When Our Fuel Gives Out

from the earth's interior. Providing millions of these vents for power uses on all continents would cool the iron center of the earth speedily.
 "Under the present scheme of things, Professor Maurier estimates that the earth will cool to the temper ature of the moon (-110 degrees Gen. tigrade) in twenty-eight million years. | Human life as we know it will have been extinct, in all probability, for twelve or thirteen million years of this term, unless man finds some ma terial in which to clothe himself through which body heat can not pass, and grows his crops in huge heat-in- sulated greenhouses.
 eff the vents were opened, however, the heat of the earth's center would flood the atmosphere, even if used ec- onomically as possible. It would rise to the outer edges of our air, coming into contact with the bleak (absolute zero) temperatures of the void and cooling. Instead of the gradual change extending over mill lions of years, man would be confront ed by situation to which he probably could not adapt himself. The end of the world would come in ten thousand, yes, perhaps in five thousand years.
 "Even if the radium power system were inaugurated, something similar might take place, tho by no means as suddenly. Radium apparently was placed in the earth's crust for one par ticular purpose. That was to keep the earth from cooling off quickly.
 "We have seen that twenty pounds of radium would equal nine tons of anthracite in years time. The amount of radium in the thirty-mile crust of the earth according to Prof. Henri Becquerel, of the French Aca- denny, is sufficient almost to equalize the daily loss of heat through the at- mosphere! That means that if there were little more radium in the earth this planet never would cool off at all! Also it means that if this earth were of the same consistency all the way through, and not mostly molten iron or steel, the amount of radium being of the same proportion as at the sur face, the globe would get hotter con- stantly. In the course of a few de- cades or centuries it would burst into flames and burn to a cinder.
 "The big point for us to grasp, how ever, lies in the fact that we are liv- ing now on earth solely because the crust contains radium. If this had not been the case the earth would have become cold and dead cons ago. If man, for any reason, becomes so grasping or in such dire necessity that he extracts all of the radium from the crust, he simply will be limiting his chances of a long stay very definitely.
 This however, is a remote possibil- ity. The radium is scattered through

monia, while six of those in Douglas were from the same cause. The av- craze death benefit paid was $1419.
 The protection afforded by the as sociation can be shown by two exam pies brought to light by the influenza.
 Ed. Harrington had paid in only $1.65, as he had worked but three shifts before he was taken i'll, after being insured. He died within few days after being taken to the hos pital, and his mother received $500.
 George Wahn was in similar cir cumstances, except that he worked seven shifts after joining the associa- tion before being taken sick. He had only paid in $1.O9. Following his death his mother, resident of Apache camp, received $500. He left two small children.

the whole crust to an average depth of thirty miles. Below this there is a highly heated tho solid zone in which there probably is a certain amount of radium. This zone ex- tends eighty miles in depth, and below it is molten iron, the core of the earth. Man will have his hands full extracting the radium from the upper two or three miles of the crust. Since this will give him all he ever can need, unless the demands of future civilization grow much faster than any of our estimates figure, he would not touch the greater portion"

PAID LARGE BENEFITS
 TO B|SBEE EMPLOYEES

Bisbee, June 5.-The actual finan- cial benefit of an employees benefit association is shown by the financial statement for 1918 of the Benefit As sociation of the Copper Queen com pany at Bisbee. This association sustained a deficit during the past year of $3O,0O0, largely caused by the epidemic of pneumonia following in fluenza which carried off a number of it's members and necessitated the pay ment of several hundred benefits for sickness.
 The employees benefit association is a mutual insurance organization, operated for the purpose of giving cheap insurance against sickness, dis ability or death, and for the purpose of compensation in cases where the state compensation law does not ap- ply. The rate of contribution from wages for the association was 1.75 per cent, which would show it to be the cheapest sort of reliable insurance to be found. The rate for such insur- ance takes into consideration only normal conditions, and an epidemic, such as the influenza, would natur- ally cause a great deficit This de- ficit, however, was made up by the company, under the working agree ment with the benefit association.
 The report includes both the Bis bee and Douglas branches of the ben eft association. It shows that dur ing the year Bisbee members contri- buted $44,113.45 and those at Doug las, $9,672.07, while the company con- tribution was $12,500. With the in- terest on average balances, and the surplus remaining from 1917 of more than $50O0, the total credits for the year amounted to $71,494.34.
 The expenditures included 27 deaths in Risbee and eight in Douglas, amounting to $49,660. There were 833 accident claims at Bisbee and 63 idn Douglas, which resulted in paying out $12,752.01. Nine hundred and fifty five claims for sickness in Bis bee and 137 in Douglas cost the as- sociation $S4,291.06. Expense of op- eration were $4,247.75, making total expenditures for the year $100, ,950.82.
 Of the deaths recorded in Bisbee, IS were occasioned by influenza-pneu-

