THE TIMES PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY MOKNIKG, JUNE 19, 1886, 3 MISS SANDS' LUNACI. WOULD BK MOST FITTING. COLORED INSTRUCTORS. AMONG THE MINERS. The devices are many.

Some are transparent and some are ingenious. Strange to sav there is WE ALJ, SAIL And have started out to make a ratding run on the Serge Suits at $12.00 mentioned on Saturday last We've never before offered you anything like their value for the price, and we're very sure that there's no house in town offering you more, either in quality or style, for as many dollars. They're in Blue and Black, the one pure indigo, the other indigo foundation so to being the coolest Suit you can buy they have the added virtue of being a Suit that will not fade, and, therefore, one of the most serviceable for hot weather wear. Verily, what more can you ask for in a Summer Suit? Don't think, however, that we're trying to forestall your preference by insisting that you buy a Serge Suit. We're not.

There's no reason why we should, since we've made equal provision for the preferences of all. For those who prefer Flannels, we've Flannels in abundance. For those who prefer Cheviots, Cheviots without stint. For those who prefer Cassimeres, Cassimeres widi out limit. And so on through the whole list of Summer Suitings.

The likes of all have been taken into consideration in making up this grand stock of Summer Clothing and none will find diemsekes restricted by a meagre assortment. We've taken into consideration, too, in making up this stock, something of quite as much im portance as your taste, 1. e. your purse. Our prices give unmistakable evidence of this fact.

But not our prices alone; for not only do we sell our goods as low in price as any house in the city can, but we sell them at these low prices on SMALL WEEKLY OR MONTHLY PAYMENTS, Making it possible for you to at once clothe yourself properly, despite the brevity of "cash on hand." The advantages of this system extend to our Custom Department, where we've every facility for doing really artistic work. Let us have your measure. something in human nature that takes to the false which would be agreeable if true. Barnum's way of putting it is, "People like to be humbugged." You are not logicians. Cheating is vulgar and mean.

You hate to suspect your neighbors. You would rather be cheated a little. And so you partly believe and pleasantly lose a little money and somehow get to thinking that advertisers never have much to do with the truth. And your doubting everything is worse than believing a little too much. A few examples: Silks and dress goods are offered every day in the papers in ways to draw you in to be disappointed if you know their values and cheated if you don't.

Laces are said to have been marked down in the papers when marked up would be truer. Parasols ditto. Millinery ditto. Ready made dresses and clothing ditto. Underwear ditto.

Jerseys ditto. Shoes ditto. Gloves ditto. In fact there is hardly a sort of merchandise having any chance of being sold in the summer that hasn't been said to be sold for less than its value within the past two weeks in the papers. And yet the advertisers will say as they read this very useful warning not that it isn't true but "you lie as well as we." We haven't a word to say in our own behalf.

We have pointed out what is going on among the advertisers. Our object is to save you present loss and to get you to think for yourselves and distinguish betzveen ridiculous representations made by panic stricken merchants and steady news of the store from day to day. If we were only merchants and not in any way concerned for our neighbors' welfare, we'd rather they'd go right on as they are. You'll get to understand them in time. We are giving you a useful hint them too; but that is of no account.

Franklin gave it to them a hundred years ago in "Honesty is the Best Policy." They didn't take it; nor will they now. There are two ways to carry on business, the right way and a million wrong ones, and all the wrong ways are one. Almost all the existing competition is among those wrong ways and is due to their wrongness. We are fully persuaded that you are as anxious to buy as a merchant is to sell; and that all he has to do to get your trade in the long run is to have the things you want and seem to be honest; and the surest way to seem is to be. Which gives the proverb new meaning.

It is fair to tell how we know what merchants are doing behind their advertisements. We buy their goods. We must know. Can't depend on hear say. We mean to sell as low as we can afford in general but, afford it or not, we sell as low as anybody.

We'll sell at a loss at any time rather than let it be true that another store is below us. We must buy their goods. It's a rather expensive way of finding out what they are doing; but it's a great deal better than reading the papers. John Wanamaker. Chestnut, Thirteenth anil Marketstroets ('iti' lnill soutu'e.

MISFIT CUSTOM IT EO. KELLY 810 Market Street. OPEN TILL 6.30 P. M. Tho Cartons Menial Disorder of Brilliant Young Lady of Brooklyn, Special Dispatch to Tan Times.

