MILITIAMEN CALLED CRUEL
Machine Guns Trained on Camp Occu
pied by Women and Children—Holes
8cooped In Earth For Sh«lt«r^=Four
teen Killed In a Tent.
Two women, Mrs. Pearl Jolly and
Mrs. Mary H. Thomas, representing
the Colorado miners, narrated their ex
periences in the "reign of terror" at
Ludlow before the federal commission
on industrial relations, sitting in New
York.
The two women were introduced by
Miss Melinda Scott, president of the
Women's Trade Union league. As she
asked for permission for them to tell
their story Chairman Walsh and some
of the other commissioners seemed tak
en aback and were not inclined to as
sent. However. Mrs. J. Borden Harri
man asserted her rights.
"As representing the women and
children of the nation on this commis
sion," she said. "I move that the com
mission hear the story of these women.
I may add that this morning i received
a telegram from Miss Jane Addams
requesting that they be heard."
That settled it, and Mrs. Pearl Jolly,
twenty-one years old, wife of a miner,
took the stand to tell how the strike
began on Sept. 24. and it was soon evi
dent to the miners there would be trou
ble with the mine guards.
"We didn't want trouble." Mrs. Jolly
said. "Two shots were tired by the
guard, and we began to dig pits for the
women and children. Then the mili
tia came and we welcomed them. We
got two brass bands for them. We
danced with them, and they had their
meals with us. But soon things began
to change."
Mrs. Jolly described how the mine
colony was searched for arms and how
the bare floors were chopped up In the
search for arms and ammunition. One
Sunday morning, she said, the miners'
families were forbidden with oaths to
go to the postofflce. and in December,
with deep snow on the ground, they
were ordered to leave their tents
When one woman with a sick baby in
slated on going back a revolver was
placed against her head, with the
threat that she would be shot.
Describing the tiring. Mrs. Jolly told
how the members were warned of it
on Easter as they were chaffing some
of the militia at a baseball game.
VSome say we had f00. some say 700,
rifles in the camp," she said. "We had
only forty, if we had had 100 there
would not have beeu so many dead
women and children. On the Monday
morning they came and demanded
Louis Kikas, our leader. They had
then to our knowledge machine guns
trained on the camp, and lvikas, fear
ing they would shoot at the tents, ran
toward them waving a white handker
chief. We wanted the men to go to
the hills to draw away the fire from
the women and children. There were
60 many mothers and women expecting
to become mothers that, my God, gen
tlemen, we couldn't run away."
Mrs. Jolly told how the men crept
away on their stomachs, and as the
shots began to fall among the tents the
women began desperately to scoop out
holes in which to hide their children
Qnly four men were left in the camp,
but that made no difference, and the
women who could not find holes to
crawl into had to lie flat upon the
ground.
"I got desperate," Mrs. Jolly went
on. "I pinned red crosses over my
white dress and walked out. I wanted
to intercede, but all I got was a bullet
through the heel of my shoe and had
to seek cover."
As Mrs. Jolly told of insults offered
to the women after the shooting and
how. after escaping in the dark, she
had returned with a Red Cross party
to find dead in one tent eleven chil
dren, two women and a six-months-old
baby. Commissioner Lennon was in
tears. The testimony of this witness
was concluded with a tribute to the
Greeks.
"Had it not been for them," she said
"we should not have been here now
During all the trouble I never heard a
profane word from one of them."
Mrs. Mary Hannah Thomas, the
Welsh wife of a miner, was called to
the stand. After telling of her stand
ing in her own home she described her
journey from Ludlow to Trinidad.
"When we reached the tent colony,'
she said, "and I saw the militia and
the guards I determined to go on to
Trinidad with tuy three children. As
we got to Trinidad I was arrested, and
when I asked why a gun was pointed
at my head. 1 was scared to death, as
I had never seen a. gun before 1 came
to America."
Mrs. Thomas was locked up for elev
«D days, she said, and when she asked
the reason General Chase ordered her
held as a military prisoner. She talked
to her husband, and the guards told
them they had orders to listen to the
ionversation. "but," Mrs. Thomas add
id, with a ghost of a smile, "we let
||iem hear all. we said, for we talked
4ply in Welsh."
