Going on, we enter room after room.
Each has one or more looms, with bare
armed, bare-headed men and women weav-
ing away. All kinds of silks are turned
out and the wages in all cases are low.
The men earn on an average 60 cents a
day and the women AS cents. The best
workmen sometimes earn from 81 to $1.25
and a very few as much as $40, or IL
francs per day.
In some buildings we find the looms
worked by electricity. the lightning hav-
ing been called to make brocades and silks
for our women's dresses. The electricity
is furnished by a society at such a rate
that a man gets electrical power for 5
cents a day and pays for his loom on in
stallments. With such looms the men
can make better wages, working In the

been living and working for generations.

falling off in their trade is due to our pro-
tective tariff, which has built up the silk

cities. In these places the silk is made In

who work en- the house looms and are the
descendants of many generations of silk
weavers. The mill is somewhat like a great

II looks more like a residence section
than an Industrial one. Still Lyons has
hundreds OF silk factories and the most
Of them are situated upon that hill.
Suppose we visit it. We descend by the
Saone, cross the bridge and take the trolley
car through the city to the cable station at
the foot OF Croix Rousse. We go into the
car, dropping a sou, or l cent, at the turn
stile, for that is what is charged for the
ride. We enter a box car where a score
Of silk workers are standing. and in a mo-
ment find ourselves riding to the top of the
hill. A few steps from the station above
takes you into the heart of the silk indus
try Of Lyons. We can tell it by the click!
click! click! which is heard on every street
and in every hallway. The houses are lean
fve-story structures. built along alley-like
streets, with narrow entrance doors. They
look like tenement buildings and they are
indeed little more than tenements, great
beehives filled with laborers, every cell OF
which is a little factory. Most of the work
in the great silk depar ,ment of the Rhone
is done on hand looms, and there are AGO.
600 men thus employed in this department.
Even where power looms are used the work
is largely that Of house industry, several
weavers having, in a single room, looms

We enter one Of the buildings and walk

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
General Bell Adopts Stern
 Measures In Batangas.
THE INSURGENTS GIVEN NO REST.
Conditions In Samar Still Unsatis- factory--Island of Leyte Declared Perfectly PeaceabIe--Empor-
 tant Captures mt TarIac.

MANILA, Jan. G,--General J. Frank lin Bell is conducting q vigorous cam paign in Batangas province. Every available soldier is ill the field. The columns under the command of Colo nels Wint and Dougherty are doing ex- cellent work and driving the Filipinos iE all directions.
 X number of the latter are fleeing to Tayabas province, where the native constabulary are rendering valuable as- SiStance in capturing men and rifles.
 The advocates of peace at Manila deprecate the stern measures employed by General Bell. In reply General Bell says that these peace advocates have had numerous opportunities to use their influence. as they have been given passes through the American lines al- most for the asking and that it has been afterward proved that they often only went through the lines for the purpose of assisting the insurrection. General Bell says that the best peace method now is a rigorous warfare until the insurrection is completely subdued.
 The arrest of members of the wealthy Lopez family and the confiscation of their steamers and rice as well as the arrest of three members of the religious corporations who were known to be in stigators of the insurrection have had an excellent effect upon the natives.
 Conditions in the island of Samar are still unsatisfactory owing to the diff culty of finding the insurgents.
 The civil authorities say that the is- land of Leyte is now perfectly peace full On the other hand, the military authorities consider Leste to be dan gerous on account of it's proximity to Samar if for no other reason.
 Last Friday Major Albert L. Myer of the Eleventh infantry captured quite an extensive arsenal and plant for the making of cartridges at Ormoc, on the northwest coast of Leyte. Major Myer also captured another powder factory, large. quantities of ammunition, four cannon and several rifles.
 Captain Pitcher reports that he is rapidly ridding the island of Mindoro of insurgents.
 The constabulary of Tarlac, Luzon, have captured number of members of the Filipino secret society called the Guardia de Honor. The prisoners intended moving to the island of Pulil- To, off the east coast of Luzon where they expected to be free of American interference, temporarily at least, and where they had decided to resist Amer, ican invasion to the uttermost. Twen, ty members of the Guardia de Honor are charged with sedition. w

