Mining is more deadly than war, de-

OF Great Britain. Robertson IS chair
man OF the Scottish union OF mine
workers.
The extent OF the danger to the
miner Is not realized even IN the min
ing districts" he said. There are
1000. 900 persons employed in and
about British coal mines. In the ten
years from 1907 20 1915 there was a
total Of 1900 men killed. or an aver
age each year Of 1910. In the last 20
years the yearly average Of accidents
was about 10000, or a total Of about
3.250.0O0- The miner is always on
active service; he is always in the
trenches"
It was stated that in one mining
district there were 276S persons iv-
ing more than five in a single room,
1897 more than six to a room, SO
more than seven TO a room, and 190

Mooring Zeppelms In
Air Soloed By British
With Three Wire DeUice

London. Eng, April 12.-The great
est difficulty in use Of Zeppelins-
mooring in the open when the home
shed is far away-has been solved by
the British air force. This makes
possible the use OF right airships in
commercial work TO distant part OF
the empire as soon as the civilian
flying ban is revoked
Heretofore getting an airshlp into
its shed in good weather has been
no small task
A Zeppelin has been moored in the
open for a week, as an experiment,
and weather was severe. the wind
velocity being 90 miles an hour and
rain falling most Of the time The
airship was mO0red. 100 feet up, by
three wires attached TO the front Of

The Sim Feiners are preparing very
thoroughly for the capture. at the
next elections. OF complete control OF
the Irish local bodies. The work OF
canvass and propaganda already mas
begun As no other organization IS
similarly prepared, IL is considered
likely that the Sim Fein plans will be
successful. and that IN the majority
OF cases the local governments VIII
pass into Sim Fein hands.
At least 1000 guardians and SINH

many hundreds OF county and urban
councillors will be chosen rs candi-

ton: 1T will give Us an opportunity
OF proving to the world what Ireland
can do in the domain OF self-gOvern-
meut and viii prepare the country for
the greater task OF national govern
ment later on"
The Sim Fein leaders have not ex-
planned how they propose to operate
local government bodies apart from
the control OF the British government
The local bodies have the power to
levy and spend very large sums I'm

Is subject TO the code Of British law,
and every local body Is under the ju-
risdiction Of the Irish local govern
