...feelings of partisanship are lost when one remembers the world-wide role he played, and the example he set.

Some mines of low-profit margin have already shut down. Others threaten to do so. Mineowners and miners, who face loss of employment, were last week beseeching California's insurance commissioner to forbid any such rate upping on account of silicosis hazards...