Brooklyn, June 1SL Julia I. Sand, of 311 Hicks street, this city, a beautiful aud brilliant young lady of rare literary accomplishments and a well known contributor of the Century, Harptrt and other maga Elnes, has been removed to a private lunatic asylum at Mlddletown, In this State. It is the end of pathetic and aimless wanderings by Miss Sand in Various parts ot the country to find a clue to the whereabouts of a young mtn for wbom she formed au ardeut attachment three years ago at a summer resort near Mount Desert, Maine. Howard itomon, the youug man In question, who was also a native of Brooklyn and who was 'the Junior of Miss Suuds, was drowued before her eyes at Mount Desert. The tragedy, it appears, unsettled her mind.

She bas at times since the sad event believed that ha was still living and had been spirited away and was about to be murdered. At other times she has told stories of bow Howard was killed and by whom, constructing tho details of this and other alleged murders wlrb such keen acumen that several physicians who examined her at limes pronounced her case a most remarkable oue. She has of tale sent out by letter and telegraph to various persons in other cities charges of secret murder against prominent people, which have been the cause of great trouble to hor relatives and friends. Miss Sand is perfectly rational on all other subjects, is a sparkling writer and a bright, witty conversation aiist. Their Wives Going Into Rnslnesa.

Onmden saloon keepers, whose licenses have been refused by City Council, are getting thoir wives to make application. Three such cases have been referred to City Council on thoir merits by the license committee. Fbilaoelphu. Saturday, June 19, 1884. The weather today is likely to be fat.

We regret to see just now among1 some of the advertising merchants an apparent disposition to mislead you as to what they are actually doing. We do not refer to mere exaggeration. That you expect; and it doesn't often deceive you because you expect it and make allowance for it. Nothing is more natural than to think more highly of one's own property than of another whether it be a horse, a house, a picture, a dress or the contents of a store; and merchants who spend their lives in buying and selling are thoroughly schooled to believe that their particular things are better than those of another merchant. What is true of us all is more than true of those who have lived all their lives in the peculiar atmosphere of buying and selling.

It was wittily said not long ago of a successful exploiter of newfound treasures of ancient art, "it is extremely difficult for a man who has anything to sell to maintain a judicial frame of mind about it." Everybody knows the lact; and prudent people are on their guard against being taken in by ingenious devices that have their innocent origin in this universal partiality to what one owns, especially if he wants to sell it. We do not refer to so com monplace a fact. But, before we point our re marks directly at what we complain of, a word of explanation of how it happens to show itself more clearly than usual just now; which breaking out is our reason for stopping to touch the subject when our hands are as full of work as our heads are of plan nine it. We had spring weather enough AT 1 in Marcn to tempt a sanguine merchant into overdoing the season. Then followed a slow letting 11 go oi winter, rinauy summer itself has come without any spring; ana traae is already almost over.

Merchants are caught in the trap. There are mountains of goods in their hands. The wholesale merchants are out. 1 he loss must fall on retail merchants unless they can pass it on to you. They hope to sell out at a profit yet.

I he result is what you see in the papers, if you see it as we do. They are crying bargains, but holding on to their goods. They are scared enough to spend a little money in advertising not scared enough to put their prices down. And what is advertising as it is commonly understood but making a noise, attracting attention, getting a crowd together no matter whom no matter for what no matter how no matter at what expense of neighborly obligation, to say nothing of truth. So the thing to do is to say in the most emphatic and taking manner that prices are down, and keep them up as long as there's any hope of getting the crowd together.

Unfortunately there are always plenty of people to run to a fire or a dog fight. So there are plenty to rush to a store that makes a feint at reducing prices. This very thing is going on just now in several stores in town. We have the right to be so clear in this statement as to sharpen your caution. We haven't the right to poiat to the particular stores and say what will injure their trade, no matter how true our statement may be, no matter how fairly we make it, no matter how clear our interest or yours.

Now to be specific enough to give the caution point: One of the commonest ways of misleading is to say the price of a stuff is reduced from this to that when it isn't reduced at all, when it isn't worth the price you are asked to take it for.

Philadelphia Letter to roirt Worth Gazette. During the last half dozen years a great change has taken place in the views of the men who eontrol the loading American colleges. It baa been brought about hy the genoral change) in public feeling regarding the comparative values of a purely classical and a partly practical education. We aro rapidly approaching a utilitarian age. Manual training schools are the popular craze In all of the large cities.

