Washington, July 20.-The twin
coal and rail strikes to date have
caused loss of $533,000,000 to
workers, employers and American
industry generally and the figures
grow hourly, according to best est
mates made today by government
statisticians.
Railway workmen and coal miners
lose in the aggregate $7,500,0A0 a
Gay in wages. The total loss tc
date in both the coal and rail
strikes in point of wages is $685.
100000 The loss to coal opera
tors, figuring on an average of 81
per ton for bituminous coal that
would have been mined during the
sixteen weeks of the strike. is ap-
proximately $240o00,000. The total
daily loss in coal production. both
bituminous and anthracite, is av-
eraged at 100000 tons.
The number of men on strike in
the twin tie-ups is between l .250000
and 100000. OF these $4,000 are
miners and $4,000 rail workers.
The men involved in the coal
strike include 100000 bitumin9us
and 100000 anthracite miners. One
hundred thousand of the miners or
strike are said to have Joined the
union since April 1, the date of the
walkout.
The men involved in the rail
strike include 100000 shop crafts
workers, 5000 stationary fireman
and oilers and about $4,000 others
from various brotherhoods, includ
ing about 10000 maintenance of
way men. Trackmen numbering
100000 are threatening to walk out
It was pointed out by a govern
ment official today that the public
will suffer most inasmuch as the
public will be caught Coming and
going" If the strikes continue
the public will suffer from lack OF
facilities to move necessities and
from lack Of one of the necessities
After the strike ends. the public
will have to foot the bill of the twin
tie-ups-as freight coal rates are
bound to soar as the only avenue o!
industrial financial recovery.
The issues involved in either
strike, briefly defined are:

many ways. but persons who give them

truth as they see it are not likely TO find
themselves popular in the long run.
But ii was when he went back TO Coop

really hot water. There was a part Of the
property which Judge Cooper had left on
the shores of Otsego Lake that was
variously known as Three Mile Point" or
wild Rose Point" or Myrtle Grove" 1t

Cooper demanded that the newspapers take

brought suits against them. and as he hap

ownership of the property he always won
the suits. Thereupon the newspapers left

points upon which 10 abuse him
But Cooper was bound to have the last
word. and in 1888 he published the two
novels "Homeward Bound and Home as

the form of fiction. They told the story Of
a family who returned 10 America after a
long stay abroad and found everything
common and unclean. especially the news

his mind is nearer TO what is creative in
the poets mind than that of any novelist,
and his method nearer to the method of

humiliations. But precisely where Lear

What Matters the Source?

NIHO were the authors of those songs
w Burns made over into his mas
terpieces? Who were those drama
fists and chroniclers whom Shakespeare
rewrote? The names in many cases can
be looked up, but they are of no ac-
count. The world feels that the great
writer conferred benefit by improving
on the earlier work What is far more
important, the world also feels that the
great writer, in improving on another
mans work, actually invaded no private
rights, for the material of literature is
life, and life is no ones private property.
After the invention of printing writers
saw the possibility of financing dividends
from their works, and plagiarism is an
aspect of this financial question, but it
has otherwise nothing to do with art
The world in general continues to think
of art in the old way, as creation rather
than as business, and it quite properly
cares little who does the creating, or who
afterwards receives a money reward.

Or was it really Homer? Or who besides

unsuccessful grocer. Anton was born at
Taganrog, a small seaport on a gulf of
the Black Sea, Jan. IL, 1860. He had
four brothers and one sister While
boy he attended the local Greek school;
and, although his father was unsuccess-
full as a merchant, his devotion to his
family was praiseworthy. He taught
them music. singing, violin and piano;
in fact, trained them into a choir.
Languages they learned from a French
governess. The influence of the mother
is shown by Chekhov's remark in his
later years, "Our talents we got from
our father, but onr souls from our
mother" In 1876 the family removed
to Moscow, but Anton remained at Tag
anrog and went to high school, earning
his own living and paying his own tu-
-ition. After three years he Joined the
family and entered the university The
father at this time was working away

Murger: "King of Bohemia"

DOR some time he lived with the de-

who had made her life purgatory. Often
hungry, penniless, warmed only by the
glow of their romance, they laughed at
their enemy Time, Murger managing now
and then to address enough envelopes to
pay for a breakfast, or to sell a few
stories to some obscure magazine. Then
she left him for one of his more prosper
Gus friends, and in abject misery, cold

One Side of Sinclair Lewis.

MIR. LEWIS'S greatest talent is
A'1 mimicry. He is an amazingly bril-
liant mimic. He can take a train from
New Haven to New York and reproduce
in manner, voice and intonation a half
dozen types on that train so that they
are visibly recreated. The mimic is
usually a caricaturist and a satirist, and
Mr.. Lewis is no exception to this rule.
Caricature, by overemphasizing certain
peculiarities, makes the picture more
convincing. for such are the salient char
acteristics that separate the victim from
other men. The satirist has little ap-
probation of the virtue of cooperation,
of sinking ones interests in the endeavor
to advance the general welfare To him

he has enough to eat he is an individ
