Disarmament and Lynching.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Again America, through its repre-
sentative, the State of Georgia. the
home of John Williams, the peonaRe
champion. comes forward with an
other spectacle more heinous and
more damnable than can be con-
ceived to exist in a nation that in
vites the world into conference to
reduce ornaments and other causes
for world disaster.
The tragedy that was set in Au-
gusta, Ga, August II. makes
mockery OF American civilization
and forces our nation, conceived in
=. to fall sponsor or acquiesce
to a national disgrace. Walter
SmaIIey. a negro. called Il. T. High
tower, a white man, a liar, for
which the negro was whipped by
the white man. Hightower was
shot to death by Smalley, who fed
from the scene shooting at his pur-
suers, who were determined to rid
die him with bullets. In the shoot
ing that followed the killing Of
Hightower, several other persons
were shot, including Patrolman W.
W. Moore, who was killed. As
might have been expected. Smalley

received the severest punishment
that could be meted out to him by
man. and had passed beyond the
Jurisdiction of human penalties.
Wasn't that enough? In the early
morning, while civilization slept. a
mob of masked outlaws took the
corpse of the negro from the
morgue, carried IL beyond the city
limits and burned IL.
The President Of the United
States, in the first few utterances
of his inaugural address, said,
"Liberty-but liberty within the law
and civilization are inseparable."
The President only proclaimed a
general truth that has always been
and always will be true, but he
and our nation are challenged to
prove that there Is liberty or civiIi-
zation in our national conscience.
Let US pray that the wind will not
blow from the South during the
disarmament conference for fear
that our representatives will have
the unhappy task of explaining
whence comes the odor of burned

Wise or Foolish?

Q EVERAL. of the railroads have taken steps to
- forestall the decision of the Labor Board
They have in advance of the report, leased their
repair shops to private corporations, placing them
outside the boards authority. Whatever the provo
cation for this it is quite increase and spread
the prejudice against all the railroads and make it
increasingly difficult to gain approval of the set
Element to pay them what the government owes
them.
1t may be true, probably is true, that their shops
be operated a lower overhead cost than that
fixed by the board. Common labor at IS cents an
hour for ten-hour day, is large saving over the
eight-hour day at IS cents hour. 1t may be that
skilled labor can be secured a similar scale
This is for now. There is a. future. The transfer
is by lease, not sale Will the courts hold this as
sufficient
1t would appear that for an immediate ad-
vantage, these railroads may be storing up future
trouble. At least they not helping their rela-
tons to their labor element. They not making
it easier to adjust other differences in departments
that cannot be shuffled into other control. They
have to the trains themselves and hardly
contract supervision of their tracks nor the obera
ton of their stations and freight warehouses. But
not all the roads are following this policy of sbon
leasing and some dealing directly with their
men in effort to build up spirit of real com.
munity interest.

PLAN NATURALIZATION
OF COTTON DUCK.

Steps toward standardizing In,
specifications for cotton duck arr
being taken by the Bureau OF stand

other departments OF the govern

textile.
This material. which Is used FOL
Uncle Sans mail bags. sails ant
tRrpaulins, and which finds mani
ether applications in manufactured
and commerce. has heretofore hal
nearly as many different standard
Of construction as there are manu-
facturers:.
Tentative specifications for thl
various weights OF numbered duel
which are used for miscellaneoti
purposes, have been drawn up bI
textile engineers OF the bureau anI
have been discussed at a confed
ence with governmental pUrchasini
officers and a committee OF the Cod
ton Duck Association.
The specifications will cover onlI
the numbered" ducks, as they ad
known to the trade, and will nd
affect the cotton ducks used for spe|
cial purposes. such as dredginI
sleeves, fire hose, betting, shoej
etc.
Commercially. there are twenyy
four weights Of numbered cottal
duck. ranging from No. IL, whid
weighs ounces per linear yard. !
inches wide. TO No. 1910. whic
weighs 80 ounces per linear ysI
Of the same width.
The proposed specifications wi
require a certain performance

thread count and the minimum ri
Of yarn will be specified.
Each government depsrtme
now has a different specification n
cotton duck, and in most cases ~
manufacturers have TO make got

grades do not conform exactly
the specifications. IL the PROPOSE
specifications are adopted by
departments. Il is expected that
large saving will result, due to
fact that commercial duck Of ecu

Special to The Chieftain.
Cripple Creek. Colo. July l2.-The
output for June from the mines of the
Cripple Creek district amounted ITO
1856, 171.sO. The total number of tons
treated was 36,3sl with an average
value OF 5000. The operation of the
mines during the month was consid-
erably handicapped by the high water
of the early part of the month, TINS
prevented shipping and curtailed oper-
atoms for seven days. In the three
weeks of June when shipping was
possible, six hundred and fifty car
loads of ore were shipped to the Golden
Cycle mill at Colorado city. These
figures exceed the number of cars
shipped in any month of the present
year.
The recent phenomenal strike made
on the twentieth level of the Nindica-
tor has been opened up for distance
of 300 feet. The higher values are
found on either side of a phonolite dixie
of approximately fifty feet The new
discovery is the downward extension
of the ore body opened up last year on
the Lilly vein. south of the shaft on
the nineteenth level. The ore shoot
has a sharp pitch to the north and was
encountered on the twentieth level,
directly under the shaft. Development
has been conducted thru raise with
the use of an air hoist but the COM