In Philadelphia, where a manual traluing school was established a year ago, It Is found that those parents who possess amplo fortunes are those who insist upon their sons being given instruction in soma useful trade by which, if need be, they will beuble to earn an honest living; while those parents of moderate means, and thoso who have all their livos kept their brows wet with sweat, are ambitious to have their sons given a classical education, by which they may. In theory at least, earn a living without the hard work that has kopt their fathers down throughout a long life. But the idea that has all of a sudden taken possession of collego presidents and professors is ilio necessity of affordinit to the youth of the laud instruction in some lino that will bo of Im mediate and monetary advantage to them. Amonu tho most notable thinjrs in whioh it beginning to be said that tho seats of learning should afford practical instruction In, is journalism. The work of making a news paper has at last come to be rocognizod us a profession.

Thousands of young men aro employed upon the press of the country and the demand is rapidly inoreaslng. Yet in not a single institution In the land is any direct instruction of Journalism given. We have schools of medicine, of law, of sclonce, of theology and about every ism and ology one oun think of, but not one where the youug man who wisbos to ontor the honorable and prolltablo realm of journalism can go and get bis money's equivalent In practical knowledge lu the art of making a readable newspaper or magazine. I was talking with some representative Phlla dolphlanson this subject nt a small gathering the other evening, when one of them, a mnu who has the good of the city as well as of the young men and of journalism In its widest and best sense nt heart, remarked I am glad to see this evidence of liberality and progressivoness on tho part of our college presidents, aud, as one who has many times helped young men who showod a disposition to bolp thomsolvos, I am glad that the movement takes tho direction of assisting young men into so honorable and profitable a profession as journalism. I do not know what aro the plans of Its trustees or tho opinion of Its faculty, but for my part, and na a Pliiladelphlan, I would Hko to see tho Unlvorsity of Pennsylvania take tho load in establishing a chair In journalism.

It would be an honor, a lasting honor, to our city, our Stato and to tho university. Tho cost could not bo grout. There Is one man, happily a Phil adelphiun, whom I would like to see idontillod with this movement. He Is a man who Is honored wherever he Is known, and his fame extends to two continents. More than all, he Is a representative American, energetic, intellectual, successful.

Appropriately, ho is himsolf a journalist of the best type this or any othor city or country has ever produced, and I know that I express the wishes of many Philadolphinns and friends of the University of Pennsylvania when I say that nothing oould be more fitting, nothing more creditable to the city, to the university and to tho profession than that a foremost American journalist should imperishably link his name with the first American college ehalr in journalism. Gentlemen, that man is known to you all. I refer to George W. Chllds." All present heartily approved the sentiment and expressed the' hoe that the wish might eventually become a reality. In boston, said one of tho others present, It is a fact that the position of local reporters on allot the newspapers have been for years unavailable to any young man of even moderate journalistic experience, because tho olllces wore Hooded with Harvard graduates who were willing to work, and diii work, and are working to day, all of them who can got an opportunity to do so, for tho magnllloent sura of 8 per week.

The sorry part of It is, too, that as journal ists these Harvard men are not worth more than that sum. As soon as they acquire experience thoy rapidly drift off into good positions in othor cities at good wages. Had Harvard taught them live journalism instead of dead Ureek thoy might have been spared the necessity of starting in life on a salary hardly large enough to satisfy their landlady, lor my part I hope to sou the University of Pennsylvania tuke tho load in this sensible reform, and I would like further to see tho nnmo of Philadelphia's fore most citizen, Mr. Chil.ls, honored for ail time by Doing associated witn it.

NOTED WHITE MEN'S VIEWS Colored Teachers for Colored Educational Institutions Demanded. Many noted men of the colored race have given their Ideas to the publlo on the subject of caste in Universities, a matter that Is attracting attention in educational circles in the city and elsewhere. Judge James Gay Gordon was approached on the subject yesterduy and said: "My father wag an Abolitionist, and my Interost in the colored race dates from the timo of my childhood, when Frederick Douglass and Samuel Ward were received as honored visitors at my father's house. I know the capabilities of the race, as it has been my fortune to be associated with them at various periods of ray life. I have stood beside them aa college mates and know their abilities for receiving knowlodge.

