NED|ATORS ARE USELESS TO HELP
 IN SETTLEMENTS
Action of Jerome Miners, Soon After Settlement, Proves
 That Federal Mediators Do No Good Against l. w. w.

Jerome, with 65 per cent of the op- eratives of it's producing mines out on strike under call of the l. w. w., and practically all of it's developing prop critics closed down, presents absolute proof of the worthlessness of agree ments that may be reached in the set tlement of strikes through federal me diators in Arizona under the existing war conditions.
 This statement occurs in summary of the situation in the copper produc- ing districts of the state issued by the Arizona Mining Congress today. It shows the monthly production of cop per in Arizona to have been cut by the strikes brought in the last two weeks to the extent of 54.00O.O0 pounds. Adding the loss at Cananea of 1000, 900 pounds monthly produc- ton, in which the l. w. w. movement is also factor. the total loss is brought to 61.OOO,0OO pounds from nor nal production in the southwest. The total North and South American pro- duction under normal conditions of April was approximately 21O,OOO,OO9 pounds. To the loss accounted for above must be added Butte and Ken necott, with their total of 36,0O0,OOO pounds the month, making a total of 97.OOO.O 900 pounds, or nearly half of the North and South American entire monthly output of copper shut off within one month of l. w. w. en- deavor.
 Jerome's decrease in output is esti- mated in the congress figures at g. 100000 pounds out of a possible 1S.- 100000 pounds under normal condi- tions. Jerome was called out on strike jointly by the l. w. w. and w. F. M. the middle of May. Settlement was effected early in June through Federal Mediator John Mcbride and the men returned to work under an agreement stipulating in the most positive terms that they would make no further de mands during the war period, recog. nizing the claim which patriotism and

NINETY YEARS
 OF RAILROADING

It was ninety years ago today that the first real railroad on the North American continent was chartered On the last day of February, lS2l, the Maryland legislature granted a charter to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company. The New York legislature had previously incorpor- ated the Mohawk and Hudson Rall- road company, which planned to build a fifteen mile line from All bany to Schnectady. but this was an unimportant local venture as compar- ed with the Baltimore and Ohio pro- ject. The same year which witness ed the incorporation of the Maryland road was marked in railway annals by the opening of the three-mile Granite railway in Massachusetts, and also by a short line in Pennsyl- trial projects, whereas the Baltimore and Ohio was the first railroad un- dertaken in America having for it's object the transportation of both freight and passengers.
 As soon as the Maryland legislature
 had chartered the company. subscrip
 ton books were opened ]. It became speedily evident that Baltimore peo-
 pie were enterprising and prosperous, for, in spite of the sneers and jeers of the conservatives who declared that railroads never could be made practicable or profitable, there was great rush for stock in the venture.
 Within a short time 22,OOO persons
 had subscribed a total of $4,178,000.
 This expression of popular confi
 dence in the scheme so encouraged the promoters that on July 4th of the following year the foundation stone of the railroad was laid by the Ma sonic grand lodge of Maryland. the venerable Charles Carroll, of Carroll ton, participating in the ceremony.
 The road was opened from Baltimore to Ellicott's, mills, a distance of four teen miles, Tn 1880. The first loco-. motive constructed in America, built
 by Peter Cooper at shis iron works near Baltimore, was given a trial by the Baltimore and AOhio soon after the completion of the line. It was a
 small machine, and drew an open
 car, filled with the roads directors, over the line at a speed of eighteen
 miles an hour The road continued to depend chiefly upon horsepower, however, until 1882. F The Baltimore and Ohio is the only early railway which, has retained it's name, all of the other early lines hav- ing long since passed out of existence Nor been absorbed by other companies
 It was not until 1853 that the B. & 0. completed it's projected main stem from Baltimore to Wheeling, a~diss tance of 380 miles. The system now
 has mileage of 4,516, and continues to rank among the great railways Of America, although now far surpass- ed in mileage by such great systems as the Canadian Pacific, New York Central, Pennsylvania, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, St. Paul, Canadian Northern, Burlington, Great North ern, etc. gF@rt @eE

THE DOGS OF WAR

'Unloosing the dogs of war; is more than a metaphoric expression, for canines have played a useful if not very conspicuous part in the great struggle of the nations. The great dogs of the Belgians are used to draw machine guns and in other light trans port tasks. Many of them who went barking out to war when the Germans invaded the little kingdom are now dead, along with their masters, but the Belgian soldiers still have many fourf footed servitors-one might bet ter say comrades = who have been through it all and are now war-hard- ened veterans. Dogs are used by the Red Cross to search out the wounded, and they have at times given valuable aid in this work of mercy. In the mountain warfare of the Vosges the French now have in active servcie hundreds of .tluskies'' from Alaska, used to draw sledges over the snow clad mountain passes. The Ameri- can dogs have taken kindly to their new work, although their French dri- vers have had to learn certain English words-not all of them printable-as the ferocious beasts refuse to pay any attention to commands in French. All of the supplies for the soldiers of the French mountain posts in the Vosges are transported by dog sledge during the winter months, and the Alaskan canines have solved what was at first a difficult problem in transportation. Many of the officers and men of the warning armies are provided with dogs, and these soon become aocus- toned to the horrors of warfare. Jack Munro, the former Aniericna pugilist, who went to war with the Princess Pats, emerged from the struggle mil nus an arm, but with his faithful dog still at his heels, and the animal has been given a war medal. Will Irwin correspondent of the Saturday Even ing Post, tells of 8 tiny mongrel" captured by the Canadians in a Ger man trench, and now Sthe little trait or is as fond of the colonel and his mess. as though he had been barking for England all his days"

SALVATION ARMY'S
 FUND NOW $14,000

The advisory board of the Salvation Army building fund has been inform ed by Adjutant Armstrong, who is in charge of the campaign, that the amount of money and pledges in hand is very close to the $14,000 mark. Many small contributions were made during the last week by workmen who are earning small salaries and by merchants, whose busire-s is not sufficiently large to justify them ill drawing their checks for large amounts. Scores of persons, who usually, contribute literally, have not been seen by the canvassers, and systematic, effort will be made to do this during the present week. Out side help will be sent from other cit ies soon as the army officers have completed their schedule of assign ments. tB
 Although the building at 30 Elm street, where the Salvation Army holds it's services. is small and not suited for the work, it is pointed out that the organization, reaches thous- lands of persons in the course of a year. This is done through the open air meetings and the visits made
 
 vice and help. Adjutant Perrett, in charge. of the local corps, is of the opinion that three times as many persons could be reached if the or ganization had its hotel and head quarters building in operation,
 Adjutant Armstrong reports that he finds it more difficult to reach the people than to obtain a donation from %t,o xxy1o hn rno son for this, he says, Is that many persons are out of the city and others are unable to spare time to have the purpose of the building fund.- cam paign explained. He is of the opin- ion that many public spirited citizens would respond quickly to the Salva- tion Army's appeal if the scope of its work was more thoroughly under stood. But the work will be con- tinued until $3o,ooo has been rais- ed.

When the relieving column entered Ladysmith the men of the garrison presented a pitiful spectacle. The late Richard Harding Davis. one of the correspon- dents, wrote: They were in clean khaki, pipe-clayod and brushed and polished, but their tunics hung on them as loosely as the flag around it's pole, the skin on their cheek bones was as tight and as yellow as the belly of drum, their teeth protruded through cracked. parched lips, and hunger, fever and suffering stared from out their eyes,
