Paper Genius Dies
The paper manufa curing trade
generally will learn with regret the
passing away of c. f. Pope who for
some years has been retained by the
Great Northern Paper Company in
Millinocket and who passed away at
the hotel, in Millinocket, on Tuesday.
He was found dead in his room ap-
parently a victim of heart failure. A
brilliant inventive genius he special
lied in paper manufacture and it was
his work that made the high rate of
speed Of big paper machines possible
by his air device which takes paper
from the wire over the presses and
driers to the stacks. The Pope reel
was another of his great ideas and
many other improvements in paper
machinery are traceable to his fertile
brain.

JAFrA, Palestine, March %. The
British administration in Palestine is
trying to stamp out some OF the peculiar
superstitions of the fellaheen tpeasants)
and has appointed committee of dis
trict Governors to advise IL as to the
best method Of attaining that purpose
After four years of occupation the
authorities are beginning to realize that
superstition plays al important role IN
keeping the peasants in ignorance.
Some Of the native beliefs are very
interesting. One Government official
discovered that he had transgressed a
tradition the other day when he stepped
over q baby's coat as he crossed viii
lage street. His action was noticed by
a group OF women, who halted him and
told him he would have to- retrace his
steps or the baby would surely die. AS
their attitude was menacing, he did so
to save himself from attack.
The same official on another occasion
was invited to take lunch with the
Moukhtar (head) OF a village. As he
entered the guest chamber he stumbled
and he fell headlong on the floor. The
bost told him that his falling was sure
to bring bad luck to the village enless
he saw fit to forego the lunch.

Birth of Joint Meetings.

The circular, issued jointly By miners
and operators for their 1885 conference,
gave this description Of the proposals:
This Is the first movement OF a ma
tional character in America taken with
the intention OF the establishment OF
labor conciliation."
From the conference resulted an
agreement, executed at Columbus, Ohio
February 23 1886, which fixed a wage
scale In the soft coal fields of western
Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and
West Virginia, and created a board Of
arbitration. on which the miners and
operators had equal representation.
Similar agreements were made annually
until 1895. when the panic of 1898, having
set in, demorallzed the coal trade. re-
srlting in the breaking off Of negotia-
tens. but these were revived again in
1895, and continued down to the present
time.
The initiative in this Joint move
ment' was taken by the miners. Their
convention at indianapolis decided TO
issue a call to all operators for a joint
meeting on October Is, 1886, at Chicago
Daniel Mclaughlin of Illinois, chairman
Of the convention, was the father OF the
plan. He first proposed IL in a letter
TO the National Labor Tribune in 1885.
and later brought it to the attention OF
the miners delegate convention. As a
result the convention directed Chris
Evans of New Straitsville, Ohio now
historian OF the United Mine Workers OF
America. to invite all operators to Chi
cago for conference for the purpose OF
adjusting market and mining prices in
such way as TO avoid strikes and lock-
outs and give to each party an increased
profit from the sale OF coal"
The proposal so made was, according
TO the old miners. like asking the lion
and the tiger 10 lie down together, for
the coal industry previously had been
replete with many strikes or lockouts
In 1884 the great Ohio Hooking Valley
strike had occurred, continuing until the
early part Of 1885; when 1t was finally
settled, leaving both sides suffering from
battle scars.

BIRTH OF THE SYSTEM

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March % (Asso-
ciated Press) Back of the impending
coal strike lies the issue whether the
present form OF collective bargaining
the negotiations that take place be-
tween employers and employees acting
in groups on a wage contract-shall
survive in the coal industry. The
present form has developed during the
last four decades.
AS it exists in the soft coal indus
try, collective bargaining began in
1885, that year marking the first inter
state joint conference OF the organized
miners and their employers. In the
anthracite regions of Pennsylvania it
grew out Of the great strike Of 1902,
which was settled by a commission
named by Theodore Roosevelt, then
President
But to-day. especially in the soft coal
fields, the 'joint movement of oper-
ators and miners, such being the trade
reference to the collective bargaining
sy stem, faces an unprecedented situa-
tion. No interstate wage conference
seems probable because OF the refusal
OF some operators to continue the pres
ent system. Both criminal and civil
proceedings in the Federal court here
attack the legality OF the whole bar
gaining movement. alleging that It is a
conspiracy to boost the price of coal,
ard 'fo~ sae first time, agreements IN
both the bituminous and anthracite
fields expire on the same date, March
g..
Long before the present bargaining
had been made between operators and
their employees. the first having been
that negotiated in 1869 between some
anthracite miners and operators by
John Siney, known as the father OF the
mir ers movement in America. But
these agreements-when they were made
In the early days-oniy affected small
areas and did not touch the thousands
of miners as do those of to-day.