"I want to say that the cruelties and
Insults practiced by the militia were
terrible," the witness added. "They
Have left their odious memory there.

REIGN OF TERROR
WIVES UP MINERS TELL STORY OF COLORADO STRIKE HORRORS.
CHILD LABOR AND HEALTH.
Juvenile Work Responsible For an Un
due Amount of Tuberculosis.
The University of Vienna has estab
lished a chair of social mediciue. A"
industrial hygiene is the most impor
tant branch of this subject. Professor
Teleky. the head of the department,
early became interested in tuberculosis
as an industrial disease, and logically
was led to study the effects of differ
ent occupations on wage earning-.chil
dren with a predisposition to this dis
ease. He found that in Germany as
well as in Austria there is an uuduly
high tuberculosis rate among youth
ful wage earners. Kayserling lias
shown that while in Berlin the tuber
culosis death rate for all the later
years of life has fallen since 1900. no
diminution lias been found in the death
rate for children of wage earning age.
Von Pirquet attributes the rise in the
tuberculosis morbidity rate during the
years between fifteen and twenty to
overstrain and undernutrition in ap
prenticeship life.
Commenting on the results of inves
tigation made in this connection, the
Journal of the American Medical as
sociation says:
"Teleky has shown that sickness in
creases among children who leave
school for work. The Increase during
the first year of work is not great, but
in the second and third years it is pro
nounced, and in the fourth year is
higher than the first.
'Realizing that the choice of occupa
tion should be made during school life
and with the advice of teacher and
doctor, Teleky. with the co-operation
of other physicians, opened a consulta
tlon clinic for school children and their
parents, in which advice was given as
to the occupation for which the child
was fitted.
"He found that disease .in"
working
children not only by improper condi
tions of labor—heat, dust, insufficient
light stagnant air—but also by the
work itself, the physical overstrain
placed on an underdeveloped organism
which'should have its energies con
served for growth. After studying the
problem at first hand and seeing all
efforts to prevent the disastrous effect
of labor on underdeveloped children
fail Teleky finds no remedy save the
raising of the age limit for employ
ment. The age of sixteen, he thinks,
is early enough for children to enter
industrial work, and even at sixteen
the transition from school life to in
dustrlal life should not be too abrupt.
He agrees with Kaup that for the
youth under eighteen the workday
should be limited to ten hours, includ
ing time for three meals, with each
week at least three half holidays for
study and sport, and each year a two
weeks' vacation.
"The importance of such investiga
tions is that child labor, by lowering
resistance in the child, may favor the
development of tuberculosis in chil
dren."
ONLY FOOLS FIGHT.
Arbitration Offers Most Economical
Way to Settle Disputes.
Take the chip off your shoulder.
One of the surest evidences that this
is a time of great progress is that we
are beginning to dig out with great
zest from the trunks in our garrets the
old fashioned, dust covered principles
that used to keep us mighty happy be
fore we began to get prosperous.
The package labeled "Arbitrate." for
instance.
The meanest human being likes to
pride himself on his sense of fairness
It is a fundamental and primitive prin
ciple. It was not until somebody got
unjust and unfair that wars and tight
ers and disagreements started. It has
always been true that those who "talk
ed It over" in the open soon had tilings
settled and all went back to work.
Arbitrate means to weigh and divide
—that is. weigh the dispute and di
vide the blame and then forget the
dispute.
Fools always fight. Wise people al
ways arbitrate. Because to fight is to
waste, and to arbitrate is to save.
Sometimes it is money saved, some
times human beings, but always char
^cter, whether the dispute is between
you or somebody else or between a
dozen nations.
Arbitrate. Always arbitrate. It al
ways pays to arbitrate.
Here's something important. Dis
putes can never be wffhout individual
consent If every person concerned—
If you—refuse to fight, and the other
or others take your "cue." it has to be
—arbitrate. If people would only just
think before they became ready to dis
pute they would not dispute. Try out
this suggestion yourself.
Take the chip off your shoulder.—

WARSHIP BUNTING
It
Takes a Lot of Flags
to
Fit
Out Uncle Sam's Navy.
USE COLORS OF ALL NATIONS.
Eaeh of the Big Vessels Carries About
Five Hundred Ensigns of Various
Kinds and Sizes—Severe Tests to
Which the Material Is Subjected.
