men are believed dead. buried
under the debris from the expio-

oakview mine of the oakdale Coai
company near La Veta, Colo. Four
bodies have been recovered.
Fumes from the gas explosion to-
night filled the mine and several res
cuers were overcome and We're revived
with difficulty. Owing to the wrecked
condition of the mine and gas fumes,
it was considered doubtful whether
the full death list could be learned to-
night.
Approximately forty men were IN
the mine when the explosion occurred,
including Fire Boss William Christie
pher. Ten men escaped from the mine
through the main slope after the ex-
plosion and ten others made their way
TO the surface through an adjoining
mine. William Davis, a miner, one OF
those overcome by the explosion, re-
covered sufficiently to make his way
to the surface. None Of the others
has been heard from.
The explosion occurred about mile
and a half in the workings OF the
mine.

T CAN but answer that l am POSI-

of this good no finite vision can.
at this time, measure with any degree
of accuracy. We are yet too close to
the awful tragedy OF war for that.
But the hydra head of Prussianism
has received its death blow. 1t can
never be lifted again. The deep, black
shadow 1t threw over civilization yet
remains. 1t is not n thing that may
be dispelled with the ending of war
But the same ideals which struck the
death blow to autocracy will eventual

Just how great and how permanent
a good comes to civilization through
the war would seem TO me to depend
largely upon how answering is our
allegiance TO the very ideals which
won that war. Winning the war was
but the first step TO the establishment
of a world kingdom of permanent
democracy and brotherly love. The
League Of Nations is the second step.

chaser. but not an Objectionable one.
The acquisition OF wealth in Amer
lea is at present the only way by
which men can prove their ability.
The total of their fortunes indicates
the measure Of their success, but the
majority OF Americans care nothing
for money after they have proved
their ability by it's requirement. They
give 1t away in every direction in
countless millions.
"In Europe men have other means
OF distinguishing themselves-social
prominence. titles, honors of all kinds.
The poor American can do nothing
but acquire money - consequently
America will never be a dead nation"
Capital and Labor.
asked Mr.. Edison to say some
thing about the general relationship
between capital and labor,
THE thought that there is really
the slightest Justification for antag-
onism between capital and labor is the
foolish reason at the bottom of all
troubles" he replied. AS matter of
fact the interests of capital and labor
are identical. and in America this,
more and more generally, is being ac-
knowledged.
Mean men sometimes control capt.
tai and they get their names into
the papers and their methods into the
minds of workingmen in general. But
they are no more representative of
American employers than the I. w.

shall ask Uncle Samuel Gompers,
when he gets well, to figure this out
for me-"
asked Mr.. Edison If he approved
the international labor programme as
outlined by Mr.. Gompers for submits
sion to the Peace Conference and he
said he did. at the same time express
ing high regard for the gNeat Ameri-
can labor leader and deep regret be-
cause of his serious accident
| He added that he saw no reason to
believe that the adoption of the pro-
gramme would cause embarrassment
TO manufacturing and that he would
fully indorse labor's stand.
| He spoke then optimistcally of the
| effect Of service in the war upon the
American workers psychology. Many
men went to the front from the Edi-
son Industries and every one who has
Teen able to return and wished to has
found his old place ready for him.
while at the same time the Edison or
/ ganization has given q general prefer
ence to returned men which has re-
suited in the employment OF many dis
charged soldiers who never before
were employed by 1t.

And now Mr.. Edison branched into
a hint Of wonderful things ere long
coming in electrical development.

But that continues and rapidly VII

81 am almost certain that trans
oceanic telephone communication is to
be practical thing presently, a mat
ter OF everyday habit, like long dis
lance calls between New York and
Chicago or London and Paris. Pres

low In comparison with the present
cable tolls, for the transmission of sig
nails spelling words. we shall be able
10 talk quite as freely between Lon
don and New York as we now talk
between Chicago and New York.
Such things will help far more than
treaties TO bring about international
understandings and prevent wars.
Some Of the claims and counter
claims. the endless hagglings over
treaties. which now absorb the worlds
attention" Mr.. Edison went on. "are
more amusing than impressive. They
clearly show the need of increased in
ternational understanding. There have
been efforts during the upheaval by
nations to get more than they are
morally entitled to, which remind me
OF Bob Ingersoll's definition of a one
sided contract, which was that a
rooster tried to make a contract with
horse that they would not step upon
each others toes"
