the Industrial Commission may desig-

miners. At the close of each meet
ing ballot (either open or seeret)
can be taken on the following ques-

l. Do you approve of the demands
submitted to the mining companies
by the l. w. W?
2. Do you consider the Aguilar
Conference held on September 18th
was representative of the coal miners
of Southern Colorado?
3. Do you want to be represented

1t would be necessary, of course
that these meetings be arranged for
such time when the mines are not
working, in order to get a full at
tendance of the miners; also that
steps be taken to prevent intimida-
ton of the miners either by repre-
sentatives of the mining companies
or by officials or organizers of the

by the Industrial Commission.
Provided that these meetings arc
not stacked by the mining companies
(by denying admittance to those who
may favor the demands) the Strike
| Committee is willing to accept the
vote of the coal miners of Southern
Colorado on these propositions. Ir
this way the Industrial Commission
can arrive at just conclusion as t.
the wishes of the coal miners Of
Southern Colorado.
To advance the best interests Of
the coal miners Of Colorado is the
object of this Strike Committee. We
are more interested in gaining fol

Nicholson Studies
Light as Daughter
WGdS in New York

SADENA, Cal, Sept. 20.
DIR. A. A. Nicholson, winner of the
Nobel prize in physics score of
years ago, is computing figures COM
piled through quarter of a century
of scientific observations to confirm
his deductions as to the velocity of
light. In the opinion of Dr. Michel
son it is 188,284 miles per second,
some 100 miles at variance with pre-
vious estimates Of astronomers and
physicists.
Flashing Mirrors.
An eight-sided mirror is being in
stalled on Mount Wilson, which will
be revolved to flash light upon a
stationary mirror on Mount San
.Tacinto. Knowing the exact distance
between the peaks the scientist ex-
poets to obtain accurate figures on
the time required to transmit the
beam of light between the points.
DR.. Nicholson has conducted sim
liar experiments between Mount Will
son and Mount Badly, % miles dis
tant.
The Ether Problem
As another series of experiments
here DR.. Nicholson proposes to test
the ether drift phase of the Einstein
relatively theory The Nicholson
Morley experiment of 30 years ago
is said to have spurred Dr. Albert
Einstein in evolving his working
hypothesis for explaining the struc-
ture of the universe.
This experiment, in brief, estab-
lished that the earth is drifting with

supposed to fill all interstellar space,

administration of harboring grafters

THE mayor is also somewhat peeved
over the report that he objected
to the presence of colored people in
Rome cabaret which he patronized.
Should this story prove well-founded
and should news of the incident seep
into the recesses of Harlem, it would
be enough to render null and void all
the efforts expended by Tammany in
the past to bring the Negro vote into
the Tammany wigwam. A plausible
explanation of the alleged incident
may be found in the mayors digestive
indisposition which resulted in his
physician forbidding him to indulge in
beverages that reduce political eau
ton.
AL SMITH is a wet but he is ready
IA to sacrifice his bibbling followers
to his presidential ambition. A hardy
wight by the name of ,Cuvillier, q
Tammany lawmaker, insists on intro
dueing a potatory resolution at the
democratic state convention. The
sachems of the tribe, tho they like
to look at the beaker while it foams,
think discretion is the better part of
politics, so they are fabricating a
gag for Cuvillier which they hope to
insert in his nav when the business
of launching AIS presidential boom
will be tackled seriously at the con-
vention. Al is wet, and that should
satisfy the boys.
VOW little prediction promises
a mean to capitalist politician is
again demonstrated by William Hale
Thompson of Chicago who before his
return to city hall promised thru his
man Coath, president of the Board
of Education, that the salaries of Chi
cago teachers would be raised to a
fair and equitable standard" Now,
this same Coath insists that teachers
salaries must suffer 20 per cent
slash. Had the Chicago teachers been
as active in organizing a Labor
Party as some Of them have been in
roofing for either Thompson or
Dever, they would not be treated like
mendicants by the successful capital
list candidate. And had Dever been
successful his president Of the Board
of Education would have threatened
similar cut.
