a strike, but to wait patiently for the old
men.
I'm special branches this policy is i'm
possible, such as in street and other rail-

but it is a sad necessity, to be avoided

sentiment plays a potent part and hastens

In conclusion Mr.. Carnegie said:
1T is wholesome that capital should be
made to pay well for labor and to pay
very high for it when profits are high,
and it is inevitable that wages will fall
when profits fall, so that we must not ex-
pect, neither be alarmed at, repeated de-
employers and employees from time to
time. These are healthy signs. What the
civic federation should ann at is that
and for these 1 can see no cure so effec-
tive as trade agreement providing for
arbitration, after every effort has been
exhausted to settle the differences by the
employer and his men,.

I have not much fear of the menace of

this wild socialism. it comes from those
who are not industrious and who do not

richer and more powerful elements of So

At the close of Archbishop IreIand's
speech August Belmont was introduced.
He said in part:

ter, our national wealth., our national

great democratic idea of cooperation be-
tween citizens in all walks of life, that in
the end the betterment Of all society may
be attained. In this idea-the betterment
of all society-is the inspiration of the
civic federati ton. 1t aims to bring together
citizens of every vocatiOn-al who are in
terested in life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness so by a, united effort it may
be possible to improve the relations be-
tween the so-called employer and en-
ployed.

Of Your Heart,

It is the engine that forces
the blood to every part of the
body; this blood conveys the
nourishment that makes flesh,
bone and muscle; it also car
ries off the worn-out particles.
If the heart futters or pa1pi-
tates, it is weak, and is work
ing imperfectly, SO that the
body does not get this nourish-
ment; it also fails to throw off
the impurities, and they re-
main to poison the system.
If it is irregular, skips beats,
or is painful, the heart is prob
ably "leaky" and the circulation
poor. These conditions are
dangerous. You can make
your heart well, and keep it

BELMONT CHOSEN.
Succeeds Hanna as President of Civic
Federation.

New York, Dec. 17.-August Bel
mont was elected president of the Ma
tional Civic federation to succeed the
late Senator Marcus A. Hanna. The
election took place at the dinner of
the National Civic federation which
was held at the Park Avenue hotel.
During the day a committee composed
of Archbishop Ireland, John Mitchell
and Franklin MacVeagh was appoint
ed by the executive committee of the
federation, which is holding its an
nual meeting here, to select a presi-
dent and the choice fell upon Mr.. Bel
mont. The committee reported its
choice and Mr.. Belmont was elected.
The other officers chosen were first
vice president, Samuel Gompers; sec
ond vice president, Oscar S. Strauss;
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee. Henry Phipps; treasurer. Chas.
A. Moore; chairman welfare depart
ment, H. H. Vreeland; chairman trade
committee, Francis L. Robbins and
John Mitchell; chairman executive
council, Ralph M. Easley; secretary,
Samuel B. Donnelly.
The dinner was attended by 270
members of the federation. Samuel
Gompers acted as POSTMASTER.
Mr. GomDers said that labor had
found out through the Civic federation
that employers are not the modern
monsters which they used to pic
ture in the past. He said he welcomed.
adviSedly, for labor, which he repre-
scented, the organizations of employers.
When Mr.. Gompers announced that
Andrew Carnegie's indisposition kept
him away and wished for a speedy re-
covery and improved health for the
iron master, there was much applause.
He then introduced Ralph NJ. Easley,
who read Mr.. Carnegie's address,
which was in part as follows:
Il think the great corporation engaged
in dispute with its men makes a mis-
take if it adopts the policy, or even con-
siders it, of running the works with new
men. First, the best workmen are not
idle, and to employ the only class that
can be obtained is to lay the foundation
of serious future trouble. 1t does not pay
to lose a body of excellent workmen, and
sober, respectable men, nor to employ the
class of workmen whose services can be
obtained to fill their places. There is an
other consideration of much weight. Just
in proportion that the workman is earn
est and efficient is his pride in his work
To compel him to stand by and see an
outsider almost sure to be his inferior,
both as workman and as man, take his
place, is to subject him to a trial he
should be spared. That the support of his
wife and children depends upon his la
Dor. of which he is deprived by another,
is the most excruciating thought of all
This is a trial to which no workman
should be subjected
eff, in case of strike, the employer
promptly informed his men that they need
have no apprehension about their jobs,
that he would not have any but his own
men, and knew that he could not get such
men as they, and therefore wait for them

The elephants are not coming, but
the street car company's track sweep
er is at large.
''Z-z-z-z-z-t-t! Boom! Br-r-r-r-r!i"
One of the most terrifying things
about the new sweeper is its noise. A
horse might be able to stand the looks
of the thing, but the sputter and lurid
flash of the electricity from the big
dynamos, the hoarse growl of the
armature, the whiz and whirr of the
big brooms is too much for the nerves
of even a steady and reliable horse.
1t is enough to make a nervous an
imal walk through a plate glass win
dow. But the horses are getting used
to it. The sweeper was skylarking
about town all day, and so far as
known there were no accidents. Sew
eral horses tried to climb telephone
poles, and a few more insisted upon
executing a rapid right about face,
before anything serious happened.

This is not because of its extreme mod

in the suburbs the skirts are taken
off, and the brooms throw the snow

When the snow is very deep the
car is provided with big iron wings,
which it unfolds by means of a series
of chains and pulleys. The wings
push the snow back from the tracks,
while the brooms clean the track
itself.
In the car the noise is deafening.

NO BLOOD SPILLED.
Colonel Greene Returns to New York
After Seeing Lawson.

Boston, Dec. 17.-Colonel Greene
returned to New York on the o'clock
train yesterday afternoon, after hav-
in gbeen in conference with Mr. Law
After Colonel Greene left, a member
of a prominent Boston brokerage
firm, who attended the conference, is
sued a statement which, he said, had
been assented to by Colonel Greene
and Mr.. Lawson.
The substantial part of the state
ment was that Mr.. Lawson had called
upon Colonel Greene at the hotel
after learning that Greene was in Bos-
ton; that Greene had maintained at
the conference that the recent breaks
in the stock market were due to the
public utterances of Mr.. Lawson; that
the colonel felt keenly the decline in
certain stocks in which he was inter-
ested, and that Mr.. Lawson had main
tanned, in answer to Colonel Greene,
that he had done nothing to bring
about any fail in the stocks in which
Colonel Greene was interested. The
statement concluded with the words:
Each gentleman has a perfect I'M
Outstanding of the others position.
There is nothing further to state of
public interest
each refused to discuss in any way the
conference, saying that the general
statement contained all they had to
express.
Colonel Greene has publicly adver-
tiSed that he would call on Mr.. Law
son and denounce him as ''liar, fakir
and charlatan." but Mr.. Lawson an
ticipated this by appearing at the
Hotel Touraine at an early hour in the
forenoon.
At the end of the conference, Mr..
Lawson and Colonel Greene made
hurried exit from the hotel, the latter
being driven at once to the railroad
station.