Wittmer Will Prepare to Do Battle
 With Dwyer

With DWyer.
 Cincinnati, O., Jan 6.4-Charley Witt mer, the premier American Graeco- Roman wrestler, who has thrown both Tom Jenkins and Dan Mcleod at that style, is ready to take Tom Jenkins place against Prof Dwyer, the crack eastern man, and agrees to throw Dwyer four times in one hour Graeco- Roman. or three times in one hour at catch-as-catch-c He is willing to wager any amount that Dwyer may name and will bar the strangle hold if requested. Wittmer is just now in great shape and is very sore over the way Jenkins turned down his challenge to wrestle for the worlds Graeco- Roman championship. Jenkins does not want to wrestle where there is a chance of being beaten" said Wittmer to q reporter last night" and this seems to be borne out by the fact that he refuses to wrestle Mcleod or any other man of reputation for a side bet. Mcleod is willing to wrestle Jenkins for any part of $1O,000 a side, and it is understood that the break between Manager Tuohey and Jenkins is due to the fact that Jenkins does not care to wrestle men who have an even chance with him, and then also draws the line on meeting men of lesser. note in handicap matches. because, as he claims, it lessens the dignity Of a champion. A champion should be the first to be ready to meet all corners under fair conditions. I am ready to take Jenkins's place against anybody living, bar none.. My record is better than his. and have never lost de cision at my own style. I held You souf to q draw in three hours, but he defeated Jenkins in an hour. I have thrown Jenkins at Graeco-Roman and am open to the world for side bet al that style. However. will wrestle any style and bar no man., I will give handicaps that will enable lighter men to have an even chance with me, and will be ready to wrestle once week or oftener if opponents can be SC cured" Wfttmer intends going east in a few days.

STEEL TRUSTS HEAD
REAL DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER OF
THAT BIG ENTERPRISE.

Personality of the Nam Who Has
Attracted Attention by Declaring
That MOnopOIies Are Wrong and
Trusts Beneficial.
Mr. Gilbert II. Gary is chairman of
the executive committee of the United
States Steel corporation. He is the
real head of that great Industrial or
ganization. Through recent widely
published interview, in which he took
the somewhat surprising position that
while monopolies are all wrong and
utterly indefensible trusts are highly
beneficial concerns, Mr.. Gary has been
brought into more or less prominence.
His ideas seem to have been generally
accepted as interesting even if unique.
Unlike many of this country's sue
cesSful men. Mr.. Gary was not COM
PEELED to struggle against poverty in
his youth. His father, Erastus Gary,
was Il wealthy landowner in Du Page
county. Ill, and there the future trust
defender and foe of monopoly first saw
the light of day in 1916.
Until 1898 Mr.. Gary made his home.
at Wheaton. ILL.,. his native town, when
on his election as president of the Fed
eral Steel company he removed to New
York.
1t was Mr.. Gary who organized the
Federal Steel company, and it was his
brain more than any other which united
the fifteen great companies which form
the United States Steel corporation,
with its stock and bond capitalization
of 81, 322 ,259. 300, the most stupendous
and farreaching financial creation of
human ingenuity. Today he is the real
director of its policies and activities,
one of the foremost captains of indus
try.
The advantages of wealth made Mr..
Gary's youthful pathway smooth. He
received n liberal education in the COM
mon schools and at college. He studied
law with prominent firm of attorneys
for two years before entering the Union
Law college of Chicago. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1867. but did not
begin practice on his own account until
1870. The three years interim was
spent as deputy clerk of the superior
court of Cook county, Ill.
Early in his legal career Mr.. Gary
devoted himself To Il study of the law
affecting corporations. He became the
general counsel for Il number of rail-
roads, bonding and trust companies
and, among others, the American Steel
and Wire company and the Illinois
Steel company.
Mr.. Gary's talents as an organizer
were illustrated in the formation of the
American Steel and Wire company,
