woRkMeN HURLED TO DEATH
Twelve Men Killed by Falling Crane
AZ Wabash Bridue, Near Pittsburc.

at Wabash Bridge, Near Pittsburs'
Plttsburg. Oct 20.-By the breaking
OF the ropes carrying five beams to
their position, letting the tons OF iron
fall upon the movable crane at the
Pfttsburg end of the new Wabash
bridge being built by the American
Bridge Company over the Monongaheil
river. almost dozen wOrkmen werf
hurled to death by fall OF more than
100 feet. striking the water and two
barges beneath. Eight of the dead
have been recovered Five are seri-
ously injured Several bodies are yet
pinned under the wrecked barge. The
part OF the bridge extending ont ovoi
the river from the Water street sid
is a total wreck
There were "a men at work on tn
superstructure Of the bridge and in
the barge below. from which the beam
were being hoistcd by the crane, T.
feet above the river level when tn
booms collapsed. OF the men VINO
were in the barge some escaped with
their lives by jumping into the river
the moment they heard the crash
above. Some of the men on the super
structure who were engaged in rivet-
ing and handling the airs that were
lifted from the arge also got of unin-
jured.
II was rumOred that the accident
was due to an experiment In the con
struction Of the ridge in order to save
time. The rumor had il that this was
the first bridge ever built without I'M
derpinning. and that the company did
not use any underpinning because 1t
was thought that much time might be
saved.
John McTlghe happened to be on the
Monongahela wharf. watching the men
at work when the accident occurred.
McTighe. in giving description OF
the accident. said:
1.-THE men were preparing to ram in
one of the pins on the bridge when
the ACCIDENT took place. Before | knew
what had happened | saw the entire
top OF the traveller collapse and the
next minute the men were falling
through the air. IL was a terrible
sight The men turned oyer and over
as they fell. and their bodies looked
like so many flies. One of the men
who fell from the top Of the structure
alighted on his head on the barge and
rebounded several feet. falling into
the water. His crushed body was taxi
en- out later"

CHILD LABOR.

The question OF child labor has
again come up for discussion, and IL
almost universally condemned. Men
and women are lecturing on the sub
ject and Legislatures are called up
on to pass laws to prohibit child
labor and thus save many OF the
children of the land from growing up
in ignorance. One OF the most prac-
tical addresses on the subject we have
seen was delivered by Miss Jane
Adams some time since in Chicago.
She declared that the problem OF
child labor is serious one, and thas
il goes unsolved because those in au-
thority DO not care enough to try to
solve it, which ia reproach to those
in whose hands the solution lies. The
putting Of young children at work in
factories or elsewhere at time when
they should be in a school can be d.
tended upon no ground whatever.
Not only does it take out ofthe hands
of those who should be bread win
ners. but it tends to reduce the COM
pensation of labor, and, worst oil all,
il prevents the development OF the
child into useful and intelligent citi-
zenship. But Miss Adams says that
the consumers are largely RESPONSE
BILE for all this cheapening OF the
source Of production, with all It's
baleful effects upon the home, the
family and the citizenship OF the
United States. The demand for
cheap things must be met by cheap
labor. and when that labor is child
labor it is not difficult to trace and
fix the responsibility. Often, OF
course, the help OF the child is needed
in the support OF the family, but
these instances are so scarce in COM
parison with those in which the child
is forced into the factory, shop or
store in order that parents might be
relieved OF some OF the burdens they
should bear, that they do not count
in the consideration of the problem.