Something like $80,000 a year is re
quired to keep Uncle Sam's many naval
yessels properly equipped with flags,
^n addition most every other depart
ment of the government appropriates
various sums for flags for buildings
and ships under its control. In all.
It is safe to say the United States
spends $125,000 a year for flags.
The largest factory belongs to the
navy. In a large room, called the "flag
loft," at Brooklyn navy yard half a
hundred skilled needlewomen and quite
a few men are kept constantly at work.
Officially it is the naval flag making es
ta I is in ent.
Thousands of flags are required to
supply the hundreds of vessels, from
battleships to launches. On entering
the flag loft the visitor's first impres
sion is a blaze of color. Rolls of bright
bunting are heaped everywhere. Long
lines of electrically driven sewing ma
chines, with women operators, are reel
ing off and putting the finishing touches
to American and foreign ensigns of
many different hues and sizes. In addi
tion to our own flag, the navy has to
keep a supply of every other nation in
the world which has a coast line.
Each battleship, cruiser, gunboat or
scout in the navy requires about 500
flags to outfit its flag locker properly.
Heaped up. they make a pile shoulder
high and twenty or twenty-five feet
long. The foreign flags, incased in can
vas bags, bear the name of the coun
try stenciled on the end. The remain
der, including flags for ordinary use
signaling, etc., are wrapped without
bags and numbered at the end. Each
flag has its separate place in the flag
locker. A quartermaster would be re
buked severely if one became mis
placed. Each ship follows the same or
der in this, so that any one familiar
with the flag locker on one ship knows
the location of every flag on any ship.
Uncle Sam pays about $3,500 to outfit
each ship in the service. This multi
plied by the number of ships will show
that flags are not an inconsequential
item of naval expense. 1*he foreign
ensigns are all made twenty-five feet
long and thirteen feet wide. They are
used whenever an American warship
enters a port of another nation. The
flag of the visited nation is hoisted at
the top of the foremast while the
American ship salutes. It is also hoist
ed when returning salutes of foreign
vessels in American ports.
The most showy and expensive flags
in the lot are those of foreign nations
although the United States has two
flags that are close rivals, the flagR of
the president and vice president. They
require the longest time to make of
any flags. It takes one woman a month
to finish each one. The president's
flag is a blue ground with the coat of
arms of the United States in the cen
ter. The life sized eagle with out
stretched wings and other emblems are
all hand embroidered in silk. The silk
used costs $9 a pound. The vice presi
dent's flag is the coat of arms on a
field of white. Both flags are made in
two sizes, 10 by 14 feet and 3 by 5 feet.
The larger is used on ships and the
smaller on launches and similar craft
The largest flag made Is the United
States ensign No. 1, which is 36 by 19
feet. It costs $40.
The bunting used in flag making is
put to severe tests before the flag mak
ers use it. One day a sample bundle is
washed in soap and water. The next
day the same process is followed with
salt water. It is then exposed to the
weather for ten days, thirty hours of
which must be in the bright sun. If it
doesn't fade in that test the govern
ment experts pass it. Then two Inches
wide of the warp is subject to a pull
ing strain of sixty-five pounds. Even
with all those precautions a ship is al
lowed a new set of flags every three
years, while the signal flags and ship
and boat ensigns in frequent use must
be replaced every few weeks.
One flag or pennant, rather, most
used by the navy and least known to
the public is the commission pennant
It is hoisted to the masthead of every
naval vessel when It goes into commis
sion and Is never removed. It is
long, narrow streamer, blue at the
Btaff, with thirteen stars in the field
arranged in one line, and the flag di
vlded into two stripes, red and white
jlhe red at the top. \yhen ships 'ong
pn foreign stations leave for home a
new commission pennant is always
hoisted. Usually It is one made and
paid for by the crew. In some cases
those "homeward bounders" stretch
out 300 feet and. made of silk/ cost a
pretty penny.
The thousands of white stars used in
our own and many other ensigns are
made by an electrically driven ma
chine which cuts them in fifty or a
hundred lots. Eight different sizes of
•tars are used.—Kansas City Star.

A PEEP ATMEXiCO
The Country's Area Now and
What
it
Was Originally.
HAS LOST A VAST TERRITORY.
