 Dr. Ira Landrith of Chicago delivered most interesting lecture to a large and enthusiastic audience at the First Methodist church last evening" The subject of the lecture was The Dixie Highway to National Prohibition" Dr. Landrith. who is an orator of national reputation, held his audiences atten- tion for an hour and half He stated that history was to repeat itself in the coming fight for the amendment in that the solid south was to free the northern prohibitionists from the reign of the demon rum. He predicted that national prohibition would be an established fact through presidential proclamation within 90 days. All of the Bessemer churches dispensed with their evening services in order to give their congregations an op- portunity to hear this lecture.

MONTHLY AVERAGES

Tn order that every miner may
 know from day to day what every
 other miner is doing, the sample rec
 ord should be entered daily on puo-
 lie slate tally sheet and at the end of
 the month the monthly averages should
 be shown on the same sheet. The
 moral effect of this would be good as no man wants to be at the foot of his class. These averages would show exclusively who should receive extra compensa tion for good work and who should be docked for bad work Keep ing the records always before the
 miner would be a constant reminder of the Scotch saying from Burns that
 "A chiefs amang ye takin notes and
 faith he'll print them,' and should
 have a good effect.
 ITO carry out my idea for taking and handling relatively small, say, 100- pound samples from a large number of cars instead of treating a small num- Der of whole cars as samples, it be- came necessary to devise some simple and efficient mechanical samplins means which could be relied upon to take always fair average samples of the whole contents of the cars select ed to be sampled.
 ITO illustrate the reduction in sam- bling expense: It formerly required al Banner not less than two men pick ing the limited number of sample mine cars, while with this new sampler system one man takes and picks the greatly increased number of samples Formerly eight men were required al the picking belts, now four men easily do the work. The most conclusive evi- dence, however, of the efficiency ano economy of my sampling system, is found in the surprising fact that the amount of refuSe going tO tho yya of ( dump fell off over 50 per cent within two weeks after the sampler was in- stalled. I don't know how these facts strike you, gentlemen, but to me they are simply astounding. The refuse go- l ing to the waste dump was actually cut down from over 20 per cent tc less than per cent. showing a reduc. ton of over 12 per cent On the tota mine output of over 10000 tons pc,

Herein lies the necessity of frequent sampling.
 Miners frequently protest, therefore, that the present haphazard system, as between man and man is unfair, and as natural consequence it results i'll frequent and troublesome disputes. The use of the sampling system such as We are using will avoid such dis putes and disagreements and easily secure the loading of a much more satisfactory coal. If such improved con- ditions can be brought about general ly, without any additional expense, and. in deed, at reduced expense, as in our case, it will, without doubt, be advantageous both to the operator and t,a taa

HOUSTON, Jan. 2.-The oil fields of this district have been the scene of violence and disorders re- sembling a small war for six weeks
 The oil workers had demanded an eight hour with a minimum wage of four dollars a day and upon this issue the deadlock has continued.
 Upon the first attempt of the ope- ratosr to introduce strikebreakers the trouble started, trains bearing strike breakers were wrecked, and many were killed cn both sides, and despite the efforts of the police and of the sheriff's office the strife continued.
 The lay of the oil fields and the great number of widely scattered wells made policing the strike area difficult and in the end it was inevitable that the operators must yield to intervention by the Federal Government in the form of media tion.
