Another suggestion is that the
domes are due to forces of crystal
ization, the salt being derived from
saturated solutions and collected
around a nucleus by molecular at
traction. But the absence of salt
corrections in the dOmes, and the
apparent lack of concentric struc-
ture are opposed to this view.
Other suggested methods Of or
igin relate TO the possibility of the
domes having been formed by
buckling and fiowage Of beds OF

by the results of 'isostatic adjust

TELEPHONE WORKERS
INTERVIEW BURLESON

Two committees of telephone work
ers, representing the joint council OF
telephone workers of New England
and the International Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers, arrived in Wash
ington this week for conference with
Postmaster General Burleson, for the
purpose of urging that the telephone
and telegraph administration estab-
lish similar machinery to that set up
by the railroad administration for ad-
iustment of wages and working con-
ditions. The conference is sought par
ticularly because of the discrimination
practiced by telephone companies on
the Pacific coast, where girls active IN
connection with the recent strikes at
Seattle and Portland have not been
reinstated.
The telephone operators are repre-
scented by committee of women which
is headed by Miss Julia O'Connor of
Boston, president of the telephone op-
orators department of the Internation-
al Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
and member of the executive board OF
the National Women's Trade Union
League. Miss Mary Mahoney and Miss
Nav Matthews, also of Boston, are the
other two members of the committee,
which represents eighty-two locals OF
organized telephone operators.
The mems committee, representing
the Joint council of electrical workers
of New England. numbering 10000
workers, is headed by George L. Kel-
ly, secretary-treasurer of the council
and includes John A. Donoghue and
John E. Fitzgerald, all of Boston.
The committees were received by
Director David J. Lewis of the opera
ton department of the wire admins
tration, who has arranged an inter
view for them with Postmaster Gen,
| eral Burleson.

What is the war about?
Why do the trade unions take such
a deep interest in it?
The answer to these questions is one
which every workingman should know.
Since the European war began, and
since the day when our country en-
tered into it, there have been many
reasons given for its cause 1t has
been said that it was due to secret
diplomacy and secret treaties, to the
desire of Wall street co make money,
to the mutual national suspicious en-
gendered thru the activities of the
great ordnance and munition manu-
featuring companies in America and
in European lands. 1t has not been
difficult to find people who were quite
convinced that the war was due all
together to capitalistic greed and was
being manipulated SO that the work
ers were but the pawns and capital
would be the gamer, regardless of the
final result
1t is unfortunately true that there
have been wars which were engen-
dered by those who saw private profit
for themselves in the conflict; and
that wars have been prolonged be-
cause influential groups thought it
could be made profitable to their in
terests. 1t is also probable that no
great war between modern nations
could occur without some individuals
wringing profit from their country's
necessities.
There has never been full parallel
to the present war, but there has been
one experience which in a way gave
an illustration of what the present
war means to labor When tho oraat
civil war began, and for the first two
or three years of its existence, there
were many reasons given as to it's
cause. There were those who held that
it was war forced by the Northern
capitalists to maintain their wealth
and increase it more rapidly; there
were those WHO claimed that it was
being fought SO that the privileged
few could strengthen their position.
People were told that the war had
it's origin because of difference of

FISH EGGS.

The cod is estimated to yield 49,
700 eggs each season. As many
as 100000, 100000 and even o.
500, 900 eggs have been found in the
roe of single cod. An eel was
caught in Scotland some years ago
which contributed upward of 10000
900 eggs. This, however, would ap-
pear to have been an exceptional find,
and it is generally admitted that the
cod is more prolific than any other
fish Tho not equaling the cod, many
kinds of fish are exceedingly prolific.
More than $4,000 eggs have been
counted in herring, $4,000 in a smelt,
100000 in a sole, 1,120,000 in a
roach, 5000 900 in sturgeon, 342, 900
in carp, 383, 900 in tench, $4,000
in mackerel, 1900 in perch, and
/ 1,357 900 in a founder. The oyster
is also very prolific. 1t has been as
certained by recent observation that
in the liquor of their shells small oys-
ters can be seen by aid of the mi
croscope-120 in the space of an inch,
covered with shells, and swimming ac-
lively about. A herring weighing six
or seven ounces is provided with about
10000 eggs. 1t has been estimated
that in three years a single pair of
herrings would produce 154 4,0OO,O 900.
Button calculated that if pair of
herrings could be left to breed and
multiply undisturbed for a period of
twenty years they would yield an
amount of fish equal in bulk to the
globe.-London Tit.Bits.

opinion as to whether the rights of
separate states were greater than the
power which the federal government
should exercise.
Regardless of the fact that there
were individuals who made the war a
matter of private profit for them
selves, of the fact that some politi-
clans endeavored to use it for their
personal aggrandizement, regardless
of the issue of states rights, the
great overshadowing fact was that
the war had it's origin because of the
institution of human slavery. One
group of citizens desired to retain
their ownership over labor, to be able
to buy and sell other human beings
as it suited their convenience and
that no child of the Creator should
be permitted to become the chattel
of another. No group within the
nation had a greater interest at stake
in the civil war than labor, for free
labor would never have been able to
hold its own successfully, in compe-
tition with slave labor.
There may have been great bank
ers, capitalists and manufacturers in
this country who saw it in the Euro
pean struggle an opportunity for pri-
yate profit; there may have been po-
litical leaders, or those who desired
to become so, in this, and in European
countries, who saw in the war the
opportunity FOR self-advancement and
for power; there may have been Sc
cret diplomacy and secret treaties in
Europe; there may have been imper-
ialistic programs on the part of Euro
pean countries which tended to cause
the building up Of huge armies and
navies, but, just as in the civil war,
when there was one outstanding, all
evershadowing fact, and that is that
this is labor's war, as much so as the
war of any other man. Again a great
principle is at stake. One great issue
to be determined is whether labor
shall be free to work out its own des-
tiny within the boundaries of free ma
tions, or whether labor shall be bound
down by oppressive rules, in lands
where free institutions are unable to

GODS GIFTS ARE FOR ToILER.
Parable Shows That Only Those Will
ing to Bear Burdens May En-
Joy the Good Things.

Once upon time there was man
who said, 81 will work no more, and
God will take care of me-" And SO he
gave away all he had and sat down to
wait for God to take care of him.
After awhile he became hungry and
nothing came his way. But in the dis
tance he saw some horses laden with
packs which he knew contained food
to eat. And so he grew so hungry that
he followed them.
Up the hill he toiled, while still in
the distance were the food-laden
horses. They led him a fine march,
and he grew weaker with the hunger.
At last he came near to where the
horses had stopped earlier in the day.
and there he found food that had been
left over.
"This is harder than work." he said,
"and now / realize that God will take
care of the man who is up and doing,
but if you sit down and wait the horses
will pass you by, carrying Gods gifts
on their backs"
