If we im- j bue them with Just and true principles, ( tin- Icm rence of i.iod and the love -»f our i fellow 111 a 11. we crißravß upon something: that will brighten to all eternity." That Is the kind of monument we now have. The high moral standing of the member ship of our Order has no superior in any fraternity.

There Arc Three Interests lo he Con. j sidered in Adjusting Differences President Baer says there is ait "irreconcilable conlliet" between coal miners, coal consumers and coal producers. The miner wishes big wages, the consumer seeks cheap fuel and the producing company : wants dividends. If fuel is too cheap either there will be no dividends or; else low wages, and possibly both. I The miner is not deeply interested lin the welfare of the stockholder,! nor i-. the latter always sympathetic in his views of the miner. The other element which must never lie forgot ten in thi- controversy is the con ! sinner. Ile has rights, but *0 have j the miner and the producer. None, of the three has any more right to j l work to injure the others than a i : highwayman witii pistol in hand; | has a license to n.b a stage coach the con-tuner who strives to get coal j for much less than its present value strike-, at both miner and producer. The railroad company that pays an exorbitant dividend from its coal j mine profits is striking a blow at j miner and consumer. The miner 1 who violently demands extravagant 1 wages is hostile to the other two | j parties to this "irreconcilable con ! jtlict." There must be an equity in | this, as in every other case. There j |is a point where all three can fairly I j meet. Who will designate it? In j j any settlement of the wage question 1 'in the anthracite region the eoimtim- i er, being a party to the case, has ;i-1 much right to be heard as either J miner or producer.

PER YEAP MINERS' CERTIFICATE. A Member ol Examining Board Confessed That They Are Sold. According R> ;i report from Ha/.le ; ton, one of the members of the Min i ers' Fxamining Board has confessed jto the selling to ignora lit foreigners i without any qualifications .bogus ! certificates which enable them togo i into the mines atid work as passed [ miners. The confession, it is said, I implicates all members of the hoard. ! If this report is true it is to he hoped i prompt action will he taken to bring ! these faithless officers to justice, j The presence of unskilled miners in j the workings is one of the prolific j causes of mine disasters and to de j liberately conspire to fill the mines ; with this class of workingmen is lit tie short of conspiring to commit ; wilful murder. One man who does j not understand the use explosives or : the danger of exposing a naked lamp !to a pocket ofmini'gns holds the I lives of hundreds in the hollow of his • hand ail the time he is underground, and the worst feature of this is that j those who are working with him | never realize the danger they are in j until the crash comes. I'uhllc senti j ment in the coal regions of late has I been calling for new mining laws, i This was because of the increasing I number of fatalities. It will r 'v | be proved now, however, that ! not so much new laws that are net 1 ed as the rigid enforcement of tho talreadv 111 existence. frfn.I.SGRGVE. R. A.
