Washington, April 2O.-"You can
not take a man from the farm to-
day and put him into a mine and
make a miner OF him at once" said
Congressman Ricketts, of Ohio, in a
spirited defense of the miners on
the floor Of the. house.
You have to teach him. 1t is a
highly important business and very
hazardous. A man has to know
something of the conditions of min
ing and of the mine; he has to
know something of electricity; he
has to know something of the air
and coal formation. He must be able
to judge whether the air is pure or
otherwise. He has to be able to lay
the tracks: he must be able to tim
Der the roof of the mine. All of
these, and many other things, he
can not learn in a day. It takes a
cient miner.
II have been flooded with pro-
paganda that the coal miners of the
country are responsible for the high
price Of coal. Nothing could be far
Their from the truth. For years these
men have lived on starvation wages
because of a lack of work. They
could have made a fair living for
themselves and families if they
could have had reasonably steady
work.
THE press of the country, in pub
fishing the propaganda, has made
a great hullabaloo out Of the fact
that the miners are demanding six
hours per day and five days per
week. If they were to get that many
hours per day and days per week
regularly it would more than dou-
BILE the average employment per
year, and would also double the
production, and would make cheaper
coal to the people of the country
The miners do not work by the day
but by the ton. This proposition does
not mean demand for fewer hours
and days per week, but in reality
it means an increase to them in
hours and days per week. and q
more equal distribution of employ.

DEMOCRACY IN \. MEXICO
URGED BY UMONlSTS

Washington, April 13.-Through
the development Of the Mexican
trade union movement it will be i'm
possible hereafter for General This
or That to stage revolution in that
country, says Canuto A. Vargas,
Spanish language secretary Of the
Pan-American Federation Of Labor,
writing in American Federationist.
THE almost total absence of
bloodshed during the movement
against Carranza," says Secretary
Vargas, ''can be traced directly
without fear of exaggeration, to the
activities of the organized workers,
whose leaders, in groups of two and
three, covered every state Of the
republic two months prior to the re-
volution and organized the program
which was to be later carried out
with such precision and regularity.

States, if not the first. to receive

Mexico if Carranza persisted in his
obstinate intention to dictate to the
country who should be his success
sor to the presidency.
"And it is for the reason that the
Mexican people are in sympathy
with their present government, and
support its policies, domestic and
foreign, that I say that the impend-

been reading in the American dailies,

steam pump with capacity OF IL
million gallons day and steam

Three quarters of a century ago
a group of enterprising far-seeing
citizens recognized the need of water
supply for the protection OF the health
of its citizens as we'll as safeguard
against fires
The Alexandria Water Company
was the result and throughout its
career these public spirited progress
sive men who from time to time have
been at the head of its management
have made themselves felt as potent
factors in the upbuilding of the city
and its eXpansion-in fact there has
been no single factor which has done
more TO develop Alexandria than the
water company.
1t is perhaps the only privately
owned water company which free OF
charge supplies the city MIGRANTS with
water, thus affording protection
against CONGREGATIONS, and the sup
ply is always ample to take care of
any emergency with which the city
may be confronted.
