While over one hundred and forty

refusing them living wages, Mark Hanna

The Farm and Home has "roast' for
the state fair and the fair commissioners.
II THE HERALD is not mistaken Editor
Freeman was incontnently fred from an
executive meeting OF the commissioners a
short time ago aud he vents his spleen in
this manner. If Freeman, in the years
be has been in Yakima, had done half as
much work for the country as any one Of
the fair commissioners has accomplished
in week, his querulous though un-
warranted comments would come with
better grace.

FATALITIES IN FACTORIES
More Persons Killed and Injured Last
Year Than In the Spanish
American war.

Commissioner John McMackin, of the
| state bureau of labor statistics, in his
annual report of the legislature COM
pares the number of deaths and inju-
ries among the million persons employed
in the factories and shops of this state
| to the number of killed and wounded in
the Spanish-American war. He points
out that 700 toilers met their death
through accidents last year and that of
the injuries sustained by 10000 work.
men, 5000 of these injuries entailed
disablement for period in excess of
three months. He contrasts this rec
ord with the casualties of the recent
war, stating that only $50 were killed
and 1877 wounded in battle. The COM
missioner favors the enactment of an
employers liability law.
Between 1856 and 1899 the number of
employees in $3.50 establishments in
creased 56,321. In these establishments
the wages during that period increased
from $141, 1s4,s45 in 1896 to $162, 645, GAO
last year. The only branches of indus
try which do not exhibit improved
conditions in 1s9s-99, as compared with
1S97-9S are the textile and building in
dustries. The decline in the textile in
dustry il confined to the wooden and
cotton factories, and does not occur in
the manufacture of silk, hosiery and
knit goods, or in any of the other tex
tiles. The reported decline in the build
ing industry is more apparent than real,
as it is simply the result of abnormally
large figures for 1s97-os, reported by
single establishment.
Comparing 1899 with 1896, the indus
tries enjoying the largest growth are
clothing, public utilities ii. e., gas, cleo
trio lighting and street railways), met
ais, machinery, ETC., and leather, all of
which exhibited a larger increase than
the general average.
During the first three months of 1897
virtually one-fourth of all members of
labor unions were unemployed. There
after gradual improvement set in,
with the result that fewer members
were reported idle each quarter than in
the corresponding quarter in the pre-
ceding year, until the last three months
in 1898 and the first three in 1899. And
it was not until the second and third
quarters of 1899 that the number of
the unemployed was reduced to any
thing like normal proportions. In the
third quarter of 1899 the proportion of
unionists continuously employed was
scarcely tenth of the proportion in the
first quarter of 1897, and was less than
half the proportion in the third quarter
of 1S97.-N. Y. Sun.

TROUBLE ON THE MISSOURI.

Th. Cantnfn Suspended Pending In

Surgeon General Sternberg has received

absolutely false. They have been spread
by dissatisfied ships officer"
The reports referred to arose out Of
controversy between Major Arthur and the
centa,p of the ship as to the management
of the shin. which started on the original
vovape from New York to Manila On
arriving at Manila Major Arthur reported
that the CAPTAIN had been insubordinate
and troublesome, but the officials at Wash
,neton did not consider the case sufficiently
serious to Justify any interference, and SO
the shin was allowed to continue her cruise
to San Francisco without any change OF
officers. On arriving at San Francisco
Major Arthur again complained to the de-
partment of the conduct Of the ships cap
tain. and, on the recommendation of Col
Long, depot quartermaster at San Francis
co, Quartermaster Ludington directed the
susoeuston of the ships captain pending
the result of an investigation of the differ

there is no issue between Major Arthur and
the ouartermaster of the Missouri and
that there is no truth in the report that
the quartermaster has left San Francisco
to make personal complaint to the authori-
ties here At least. If the quartermaster
has left San Francisco he has done so
without permission and has rendered him
self liable to court-martial proceedings.
Meanwhile the Missouri Is undergoing ex-

The Day In 1861.
The 22d of February, 1861, was one OF
more than ordinary interest, owing to the
political storm then raging, and the ex-
cited condition of the public mind-oc-
curing, as 1t did less than two weeks
prior to the Inauguration of Mr.. Lincoln.
At that time there were a number Of
United States troops here. including the
batteries of Magruder, Barry and Fry, and
the popular military spirit ran high in an
ticipation OF active service. The older
companies had grown to battalions, and
numbers of others formed or were In pro-
cess of formation. 1t was arranged Tor a
grand military parade and quite cred

fantry and National Guard battalions, Tur-
ner Rifles, Washington Rifles. Metropolitan
Rifles and Company A, Union Regiment
and Presidents Mounted Guard being the
Washington contingent, and the Potomac
Light Infantry, Anderson Rifles, Scott

GEORGETOWN Mounted Guard that of George

In the afternoon there was special pa

moved the reference of the treaty to his
committee.
Senator Davis met this motion with a
polni OF order against the present consid-
eraton OF the motion, and under this mo-
ZION the matter went over until the next
executive session.
There was no debate. but the motion of
senator Aldrich was the result of more or
less comforting among the element which
may be designated as the opponents Of the
treaty They take the position that as the
treaty directly affects the tariff 1t should be
considered by the finance committee which
has charge of all financial and revenue
questions, and not by the committee on
foreign relations, which does not deal with
such questions. On the other hand. the
members of the foreign relations committee
contend for its Jurisdiction over all trea-
ties.
Senator Cullom has taken an advanced
position on this point and he and Others
are preparing for a vigorous contest of Mr.
Aldrich'S motion.

How Profit Sharing Works

One year ago the Baker Manufacture
ing company of Evansville, surprised it's
employees by making them a present of
TO per cent of what their previous earn
ings for 1893 had been and stated that
during the year 1899 the factory would
be operated on the profit sharing plan,
the employees receiving percentage of
the net profits. Last SATURDAY the per
centage amounting to S14,197.78 was dis
tributed among the employees, the sum
being over so per cent of the wages
earned during the year 1899. The larg-
est sum received by any one was $498,45,
which was paid to Supt. S. j. Baker.
The average amount paid was $245.79.
When it is borne in mind that these
sums were paid in addition to the regu-
lar wages it will be seen that the Baker
Manufacturing company is giving its
employees a large interest in the bust
ness. The profit sharing system will be
continued.
