LOVE LETTERS SUCCESSOR.
The Telephone Operator Thinks That
the Phone Calls the Thing. +,

1T just fairly surprises me lately,
the number of men that call up their
s~weethearts and wives on the long
distance 'phone," said the telephone
operator at one Of the local hotels,
''The girl that gets a love letter from
a fellow these days has to live so far
away from him that it'll take too much
out of his weeks pay to call her up.
Honest, it seems to me all l do here
some evenings is to call up girls for
fellows. Then there are a good many
men that call their wives. One man
told me that he hasn't written to his
wife more than a dozen times In the
last year and he's been away from
home most Of the time. / guess he
calls her up every night when he
amt too far from home, or three or
four times a week anyhow. He seemed
like such a nice gentleman.
Il don't believe men write many
love letters to girls any more. It'd
seem foolish to write a letter to a girl

In the huge, smoky workshop called
Pittsburg. one human life Is sacrificed
for every $4,000 tons Of coal that are
shipped out of the city. For each
1900 tons Of steel products one Of the
manipulators, somewhere in the pro-
cess of manufacture, lays down his
life; and for each 10000 tons of steel
rails another laborer makes the last
sacrifice.
OF the 1850 deaths reported in
Pittsburg in 1906, 919 were due to &C.
cidents in mills, mines and on rail-
roads. The number of accidents was
not computed. but it was undoubtedly
in the thousands.
Causes of Fatalities. >
How does it all happen, you ask? If
a huge ladle of white hot steel is up
set, the molten stream burns alive its
writhing victim. 1t may be that a
man or woman is whirled to a horrible
death i'll mill machinery; or a miner
is blown to eternity in an explosion
of damp in a mine.
Publicity is given to accidents on
railroads, but little is heard of the
thousands annually killed and manned
in manufacturing and building and in
some of the more obscure trades. 1t
has been shown that 425,000 are an
nually disabled in factories and con
struction work. But we have no
means of knowing how many are in
dustrially displaced by inhaling the
poisonous fumes in working over bat
%teries, Or the large numbers that are
afflicted with mercurial poisoning and
other ailments in the hat industry
and allied trades. Neither do we
know how many succumb to painters
collie, or blood poison by working with
brass and copper.
The victims of tuberculosis among
sweatshop workers, grain trimmers,
longshoremen, coal hands and, others
are shown to be numerous by the
board of health reports, but the exact
numbers have never been gathered

Tributary Evils.
This loss of life and limb in times

even more serious by the fact that

for existence.
When a man loses a limb or the use
of it, is rendered partially blind by
an accident, or in countless ways is
incapacitated for his regular work, the

New York.-More than 500, 900 men
and women are injured or killed in
the industries annually in the United
States, or n person every minute.
This industrial carnage costs the
people of the country, directly and in.
directly, over two and a half billions
of dollars-a sum larger than the
national debt.
Such are the death tolls Of indus
trial progress, which shows such a
smiling face to those whose occupa.
lions involve no danger, but turns a
CHASTITY countenance on those who
work in peril Of their lives.
Whoever doubts these figures need
only read the grim statistics to be
convinced that modern industry IL

of 333,7S6 men were killed and wound

their places at a higher rate Of wages
though at less than current standards.
This would do much to remove the
stigma of a present national disgrace
by which 1.267,S24 boys and girls be-
tween the age OF IA and 16 years are
allowed to dwarf their young lives in
our shops, factories and mills. The
handicapped man would supplant chill
dren only where a distinct economic
and educational advantage is to be
gained. He is fully competent to COM
pete with the able bodied for many
positions. 1t is not favoritism that he
needs or asks; only an opportunity to
demonstrate his fitness. The trouble
is, he is rarely given that opportunity.
Great Need Of the Day.
A crying need of the day is an
awakening of the national conscience
regarding the needless loss of human
life and the resulting economic waste.
In our reckless haste to make money
we forget that in so doing, the I'M
natural wear and tear of industry, and
the fierce struggle for existence are
producing an increasing host OF de-
pendent citizens, who have been worn
out as a part of a machine and are
then thrown on the industrial scrap
heap.
The hours of labor are being slight
ly reduced and wages slightly in
creased, but the wear and tear on
man and machine has been nearly
doubled.
Many men, each one a unit of labor,
valuable to the employer and to So
ciety, drop out crippled by accident or
with their health undermined. Unless
the employees are speedily able to re-
adjust themselves in gainful occupa-
tons, they become public charges.
Each man added to the list of the
states dependents makes an added
burden of taxes on the wealth produc-
ing citizens.
The employer, who is the exponent
of the industrial system is account
able for this waste of productive pow
| err, though not the originator of it, is
himself one of the first victims to feel
the extra burden of taxation. Doubt
less he is also appealed to, and sub
scribes literally for private charitable
schemes, which are themselves large
ly necessary evils. Hence the waste
full system Of industry, in which the
waste of labor is lost sight of in the
mad attempt to save cost of produc-
ton, reacts on itself; and the hard
pressed employer becomes a victim to
the very system that is slowly but GER
tainly adding to the cost of main

Centuries ParaIleIed.
In former times vassals, serfs and
slaves gave up their lives blindly to
their feudal chiefs; fighting their bat
ties, tilling their soil, selling their own
birth rights for a pot of miserable
porridge.
AS the fourteenth century vassal
sold his service and life for food and
shelter so the twentieth century ar
tisan sells his labor and life for money
with which to buy the necessaries of
life. If his wages are greater than his
living expenses and he is fortunate
enough to escape bodily harm, he may,
under extremely favorable conditions,
be able to provide for an independent
old age. But If shifting economic con
ditions condemn him to only a pre-.
carious living and If he Is disabled by
the machinery of industry, only one
fate can be his-the acceptance of
aims sooner or later from friends or
the state. He has not shed his blood
as the vassals of old In the service OF
a master. He has sacrificed himself
on the altar of industrial progress
whose masters are practically uncon,
cerned for his future.-From the N. Y