Nearly a Million 8quar« Miles of its
Land Have Been Added to the United
8tates—Still a Big Country, Though,
and Has an Enormous Coast Line.
It is interesting to note that the area
of Mexico is practically as great as that
of the United States between the Mis
sissippi river and the Atlantic coast,
the great lakes and the gulf of Mexico,
varying in altitude from sea level to
18,000 feet. Its climate is affected by
these elevations und by a range of
eighteen degrees of latitude. Twelve
hundred miles is the distance traversed
in passing south from Juarez, on the
northern boundary, to the capital, and
900 miles more to the southeastern
boundary. The gulf of Mexico and
Caribbean sea coast line extends for
1,700 miles, while the Pacific ocean and
gulf of California-touch 4,000 miles of
Mexican coast.
Prior to 1830 Mexico, as a Spanish
colony, and the United States covered
approximately equal areas, but the
Texas secession and the result of the
Mexican war added nearly a million
square miles to our territory, and the
extent of Mexico now is less than one
fourth that of continental United
States. Mexico has still territorial ex
panse equal to the aggregate of Aus
tria-Hungary, Germany. France, Great
Britain and Ireland. The total area of
the republic, 707.000 square miles, Is
less than that of Texas, California,
Montana, New Mexico and Arizona
combined.
The average density of population
of Mexico approximates twenty per
square mile, the most thickly populated
parts, outside of the federal district,
being the stites of Tiaxcala and Mex
ico, the former being less than Dela
ware in size and of about the same
density of population and the latter be
ing nearly as large as New Hampshire,
but with more than twice the number
of inhabitants. The federal district,
molded after the District of Columbia
but of eight times greater «irea. is sur
rounded by the state of Mexico, the
large population of the capital, 470,000.
materially aiding in bringing the aver
age to more than 1,200 per square mile.
During nearly 300 years subsequent
to the conquest by Cortes, Spain domi
nated Mexico. A century ago a bold
effort for freedom was started, which
eventually resulted in the republic of
Mexico of today. More than half of
the first century of Mexican independ
ence was abortive, one coterie after
another coming into temporary power
and a number of those acclaimed rul
ers after brief regimes meeting igno
minious death at the hands of the peo
pie they sought to govern.
The form of government adopted by
Mexico follows in general that of the
United States, having executive, judi
cial and legislative divisions. Each of
the twenty-seven states is represented
in two houses of congress, composed of
senators and deputies. Congress holds
two sessions each year for limited pe
riods. Each state has its governor and
legislature and is subdivided into dis
tricts or counties, over each of which a
jefe politico is placed, the districts
having subsidiary municipalities with
magistrates, presiding officials and
councils. The so called autocratic fea
ture of the government may be largely
due to the fact that governors hold of
fice with approval of the president,
that jefe politicos have similar rela
tions with the governors and that the
officers of the municipalities are gener
ally controlled by the jefe politleos.
The church and state are independ
ent, and congress cannot pass laws
prohibiting or establishing any reli
gion. Of the 10.1100,000 inhabitants
two-fifths claim direct descent from
ancient tribes or families which are
accepted as the basis of Mexican his
tory, two-fifths are of mixed native
and foreign blood, the remainder being
classed under the common appellation
of "foreign."
The City of Mexico, 204 miles by rail
west of Vera Cruz and 7,400 feet alti
tude, is reached by two rail routes
climbing from the hot lands through
difficult mountain passes, one of which
closely follows the trail taken by Cor
tes in 1519, by General Winfield Scott
with American troops in 18-17 and over
which fifteen years later the invading
French troops passed. It is the most
populous city. One-half of the railroad
mileage of the country is between sea
level and 5,000,feet and about an equal
amount between 5,000 and 10,000 feet

Ancient Gold.
In olden times gold was obtained
Abundantly from the rivers of Asia.
The sands of Pactolus, the golden
fleece secured by the argonauts, the
yellow metal of Ophir, the fable of
King Midas, all illustrate the eastern
origin of gold. Alexander the Great
brought nearly $50^ 000,000 of gold
from Persia. Gold also came from
Arabia and from the middle of Africa
by way of the Nile.

DUTY OF UNION MEN.
