of subdued summer sets in under
ground
One of these peculiar caves is to be
found at Coudersport. Pa, and one at
DEBORAH, Iowa. The superstitiOus
among the residents Of those localities
give the caves a wide berth and look
with suspicion upon any one daring
enough to attempt TO investigate them
Edwin S. Balch OF Philadelphia. who
has made a study OF the subterranean
ice mines, as they are called, states
that according to the theory evolved
by investigators the formation of the
caverns is such that the cold air of
winter does not penetrate and settle in
them until late in the spring at the
time when the water from spring
thaws is seepiDg through the walls
and roof. This water meeting the cold
air freezes and stays frozen all sum-
mer until, as the fall season ap-
proacheS, the warm summer air at last
finds its way into the cave and meltS
the ice.

LETTER FROM THE CROWN PRINCES PERSONAL ADJUTANT
WILLIAM LEQUEUX POSSESSOR
EUROPE.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-01-09

with those dOctrinaires who have op- posed the extension of special privi-
 lege and the legislative favors which
 have been showered upon Big Bus siness. Under one plea or another
 they endeavor to clothe reaction
 which longs for the no-trust age to
 return, with cloak of pro-
 gress. And this succeeds to such an extent that many who are arch economic reaction
 ists pride themselves upon their po-
 litical progressiveness.
 In principle there is no difference whatever between the democratic
 party and the republican party. In the South where the democratic par ty is the political reflex of the coal, iron,, sugar, cotton and lumber
 kings the democratic party and the
 republican party go before the peo- pie with changed complexions, and the democratic party is that which opposes child la
 bor law while the repub-
 licans ardently support it. This shows the ease with which the two parties coalesce when the economic forces which reflect the political
 forces have the same fundamentals. Nor are the politicians themselves,
 even the most prominent, different in any degree. President Wilson has
 been sufficiently open to the eco homie forces which press upon the party as to respond with alacrity | to their urge His right about face
 in the preparedness question, his ex- | traordinary mobility of view upon the tariff, his somewhat uncertain policy in MeXico-all these things
 are not chance displays of varying temperament, but the reliable .readi-
 nes of the politician to respond to
 party requirements, just as party re- qurements found themselves upon
 the economic eXigencies.
 We cannot imag zine why the work CTS, if they must be politicians, should be at all democrats. In such
 an industrial emergency as this rail
 road question gives rise to, it is im- mediatey seen upon which side the administration of a democratic party government must stand. It will be openly and obviously in support of
 condition which tends to stabilize
 the power held over the workers by
 employers. It is committed to that
 policy and it will stand by it in the last analysis.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-01-09
ARBITRATION.

Why not arbitration, says the aver age man who is not a worker. Why would it not be better to dispose of industrial questions by a mediation board which would judciously con slider and judicially decide?
 The answer is most obvious. The workers have got no confidence in such tribunals instinctively, be- cause they know instinctively that such tribunals are affected by the bias of class and will decide upon in dustrial, which are class, questions, according to that class point of view
 Moreover why is there any reason reach a different decision to that which might be reached by such an arbitration board?
 An arbitration Board would be made up of politicians depending for their position upon the favors of some corporation, upon profes- sionaI men whose practice is con- nected with the ramifications of big business, or of business men them selves who would have exclusively an employers interest at stake.
 It is impossible to settle an in dustrial dispute through any such thing as a mediation board. When two equals litigate in court and the judge or jury decides between them, the question is finally disposed of and the matter is a res adjudi- cata. When an arbitration board de- cides anything, it merely makes a temporary settlement, has removed no cause for friction and the entire question is open for dispute within five seconds after the decision is ar rived at by the board.
 The experience of all in the mat
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-01-09

questions, one would imagine, would have for all time settled the fact that between employer and employee there can be no final settlement and the best that a board of arbitra- tion can do is to postpone the inc vitable clash so that the strike which might have worked itself out natur- ally, will end in a final revolution.
 The right to strike is real right. It is the right to do by the many what the individual can do but do ineffectively. It will be maintained regardless of penal laws.
 In these questions we often hear of a third party introduced and named the Public. The public is intimately concerned with the pro- per and adequate and steady opera tion of the railroad.
 The railroad performs a public function. But since the public has delegated the control of that per formance into private hands, it is assuming right to interfere now which it has given up without a struggle. The public has allowed the workers on the railroad to be in- tensively exploited; the public has allowed stock juggling and gambling and thimble-rigging as well as alll sorts of financial snenanigan to take place. The public has allowed it's right to control to lapse, and it is coming in late in the day to say that it must be considered when the men who do the work demand better working conditions.
 The Pennsy railroad has, for eX- ample, fired one thousand American workers and left them to shift as best they could, replacing them by MeXicans. The public didn't feel that it had any business to interfere Hence only when the workers strive for better conditions is this public bogie resurrected to check and in- timidate working class action, and to justify repressive measuI es against organized labor.
 This public is concern only to the companies when in labor troubles and the public is stirred up into life only when employers are having some difficulties with their em- ployees somewhere or sometime And the reason is that the public which is drawn into this fight as an innocent third party is no such thing He is either an employer or an en- ployee, and he is usually an em- ployer who as far as public utilities is concerned has abandoned all his rights, sold out for sum to the corporations, and then butts in only when labor is to be curbed.
 There are just two classes in the economic world. There is the em- ploying class and the working claas | which has to sell it's labor power to the former. Between these two classes there is a struggle going on day and night, week by week and year by year. It will go on despite arbitration boards or anything else It will go on, just as the struggle went on between feudal lords and serfs, until this industrial serfdom that is foisted upon the workers is finally abolished. The public is a myth. And because it is a myth and because arbitration boards must be made up in the nature of things from these two economic classes, ar bitration is bound to be in the na- ture of things also failure.
 Whether we like it or not the struggle of the classes has to be fought to a finish.
