A "special survey of 250 of the largest
mining companies, which have been

war. showed 350 men out of every]

major, during (he war.
Todays session included talks on
and discussion of accidents and/their
prevention In underground mines,
ojjen pits and in stopes.
The final perfection of a perma

up late today, and if an organization
is.^formed officers will be elected.
!F. E. Morris, chief secretary Na
tional Safety council. Chicago, said
that, during the 19 months the United
States was in the war 56,000 Ameri
can soldiers were killed In Kurope
during the same period 226.000 men,
women and children accidentally
were killed in the United States. Six
teen out of every 100 children under
10 years were killed annually from
accidents in the United States.
His investigations as to why
women got off street cars backward
and suffer accidents, led t.o the dis
coyery thai, out of 17 women 12
alight facing the rear. "The reason,"
he' said, "is that woman's right arm
usually is the stronger and she uses'
It in alighting. With a man, both
arms are developed."
Mine fatalities and accidents have
decreased in the United States in
recent years, he said. In America,
one miner is killed for every 599.000
tons of ore mined: in Great Britain
one in every 593.000 tons mined. I
BOOSTED THE PRICE.
Brest. May 14.— (By Mail)—a]
doughboy stepped into a Brest store
la^t night and asked to see some har
monicas. As the soldier picked up one,
inspected it minutely, wiping the edge
of it with his sleeve before- putting
it to his mouth, there, staring at. him,
as^if in letters of fire were the print
ed' words: "Made in Germany."
"I thought 'Made in Germany' was
'pas bon' in France, "he said to the
storekeeper.
"Zat is so," interrupted the French
men suavely, "but we buy zem before
re war."
The doughboy threw the harmonica
on the counter and sauntered out.
"That is the right spirit," said the
correspondent, "one should not trade
with the enemy before peace is sign
ed."
"Right spirit, nothing." replied the
doughboy, "this bird wanted four dol
lars for this harmonica which he ad
mits he bought before the war. They
were worth fifty cents then."
A professor of Johns Hopkins uni
versity recently told the Internationa]
Kindergarten union that "the mother
who coddles and kisses her child when
He cries should be nunishable by law."

RATES CAN GO
INTO EFFECT,
SAYS COURT
St.. Paul. Minn.. June 20.—The state
supreme court todav held that the
Northwestern and Tri-State Tele
phone companies in Minnesota may
immediately put their increased rate
schedules into effect. The increases
were authorized by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson and the court ruled
that the federal government had au
thority to order an increase.
The supreme court held the deci
sion -of the United States supreme
court in the South Dakota telephone
rate case recently, that the question
was a federal one. left no question
of law for discussion in the Minne
sota controversy.
Last Tuesday, the supreme court
reversed an order of the Ramsey
county district court in St. Paul which
had restrained the Northwestern and
Tri-State telephone companies from
putting the increased schedule into
effect. Immediately after the supreme
court order, the company announced
that the higher rates would be eftec
tice .Tune 20 (today).
The state railroad and warehouse
commission also had questioned the
authority of the federal director to
fix telephone rates and installation
charges.

Cook, age 12. was drowned while bath

usual sport, when Lester stepped into
a deep hole and did not come up
again. The boys ran for help, but
when help was found the boy was al
ready dead. The coroner did not
think an inquest necessary, as it was
so clearly a case of accidental death.

BIG STORE CHANGES
HANDS AT BEM1DJ1
Bemidji, Minn.. June 19.—In a
business transaction this week the big
stock of the Morris Kaplan store at
Second street and Minnesota avenue,
was sold to Clifford & Company of
Kelliher, the consideration being
$40,000. The new company has leas
ed the ground floor and basement of
the building which belongs to Mr.
Kaplan and will take possession of
the store some time in July. They
will deal in groceries, meats and
hardware.
Mr. Kaplan has disposed of his
store in order to devote his time to
other business interests! Just at
present he is overseeing the erection
of a fine business block at the cor
ner of Second street and Minnesota
avenue,—the second block that he has
erected since coming to this city live
years ago.
JUST A BITE FOR, AMERICANS.
"We shall make a special feature
of the export business as well as
caterlrtg to the domestic trade," says
the prospectus of a big new com
bination of packers. Domestic con
sumers' should be much cheered by
this concession to their needs, for it
must be clear to the hungriest that
even this incidental catering will cut
to some extent into the special fea
ture of the export business.—New

