a stimulating effect on business in

CHICAGO.


Chicago. May 17.-Merchants here
are beginning to realize that the
volume Of business this spring is
likely TO be limited In other words
1t will require more than attrac-
tive prices to stimulate buying, but
the stores offering the newest
styles, the best quality and the low
est price will finish the season with
no complaint to register.
Relaxation Of these facts may &C
count for the heavy volume of ad-
vertising which all newspapers are
carrying. With competition ex-
ceedingly keen, live retailers are
going after the business and seem
to be getting it. Many of the small
er stores are not faring so well
and already are resorting to sales
which ordinarily would not be held
until weeks later in the season.
Bad weather has restricted spring
buying, but the large department
stores already are putting out their
summer millinery displays.
Mail order houses are not all
maintaining the volume of business
they reached in the early spring
This shows that the farmers are
buying cautiously despite the fact
that they are getting higher prices
for the products. The steel mills
in this district continue to produce
at a high rate. The sheet mills of
the International are not running
at capacity because of the difficulty
in securing efficient labor.
NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, La. May 1.-THE

ginning of the year orders to the
mills of the Southern Pine associa-
ton totalled about $4,000, 900 feet a
week Last week the same mills
received orders for LOT 900 900 feet.
New business is running about 30

Miners Must Be Qualified

to work at their trade. They must possess a
miners certificate to show that they can mine

unit in illinois in believing that they could not
operate their properties without union miners.
There is very good reason for exacting qualifi-

ing Of . miner for the reason that skill is nee
essary and one must have knowledge Of many
things in a mine both for his own welfare and
the welfare Of the other miners
Mining is not hit and miss occupation that
anyone can follow. 1t takes experience to
make miner who knows the business. The
man on the street in the presence of the ex-
aminer, himself a miner of standing, would
find himself incapable of answering the quear
tons asked him. We do not know what is re-
quired in other states, but the standing exacted
by Illinois law is reasonable. Operators with
valuable mines would be very loath to send into
them men who know very little about the trade
Therefore coal mining is being classed
among the skilled callings, and properly So

II the railroad strike il to be concluded
quickly an agreement between the shoplaen
and the companies must be reached through
conference. The railroad labor board, which
is responsible for the wage scale that started
the troubls. has proposed conference OF union
officials and railroad executives to debate the
decision in question. Out Of q doubtful defer
ence to the Same board the executives refuse to
discuss the award unless the shopmen return
to work under the terms. They prefer to re-
gard the award as much more sacred than it
ever has appeared in the eyes of the men who
drew it.
B. NJ, Jewell replies for the men that the
strike will not be called off as preliminary
to talking terms and charges that the railroads
do not want a settlement at present that they
are out to break the union. Whether this is
true or not negotiations cannot begin until the
representatives Of the Dads alter their posi-
ton. As things stand the country faces an in
definite period OF belated ,r interrupted service.
The roads elect to fight it out at the expense
Of the public.
Some indication OF what the strike may cost
in time, money and lives can be gathered from
the facts that the maintenance OF way en-
ployes. 400, 900 strong, have voted to go out and
may do so, that 5000 stationary engineers and
firemen have been ordered to quit. and that
violence seems imminent in a number OF states
and cities. 1t was the shopmen who struck,
but it is the executives of the roads who in
sist on war to the bitter end.
Locally the Injunction has heen resorted to
by the Rock Island road TO restrain the shop
men from picketing at Stvis. The men have nc
alternative but to bow to the order of the court
and 1t is hoped and believed that they will dc
10. It is unfortunate tina. the strike has been
permitted to go as far as it has gone, but the
men on strike will get farther with their cause
by adhering to q peaceful course than by re-
kisting the command of the federal court. Such
action on their part would put the next move Ut
to the government, and that would mean the
calling Of troops. The men on strike are need
I'd by the railroads, AMI it is inevitable that in
time they will return to their jobs.
