The Copper Mine Situation.
I If conditions of labor and living In
tho copper mines of Michigan are a
fractional part as deplorable as rep
resented in tho resolutions acted
upon by tha American Federation of
Labor, congress should loso no .time
in acceding to the request of that
body for a thorough investigation.
According to the reports of tho fed
eration's meeting, this resolution sots
forth that, not only have "tho miners
Ignored tho demands of the men,
spurned their attempts at conciliation
and in many ways treated them with
contempt," but also "havo imported
gunmen, thugs and so-called detec
tives Into the strike zone, and theso
men have deliberately killed strikers
in cold blood, assaulted women and
beaten and terrorized children."
This is but a part of tho charges
preferred, but sufficient on which to
baso a demand for action. If the
charges are false, or even partially
true, tho mlno owners may ba ex
pected to Join in the request for an
exposition of the facts; at least they
owe as much to themselves. It Is al
most inconceivable and wholly repug
nant to tho American senBo of de
concy and Justice that such a reign
of Intolerance and terror could be
maintained In this country. But tho
American Federation of Labor Is an
honorable and rosponslblo body, and
such an arraignment as tho result ot
dollberato action on Its part cannot
reasonably bo passed over. It has
put a gravo proposition up to con
gress. A Playful People.
While we are belaboring ourselves
as a rigidly commorclal and work-a-day
puople, one of Uncle Sam's fer-
tlle-bralncd statisticians comes forth
with tho evidence to show that on wo
work arduously and long, so we play.
At least so It appears from our an
nual outlay for toys, not all of which
by any means aro purely for Juvenile
imusemonU According to tho be
partment of Commerce, nearly
12,000,000,000 worth of toys woro
Imported Into tho United States in
the month of September alono, and
by tho lost, of th curront year the
total valuo of such Importations for
1013 wilt amount to 10,000,000,000.
Our own domestic manufacture of
toys Is placed at 911,000,000,000 for
tho year, bringing tho toy bill up to
tho tidy little total ot $20,000,000,
000. Then we scold ourselves for over
working and not playing enough. Of
courso, Bomoone. doubtloss will wlsn
to know nt once If wo do not export
a largo portion of our ? 11,000,000,
000 worth of homo-mado toys. Wo
do not. Wo oxport, In fact, less than
1,000,000 worth annually, and tho
amount is eaid to be declining In
stead of increasing. No, there are
tho facta and they cannot bo6vaded.
Thoy show us to be a very playful
people. When it Is stated that tho
valuation of the Imports given is not
thsj soiling prlco obtained In thla
country, but tho wholosale figqros of
the forolgn countries of mnnufneturo,
it will bo soen how' very consnrvatlvn

True Charity.
Tho local charities endorsement
committee has recently Issued a pub
Ho statemont cautioning against mis
directed charity. Tho milk In tho
cocoanut Is thlst In every commu
nity tho amount of funds avallablo
for tho support of charitable work 1
limited, and the worthy Institutions
and deserving boneflclarieo are to
that extent deprlvod of whatever as
sistance la dlvortod to Impostors and
undeserving persons. It Is unfortu-
unato, but too true, that charity la
often assumed as a mantle to cover
fraud or pick up easy money. No
one wants to dry up the fountains of
sympathy and fellow-help, but con
servation of the charity fund against
useless dissipation Is an Important
element of truo charity.
Contingent Pee and Public Policy.
And now sonio honorable lawyers
havo set up in open court that con
tingent fee contracts are "against
public policy," particularly when an
attempt Is made to hold the lawyer
to it Tho Bee has been calling at
tention to the, obvious and flagrant
abuse of the contingent foo graft, but
we never went bo far aa to say con
tingent fee services wero against pub
lic policy, and under no conditions
Justifiable. But in a case whero the
litigant la upable to seek Justice in
any other way, we did say that we
could bco no good reason why the In
terest of the lawyer In a third or half
ot whatever prize may ba pulled
down by the verdict should not be of
public record. Nor Is there any good
reason why the terms ot every con
tingent fee agreement should not be
subject 'to approval and revision of
the court, which would also prevent
further litigation later over the di
vision between the lawyers and thttlr
clients.
At that, It finally took a newspaper
man to "get" Tammany. Mr. Hen
nessy, who did the getting, put in
many years as reporter and editor on

Congrrssmsn William 8. Green of Massa

'England caddy.
One afternoon a certain official who
played rather indifferent golf, heard that
his caddy was betting on the game, and
not wishing the youngster to lose money
on his account, he hastened to resssure
him at the first opportunity.
. "Look here, boy." he remarked, "I
understand that you are betting on the
game." '
"Yes, sir," admitted the boy, "but I
didn't put up a whole lot."
"It's all right." smiled the official,
"but I am not In good form today 'and I
will repay you fbr alt your losses."
"Oh. you needn't worry about that
bow," was the frank response of the
caddy. "I'm bettln the other way."

