KILLED IN ELEVATORS.
Accidents Which Show That Greater Care
is Needed

is Needed
New York. Feb 10 Three men were
instantly killed M Il two were severely
injured, che of them fatally, by accidents
in elevators here 20 day. The killed are
John Degnnn. II laborer at the Hotel
Waldorf
Oscar Wesiherg, assistant ianitor of
the Walton buildings, on Fifth avenue
William Ochs, ii driver for .nn express
company.
james Foley and Thomas Looney are
the injured. Foley is not likely to re-
cover.
The accident in which Degnan met his
death and Looney and Foley were injured
occurred at the Waldorf. The three men
were taking ashes from the cellar on IA
freight elevator, when two of the four
chains of the elevator broke and the men
were thrown to the sub-cellar, three sto-
ries below.
Westbeig met his death in almost ex.
actly the same way that Mrs. Arthur G..
Levy WAS killed at the Holland House
yesterday. He was alone in the ear in the
Walton building. While making7~an as
cent his head was crushed against a pro-
!iectiug floor.
Ochs was waiting for the elevator on
the eighth floor of The building ut SIS
broadway. The gate was open and Ochs
was looking down the shaft. The e;eva-
tor descended more rapidly than he had
expected, his head was caught and he was
almost decapitated.

by the doctors. If he takes those

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Next Friday night, don't fail to see
Lincoln J. Carter's latest success, "Un-
der the Dome," a comedy-drama of ab-
sorbing interest, and beyond doubt, the
greatest scenic triumph of the century.
The marvellous scenic effects in "Under
tho Dome" surpass anything heretofore
offered to the public.
See the beautiful illu minated view of
the U. S. Capitol at Washington; the
realistic ferry boat scene, from Hoboken
to New York by night. AS the boat
crosses the river, Now York City seems
to grow out of the distance, larger and
larger, till the landing at the New York
slip is made-A wonderful mechanical
illusion, entirely new to the stage. The
Coral Reef harbor of Apia, at Samoan
Islands. The admiral's salute from the
warships. And mastery reproduction
of the worlds greatest naval disaster,
the awful Samoan hurricane. This
storm scene is acknowledged to be the
greatest effect ever put upon the stage,
and receives nightly from ten to twenty
curtain calls, and often brings the whole
audience to its feet, cheering.
The management knowing of its
great success, has, by special arrange
ment, secured this attraction for next
Friday night, and person ally recon-
mends it.

Seven Of the situations re-

Seven Of the situations re-
terred to are held by members
of the association, and the re-
ductions in their cases are 55,
10, %, 80, 1893, II and 1913 per
cent respectively, and their av-
erage is over 80 per cent, while
the others only average about
% per cent.
1t is true, owing to the de-
preston and the cutting down
of expenses generally, that the
gross earnings Of the members
Of the organized crafts have in
many cases been reduced, in
some instances almost as
much as the figures show for
the engineers; but no trade
with any pretense at organiza-
ton, has suffered such a reduc-
ton in scale. In fact, during
the past three years n,where
there has been effective organi-
zation, more wage scales in
Duluth have been raised than
have been lowered.
The labor world., 1898-01-01
ENGINEERS WAGES.

Some weeks ago the Labor
World referred to the reduction
in wages that had been suffered
by the stationary engineers
during the past three years.
The reference called forth a
protest from the secretary of
the Duluth branch of the Ma
tional Association of Stationary
Engineers (which eschews
trades unionism and all efforts
to control wages and conditions
of employment in which he
says:
"From a canvass of 40 per cent of our
total membership, taken as they hap
pened, we found that 20 per cent have
had an increase of wages; p per cent
suffered reduction and the balance
were not affected either way. The aver
age reduction being 2H per cent"
The matter was referred to
the sources from which the
Labor World derived it's infor-
nation and we have had turn
ished us by members of the
craft in question the following
figures, the names of course be-
ing withheld as a matter Of
protection to men who other
wise might find themselves
minus the little jobs they now
have:
Fourteen houses three years
ago paid from $50 to $166.66 per
month; now the same firms are
paying from $50 to $500 per
month, and the reductions vary
all the way from II to So per
cent. The following table
shows the situation at a glance:
The labor world., 1898-01-01

embraces the formation of a
corporation in which is repre-
sented all the coal roads of
Pennsylvania to handle the en- =
tire output and deliver it direct
to the consumer. Under the
present system the cost Of dis
tributing the coal supply of
New York amounts to $3.50 per
ton; under Morgan's plan it
will not exceed $1.OO per ton,
and as the annual supply is
about 3O,000,00O tons, the pro-
fits of the com bination will not
fall below $15,O0O,OOO.
Of course most of us have
had experience enough to know
what the ten thousand dis
placed employees will do, but
we would like to have some of
our good friends who disbelieve
the evidence advanced by the
socialists as to the disappear
ance of the middle c1ass-the
bourgeOis-can tell us what
will become of the one thous-
and coal dealers.

REoED1NG PROSPERITY.

From the telegraph reports
in a single issue of a daily pa
per we happened on to these
items:
Manchester, N. H., Amoskeag
cotton mills reduce wages 1C
per cent beginning Jan. 1.
Patterson, N. J., have struck
against reduction of wages.
China, Pembroke and Web
ster cotton mills have posted
notices of a 10 per cent reduc-
ton affecting wages of 1900
oper atives.
What Mr.. Towne told Duluth
workingmen about only one
failure in five being put on the
wires by the press associations
is far more true of wage reduc-
tions, which concern the dis,
tant reader much less than
bank failures. If the former be
one in five the latter is proba-
bly, not one in twenty-five.
Mckinley has been in office
almost 10 months, a session of
congress, called especially to
restore prosperity, has long
since passed into history and
the regular session is we'll on
it's way. But where's your
prosperity?
How long will American
workingmen swallow CUFF and
allow himself to be tickled by
fools chatter, while the only
life he expects to live speeds
swiftly away, leaving him little
to remember it for except un-
satisfied necessities and unat-
tanned desires?
And yet the remedy is in our
own hands and all this could
be changed if the people only
willed it so.

Senator Thurston, who will
be remembered as one of the
gold bug orators who tried to
show Duluth1aus the errors of
their views, in the last cam
paign, is very wroth because
the congressional directory de-
scribes him as a silver man.
The trouble with the directory
compiler seems to be that he
consulted a speech made by
the senator before the national
convention, instead of after.

Aud now in conservative old
England, Joseph Chamberlain
is proposing a bill to pension

graduated tax upon the wage
fund, and it has the endorse
ment Of the insurance experts
and annuity companies.
The labor world., 1898-01-01

It is not always the union
men who are in constant en-
p1oyment who are to be cred
tied wholly, if at all, with the
maintenance of a scale of pri-
ces. The burden falls largely
upon those having but casual
employment, for it is they who
make the most sacrifices.

cannot join the old time friends
In their merry games and sports
While the pleading wall OF the poor ascends
To the Judge Of the upper courts;
And cannot sing the glad, free songs
That the world around me sings,
While my fellows move in cringing throngs
At the beck OF the gilded kings.
The scales hang low from the open skies
That have weighed them, one and all
And the fiery letters gleam and rise
Ger the feast in the palace hall.
But my lighter laye shall slumber on
The boughs Of the willow tree
Till the king is slain in Babylon.
And the captive hosts go free.