THE COST OF WAR WILL
REACH S33.5OO.OOO,OO

WASHINGTON, Jan. lit ap-
pears from figures compiled by the
Senate Committee on Appropriations
that Congress for the fiscal year
1918 and 1919 appropriated and
authorized contract expenditures for
tn eprosecution of the war with
Germany aggregating some S55,-
600, 100000. Contract cancellations
and various other deductions made
possible by the armistice will bring
the figures of actual expenditure by
the United States on account of
the war down to about $33, O,O00,-
600.
This for two years is a sum ten
times the money cost of the Civil
War to the Northern States during
four years, with a fourth of the
present population of the United
States. II is more than five times
the cost of the Napoleonic Wars to
Great Britain, extending over a
period of twenty years. 1t repre-
sents a cost per year more than
double that incurred by Germany
or any other chief belligerent in
Europe. 1t is an amount exceeding
the entire wealth of the nation as
late as the year 1870.
So great financial sacrifice for
the time given has never at an
other period been made by any
other nation at this time. But it
brought the war to a victorious end
with a quickness which has dazed
the whole world, and particularly
the enemy world. That is and will
continue to be the ample justifica-
ton of so unprecedented an e&-
penditure, no matter what time will
waste necessarily attending the vast
reveal of the extravaganza and
and improvised outpouring of the
nations substance.

DEATH OF JAS. w. RICE,
PIONEER UNION MAN

At his residence, 1919 Pacific
Avenue, at $3.50 p. m. Tuesday, the
14th, after three weeks illness,
Joseph w. Rice passed away. Bro.
Rice was a pioneer in Union Or
ganization in this city and was the
first president of old Piledrivers'
Union No. 10, of which the present
Local No. 219 is the successor. He
was militant union man, radical
in his views and the expression of
them, and a staunch advocate of
the welfare of the workers. His
advice was often sought on matters
affecting, not only his own, but
other unions.
Brothers Rice. Bailiff and Bur
ley have died within the past few
weeks. The three were close
friends and associates and were
highly respected members of Local
No. 219 of the International Asso-
citation of Bridge, Structural and
Ornamental Iron Workers and Pile
drivers. These three men have left
a void in the ranks of the Pile
drivers which will indeed be hard
to fill.
Two years ago to the day Brother
Rice's son, William, died in his
arms. Brother Rice dearly loved his
boy and the latter's demise left a
lasting mark of grief on the father
Bro. Rice leaves no other than
his wife, whose tender care soothed
his last hours She is left alone
with the sympathy of her husbands
and her own friends to assuage her
bereavement.
Piledrivers Union No. 219 passed
the following resolutions of condo
lence:
Whereas-Almighty God in His
infinite wisdom has removed from
our midst our beloved friend and
brother workman, Joseph w. Rice;
and
Whereas-By his death we have
lost a loyal brother; therefore be
! it
Resolved-That the members of
Local 219 extend to his bereaved
wife their heartfelt sympathy in
this her hour of sorrow and be-
reavement; and be it further
Resolved-That our charter be
draped for period of thirty days:
and a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes; and a copy
be sent to the widow of our de-
/ ceased brother; and a copy be sent
to the Labor Journal for publica-
ton.

RECONSTRUCTION AS
SEEN IN CANADA
To Succeed it Must Provide
Opportunity and Higher
Standards of Life for
the Workers
From The Toronto Banner

The question of reconstruction
after the war is as big a problem
as was the war itself, and yet there
are but few who can really discuss
it intelligently when they came
down TO cold facts. The politicians.
noted clergymen university pro-
fessors, newspapers and periodicals,
manufacturers and workers, men
and women alike, all have been
talking of it and making predictions
OF the better world that is to be
evolved out of the stress and strain
of war and after all is said and
done how very few of them have
any real grasp on the situation or
have advanced any propositions that
will have any real bearing upon
the reconstruction plans that are
to bring about the improved condi-
tions that it is so confidently pre-
dicted we are to enjoy.
How is this work of reconstruc-
tion 10 be worked out and carried
on? Both the Government at OF
tawa and Toronto have proposed
certain measures, perfectly good in
themselves TO 90 with certain pub
lie works that will tend to provide
employment for large bodies of
workers and thus to some extent
tend to tide over the interval be-
tween the closing down of the
great munition plants and the de-
mobilization Of the armies over
seas and the time when things may
later be expected TO become normal
again.
If there is any value in the pre-
Gictious that have and are being so
persistently put forth then one
thing is certain great many old
usaEes and theories will have to 90
TO the discard and be relegated to
the universal scrap heap and it will
be well right here and now 20 re-
alize once for all that any work OF
reconstruction whose object is just
. TO create employment so that men
and women Will be able to secure
Jobs, will be inevitably doomed to
failure.
1t is not so much the opportun-
ity to be fully employed that should
be the main problem in the work of
/ reconstruction, but rather under
what conditions is the work to be
performed and here we face the
cruX OF the whole question.
If the status of society in gener-
al and the wage Garner in particular
is to be materially improved then
in the first place the workers whose
energy or labor creates the mater
ial wealth OF the world must of
necessity be assured of a standard
of wages or remuneration that will
not provide a mere existence only
as in the past but enable them to
live we'll, eat well, clothe them
/ selves properly, allow them to pro-
vide themselves with homes of
their own and in addition TO save
enough to ensure that their old
age will be passed in comfort and
independence.
This is the very least that the
wage earners have a right to expect,
and it is likewise the least they
ought to receive in the new world
that, when created. if it ever is
. created, will be evolved because of
