The Big Timber Pioneer Thursday. August 6, 1914 EQUAL SUFFRAGE DEPARTMENT (By Mary E . O 'N eill) Suffrage Headquarters, Butte.—The National American Woman Suffrage association is giving splendid aid to Montana suffragists. Dr. Anna Shaw as president is a live wire and keeps the whole association on the jump de vising new ways to help the state. The very latest is the raising of a campaign fund throughout the whole nation, a part of it for each campaign state now fighting for the vote this fall. Mrs. Medill McCormick, of* Chi cago, is chairman of the fund commit tee and she has also organized a Speak ers Bureau to co-operate with each of these states in the choice of speakers. Miss Jeannette Rankin hopes in this way to secure some of the greatest women in America as speakers in Mon tana. Dr Anna Shaw and Miss Jane Addams are two of those sure to come in September. Mrs. Medill McCormick is another, and perhaps Miss Margaret Folev. of Boston, who is represented to be one of the best speakers among the trades union women. Miss Katherine .Blake is still in Montana and organiz ing a club in every town where one does not already exist. Eleven virile organization in as many days and twen ty-two speeches, two a day shows ef fective work. Miss Margaret flinchey has not been equalled as a street speak er, she is forceful, direct and convinc ing. In Butte. Missoula. Anaconda, Great Falls and Helena, Miss Hinchey has appeared to the union men and found ready response. Roundup is yet to be covered by her. Miss Jeannette Rankin is just returned from a trip to Fergus county where new clubs are the result of her’s and Mrs. Bertha Rosenberg’s work. Mrs. Ralph W. Reynolds, one of the most prominent club and society women of Lewistown, is the president of the suffrage associa tion Miss Rankin also visited the Judah picnic and spoke before the great picnic crowd—about 8,500 people. The State Press association meeting oc curred at the same time. This, too, was a big social success—Editors and their wives came from all parts of the state They are a fine grade of people and Montana is to be congratulated on h«*r editors. sey, Pennsylvania, totaling 126 elector» al votes.

Coal Minos That Aro Doomed to Burn Themselves Out. Human ingenuity has been bn tiled for thirty years by fires in the great- coal mines in Perry county. O. Jn 1SS4 when the veins began to bunt all vents were closed in an effort to smother the fire, but without avail. The nearness to the surface of coal deposits, topped by a rocky cap. permitted air to filter in and feed the dull blaze. It is esti mated that millions of tons of fine coal have been destroyed, and there ap pears to be small chance of evet re opening the mines. For many years breaks have been oc curring in the hillsides where the roof would cave in and the ground drop. In each case after such an occurrence the smoke would increase in volume, the gas discharge would be very noticeable all over the community and the lire would greatly increase. Now the gases generated have invaded other mines and made parts of them unworkable. A large section of the Martin & Iloan mine on the same vein has been block ed t»ff and development stopped be cause the gases coming through the fissures made work in the mines ex ceedingly hazardous. Three other mines near by. including the old Straitsville mine, now known as No. 33, have also been walled off and development work toward the burning field entirely stop ped.—Argonaut.

A Feat Wherewith Our Navy Made a World's Record. Admiral Fletcher’s quiet ami digni fied occupation of Vera Cruz showed a state of preparedness of which the na tion might well be proud. It broke the world's record in militar,\ and tn- vn| annals and commanded the ad miration of all the foreign ollb-ers pres out Within the brief space of three hours 1.100 marines and bluejackets had leaped from their small boats, clambered up the stone slops of the sea wall and the \thrice heroic eit.\ of the true cross.\ as Vera Cruz proudly calls herself, was occupied The movement was so sudden aiul executed with such military precision that the Mexican troops ashore seemed dazed.

Iluerta's arch enemy sent a band of bis soldiers through the gambling district of a Mexican town on the border and collected the price of the motor—$S00 in silver. A couple of soldiers brought the money in a wheelbarrow to the company's office.— Philadelphia Ledger Senator Helen Ring Robinson is busy in Colorado arousing and educating the women of that state to their responsi bility m solving what she calls the three-fold problem to be solved with the aid of the women. This problem includes Immigration, Class and race hatred, also Capitalist-Labor relations. “All three feed on one another, and are combined in one industrial hate,” said Senator Robinson “I have no patent remedy to put forth, but it does seem to me that right men can solve it.” “Our great work in the campaign this summer will be to try at the pri maries and general election to put into office people who are pledged to bring about, through legislation, industrial peace and industrial justice in Colora do ” Senator Robinson led the women to the state Capitol and sat on the steps and filled the corridors and Governor’s offices until he was forced to wire Pres ident Wilson for Federal troops to force the state militia out of the coal fields, where thpy shot and burned the wo men and children occupying the strik ers’ tents.
