HEAVY DEMAND FOR COPPERs IN

DUE TO DEPARTMENT STORES.

WASHINGTON, November SO-The
Treasury Department has been aston
ished during the past few days by
the overwhelming demand from Cali
fornia for pennies. san Francisco is
the loudest in its cry, but the orders
have also come from Los Angeles, Sac
ramento, san Diego and other cities.
The department sent all the pennies
available here, and issued hurry-up
orders to the New orleans and phil1-
delphia MINIS Chicago and Now York
Sub-Treasuries. and even sent pennies
from Baltimore.
Preparations are on foot to equip the
Mint at San Francisco with machinery
for making pennies, something never
done before on account of the tradi-
tional neglect of small coins by the
Pacific Coast people
Department officials asked San
Francisco what had caused the sudden
demand, and the reply was that the
department stores had chopped price
to odd figures, making the use Of PEN
MES necessary. The approach Of
Christmas is also given as a reason for
the demand, though no such cry went
up on the eve of previous holidays.
Treasury people say they are glad to
see pennies working toward California,
and that when once established they

EMPLOYERS RAISING WAGES
Voluntary Act Upon Their Part, and
Not Enforced By Employees.

The San Francisco Call says It is to
be noted that in nearly every case the
rise in wages Of last year and of the
new year has been due to a voluntary
act on the part of the employers. There
have been strikes, of course, and some
of them have been of great magnitude,
but STILL as compared with the country
as a whole, the largest strike, even that
of the anthracite miners, is but little
thing. The upward tendency of wages
has been met by the great mass of en-
ployers with willing spirit, and the
labor Of the country has been given a
fair share in the general prosperity.
Our situation in that respect is the
more notable when cOntraSted with the
hard times that prevail all over Europe.
Even in progressive Germany wages
have not risen, and of late there has
been a menace of an industrial depres-
sion that threatens to throw thousands
of wOrkingmen out Of employment. In
Great Britain the labor situation is
serious, and in some important lines
of industry the rate of wages has de-
clined from the level Of two years ago.
1t will be seen then, that we have good
reason to rejoice over the conditions of
last year and the prospects that dawn
with the new one. Our prosperity has
beer in the fullest sense of the words
the prosperity of the workers, and it is
the hope Of all that it may continue So

ter that you'd thought was saving fur
niture from the fire. One neighbor who
was watching me from across the street
did come over after the fire was out
and congratulated me on saving the
lives OF so many young men. All these
thieves were under 80.
mo less than six of them said they
were linemen and each one of the six
gave me a song and dance about five
dead wires on the roof.
Zone of them did have some respect
for my intelligence Instead of trying to
butt in empty-handed with a fiimsy ex-
cuse to go up stairs and steal things, he
came up the steps, looking as worried
and business-like as he knew how, and
with coil of telephone wire in his
hand.
''He was so sure that that trick would
fool me that he didn't say a word, but
just pointed to his wire and then to
the roof and then made break for the
stairs. tripped him, too, damned the
coil down over his head, and the only
thing that saved his neck from being
broken was that when he landed on the
sidewalk his shoulder struck first

third, but none of the firemen paid any
attention to him, SO l bowled him out

"There was one other man with a
piece of tin on his coat, and he had
more nerve than all the rest put to-
gether. I threw him out once, but he
came UP the steps again, pointing to his
badge and accompanied by a policeman.
"The cop said that the man had a
badge and was all right. That was the
limit. Why, that crook hadn't been out
of jail long enough to get rid of the
prison pallor, but the cop was too
quick to notice that.

again, and then said to the police
man: "'Have I got to fight the police
force as we'll as all the thieves in New
York to protect my property from be-
