SACRIFICE OF FIRE FIGHTERS


Popular Mechanics
The death of Chief James Foley, of the
Milwaukee fire department. with three of
his bravest men, and the serious injury of
near a score of others from the effects OF
inhaling nitric acid gas has created pro-
found impression among fire fighters all
over the world. Not before was 1t realized
that the noxious fumes of nitric acid gas
were so fatal. While the lesson has been
an irretrievable loss to Milwaukee it may
serve to the worlds advantage in bringing
about a safer method of fighting gases than
is now employed.
There was no fire; only a carboy of nitric
acid had broken at the plant of the
Schwaab Stamp and Steel Company, and
the gases rose like smoke i'm sickening.
hurtful fumes, which the brave firemen did
not hesitate to attack In the discharge of
their duty. All about were men who knew
the danger of the acid gases and who were
accustomed to handling them; but why
should they risk their lives when the city
of Milwaukee employed men whose duty it
was to die in defense of a corporations
property when necessary?
So the firemen did their work unhesitat-
ingly as all the while they unconsciously
breathed the air of poison. The escaping
gases were cleared away and the cause re-

men went home none realized that the
deadly fumes they had inhaled were yet to
clog up the blood of their bodies and ex-
haust their breath Soon a CHASTITY sick
ness pervaded them and the firemen began
their struggle with death. The gases they
had breathed were fires that now tugged at
the very portals of their lives. They knew
better how to save the lives and property
of others than to fight the devouring in
fuences of these gases that ragged and
gnawed within them. 1t was an awful
fire headquarters, none knowing who would
next surrender to the most deadly lurking
foe they had ever encountered. Before
daylight next morning came the news TO
the firemen who lay yet battling with death
that their beloved chief for twenty years
had succumbed. Captain Andrew White, of
the hook and ladder truck company, could
not longer Withstand the gaseous foe, and

The Review of Reviews has taken time to
investigate the conflicting reports of the
success of the profit-sharing venture OF
the United States Steel Corporation. and
now finds that 1t is even more promising
than Its projectors expected. At the close
of the first month just twice the amount OF
stock set aside for this purpose had been
subscribed for, the total reaching a little
more than fifty thousand shares.
Fifty per cent of all the subscribers

long to Glass +, which is composed of men

scribers. taking only about 10 per cent. OF
the shares, belong TO the class of employees
in which may be found managers, superin-
tendents and the hgher-salaried officials OF
the company. These men wanted many
more shares. but under the limitation set
were unable to get them.
IL thus turns out that nearly one-sixth Of
the employees of the steel trust have be-
come stockholders, the par value of their
holdings reaching s4.5OOO00. or this sum
100000 is taken by men whose pay ranges
from $500 to 1900 "A year.
The officers OF the company are evidently
of opinion that they have solved the labor
question so far as il concerns their indus
try by the simple expedient of taking their
men into partnership. The working out Of
the plan is a matter of national interest.
