LETTER TO THE CENTRAL FED-
ERATION UNION IS READ ALOUD
| TO THE MEMBERS.
New York. Jan. 3.—At a meeting
today of the Central Federated Union,
there was read a letter from Samuel
(iompers in which he comments for the
I first time on the prison sentence iin-
I |K>sed upon him for contempt ot' court.
Mr. (tampers' letter read, in part as
follows:
"Permit me to thank you for your
message. Many other friends, fellow
workers and sympathizers in all walks
of life also have telegraphed and writ-
ten me, and, from the many communi-
cations of this character which have
been sent to me, I believe I am right
in saying that the great mass of the
libertv-loving American people are with
John Mitchell. Frank Morrison and me
at this crucial time in the effort we
have made and are making to maintain
the principle of justice and right, and
the constitutional guarantee of the
I freedom of speech and of the press.
"Regardless of personal results, we
are confident that the principle for
which we contend—and for which we
| may suffer—will be restored, main-
tained and permanent y guaranteed to
all.
FAIR AND UNFAIR
PLUMBING SHOPS
The following excerpt from an in-
teresting interview given by John Mit-
chell to James it. Morrow is taken
from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"Wherein does the modern leader of
labor differ from the leader of twenty
years ago?"
"Of course," Mr. Mitchell answered,
"the orator has disappeared from the
scene. The labor leader of to-day
must be a competent business man
He has something to sell. The em-
ployer is in the market as a purchaser
When I was president of the miners'
organization 1 made contracts which
meant the bread and butter of 400,-
000 men and their families. So the
leader of labor should know how to
bargain: how to get the highest possi-
ble price. He cannot bargain, how-
ever, unless he is informed about
economic conditions—the cost of pro-
duction to the manufacturer, the price
he receives for his products, the profits
he makes in his business and the state
of the trade in all parts of the coun-
try."

IN A VERITABLE WONDERLAND.
Pike'n Peak the Center of Colorado's
Magnificent Scenery.
Pike's Peak, that historic beacon
summit which guided the early ex-
plorers across the great plains, rears
its snowy crest in lhe midst of ver-
itable wonderland. Here Nature is
seen in her grandest as well as In
some ot her most fantastic moods.
Great mountain peaks are hei*e—mas-
sive. gigantic—lifting themselves Into
the regions of perpetual snow. Here
are a half dozen stupendous canyons,
each miles in length, where the gran-
ite mountains have been cleft asunder
and rock walls rise perpendicularly a
thousand feet. Here medicinal springs
gush forth for healing and refresh-
ment. Here, too. was the play-ground
of Titanic forces whe^the world was
voung—rock forms of every size,
shape and color, rising in airy pin-
nacles like the spires of a Milan, or in
solid shafts against which all the
forces of modern enginery might beat
in vain, or iu lofty spires so slender
that one almost fears to lean his puny
weight anainst them. And here, too,
is the perfection of the Colorado cli-
mate. whose charms and remedial vir-
tues have given to the region a world
wide frame; bringing to thousands the
b!< ssings of restored or returning
health, anil to all who come within its .
influence the delights of u new exist-
ence.

Electricity from the Earth.
Great local differences in the olectri
I fication of the earth are known to ex-
ist, and a German engineer suggests
that with better knowledge if may be
possible to make mining for electricity
I as profitable as digging for coal or
I metals. In experiments in two com
paratively shallow borings, he has ob-
tained weak currents between a small
! rod of brass or iron immersed in the
I water of the pit and a similar rod
buried near the surface. He urges
that contractors, mining companies and
Hthers take up the problem, and per
form such experiments as testing the
current between a 60-foot copper cylin-
der at the bottom of a boring of 30,000
feet or more and a similar cylinder bur-
ied in moist ground at the surface,
also investigating the charges to be
obtained from long iron pipes buried
In the ground. It seems quite pos
sible that means may be found for
charging accumulators from earth cur
rects, thus giving us a new source of
power, light and h al.
