cesca" attracted the talents of
Otis Skinner in 1901. This was the
q. II. Boxers version of the story
with the crippled ard hunchback
Giovanni as the dominating char
acter of the play. Even the out
standing talents of Miss Cowl in
the Phillips poetic prose telling do
not submerge the prominence of
the pitiful Giovanni as played by
Sir Guy Standing.

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 13.-Ar-

public service, thus the strike of the
railroad workers throughout the
country acquires a political import
ance as indicating determination to
defy the government and struggle
against it. This militant spirit di-
restly grows out of the influence of
the Latin American Trade Union
Confederation.
Argentina also has a minimum
wage law, but it is ignored. For two
years the railwaymen have been in
dispute demanding increased wages
for workers not receiving the mini
mum, an annual leave for shop and
warehouse workers not receiving
such, and inclusion Of all clerical
workers in the union so the manage
ment cannot underpay them and use
them against the workers of other
categories.
The demand finally rejected, the
railwaymen of the whole nation are
beginning a new kind of strike. The
first day for Is minutes. The second
day 80 minutes on strike--and so
on, adding Is minutes each day until
their demands are met or the roun1
of days makes up a full day-wher
the strike will be complete. So as
tonished are the railroad officials
and the Irigoyen government, that
no striker has yet been arrested
although it is expected that the
usual brutal strike-breaking of the
government will begin any day.

Here are the changes which l
watched taking place in three weeks.
Leaders have to set up cross-bars

nothing. They must also post the
machine-also no pay for yardage
in rooms the order is that leaders
must take care of their rooms and
if there is a slate fall on the entry
the leaders are told to clean that
slate for nothing, or go home.
In the Caldwell mine we had two

of the best ventilated mines in the
state. This mine operated under

such a thing as fire.
They have safety posters stuck
all round the shaft and even inside
the mine telling you to be careful
today as though a man was delib-

signs telling the company to install
proper safety appliances and help to