One of the worst features of
indifference of union men to
their duty to patronize the prod
uct of union labor when spend
ing their own wages is the ex
ample and proof it affords to the
merchant of the insincerity of
the labor man. Why should any
merchant carry union made
goods if he knows that 75 per
cent of the union members pay
no attention to the union label?
We mention this percentage by
way of Illustration, not meaning
to say that there are so few as
twenty-five union men in a hun
dred that buy union made goods.
Tf the figures were reversed,
however, and the merchant
should realize that he must have
union made goods or lose sales
to seventy-five in a hundred
members of organized labor he
would respect that movement
and carry more union made
goods because of that respect

DISASTER RELIEF.
Case That Proves Economic Value of
Workmen's Compensation.
That adequate compensation for in
dustrial accidents, when they come sin
gly. is justly chargeable to the oper
ating cost of an industry has been ac
cepted by many business men. but a
holocaust is usually regarded as call
ing for community charity, for "disas
ter relief." Not always, however.
On April 23, 1013, an explosion in the
Cincinnati mine, located in Washing
ton county, Pa., about forty miles
south of Pittsburgh, killed ninety-six
employees. This mine is operated by
the Monongahela Itiver Consolidated
Coal and Coke company, a subsidiary
of the Pittsburgh Coal company.
Within six weeks after the explosion
the Pittsburgh Coal company proceed
ed to take releases and to settle with
the victims' relatives. The basis of
settlement was substantially as pro
vided in the workmen's compensation
bill then pending in the Pennsylvania
legislature, but which subsequently
failed of passage.
Those eligible for compensation were
widows and children or, in the ab
sence of both of these, fathers and
mothers, or, in their absence, brothers
and sisters. The compensation was
to continue for 300 weeks or in the
case of full orphans or abandoned chil
dren until such children reached the
age of sixteen years. It was to be
computed on the basis of the dece
dent's average weekly earnings, exclu
sive of overtime, and paid periodically
as wages were paid. In the event of
the remarriage of a widow payments
ceased. Lump sum settlements were
to be made on the basis of the com
pensation discounted one-third.
The settlements made under these
general provisions have involved ap
propriations from $050 to $3,000 per
family on the pension plan of payment
and from $350 to $1,050 on the lump
sum basis. A recent canvass of the
families indicates in virtually every in
stance a present economic status as
favorable as that existing immediately
before the explosion.—J. Byron Dea
con In Survey.
Samuel to the Fore.
Do those who attack Samuel Gom
pers and others in the labor move
ment really think that they are lift
ing any burdens from the oppressed
or adding one ray of sunshine to any
life? When it comes to a scrap the

Another Labor Temple.
The Labor temple in Bellingham,
Wash., is about ready for dedication.
The building will represent an invest
ment of about $10,000 and will be open
ed with only $2,000 of indebtedness.
The remarkable feature of the under
taking is that on July 1 last year the
proposition of building a labor temple
was broached without a cent on hand,
and the success of the workers in this
instance Is inspiring them to greater
effort.
Labor Unions Growing.
Reports showing a gain of 69,756
members of affiliated unions for April,
iai4, over April, 1013, have been made
public by Secretary Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor. The
total paid up membership for 1914 was
2.069,157 that of April, 1913, was
1,999,401.

FATHER STUMPED THEM.
Test In Mental Arithmetic That
Worried the Students.
They had a schoolboy and schoolgirl
party at a Brooklyn man's house the
other night. Father and mother were
permitted to mingle with the young
folks for awhile after the edge of the
first fun had worn off. There were
games that the elder folks knew noth
ing about, and they sat like wallflow
ers.
Finally a game of arithmetic was
started by a boy who is considered the
best cipherer of his class in the high
school. After several problems had
been given of an odd nature, over
which there were much laughing and
puzzling, father dared to speak up.
Said he:
Boys and girls, they used to give us
this example in mental arithmetic
when 1 went to school. I suppose it
will be easy for you, but it's the best I
can suggest to tike part in the game."
And he recited this couplet:
If a third of six were three
What would a fourth of twenty be?
The score of boys and girls present
went at it. They wrinkled their brows,
and they pursed their lips. The use of
pencil and paper was not permitted.
The mathematician bad not been
among the first to try an answer. He
was plainly a little perplexed He
asked to have the problem repeated
and wanted father to reassure him