I believe them capable and worthy of filling positions ot honor and trust." "It gives me pleasure," said Hev. J. Whoatoa Smith, the noted Baptist divine, to say that complexion, whether light or dark, is not the test of manhood and should constitute no hindrance to either a pupil or a teacher. In an institution of learning for the education of the oolored race, other things being equal, I should givo tho preferenoe to the darker hue. It Is demanded by a ripening future and a past crowded with unnumbered wrongs." THE QUESTION OP COLOB SHOULD BE BARRED.

Bald Rev. George D. Baker, D. pastor of the First Presbyterian Cburcb, Washington Square: "I am of the decided opinion that the quostion of color should not enter in the least into the oholoe of professors or trustees in educational institutions. If a colored man Is qual ified it is not unlikely that he might be on this account especially useful as an eduoator of his own raoo.

I express this opinion without hav ing had time as yot to give the matter oarerul study, but I would most unhesitatingly add that it would give me great pleasure to see a oolored man of Philadelphia associated in the work of Lincoln University either in tho faculty or ixmru or trustees, or Dotn." Rov. W. P. Brood, D. pastor of the West Hpruoe street rrosoytenan Jhurch.

suld: have never given this matter thought, but I fool that these institutions have been doinct a eood work and aoting according to what seemod to them a wise policy. I hope the colored poople will not Injure themselves by pressing such mat ters prior to a public sentiment in their favor, but for myself, I am dotermlnod that tho oolored man shall have every right to which he is entitled. On general principles the alumni of colored institutions should most undoubtedly be treated precisely as tne alumni of all other Institutions. The colored people aro doinir noblv and they have my earnest wishes for their suc oess and advancement." STRONO VIEWS OP A FRIEND. Tho Institute for Colored Youth, founded forty years ago, has been constantly under the eare of the Society of Friends, by whom It was established and who obtained at the time a perpetual charter to that effect.

The Friends havo been the constant Friends and educators of the colored race. They are a people of known wisdom, caution and forethought. Their policy has been to employ thoir own alumni as rapidly and as early ns possible. Therefore, an opinion ex pressed by a member of this society and a manager of this Institution carries great weight with it. Samuel Allen, a Friend, who o'cupies tlio above named position, said yesterday: Having been connected with the 'Institute for Colored Youth' as a manager of it and somewhat familiar with it for quite a number of yeur9 I am persuaded that the plan pursuod there is un efficient one of employing colored teachers in it who have in almost ovory case proved thorn solves equal to tho requirements.

The instruc tion includes tho higher branches of knowledge of history, of mathematics and of the sciences. nil of which they teach to the entire satisfaction of tho managers and, so fur as I know, to all concerned. I have also been connectod with the management of the Ruspborry street colored schools for many years. Tho school for boys on Raspberry street has colored teachers and their efficiency is scarcely to bo questioned, considering the olass of children to bo managod, mostly rude, restless and turbulent. My opinion is in favor of colored teachers for colored children.

I believe thoy are in every way cupublo and worthy of choice for such schools." WHAT A FniNCETON GRADUATE BATS. Rov. Franois Grimko, a graduate of Princeton Theological Sominary and pastor of the Fifteenth Prosbyteriau Church, says: "I would call your attention to the position of several eminent men of Washington on this subject: Said Senator Hoar, in a lettor commondiug Professor Wiley Lano in connection with tho application for the professorship of Greek in Howard University: 'I think the Interest of the colored raoo will be much promoted as Its members take the places of honor requiring capacity in other pursuits outside of In nothing, perhaps, was the greatness of soul of General O. O. Howard, his wisdom, his profound interest in the welfare of the colored race and his desire to further their interests in evory possible way more strikingly manifested than in this respeot.

Having in view the good of the blaok raco, in the founding of Howard University, among the first things Gonei Howard did was to associate with him in liis work representative colored moo. In the law department John Mercer Langston was placed; In tho theological department Dr. J. B. Reeve, of Philadelphia; in the medical department Dr.

C. B. Purvis, now nt Iho head of the Frcedmen's Hospital, and the skilful surgeon, Dr. Augusta. Such was tho spirit that pervaded it during his administration, but within those later years, when it was my privilege, with Frederick Douglass, Dr.

Cook and Goneral Klrkpatrick, of Lynchburg. to urge tho appointment ot Professor Wiley, the change in affairs was striking. I shall never forgot that an ex Confcdnrato general, an ex slaveholder, a tnomber of the Democratic party, pleudod for tho appointment of a black man us professor of Greek under the very shadow of the nation's eapitol, while old Abolitionists wero diligently seeking to propagate the damnable heresy that It was immodest and presumptuous for black men to aspire to such position and by thoir voice and voto showing thoy wero determined to dis oourage, as far as possible, suoh aspirations.

