PRESENT STEEL STRIKE.

1t is interesting to know what
the other side think of the position
of the laborer in the present steel
strike. Is his position all that he
claims? The mind of labor is a unit
even if its actions are diverse by
reason OF the stress of circumstan
ces. While the mind which con-
trolls capital acting as unit Is d'
vided on the ethical side OF these
demands made by labor. And it is
this phase of the subject Of the bet
terment OF the conditions of the
workman where lies his hope and
a completer recognition of the just
ness Of his cause.
While tear preceded these great
combinations of industry, it is now
seen that they contain much that
will be beneficial to everyone, and
especially to the workman Very

his being.
P. II. Laufman, who retired from
business when he sold his sheet
mills at Paulton and Salisbury to
the American Sheet Steel company
was a visitor at the headquarters OF
the amalganated association last

Steps Taken to Change Date.

New York, July 2S.-Ofhcial
steps looking to systematic agita>
ton for change of the date OF the
holding of the presidential inaugu-
ration have been taken, says a
special from Washington to the
World. Resolutions adopted at
the last inaugural committee meet
ing were laid b-sore the district
commissioners with request for
an appropriate action.
1t is understood the commissions
ers are in favor of date later than
March a and will bring the matter
to the attention of congress and the
governors of the several states and
territories.
The plan proposed by the inau-
gural committee is that national
committee be appointed, composed
of the governors of the states and
territories, fifteen additional citizens
Of the country at large and rep
resentation of foremost residents OF
Washington. This committee is to
select the date an J procure by con

CERTAINTY OF CONTRACT

The loan plan offered by The Fidelity Is
that of paying off loan by easy monthly
payments. The contract is definite and GER
tain. By its terms it cannot run beyond the
time fixed, but stock participates in earning
and may mature sooner. 1t is not loan
upon the building loan plan as usually pre-
sented by associations. 1t differs from
such plan, in that
No fines are charged the borrower.
No commission charged the borrower.
The maximum number of payments re-
qulred to pay off is stipulated in the note.
The sum required to pay off and cancel a
loan, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
note for each period.
Certainty and a monthly payment plan is
an advantage to the borrower. The debt
can be paid off before maturity without PEN
atty. The borrower by easy payments gets
out of debt. Straight loans for term of
years are too often renewed.
Our rates are low and loans
made on definite plan. Our Office

for the force of pickers TO make the
rounds of the gardens, and this must
be done every ten days, or about a
score of times during the season.
An expert can gather anywhere from
ten 10 twenty pounds of fresh leaf
day. Some of the little pickcrs earn
fifty or sixty cents "A day, but the ma
jority do not receive more than TWEEN
" or thirty cents.
The method of procedure after the
tea leaves have been picked Is not
very intricate one The crisp leaves
are gathered, as pluckcd, into Swiss
trout baskets, where they are per
mitted to lie as loosely as possible lest
they become heated. Each basketful.
as it is brought into the factory, is
carefully examined, and after being
weighed is spread TO dry in a cool,
clean place. Tea manufacture proper
consists Of two processes. In the one
the tiny oil cells in the leaf are broken
and the contents extracted by hot
water, while 10y the other the leaves
are once more dried thoroughly.
The product OF such method OF
handling is the green tea Of commerce.

field Of tea production, that the black
tea secured at Pinchurst may now
fairly be said to be largely machine
made. The sitting, rolling, oxidation
and firing are all done by mechanical
process. \ phase Of the handling Of
the tea in which the American grow
erS have exercised exceptional care Is
found in the curing Of the leaf No
direct sunlight is allowed TO strike the
leaves either when they are being
withered or during the process Of final
drying.
The possibilities OF tea culture i'm
this country would seem to be almost

AS soon rs the Secretary of Agricul.
ture became convinced that tea culture
in the South was not only practicable
but might be made profitable as well,
he arranged for the institution Of an
experimental plantation in South Caro-
lima. The site selected has proven a
most admirable one. PinehurSt, as it
is called, consists Of about seven hun
drcd acres of beautiful rolling country
thickly strewn with woodlands. About
fifty acres of the splendid estate were
transformed into tea gardens, and this
apportionmcnt has gradually been ex-
tended. The tiny seeds which had
been brought from the Far East were
left to repoSc in earthly beds. prepared
and sweetened with all the care which
could possibly be bestowed upon a
couch Of soil. Diminutivc shades were
even provided 20 screen these babies
of the plant world from the glare Of
the sun, and then the tea planters
anXiously awaited results.
At first the little immigrants did not
appear 10 take kindly TO the foreign
cline. and the Investigators became
so discouraged that they were well
