DRIFTS And RAISES
(This column contributed by Butte
Miners Union No. -

The union has been informed by Mr..
DAILY that the Company is willing to CO.
operate 100 per cent in eliminating
blasting at noon. In fact, he stated
the Company had already been work.
ing along this line when the strike took
place. They are also installing water
sprays in the skip pockets to settle the
dust when loading skips. Now these
improvements are very commendable
and if continued, We may eventually
catch up to the more advanced mining
countries, as regards the health and
working conditions of the miners.
In South Africa, for instance, it is a
mortal sin to blast during the shift.
There are water spray devices in every
working place which are turned on
after a blast, thoroughly wetting down
the muck pile and settling all dust.
The mine air is Systematically sampled
and analysed for dust content. As a
result of these modern and humani-
tartan methods, the a~ttack-rate OF
silicosis on the men is steadily de-
Ginning.
The same practices are in effect in
Ontario. Water sprays, sampling the
air and counting the dust particles,
adequate ventilation, all these things
conduce to the health and efficiency
of the miners. OF course, these min
ing companies did not adopt such
methods out of the goodness of their
hearts, only. The miners disabled by
~silicosis receive compensation, which is
paid by the mining companies and adj
ministered by the state. There is no
record of these mining companies go
ing broke and neither have they had
prolonged and expensive strikes.
Silicosis damage suits, by the way,
are getting to be quite a racket in the
eastern states. 1t is said that certain
INSCRIPTIONS lawyers look up a victim
of silicosis, have him file a damage
suit and split $3.50. There is estimated
to be an aggregate of $250,00O,0OO in
s%ilicosis damage suits pending before
the courts.
A widow was recently awarded S10,-
600 in an eastern state. A miner in
Missouri was awarded $4,000 for
Silicosis. This situation is the same as
that which preceded the accident COM
pensation laws, which are now in eff
feet in all but four states. History
will repeat itself and we shall, within
a few years, have compensation for
occupational disease in all but the
most backward states. Whether the
cost is high or low will depend greatly
on the preventive measures adopted by
the industries causing such diseases.
Without mixing our proverbs too
much let us say that coming events
cast their shadows before and it's a
wise man who knows when he is be-
hind the times.
When a man bites a dog, that's
news. And when the governors of
two states call out the National Guard
for some other purpose than to smash
strikes and shot down unarmed work
ers, that also is news. In Arizona the
troops have been called out in a comic
opera war over Arizona's water rights.
In Alabama they were called out over
a political squabble. The yellow-legs
in Alabama have one advantage, how
ever. They had a lot Of practice in
the recent coal, iron and textile strikes
and should by this time be finished
and expert killers.

WASHINGTON.-It is indicated in
responsible labor circles here that,
aside from any consideration Of parti-
san politics, organized labor is well
pleased with results Of the 1884 cleo
ton, particularly in the case Of U. S.
Senators and Members Of Congress.
A large number of Senators and
Congressman believed friendly to the
aims and aspirations Of organized labor
were elected while many who have
been regarded as u%nfriendly failed OF
election. This is taken to Indicate the
growing interest of the labor movement
in following labor's well established
policy of Support our friends and de-
feat our enemies" while clearly demon
strating the effectiveness of the votes
Of organized wage earners.
Parker List Grows.
One OF the interesting features of the
election, from the labor viewpoint, is
the defeat of a number of additional

groes as rike-breakers has been
taken by Executive Director James H.

Matching up to the age OF months. 1t Is
obligatory that the chicks be Safeguarded
against the cold, driving rains which frequently
occur in May. Exposure to good drenching
usually means death and disaster in the
youngIng flock
Mr.. Bridges aScertained in time that he would
have to resort to artificial incubation In order
to raise brood stock in sufficient numbers to
be effective in restocking depleted preserves,
parks and woodlands His preliminary work
in selling brood stock to State conservation So
cieties, hunting clubs and both public and
private preserves had demonstrated that there
was a keen demand for propagation stock.
All that was necessary to prove to the
buyers that the breeders were pure representa-
tives of the species which had not been con-
taminated by mixtures of barnyard turkey blood.
Wild turkeys racy typed, more gamey
looking birds than their domesticated relatives.
The wild species has longer and less blocky
body and longer legs. These birds are particu-
Iarly keen-sighted and usually have to be shot
on the wing. They are good flyers. Mr.. Bridges
told me about wild turkeys which he had
watched fly from mountain crest 1,800 feet
above sea level that did not alight until they
had Travelled more than one mile from their
take-off The Eastern wild turkey is a brilliant
copperish- brown in color with the tips OF tail
covertS and main tail feathers Of yellowiSh-
bronze or chestnut-brown hue.
This Maryland sportsman appreciated that
he would have to isolate his brood stock on
a large tract of land far from all communicating
influences. He happened to be member Of
the Woodmont Rod and Gun Club, which has a
6Oo0-acre tract inclosed by high fence in the
Western Maryland mountains just across the
Potomac River from Berkeley Springs, w. Va.