A stone cntter, whose office adjoined his stone yard, was seoted in his olllco, when a friend called upon htm and they discussed several topics together, among them the question as to what extent lager beer was an Intoxicant. The stono cuiter maintained that beer was not intoxicating, while his friend maintained the opposite. Tho stone cutter eald "Thore Is a man at work In tho yard (pointing to a brawuy cbestod German) who could drink a bucket (three gallons) of beer nt one sitting and feel none the worse for It," The friend doubted and a wager was made and the workman called, who, when asked If he could drink that bucket (pointing to a large water bucket) full of beer at one sitting, replied Veil, I don'd know; I lets you know after a vile." The German weut away, uud, after remaining about tlftoen minutes, returned and said "Yes, I can trink dot peer." The bucket of beer was procured and placod before the Uornian, who very sueu absorbed tho last drop, and aroso from his seat, wiping his momh with bis sleeve, and was walkiug away with a firm step, when his employer recalled him and said to hlin "See here, my friend and I have Borne curiosity to know why you did uot drluk tho beer when you wore first asKed."

THE SITUATION AT MOUNT CARMEL The Supply of Labor Greater Than the Demand. Strikes Not in Favor. 8pocl.il Correspondence of The Tim its. Mt. Carkbij, Jane 18.

The feeling that prevails among the working people of this section ooncoruing the pecuniary results of their labor presents no surface indina tions of dissatisfaction from which difficulty may be apprehended, and there Is no appoaranco of any sorious luok of harmony between tho employers and the employed. But tills is far from being positive evidence of their contentment with the situation as rogards the pay they are receiving for their work. There has not, however, for a Ions? time, been any domonstnition in the way of strikes to Interrupt the industrial operations of the district. More than a doeado has passed since thore was a general strike, and the experience gained at that timo has loft such unpleasant memories of privations and suffering endured by thoso who ongaged In it as have not sinoe then encouraged them to again try that doubtful and hazardous method of bettering their condition. The leeollectlons associated with tho blight which the great strike of 1875 inflicted upon this region are not of a character to inspire the operatives with any reasonable hope of (raining anything by its repetition, ovon if thoy thought they hud sufficient cause to strike.

It was the old story of well meaning but misguided labor, prompted by a desire to secure bettor compensation for its service, essaying to bring capital to terms by golf enforced idleness. The result was what inevitably happens in anygumo in which the winning curds are nil on one side. Tho bitter fruits of that unfortunuto labor movement wore loss of timo, exhaustion of the little means of those who engaged in it, incurrence of debts which for years remained a load upon the shoul ders of many who were the ownors of small properties aud, with a large olass, a condition bordering on destitution before work was again resumed. STRIKES NOT IN FAVOR. When It Is considered that all this loss and suffering was endured for a purpose which failed of accomplishment and that the people, whoso patience and endurance carried them through this hard experience for so long a time, id, in tho end, to succumb and return to work upon tho terms of their adversaries In the struggle, disappointed, Impoverished, If not dis heartened.

It Is not surprising that there has sinoe been no disposition to try the chances of a general strike, whatever may nave been the dissatisfaction with the prevailing rate of onrnlngs. Differences between the men aud their employing companies of local extent or confined to some particular colliery are of occasional occurrence. Such troubles mom to be unavoidable in business like that of coal mining. In late years they have usually boon sporadio, seldom assuming such epidemlo dimensions as to include neighboring operations. As an instance, last year the men of the Pennsylvania Colliery, a very large establishment near Mount Curmel, went out on strike for the reason of some dissatisfaction In the matter of earnings and remained out for about five months.

They did not succeed in gaining their objoot and returned to work at their old rates, strongly Impressed with an nnfuvoruble opinion of the efficacy of strikes for the improvement of the financial condition of those who labor in the bowels of the earth. Thoy had been making at least a living, and with miners that means a good deal, for they are a people who, as a rule, live well when they have tho means and never stint themsnlvaa in the kind of aliment necessary to sustain them in theirvory laborious employment. By the lime the strike or the men of the Pennsylvania Colliery terminated thoy had gained additional experience of the unwisdom of adopting that method of redressing what thoy may oonsider wrong in regard to compensation. NO SCARCITY OP LABOR. But whatover may be the disposition generally affecting tho couduct of mine employes on the labor question in this part of the coal fields whether they are discontented or satis lied with the pay they receive for their work there can be no doubt that the exemption from any gene ral disturbance on that question is, together with another cause previously mentioned, largely due to tho abundance of the lubor supply amounting almost to a plethora, that everywhere exists in these parts.

