MINE DEATH RATE IS CUT.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The
federal bureau of mines reports that
fewer men lost their lives in Amer
lean coal mines during 1916 than in
any year of the last 10, although the
year was the most prosperous in the
history of mining, with more men
employed and greater tonnage taken
from the earth than ever before.
Observation-Disclosures of each
1000 were killed by accident, the
lowest death rate in IS years and the
lowest on record per ton of coal
mined. The number killed was 2,225,
which is "A less than in 1915, 229
less than in 1914, and $50 less than
in 1913. There were 65,000,00O more
tons of coal mined than in 1915.
1.-The mere reduction of a. lives
lost for the year 1916 does not dis
close by any means the gratifying re-
suits obtained" said Van H. Manning,
director Of the bureau of mines. IF
the same conditions had prevailed in
1916 as in 1915 in regard to the ton
mage for each life lost, there would
have been at least 275 more men
killed."
It is stated that the safety-first
movement and the friendly co-opera-
tive spirit that has been developed be-
tween state mine inspectors, mine op.
orators, the miners and the bureau OF
mines is responsible for decreased IA
talities.

ing on every prejudice and passion of
the American people,
Since the inception of the Euro
pean war the American workingman
has been offered ona of several oppor-
tunities to accept or decline the re-
sponsibility of warfare. He can side
with either the Central Powers or the
Entente Allies; he can agitate for
either an 'embargo" or freedom of
the sea-; but in no case can he ex-
press his realization Of the futility Of
war, Of the internationalizat:on of all
labor, of the brotherhood of man, or
the economic law which asserts the
international scope of the responsible
ity and reward Of labor.
During the last few weeks we have
experienced what amounts to a war
censorship, not only of the public
press but OF the public platform. Max
Eastman, and Count Tyla Tolstoi have
been denied the privilege of speaking
to several bodies of undergraduates in
the universities Of America. They
have ben unable to obtain adequate
publicity for their propaganda in the
papers of the United States; they
have been denied the right of free
speech and a free press by the very
men whose livs are dedicated to the
proposition that free speech and a
free press are the essentials of demo-
cracy as it is understood in America.
The propagandists of peace have
been denied the right Of free speech
and of free press for the single pur-
pose of enforcing within the confines
Of the United States a militarism and
a military spirit more class bound
and more conclusive to the prejudices
of caste and creed than anything
which has obtained in warbound Eu-
rope. The American workingman
will shortly find himself in the same
position that bound and restricted
the German of the Social Democratic
party and the Englishman Of the
English Labor party at the beginning
of the war. He will find himself COM
PEELED to support the theory Of PAN
Germanism, of pan-Anglicism, or of
ran-Americanism. II he accepts the
ruling Of the American daily press he
will be allowed the privilege Of choos-
ing between the pan-German and the
-Agnlicists. In no case, If the
daily press has it's way, will he have
an opportunity to make a choice for
Americanism pure and simple. He
may choose with the papers of the
Eastern States which demand an i'm
mediate entry into war upon the side
of Great Britain and the entente; he
may choose to stand with those west
ern papers which demand peace at
any price, or he may choose to stand
upon his own feet and agitate for an
Americanism which is based upon the
doctrine that America stands for the
right of American workingmen to in
terpret international, national and in
dividual rules to their own collective

BOUGHT AND PAID FOR

Joliet Tribune: During the last
three months the daily press of the
United States has been filled with
arguments in favor of universal mill
tary training, Of universal military
service, Of industrial military con-
scription and of a thorough regenera-
ton of the United States from an ef-
f1cient industrial state to a state
wherein industrial efficiency is sub
ordinate to the military arm of the
government.
On February 9th, Representative
Galloway, of Texas, introduced into
the Congressional Record a. statement
which explains this constant and thor.
ough propaganda in the interest of
universal training for the men of
America and for the Industrial reor-
ganization. of American industry and
of American working men to the end
of military efficiency. The statement
of Representative Galloway runs as
follows:
''In March, 1915, the J. P. Morgan
interest, the steel, the ship-building,
and the powder interests, and their
subsidiary organizations, got together
twelve men high up in the Newspaper
world and employed them to control
generally the policy of the daily press
in the United States''
''These twelve mon worked the
problem out by selecting one hundred
seventy-nine newspapers, and then
began, by an elimination process, to
retail ~ nf
purpose OF controlling the general
policy of the daily press throughout
the country. They found it necessary
to purchase the control of only
twenty-five Of the greatest newspa.
pers The twenty-five papers were
agreed upon; emissaries were sent to
| purchase the policy, national and in
ternational. of these papers; an agree
| ment was reached; the policy of the
papers was bought, to be paid for by
the month; an editor was furnished
for each paper to properly supervise
and edit information regarding the
question of preparedness, militarsm
financial policies, and other things OF
! national and international nature con-
sidered vital to the interest of the
purchaser.
"This policy also included the sup
preston of everything in opposition
to the wishes of the interests served
The effectiveness Of this scheme has
been conclusively demonstrated by
the character of stuff carried in the
| daily press throughout the country
/ since March, 1915. They have re.
sorted to anything necessary to com.
mercialize public sentiment and sand.
bag the national Congress into max.
ing extravagant and wasteful appro.
priations for the army and navy
under the false pretense that it was
necessary. Their stock argument is
that 1t is Patriotism They are play.

CAN INCREASE DAMAGES.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 1.-The
state supreme court has ruled that g
jury can award more damages than
is asked. A woman was struck by a
trolley car in this city and sued fol-
$4,000. The jury thought this was
not enough and gave her a verdict TO,
$4,000, whereupon the judge who
presided at the trial permitted the
woman's statement to be amended sc
as to claim from $4,000 to $4,000
for her injuries: The street car com.
pany appealed on the ground that the
court should not have permitted this
