The miners themselves perhaps have discovered for the first time how they have been duped. The combination of speculative capitalists and traitorous labor leaders has cheated the miner out of wages and labor, and the public out of coal and fair prices.

Announcement DRAB FACT AT THE KINGS TOMB Doubtless more than one newspaper reader has had it flash across his mind, when reading of the excavation of Egyptian tombs, that the whole matter was being carried on with more of the accompaniments of a modern circus than of a scientific investigation.

Lord Carnarvon married a daughter of the Rothschilds, hired an explorer named Carter, and started out where the digging seems to be Arthur Weigall, formerly connected with the antiquities department of the Egyptian government, has given us an illuminating picture of the crass materialism that surrounds the work to date . He says that the delay was occasioned by the determination of the government that Carnarvon should not be permitted to open Tutankhamens inner tomb in secret.