There is no scarcity of hands, but, in fact, such a supply that vacant places can be llllod at moment's notice. This is not a condition of the labor market In which the minds of the operatives lightly turn to thoughts of strikes. It is rather one in which any idea of being exaotiug in tho demand for more pay meets with discouragoinont. As an illustration of the fact that places of employment In and about the mines aro not in excess of laborers ready to llll them tho case of the Alaska operations is in point. The breaker of this large colliery, located within a few miles of this placo, which, with the mino connected with it, gave employment to many hundreds of bands, was burned down some ten days ago, stopping both tho Inside and outsido work.

It belongs to the Heading Interest and It is natural to supposo that among the numerous collieries In the neighborhood owned and operated by tho Heading Company there would bo no difficulty In finding plaocs for the miners thrown out of employment by the Alaska conflagration. But It is a faot hut the managers met with considerable difficulty and much opposition from the operatives at tho other collierios in providing temporary employment for thoso who had lost thoir job by the lire. It wn8 tho laudable purpose of tho superintendent to get them at work in the othor mines, which ho tried to effect by ejpplying a third man to every breast in which two men wore operating and hy extending tho working timo from ton to twelve hours. This measure was dictated not only by a benevolent care for the welfare of the men who otherwise would have been unemployed for months, but it was also advisable for the reason that such an increuse of force in the minos that were working would, to some extent, help to muko up the doll. dencv in tho output of coal occasioned by tho loss of the Alaska breaker.

THE MINERS PROTEST. But this arrangement had gona on but a few days when a committee of tho Miners' Union, calling upon the superintendent, protested Rrruinst It, as it was contrary to their rules for those men to work In a breast and demanded that the third man, put on temporarily (or tho reason montloned, be discharged, or otherwise the whole force would stop work. It was of no avail that the superintendent represented the case to be an exceptional one of only temporary continuance and that the arrangement had been mado more for tho benefit of follow workmeu who had mot with misrortune than for any other purpose. The committee was unyielding In Its position and the third man hail to go. But this did not frustrate tho good Intentions of tho employers toward thnir unemployed people.

Night shifts were organized, consisting of these men, who are now eugaged in cutting coal to be ready for the breakers in the morning. It bus not yet developed whether the union will object to or approve of this provision. There was really no substantial reason for objecting to the third man urrangemnnt in tho breasts, as it did not nffeot the earnings of any of the parties or diminish tho amount of work for anybody. It was designed to afford relief until tho reconstruction of the burned colliery to men who had been accidentally deprived of the means of living and was recommended by intentions which should havo excited the sympathy of unselfish workmen. This Incidont Is mentioned not for the purpose of showing the illlberality of somo of the rules governing the union, but to illustrate the abundance of tho labor supply In this region, which oould not be more strongly shown than by the ract that, apart from the union's opposition, tho Heading Company had difllculty In placing meu whom it wanted to work iu its mines.

GOVERNED BY THE UNION. With but few exceptions the miners are members of the union and are closely governed by Its rules. Nothing Is done affeeiiug their labor interests In any direction or roguluting thoir movements that is not subordinate to Its authority aud brought within its jurisdiction. It Is nn Instrument of great power, whioh so far, with some exceptional eases, has been wielded in this region to tho advantage or those who belong to the organization and without detriment to the general business Interests of the community. There has boon no occasion for lis assuming a generally aggressive attitude towards the corporations or Individuals managing tho mining enterprises of this region, as there have not as yet been presented any points of difference to warrant bucIi a position on tho part of those who are at tho head of the labor movements.

The present situation is not favorable for extreme measures which might bo adopted under other circumstances. Allusion is here mado especially to this part of tho coal gion, whore prudence has marked tho course nf the working people who have bunded together for tho promotion of what they oonsider their host material Interests, Politics promises to be factor that may have much to do with future movements of labor organizations. It is Been cropping out In remarks made by working mun In this section us well lis eisewhere not the politics of the old parlies, but tho kind that in the opinion of thoso who speak on tho subjoct will make the welfare of I the working people tho first consideration lu I the making of the laws and la tho administration of the government. i. x.
