Among the many activities Of the
American Mining congress, one that
promises eventually to bring about
most important practical results is

ganized in twenty -four mining states
and by means OF a QUESTIONABLE sent
to representatives. of all branches Of
the mining industry it is gathering
fund of information regarding the re-
lation of employers and employees
which VIII be available to all in deal
ing with industrial problems The
division is founded upon the PROPOSE
ton that Industrial cooperation is the
key to the solution to all those ques-
tons which create friction between
employer and employe, and which un-
der the present system often lead to
strikes which invariably prove disas-
trous to both parties to the contro-
versy and to the public as well. to say
nothing of the loss of life and property /
through acts of violence. What might .
be termed the creed of the American .

division of Industrial cooperation i.

DUTIES OF A LEGISLATOR
Is legislators path strewn with
roses? Indeed it is far from that.
There are perhaps more thorns and
stumbling blocks placed in a legisla-
tors path than in that of any other
public office-holder.
A legislator must have strong
will. fair mind, good habits and above
all respect the wishes OF his fellow
citizens.
