PROFITS OF PROSPERITY.

Within comparatively short time many OF the
big railroads and number OF the largest manu-
featuring corporations in the country have made
an advance in the wages OF their empolyes. This
increase in the earning power OF wageworkers
means a marked addition TO the weekly distribu-
ton of money, and it means also an important
addition to the volume of business OF local mer-
chants.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company was the
first to grant its 10000 employees higher wages,
and that advance means an annual additional out
lay OF Sr2ooo,ooo. Now the Standard Oil COM
pany and its subsidiary concerns, with working
force of 10000 men, has granted an advance.
Amalgamated Copper, which has $1,000 men
on its payroll has made an offer Of ten per cent
advance, and the United States Steel company,
which employees $4,000 men, is reported to be con-
tempating similar raise, though it made
tcrial increase in wages eighteen months ago
In addition to these the New York Central the
Philadelphia and Reading, the Lackawanna and
several other eastern roads considering gen
era advance OF wages, while many of the roads
eentering in Chicago preparing to equalize
the pay in their different departments by raising
the wages OF those most poorly paid.
The curious thing about the whole matter is
poratons have made this increase in the wages of
their workmen evidence that they are faith
fully supporting the president.
Are they doing matter OF fact?
Hardly, in view OF two important facts. One
is that the business OF the country is widely and
forcefully prosperous. The other is that the cost
of living has greatly increased and wherever the
profits of business warranted it wages should be
advanced. Therefore the advance in wages has
been compelled by the force OF economic con-
dition from which there can be no escape, and not
because the trusts and other big corporations, who
have previously been hostile to his policies, desire
to give the president special endorsement
Mr.. Roosevelt will still have the opposition of
the trusts. He will still have to encounter their
antagonism in congress Their advance in wages
is clearly not because of their love for him. but
because they were compelled to recognize
dition--the condition that the labor of the country
is receiving too little from it's toll, while the trusts
are getting an extravagant profit.
Really the action of the big corporations is
confession that heretofore they have been unjust
to their workmen and have taken from them that
part of the profits of prosperity that their due

Donald, living at 939 South Olive street,
was taken to the receiving hospital in
a critical condition last night and after
an examination by Police Surgeons
Quint and Bonynge arrangements were
made to take the injured man to the
California hospital.
William Martin, the motorman, said
the man walked in front of his car
at Seventh and Hill streets about $50
o'clock.
Although Mcdonald was at first
thought to have a fractured skull, later
examination by the surgeons showed
that it was merely conclusion and
it was said that the patient might re-
cover.
According to what could be learned
from the crew, Mcdonald was struck
while crossing the Hill street interur-
ban line a few feet south of Seventh
street. Martin says that his car was
running at a low speed at the time.
Conductor T. r. Rankin confirms the
statement.
Martin says that the injured man
was walking along the street at a
fast gait and jumped Immediately in
that he applied the airbrake immedi-
ately after he saw the man.
The passengers were transferred to
another car and the unconscious man
was removed to the receiving hospital.
Later in the evening j. A. McDon-
aid, in charge of a grading camp at
Pasadena, came to the receiving hos
pltal and identified the injured man.
He said that his brother had left him
near the Gray Gables on West Seventh
street and started to walk towards
Hill street. That was the last he saw
of him until he found him lying on
cot in the hospital
Mcdonald is about 40 years old and
was a bookkeeper for his brother He
had come into the city from the grad
ing camp and carried a lantern at the
time of the accident.
His wife was notified of the accident
and in company with j. A Mcdonald
made arrangements to have her hus-
band removed to the California hos
pital.

OFFICER SAVES WOMAN'S LIFE
Miss Josephine Nelson Rescued From
Watery Grave by PATROL
man Harlan

Miss Josephine Nelson of 900 South
Hill street was only prevented from
drowning in a ditch at Ninth and Hill
streets about 1880 Sunday evening by
the heroic work of Patrolman Harlan.
The woman stepped from an incom-
ing Santa Monica car into the ditch,
which was filed with water. The con-
ductor of the car did not see the wo-
man fall, but fortunately Harlan did,
Without a moments hesitation he
plunged into the water and with some
difficulty dragged the half conscious
woman from her perilous position.
Near the car tracks and paralleling
them for some distance is a deep trench
that the Edison Electric company is
digging for conduits. The rain had
filled the ditch with water and at the
particular point where the accident oc-
Cured it was about four feet deep.
Miss Nelson, who lived nearby, was
taken to her home.
