the story of the Essex county
] house Of correction here.

on populations county commits
sioners all over the state have
faced the same problem as Es-
sex county. The houses of cor

Coal Miners
Precipitate
Crave Crisis
Strike Called for Sat-
urday Threatens
Every Industry In
United Kingdom

London, Oct. 14.-The United
Kingdom today was faced with
perhaps the most ominous indus
trial crisis in it's history due to the
decision of the coal miners to allow
the tsrike notices to become effec-
tive Saturday night following their
rejection of the compromise offer
ed to their demand for a two shiI-
ling per shift increase in wages.
1t seemed certain that unless the
government or the mine owners
conceded the demands of the men
or made fresh and attractive Of
fers, more than 500, 900 miners
would not return Monday, throw
ing hundreds of thousands of work
efs in other industries out of work
and causing q critical situation in
the economic life of the country.
Official returns from the nation
al miners ballot concerning the
proposals of the owners showed an
overwhelming mapority for reject
ion. AT today's conference of the
miners delegates. who met to con-
slider the deadlock, small minor
.ity held out for submission of the
claims of the men to arbitration,
but this was brushed aside.
No sooner was news of the decis-
ion of the miners received in the
great steel district of Cleveland,
Yorkshire, than the iron and steel
manufacturers there began prepa-
rations for closing the works. 1t
is expected that if the strike ma
terializes most of the blast and
steel furnaces will become idle i'm
mediately.
The government. while saying
little, for weeks has been prepar-
ing to handle the situation in the
event of strike.

solution Unsatisfactory
1.-THE residents Of south Salem
are not satisfied with the hospital
boards proposal for a temporary
structure. Since the Mckinley
school is already built. we believe
we are entitled to use 1t. and unless
we get it, the school board will ftnd
itself in an unfortunate position
when it asks for more money
| Harley White, chairman OF the
school board, explained today ,thaS
the directors have agreed to accept
the temporary structure offer ed bY
the hospital board. 1t is to be built
he said, in accordance with the dt-
rections of school officials.
"I don't think the residents or
south Salem would be SO foolish a.
to, buck the board in an effort TO-
raise more money" Mr.. Whita
stated. 'It would simply mean tho
elimination of some of the sch00l'a
departments"

"It is their school," Mr.. HaivOr-

Unless the Salem school board
takes over the Mckinley school, in
south Salem, which is at present
occupied as hospital, to house the
overflow of students at the crowd
ed Lincoln school, the school board
is apt to find its collective self out
of luck at the special election to
be called with a view to raising
more school funds.
That is the sentiment of the par
ents of south Salem as expressed
this morning by Mrs. John Harbi-
son, 1845 South Commercial street,
who is chairman of a south Salem
investigating committee. Residents
of that district, she stated, are not
at all satisfied with the proposal
of temporary structure which the
hospital board has agreed to pro-
vide for the students and which
the school board has virtually
agreed to accept.
Parents Firm in Denlind.
The near r-ultimatum which ap-
pears, to have been served on the
school board by south Salem, is the
result of an effort on the part of
parents of that district to provide
suitable recommendations for their
children. At a meeting Of the school
board Tuesday night delegation
of women who reside near the
Lincoln school appeared before the
board and, after explaining the
conditions at Lincoln, demanded
from the hospital board and turned
over to the school children. Charles
A. Park and August Huckestein
who appeared in behalf Of the hos
pital board, commended that they
should be allowed to retain the
Mckinley school for at least one
year.
II sympathize with the hosptta
board" Mrs. HARRISON said this
morning. "They have only hao

minds about a new building. and

MANY Mexican
Beggars Were
Revolt Victims
By Louis p. Kirby.

Mexico City, Mexico, Oct. IT,
Scores of young men, some of them
little more than boys, with both
hands cut of, are living reminders
of the barbarities practised during
the recent revolutions IN Mexico.
They are condemned % life "e
beggary, and are among the multi
tude of beggars soliciting aims in
the streets of this city AMI el-e-
where throughout the cour,rv.
They are mutilated by bands of
brigands calling themselves revO!u-
tionists. The most active Of tho
bandits-rebels in the work of niu-
tilation, it is said, were the Gapa-
tistas.
1t was the usual thing to hang
captured members of an enemy
force. The men whose hands were
cut off were usually laborers en-
gagged in the work of repairing
damoged to the-railroads and other
property WIou6HL ny thO i|oS'S'
When the railroad track was
torn UP the government woul1 send
bands of laborers to make repairs.
Some of these laborers fell into the
hands of the rebels. Many in addi-
ton to having both hands cut off,
lost both ears under the knives OF
their captors.
Without hands the unfortunate
men have been unable to earn a
living by labor. 1t Is even impos-
sible for them to receive aims in
the usual way, and the charitable
must drop their gifts into the pock-
cts of the mendicants.
AS most of these manned men
are young, their appeals for al
will probably keep fresh in mind
the horrors of the revolutions foi
many years to come.

BURLESON RUNS
TRUE TO HABIT
Postmaster General Severely
Criticised for Ruling on Postal
Pension Plan.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Postmas-
ter General Burleson runs true to
form in his ruling that when an en-
p!oye in his department reaches: the
age provided in the retirement law he
shall be automatically dropped.
The law permits heads of depart
r1ents to pass on the competency of
an enlploye who has reached the age
limit. Other department heads are
retaining employees whose wide knowl
edge and mental alertness makes
them valuable. But the postmaster
general orders these employees to get
out.
Congressman Lehlbach, joint au-
thor of the law, has protested to the
president against the postmaster gen.
erals order. The lawmaker says the
Will of congress is ignored by setting
aside the provision which, permits
efficient employees being continued in
the service; the efficiency of. the post
a. service is weakened by removing
at one time hundreds of men who
must be replaced by green and mex
rer1enced men, and the postmaster
general has increased the cost to
the government because pensions
must be paid to those dismissed while
salaries must also be paid to the
green men who are brought into the
service to replace them"