PRISONERS
NOT ASKED
Labor Convention Will Ask
.That Espi6nage Acts be
Recihded.
Atlantic City," N. J., June 20.—The
American Federation of Labor, in
convention here, refused today to ask
for the release of so-called political
and industrial prisoners convicted un
der the espionage and other war time'
acts. Instead,- the federation adopt
ed a modified resolution requestingi
that these acts- be ..rescinded with the
formal coming of peace.
Originally, three resolutions had
Men prepared demanding freedom
for political and industrial prisoners,
but the resolutions committee, on ad
vice* of members who believed that
many of these prisoners weire deserv
edly convicted and. sentenced: decid
ed, to'.present as ub-memorial. iThis,
adopted by an overwhelming vote,
besides asking for repeal of legisla
tion, insisted upon "resoration" of the
rights, of free speech, free press aiid
free assembly.
The auction of the convention was
taken after a two-hour debate in
which some of the delegates urged
adoption of the original resolutions!
John P. Frey, chairman of the reso
lutions committee, in explaining why
the sub-memorial had been decided
upon, declared that if the crimes for
which many of the,' political and in
dustrial prisoners were convicted in
this country had been committed in
any other country the guilty men
would have faced firing squads instead
of courts and juries.
Delegate Slestnger of the garment
workers pleaded to the convention to
demand general amnesty for political
prisoners. William* Schoenburg of
Chicago, representing the machinists,
declared in support of Slesipger that
there was. "greater despotism" in the
United States than anywhere else in
the world, and attacked recent court
injunctions in Chicago which he said
"tyrannically" prohibited'* peaceful
picketing.
"During the war," Schoenburg add
ed,, "the German government did not
dare, arrest men so indiscriminately
as we did in the United States. Look
at Debs! He was sentenced to many
more years than Liebknecht was by
Germany for a far more serious of
fense."
Replying, Mr. Frey said:
"We have heard boasts about the
liberality of the German government
as compared with the' American gov
ernment. The trade union movement
in Germany has been able to func
tion only under police supervision.
We do not want that kind of liberty
in the United States."

ALLOWED COMPENSATION.
St Paul. Minn., June 20.—The Min
nesota supreme court today in sepa
rate decisions on the workmen's com
pensation law, held that children less
than 16 years of age, are presumed
dependents and outlined a distinction
between "damages" and "compensa
tion," within the meaning of the
compensation act.
Mrs. Vera Meakins, an elevator
starter, was killed in an accident in
a Minneapolis hotel last November.
An award of compensation of $11 a
week for 300 weeks was granted for
the support of Mrs. Meakins' three
young children.
THE AKTERMATH OF WAR.
The other night, in the union sta

from the east had drawn in, the gate
opened and 'a one-iejgfced. soldier on
crutches swung through. Behind him

other, each on crutches, till, fifteen 1n

The noisy waiting room grew still
—painfully still. Htirrying, luggage
laden travelers paused.. Then, an of

are three carloads of'em out there—
all with a leg. missing. And ten cars
more of wounded."
The next moment a .woman, weep

They had been rather jaunty. with
their .cigarettes.. .The ocean voyage
had wiped the pallor of convalescence
from their faces. Regrets and heart
burnings had been left-' behind in
France with their amputated legs.
But when they grasped the fact
that .it tout. them, that the woman was
weeping a strange efnbairaasment
overtook them. They, shifted rest
lessly on their erutctfec and then, by
common impulse, without a word,
formed a pit(ful tine' again two
