Wordne BRR After a year's trial, a co-operative conl mining industry, at Saginaw, Mich., has been declared a success. I'his mine is owned by the workmen who operate it. They establish prices, make contracts, and go down under- ground to dig out the product. There are no labor troubles, or strikes, for every mmn is personally in- terested in the welfare of the com- pany. It-wae on September 1st, 1905. that coal was first sold from the new mine of the Caledonia company. There has been no idleness, since, and the work- men-owners are preparing to put on double shifts to keep pace with their orders. When it was orgmnized, the plan was to have the company consist of 100 men, and the capital stock was placed at $560,000. After a year of success, it has been decided to increase the capi- tal to $250,000 and the company to 500 men. » Sa well, in fact, has this purely co- operative mine done that two other organimntions have been formed in Michigan along similay lines. One of these new companies/ like the Cale- donia, is formed entitely of practical handlers of the pick and shovel. The men forming the Caledonia se lected their executive officers from among themselves. Business of the company. is looked after by a ~eneral superintendent, who is responsible to a board of managers. At all times the acts of the board are subject to review by a general as sembly of the miners, "who keep as closely in touch with the affinirs of the concern as they do with the vein of coal from which they make their livine. When it came to an allotment of the stock few of the men were able to take more than a small holding. They. were not capitalists. Some, in fact, had little or no money and arranged to pay their part in labor. Last spring the Caladonia workers fixed upon the 1903 scale of wares as that to be paid in the r mine. This is 5.55 per cent. higher than the scale of the succeeding season, 1904-5. The average pay of the Caledonia miner is now $2.75 a day. So far the workmen-owners have re- frained from declaring a dividend Starting with a small capital, the have considered it wiser to turn back into the mine, for the development of the property, all profits above opera- Hug Sipaise, , too, the original mine had only forty acres of coal land, and as there has been a steady demand for the output it was necessary to. look to the future. Recently the company has purchased an additional 500 acres adjoinin~ its. mine and is sinking a shaft on that property. It was by mo0d fortune and an exer- cise of shrewdneks that the Caledonia people secured their original forty acres, In the midet of land controlled by a combination of existing companies was this Kittle tract, on which the combination was paying royalties. Thinking that it would be well 'to save this amdunt, and that there would be no difficulty in securing con- trol at any time, the holders permit- ted the lease to lapse. ;. Waiting for just such an oopprtun: ity, the Caledonia promoters vuiatly and quickly secured a lease upop it. themgel nes. o So tly wore all the prelimin- aries i on that it was onlv when the work of sinking a shaft was be- gun that the actual existence of =the new workingmen's company became generally known. Y 4 & however, was not attained without. opposition on the part of the other. companies. The Caledonia min- ers, for instance, wished a spur run to their property from a nearby wail- road. They offered to grade the track and furnish the ties. About one thousand feet of rail was necessary to make the spur, and for this, it.is stated, the railroad com- pany demanded $3,000. The mine-own- ers are still pegging along without their spur. += : The first brash over prices igpgan al- most as soon as Caledonia coal. was placed on the market. Other opera. People Eat Too Much. in front of tors had advanced to the regular win- ier combination price of 34.50 a ton; the Caledonia began. selling at® $4.25. _ Aiter storming their expostulations in vain, the, gther operators undertook to smoke out the workmen owners by lowering the prices, which dropped in the city to $1 and then to $3.50, where the Caledonia figures have re mained. For a time opposition coal was sold the Caledonia mine for A ton, but this measure was tog to be kept up,, especially as aledonia people made no attempt to meet: the cut, but sold all the coal they could mine at their own price. This. opposition, however, con- tinued t0 sell at $3 a tom, which wa fifty cepts under "the Caledonia price. The Caledonia peovle went serenely along their: way, selling all the coal they: could mine at the price they had fixed, and constantly adding to their contratts. Many of the largest con- sumers of the city are' now using the Caledonia 'product. 4 Having | their reputation to make. ithe -minérs "Fee to it that their out: put" will stand the test of quality. Then, too, the officials have made a speciality of giving the retail trade prefiwence over everything eles, and this policy has brought them a large number of regular customers, When it seemed, early last spring, that operators and miners would he unable to get together upon a satis: factory basis of agreement, there was a'general accumulation of coal. Of the many heavy orders given, the Cale donia workers cot their share. More than this however, they an- announced that the result of the pend- ing differences, Seven of a prolonged strike, would not affect them, They owned the mine they worked they fixed their own wages, and had no quarrel with themselves. } Consejuently, they were able to an- nounce, they would go richt along digging and selling coal, even if. a strike settled over a greater part of the country, This brought them a great deal of additional business. Consumers hast- ened to make contracts with a concern that had no fear of a strike and was never crippled by labor troubles. So this experiment of a co-operative mine, owned as well as worked by the miners, has hroved successful. The men say that ghey have enioved their freedom and' ihdependence, and in a financial way have fared much bFotter than their fellow-workmen, em- loved hv operators in the surround ing territory under the old conditions, THE EMPIRE IS ONE. And Hence Can Have Colonial Trade. Coastal London, Oct. 19.<The Imnerialist Morning Post, speaking of the Aus tralian ' preference offer, says that most of the commercial treaties to which the board of trade yeferred, contain a clause. exempting from their operation coast trade. "'"We have only to get in accordance with our fre- quent protestations that the emmire is one, to secure a preference for British vessels in every British port throuch- out the world. No other power whizh reserves its coasted trade could take offence. We should run no risk if we logislatid against those countries, which 'exclude British shins from their own coastal colonial trade." The Morning Post editorially backs the "bold idea," but hopes obnoxious treaties will be dénounced at the earliest" opportunity. A Versatile Genius. London Daily Mail. : Capt.

What the result of the fight would have been cannot be said, but the sacristan went to the belivy and rang the alarm bell. The unwont ed cling had the effect . anticipated.
