When the Spokane Builders’ and Contractors’ Exchange, headed
by F. II. Knight, form ally endorsed the action of the building trades
and allied industries in declaring for the operation o f their businesses
upon the “ open shop” basis, there was a walk-out at some o f the
concerns, and now it is announced by William J. Coates, president of
the Central Labor Council, that a large committee, representative of
the various unions, w ill he appointed to take charge o f the situation.
The employers do not look for a general strike, while on the other
hand it is given out that the unions are ready, if forced to fight.
The plan is to hoyi of merchants or other business men who employ
“ open shop” contractors. Earl G. Constantine, secretary of the
builders’ exchange, reports that all the members o f that organization
will abide by the decision to continue on the “ open shop” basis.

I T is indeed a sad condition o f industrial affairs that San Diego.
*
California, is now facing the threatened cutting off o f the water
supply by blowing up the main sources of water supply and then the
burning of the town by an organized hand o f anarchists arid presum­
ably I. W. W. members, for one name almost invariably calls for the
other.
It would seem from thet present condition of affairs that stricter
legislation directed against the agitators of this murderous hand of
marauders is absolutely necessary. The whole condition of affairs
is due to the efforts o f a few anarchistically-inclined leaders. When­
ever one o f these leaders is discovered lie should he immediately ar­
rested and sentenced to serve a term in the penitentiary. The idea
that a few days on the local roekpile w ill change the views o f one
o f these burly aspirants to the distinction o f having wantonly de­
stroyed the lives id' scores of innocent human beings is fallacious.
They should he given their just dues.

The lifeboat supply was insufficient
to take off half of those on board.
One by one the lights began to go out
as the water crept higher into the
vessel. The crew, lacking in discip­
line, cut away boat after boat, leav­
ing many of the seats unoccupied.
The women In the boats saw the
great Titanic break In twain. A t the
same time there came a roar and a
series of explosions. The afterpart
seemed to right itself and bobbed up
and down. Its top was black with
men und women who could not be
taken off because there were not suf­
ficient lifeboats and rafts. Another
explosion came and then the great
mass of steel sank down Into the
wuters, raised again and then plunged
forward to disappear forever.
Through all the harrowing scene
eight heroic bandsmen had played con­
stantly to allay a panic. When the
Tltnnic finally plunged under the sur­
face, these brave musicians were send­
ing out the Btrains of "Nearer, My God
to Thee,” playing their own funeral
dirge as they stood knee deep In wa­
ter with their eyes fixed on the giant
Iceberg which towered above them
like a great white monument.
Thirteen Boat-Loads Picked up
Thirteen boat loads of passengers
and crew were picked up by the Car-
pathia after a thrilling journey
through the icy sea. Four hundred
and ninety-five passengers and 210
of the crew were landed at New York
The number of deud probably never
will be exactly determined, Inasmuch
ns the complete passenger list went
down with the vessel. The number
of survivors is fixed at 705, by the
report of Captain Rostron, of the Car­
pathia. The White Star line officials
believe the death list totaled approxi
mutely 1635. John Jacob Astor. Ma­

OUR WORLD AS A MOON.
But to our own moon w e appear In
the best light as a moon. A full earth
as seen from the moon, according to
Todd and other astronomers, is a very
inspiring sight.
It can at once be
seen why this is necessarily true. The
earth is several times larger than the
moon and would appear in the heav­
ens as a disk about fourteen times the
size o f the moon. It would probably
shine with a variable light, due to the
shifting clouds o f the earth, though
the light is. o f course, reflected from
the sun. and the reflection Is due in
part to the upper surfaces o f the
clouds.
The outlines o f the continents o f the
earth api>ear very clearly to the moon

atively large size could be made oat
