ARCTIC PATHS

Vilhiamur Stefansson, explorer and lover Of the
friendly Arctic, has word to say in current mag
azre about the shortness of the Arctic paths He says
that lover the Arctic like network of the future, lie
the shortest the safest and the easiest flying roads
between many of the richest countries Of the world
Until we them, he thinks shall be badly off
rs the old sailors who had to around Good Hope and
the Horn before the Suez and Panama Canals dug
"But there no canals to dig in the Arctic, only
shackles of the mind to loosen and pry off"
1t seems pretty often, to those who think about
and things and affairs that pryng off the shackes of
the mind is apt to prove harder at least longer
task than digging canals building evees or pyra-
mids But there are many flyers nowadays, and many
explorers of the far north Every of them does his
bit al prying loose those shackles.
one day perhaps, we shall know the north as it u.s. no
longer terrible but beautiful, and useful whal in hu
man service.

AN Old FLAG

There a memorable scene at Mariana, Fla,
the other day when three aged northern veterans of the
Civil War presented to the survivors of Confederate
brigade tattered flag taken in Tennessee in 1854.
This flag said the spokesman, has been bathed in
the blood of both North and South. Because it
taken within lines behind our own breastworks
had priced its possession highly. But pleasure
in returning it to the whose courage we had
admire and forced to respect is greater than
our pride in its possession
Reading this, wonders how long it will be until
there similar in Europe participated in by
veterans of the World War.

COAL
STRIKE ILLEGAL
SAYS ATTY. GEN.

DENVER, NOV. IS /. qP-Backed by
an opinion by Attorney General
Boatright, that the strike Of miners
in the Colorado coal fields was illegal,
members of the state industrial com
mission were hopeful tonight that
the miners could be induced to return
to work and then submit their claims
for arbitration in manner prescribed
by law. ts s'is'9Yil
Attorney General Roatright's opin-
ion, delivered today, held that the
strike had not been legally called.
as the men who signed the
strike notice were not representatives
of the miners. The opinion said that
the industrial commission had the
power to file informations if viola
tions of the industrial law came to
their notice and that they also had
the authority to seek injunctive relief
ir the courts.
The newly formed state law cr-
forcenient department got its first
touch of action in the southern
Colorado fields early today. Chief
Louis N. Scherf and his Is men
deputy sheriffs and mine guards
used fists, pick handles and pistol
butts against strikers at Berwind
Canon in Las Animas county. The
strikers, about 500 in number, over
wheIn1ed the officers and marched
to the store at Berwind, but the
officers prevented the holding of a
mass meeting there. However, neither
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany mines in the Canon-the
Tobasco and Berwind- worked today
because of the demonstration.
Twelve persons, including Amelia
SaSlich, the 10 year old girl who
leads the strikers attired in a red
dress, were arrested and placed in
Jail at Trinidad today.
4 Most of the mines in southern
Colorado reported an increased work.
! ing force today, but the closing OF
the Tobasco and Berwind mines
dropped the total of miners at work
below that of yesterday.
