SEW" YORK, Doc. 3. The VoMtlts
of tho eoinprehoiiMve xtud.v of tho ef
fects of tho Kitropotin war tin busi
ness throughout the I'liilcd States,
gained from tho reports received trom
inorq than GOO eorro!pondents n-
chiding governors, mayors, nffioinls
of Unions, industrial associations,
banks and building associations, will
ho made at tho fifteenth annual meet-
inr of the National Civie federation,
which begins hero tomorrow.
The report says that condition
are improving and predicts that a
further advanee toward prosperity
will ho witnessed during the ne.t few
montli-i. .
The report-was prepared by .Tolin
Hays Hammond, chairman of the
conimittee which handled the invest!
pit ion, and strikes u gloomy note in
speaking of the unemployed. It
statos that the country will he con
fronted this winter "by a situation
which will demand extraordinary
philanthropio effort."
The great savings institutions of
New York City report that bu-iue-s is
now altogether normal, the report
says. "In Philadelphia, and even in
riUMmrg, despite tho severity of the
depression in the iron and steel
trade, the do'io-dti of the largest .sav
ings banks have durin? the hist month
exceeded withdrawals."
Certain lines of trade have been
stimulated because of orders plneed
by foreign nations, but the purchase
of supplies by belligerent nations
"fiulisfies but a Might fraction of the
Amorienn business world,' the report
states.
PAItIS, Dec. 5, 5:20 a. in. Tho
Kclalro nays today that Don Juimo of
nourbon, tho Spanish pretender, ad
dressed an appeal to his partisans
Borne tlmo ago to Ido with France in
tho war. This came to the knowl
edge of tho Austrian authorities, and
as Don Jalmo lives in Austria, ho wus
placed under close arrest in his castle
at KroliBdorf. Tho Immediate excuse
for thin action was tho fact that he
had been a colonel in tho Russian
army.- '
An appeal was made to Emperor
Francis Joseph, but bis majesty said
lie could do nothing in the matter.
Don Jaime persisted In his efforts to
gain freedom and was told finally
that he could either remain a priso
ner In Austria until tliu end of tho
war, or lea vo-tho country. Ho choso

SUPERVISION AS WELL AS ARBITRATION
T11K more tlio Colorado and othtr labor wars arc stud
ied llu- more- (he realization grows Hint there must be
compulsory arbitration of all labor disputes affecting pub
lic welfare.
The attitude of the operators toward their employes is
the same as that shown in all mine labor wais, where the
employers have supplanted the strikers- with illiterate for
eigners imported for the purpose, and-where gunmen are
employed to murder strikers and the state militia used as
a coercive club against employes.
An insight into the Colorado mine conditions is given
in the recent report of Hew Henry A. Atkinson, social
service investigator for the Congregational and other
ennrenes, niiernn mvesngauou 01 im situatien:
im.r't iiilvi tin uiivoii

The strike was again won by brtngliiK In another group of strike
breakers, all foreigners, and viewed as laborers, nn appreciably Inferior
class of mMi. Ten yenrs Inter these men went on strike, and after deporting
their leaders the companies brought in men to take their places; men from
Southern Italy, Greeks. Slavs, Mexicans, Japanese, 2i nationalities in all.
In the counties of Las Animas and Huerfano live only oito-elghteeuth ot
the .population, but those counties have two-thirds of the Illiteracy of the
state. It Is these, men who have found conditions Intolerable aud have
struck.
Conditions must, indeed be intolerable when the im
ported pauper laborers of Europe cannot stand them. An
idea of these conditions is given in the report of the fed
eral bureau of mines, which shows that. :Jti51 men were
killed in mines during lOl.'i and 100,000 injured. The death
rate was 3.-19 for each 1000 employed. Dr. Joseph A.
Holmes, director of the bureau, states that this death and
injured list is excessive; and unnecessary, a discredit to the
industry and the nation. In Europeaninines but one-half
to one-third of the number killed in the United States arc
slain. Dr. Holmes says:
In tho Inst throe years, as far back as the records of the bureau cover
ing certain branches of the Industry go, the mines and ojtarrtcs of the
United States have swallowed up 10,487 human lives and hnvo Incapaci
tated temporarily probably a quarter of a million men. And the saddest
part of it all Is that a groat part of this death roll and a stlir greater part
of tho Injuries aro not necessary. I believe I ant conservative when I wiv
that half of tho afi&l men killed In the year UU:t might have boon saved
and thrce-fourths'of the 100,000 men Injured In tho same vear might hae
escaped Injury had all the various agencies Involved, ih,. operators, the
miners, and tho State and Natlonnl Governments dono their full dim In thn
matter.
rt is evident that not only should there be compnlsorv
arbitration to end labor wars, but also federal supervision
of safety appliances to end wholesale slaughter in the
mines, for the operators have proven that human life is
recklessly risked whenever there is a dollar in dividends to
be made bv it.
INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITIES NEGLECTED
rjrrcECTOtt of the United States Geological Survev
L-' George Otis Smith calls attention to the industrial
opportunities awaiting the nation, asserting that the Kuro
pean war is creating new demands for raw'materials, hith
erto imported, which can be supplied at home.
The tendency, lie asserts, is away from geographical
centralization of industry, rather than towards it. Cheap
power is an essential for manufacturing, and it is also un
evenly distributed. Those regions that, lack coal, have
petroleum, like California, or hydro-electric power like the
northwest. In brief, the distribution of raw material and
of power is the key to industrial opportunities. He asserts:
Four constituents enter Into tho reaction that we term industry Two or
these, brain and brawn, nro organic compounds and two aro perhaps to bo
regarded as inorganic money and jnaterlal. Nono of these components is
wanting hero In the United States and In fact tholr abundance affords the
best reason for an optimistic outlook upon the present Industrial situation.
Of these four constituents, labor and capital and brains aro all more easily
transported generally than the crudo materials upon largo tonnages of which
the Industry must depend.
Probably no region is richer in raw materials or has
cheaper power than southern Oregon and certainly no
region makes less use of them and fails more to grasp op
portunities. With forests full of timber and mountains
full of ores, Ave utilize nothing.
To bring an abiding prosperity we must develop indus
trially as well as agriculturally. Wo must utilize our own
raw materials in our own manufactures to realize our
dest in v.
