THE WORKERS SHARE

The Quiet announcement by the Pennsy vana Railroad
company Of 10 per cent increase in the wages of all ITS
employees receiving under 5000 month is one OF the
most important bits Of industrial made public IN a
long time.
Only 10000 directly affected by it, and only
$2OOOOOO year is directly involved in it. but back of it
lies principle which ought to be close to the heart of all
business.
''The board takes this action" says the official
nomcement, by of the increased cost of living
and the present great prosperity of the country in which
the Pennsylvania railroad shares
The country has grown accustomed to statistics of pro-
ducton trade and profits in figures; and we
have called it prosperity
But for most people the signs of prosperity most
1y been in statistics Small part of any substantial pros
perity has filtered down to the pockets of wage
The general and enormous increase in cost of living
has promptly absorbed whatever increase there has been
in wages and while the pay envelopes have been little
fatter Saturdays than before the pocketbooks have
been just fiat on Friday nj gifts.
1t is decidedly unusual and all the gratifying
because unusual to great corporation the Penn
sylvania Railroad company voluntarily recognize that
labor has much right to fair profit selftha while
supendous profits. the whose skill and fidelity in
vice have made these profits possible entitled too to
share and above the actual cost of living.
The effects of the Pennsylvania action will not be
limited to the 10000 directly affected and the $12
100000 year directly involved but the influence of the
action must widely extend among other railroad COM
panies and allied corporations.
An announcement of such action this has more
meaning of real prosperity for the people of this country
than has the announcement of the biggest dividend ever
declared.

For long time neighbors heard
the cries of what they thought was
wolf issuing from the corn crib.
Recently they discovered that an
imbecile child was kept In the
filthy place and the police were
notified.
When the nameless boy was lift
ed from his bed of rags he barkeo
like dog and scratched at the Of
ficers, attempting to get away. His
body was crusted with the accum-
ulation of filth of two years. At
a hospital the child did not re-
spond to flashes of light, indicat-
ing mental darkness. His head
and body are well formed, however,
and his facial expression does not
indicate imbecility.
That the boy was born healthy
of mind and body but degenerated
through his hideous treatment was
indicated by his rapid response to
normal conditions. The twitching
of the body was reduced after the
crust of dirt had been removed in
hot water and soap suds. In few
hours the nurses taught the child
to stand on his feet, instead of
crawling on all tours. He cannot,
however, utter a word.
Nelson, the father, offered no ex-
cuse for his brutality. He and his
wife were arrested.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-That a

generate to the level of a beast
under inhuman treatment is proven
in the case of a year old Brook

by the police from the hands Of
parents whose savage cruelty is
perhaps without recent parallel
in civilized society.
Physicians declare that the son
Of Peter Nelson, now "a years old,
and his Polish wife, 40 years old,
was born normal. For two years
this man and woman kept their
son locked up like a dog in a corn
crib. A bowl of water was kept
in a corner of the crib and the
child drank from this like an ami
NAL. His food was thrown to him
at irregular intervals and he ate
it from a filthy floor.
His clothing consisted of an old
skirt tied about his waist and rag
he held over his head. He slept on
a pile of old rags.
For IS months this miserable lit
tie human being existed in the
dark crib. He had never learned
to walk and crawled about on his
hands and knees.
Nelson is a well to do farmer Of
the Flatbush district in Brooklyn.
His property Is worth perhaps $780,.

AMONG OURSELVES
A WORD FROM JOSH WISE.

District Attorney Jerome, of
New York, gives as a reason for
not prosecuting President Pea
body, of the Mutual Life, On a
chage of coercion, that he fears
the courts may differ with him.
On reflection this appears to be a
first class reason. Since his re-
election Mr.. Jerome has found re-
markably few persons who do not
differ with him.
"The daughters of American pork
packers are willing to pay enorm-
Gus sums for husbands" says a
French newspaper. The French
paper should understand that the
girls are simply following in their
fathers footsteps-buying hogs.
"Buston says other peoples
prosperity doesn't make him en-
vious."
There's some truth in that.