The Srnmen'a Union.
EMEIISON. Neb.. Nov. ll.-To the Kd-J
nor ot ine uee: The great advantages
of a union among seamen are apparent
to every man that hs ever sailed the
ocean, trimmed a ship on the great lakes
or Juggled a cargo of frelaht on a river
tmhnnt 1
Something like ten years ago I shipped
aboard the "Stacker Lee,"' Inendlng to
make the round trip from 8t Louis to
Memphis, which would take six days,
and pay me about JU. I found the work
ing conditions on this boat something
fierce. The steamer, of course, ran day
and night, loaded and unloaded freight
at every port and landing, and carried
but one crew ot deck hands, who did all
the work anI had no hours of sleep or
rest except between landings. The whole
crew were on duty twenty-four hours a
day; sleep two or three hours, then work
like horses another three or four hours,
and keep going at this rate a whole
week.
Tho grub was fairly good, except .the
coffee and butter, which were rotten.
The sailors had no tables to cat from,
and. the cook dealt them rations in big
stew pans, each holding enough for four
or five men. who all ate with spoons
from the same dish, like Indians eating
succotash. There were no beds, bunks
or hammocks for the dccK hands, and
they slept the best they could lying on
the deck or on piles of freight, with their
clothes on ready to Jump when the big
whistle sounded for a landing.
There waa no unton among the men on
the Mississippi at that time, and conse
quently no protection from abuses and
no redress for thoso who suffered the In
sults of that petty tyrant called the first
mate. I deserted this boat at Memphis
and made my way to Detroit. Here I
Joined the Seamen's union, paid my little
fee and received a card that classed me
as an "ordinary seaman." I shipped out
on a vessel that made dally trips between
Detroit and Cleveland, and I say the truth
when I tell you that I never saw work-
ingmen better treated than the sailors
were on this boat. We had a messroom
nnd flunkeys to wait table; we had good
grub and plenty ot It; we had good, clean
beds, mattress, springs, sheets, towels,
etc. We had regular hours of work and
rest, and the forecastle waa so well
lighted and furnished that a sailor could
either play checkers or reed Caesar's
Commentaries either polish his mind or
his brass buttons, as he took the notion.
Where no union exists among seamen
sailors are herded like cattle, driven like
dogs, fed like tramps and if you com
plain too loud the mate will stick a gun
In your ear nnd ask you, "Who's a run

SINBAD THE SA1LOH.
The Church and Why.
OAKLAND, la.. Nov. lS.-To the Editor
of Tlje Bee: There Is a great deal of
agitation In regard to why there Is a de
creaso In attendance at church services
In the present day. So much so that to
some minds It might be an aggravation
as to where to find the aggregation to
make up the congregation. To attempt
to give the real reason would perhaps
be as futile as to expect an Immediate
solution of the Mexican problem.
Letj us pot go runner dsck man to tne
memory of those whose heads are now
whitening with the frosts of many win
ter We who remember tho "old cir
cuit rider" of half a century ago, when
the pioneers came west long before the
Illustrious Horace Greeley thought of
giving advice or the town and county In
western Kansas bore his name. Those
people were looking for a home In the
temporal sense. Perhaps their thoughts,
their prayers and tears wero for tho gen
eration that la now on the "stage" play
ing the great drama. Isolated aa they
Were from each other these meetings
meant a great deal In that day. There
was the plain old-fashioned religious or
ders and ihey spied sin afar off and shied
hnavenlv bricks" that way from cer
tain passages of. scripture (that made
them a 'plain and peculiar people,' and
may we say "zealous ot good works."
Many of these theories have been ex
ploded. In the material world we are
advancing. Our methods of travel alone
show we aro moving forward at a rapid
pace. In the secular and educational
field we are going some; the church must
advance or go backward. Where Is the
minister on life's great highway that
will step forward with an Idea that we
jnay "be of one mind." That we may
learn "In honor to prefer one another
who Is It that can start something In the
nroper meaning of the spirit ot "do ye
unto others" Instead of "doing him first?"
Such thoughts are presented In an humble
opinion of a great question that is ot
vital Import that few of us would like
to live In a community without the
church. TEE JAY AITCH.

OMAHA. Nov. 18,-To the Editor of The

When all our sheep In Wyoming and
