Against Their Own Interests

THE conference between the bituminous
l coal miners and the railroad brother
hoods. to be held in Chicago February II.
Is causing some uneasincss in the industrial
world, III view OF tho fact that an effort
will be made to effect some form of alliance
between the miners and the railroad work
crs whereby the railroad unions would come
to the support of the miners in the event
the latter call II strike upon the expiration
OF their present contract on March 81. That
such an alliance will be formed, for the pur-
pose mentioned. would seem to be highly
improbable
II would he altogether against the best
interests of the railroad brothcrhoods to
enter into such an agreement. Moro than
any other labor interest the railroad work
ors are dependent on an abundant supply Of
coal for steady employment at rcmunera-
tive wage. Not only do the railroads rely
on coal for their own motive power but a
very large proportion of their earnings comes
from the revenues derived from hauling
coal to supply both the fuel and industrial
needs of the country. To support a strike
that even for brief period would deprive
the roads OF this source OF revenue would
be to undermine the industry which gives
them employment. Furthermore, without
coal. factory production would be stopped
entailing further loss of freight from that
source. With nothing to haul, the rail
roads would of necessity have to reduce their
forces TO the minimum of service require
ments. Hence. of all labor organizations.
the railroad unions are most vitality interest
ed in keeping up the maximum output OF
coal.
Railroad brotherhood leaders know this.
~ the Chicago conference their influence
will likely he against resort TO extreme
measures. They are not unaware that a
general strike participated in by miners and
raliroad workers would prccipitatc situa-
non so full of menace to tho American poo
pie that the government might be forced to
take charge of the situation to save the
country from disaster.

Health Talks by DR.. Brady
Dress md Discomfort.

The majority OF the moro Intelligent Young
women nowadays have disability from
mcnstrusai disorder. The majority of young
women n generation or TWO ago did suffer dis
ability from such dinicuty-which accounts
for the morbid custom OF referring to mem

There are two very good reasons why young
women today do not suffer as their mothers
and grandmothcrs suffered in their Girlhood.
The first reason is that young women today
dress with some little sense whereas gen
Grafton or two ago they dressed without sense

advise To loosen the corscts when trying To
restore the woman TO consciousness Mother
and grandma cut some sorry didos when they
were your age girls. yes, they did, and they
paid for their nonsense. too
The second reason why the modern young
woman does not suffer as her mother grand :
mother did in Iirihood is that i; Is fash

athletics. whereas in mothers or Irandma's
