The July issue of THE ARENA, which will open Volume XXXVI., will be an extremely and unusually strong and attractive number. Among many features of special interest which we expect to publish in this issue we mention the following: III. LABOR TROUBLES IN COLORADO AND IDAHO. By Hon. J. Warner Mills. This paper will contain the next chapter in Mr. Mills' extremely valuable story of the overthrow of popular government in Colorado. It will deal with the Eight-Hour Struggle and the strikes that have resulted in the tremendous battle between the united capitalistic organizations-the trusts, monopolies and the publicservice companies-and union miners-a struggle that is still being waged with desperate daring in Colorado and Idaho, and which constitutes one of the most sinister chapters in the history of present-day events. IV. SOLVING THE LABOR PROBLEM. By Hon. Lucius F. C. Garvin, Ex-Governor of Rhode Island. A clear and comprehensive discussion of the labor question from the view-point of a SingleTaxer who believes that by the destruction of special privileges and monopoly rights, the freeing of the land and the establishment of democratic methods in government, the evils which have grown so giant-like can be remedied and justice established. V. CHILD-LABOR, COMPULSORY EDUCA TION AND RACE SUICIDE. By Will French. A thought-stimulating and highly suggest paper in which the author takes the advance position that the best interests of the nation woul be conserved by accompanying compulsory ec cation by the system of pensioning all child during their period at school. VI. FUNDAMENTAL PRACTICAL MEASURES FOR BULWARKING AND MAINTAININ FREE GOVERNMENT. This is the supplementary chapter to th Primer of Direct-Legislation, and discusses the Recall, Proportional Representation and Direc Primaries. The Recall has been treated by Eltweed Pomeroy, A.M., President of the Ntional Direct-Legislation League; Proportiona Representation is presented by Robert Tyson. Secretary of the American Proportional Repr sentation League; and Direct Primaries is presented by Ira Cross. These gentlemen specialists who are probably as well equipped for the work assigned them as any persons in America. VII. BRITISH EGYPT. By Ernest Crosby. The second part of Mr. Crosby's extremel interesting and valuable historic survey of the British occupation of Egypt. VIII. RAMBLES IN SWITZERLAND. By Carl S. Vrooman. A delightful paper of travel in which this scholarly writer incidentally describes the benef cent results of governmental ownership of rail ways. IX.
