EDITOR, DEAD.
Owned Many Recommendations From
Office Boy To Peerage.

London.-Viscount Northcliffe, noted
British publicist, died Monday morn
ing. News of Lord Northcliffes death
was given out by the doctors who
have been attending him in this bull
letin:
"Viscount Northcliffe died at 1912
o'clock. The end was perfectly peace
full"
The death of no other unofficial per-
son could have made deeper impres.
sion in England than that of Lord
Northcliffe. The news was not sur
prise, as the bulletins issued by the
doctors for the last week plainly in
dicated that their patient was dying.
Later it was stated that the cause
of Lord Northcliffe's death was sup
puration, or the production of pus
within the heart, which was followed
by acute blood poisoning.
Lord Northcliffe was by far the
most noted figure in British journal
ism, and the first question on every
ones lips was as to what effect his
death will have on the policies of
the Times and his other newspapers,
which since the end of the war have
strongly opposed Lloyd George.

Significant Facts Pointed Out
BY Child Labor Bureau
EDUCATION IS NEGLECTED.
Situation OF Boys In Mines And Cot.
ton Mills Cited AS Worst OF
Aldo Work Of
Men.

New York.-The Census Bureau re-
ported that 1,060,S5S children between
the ages of 10 and 16 were engaged
in gainful occupations.
Behind this announcement, accord
ing to Wiley H. Swift, of the National
Child Labor Bureau, and Heber Blank.
enhorn, of the Bureau of Industrial Re-
search, lie the following facts:
That 65S,9SS boys and girls between
the ages of 10 and Is follow the beet
crops in Michigan and Colorado, the
onion crops in Ohio, pick cotton in the
South and West, and, as hired help,
work on the truck farms around large
cities.
In the beet fields families are taken
by contractors from field to field. The
children pull the beets as long as day
light lasts, sleep in temporary shacks,
and their wages are received by their
parents. Because they are constantly
moving no provision can be made for
their education and no supervision ex-
ercised over their hours or living and
working conditions.
Squads of children are taken an
nually from Kentucky to Ohio to har.
vest the onion crop. They also work
from dawn to dark, move constantly
from place to place, and their wages
are taken by their parents.
There is no limitation of the hours
of work in the cotton fields. Children,
dragging a bag in which the cotton is
stuffed, walk up and down between
the rows as long as it is light For
this they receive from So to SIS a week.
What boys bound out on the farms
of this country do and how long they
work." said Mr.. Swift, "can only be
guessed at. They do everything a full
grown man does unless it is too heavy
and sometimes they do that"
Seven thousand three hundred and
eighty-four children between the ages
of 10 and Is work in the mines of this
country. In the coal mines they are
chiefly employed as breaker boys,
trappers and scraggers. They all work
under the same conditions as the adult
miners
More than $4,000 children, by the es-
innate of the Child Labor Committee,
are spinning girls and doffer boys in
textile factories.

parts of the country. Because of bet.
ter feeding, better breeding, and bet
ter care, cows owned by association
members are much better than the gen.
eral run of cows. The estimated pro-
duction per head of all the dairy cows
in the United States is approximately
1900 pounds of milk and 100 pounds of
butterfat year. The association
cows are about so per cent better,
producing an average of GOT pounds
of milk and 24S pounds of butterfat.
According to figures based on 1904
yearly individual COW records, as but
terfat production increased from 100
to 400 pounds there was regular in
crease of about SIG in income over
feed cost per COW for every so pounds
of increase in average production of
butterfat. AS the yield of .butterfat
increased from 900 pounds to 1896
pounds, the returns above the dollar
expended for feed increased from 35
cents to $1.52.
The cows having an average milk
production of $3.50 pounds showed an
average income of 1925 over the cost
Of feed, while those producing. 1880
pounds showed an average income of
$21S.19 over feed cost. The cows in
the latter group produced about four
times as much as those in the other
group, and their average income over
cost Of feed was nearly seven times as
great. The increase in income above
feed cost grew regularly with the in
crease in production.
A study of these records shows that
it pays best to put feed into big pro-
ducers, even though they are big eat
ers, says the department.

END OF SOFT
COAL STRIKE
New Wage Pact Is Signed at
Cleveland
100000 RETURN TO WORK
Fact-Findng Commission Created To
Be Chosen BY Both Sides
Ana Approved BY
Harding.
100000 RETURN TO WORK

Clevelaad.-The soft coal strike was
virtually broken Monday night. The
signing of the contract will actually
end the strike in part.
All details of the agreement were
accepted in principle by both miners
and operators.
The agreement, it was said would
provide for re-establishment of the
wage scales that were effective last
April 1, and the new contract would
run until next March 81.
1t was also decided to establish a
fact-finding commission of advisory
powers for dealing with future nego-
tiations in the soft-coal industry. The
commission would be chosen by min
ers and operators, with the personnel
to be approved by the President
Operators controlling approximate
ly 6O,0O0,000 tons annual production
were represented in the conference.
Their mines were understood to be in
Central Pennsylvania, Western Penn
sylvania. Indiana, Illinois, Northern
West Virginia and Michigan.
Under the decision of the confer
ence, 1t was understood that any soft.
coal operators anywhere in the coun-
try might become parties to the agree.
ment, the reopening of their mines to
follow Immediately. These operators,
1t was said, might sign the agreement
as individuals or by State or district
organizations.
The terms Of the settlement mark a
breakdown in the system of collective
bargaining that has grown up in the
soft-coal industry since 1884. 1t means
the abandonment for the present, at
least, of the central competitive field,
comprising Western PENNSYLVANIA
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, as the basis
for fixing wages in fields outside the
four States. In the past wage con-
tracts have been made for the central
field, and those of outlying districts
have been fixed on the central field
scale
This is not the first time, however
that the wage-making machinery on
the central field basis has broken
down. 1t failed in 1906, and was not
fully re-established until 1910.
The new plan of settlement is a
fundamental change in the policy of
the United Mine Workers of America
No exact estimate of the number of
miners who will be put back to work
under the settlement was obtainable
but varied between $4,000 and 10O, 900

will continue at their mines
AS a result of the progress made by
operators and miners, Governor Harry
L. Davis, of Ohio, announced he would
call off the conference of Governors OF
five coal-producing States that was to
have met here to consider the strike
situation. He also announced that he
would withdraw Ohio militiamen, who
