luminous coal fields of the coun-

years gone by in the adjustment or
their differences will again prevail
in the present crisis.
Organized Society Dependent.
All organized society is depend

its existence. The government has
appealed with success to other
classes of workers to postpone sim
liar questions until a reasonable
adjustment could be arrived at.
With the parties Of this contro-

purpose the type of memorial selected

IF the term, community as ap-

point we suggest the site of the old

advantageous point, easily accessible
from all sections. The building should

empty shell rather than a living me
mortal, and should be erected only aft.
