AN EARTHQUAKE
WRECKS ITALY
Terrific Temblor, Followed by Tidal Wav
Practically Destroys the City Of Messina--
Other Towns Damaged---Communica
Cut off and the Death List is Unknown

in the. city from Honolulu yesterday
on the steamer Nippon Maru. Two
grandchildren, Mrs. Harry Holbrook
and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, were
also present at the bedside. Three
other children of the aged financier,
c. Augustus Spreckels, Adolph
Spreckels and Mrs. Emma Watson
were absent.
Claus Spreckels, who was known
as the sugar king of the Pacific coast
and Hawaiian islands, was born at
Lamstadt, Germany, in 1928. He
came to the United States as an emf
grant in 1846, and ten years later
came to San Francisco, where he ac-
cumulated an immense fortune. He
first established store and later on
engaged in the brewing business.
In 1868 Mr. Spreckels built the
Bay sugar refinery and began the
importation of sugar on large scale
from Hawaii. Later he established
several other sugar refneries and
was an important factor in promot-
ing the beet sugar industry on the
Pacific coast. He invested largely in
the Oceanic Steamship company and
became heavily interested in numer-
GUS other business enterprises, in
Guiding the building of the San Joa-
quin Valley railroad His son, Ru-
dolph, while on his recent trip to
Honolulu, disposed of several of his
fathers interests in the islands.

ing everything they could lay their
hands on, even robbing the injured
as they lay helpless, and the dead.
Stores were broken into and great
disorder, even terrorism, prevailed
for a time.
Professor Jicco, director of the
Mount Aetna observatory, says the
center of the earthquake is near the
volcano.
Santa Maria college, at Ali, be-
tween Messina and Catania, was
overthrown and several girl students
buried in the ruins. The steamer
Piemente, according to word receiv-
ed, has arrived at Milazzo, with 800
women and children and, fifty men
injured at Messina.

STOCK MARKET
GETS STRONGER
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The not
able strength and breadth of the
stock market today seemed based on
fresh realization of favorable factors
in the general situation rather than
on any new developments. The
speculative spirit was discernible in
the bond market as well as in stocks.
The assignment of H. w. Poor and
company. announced during the holi-
day interval, was totally ignored.
Bonds were strong.

CARNEGIE WRITES ON
THE FUTURE OF LABOR
Says Cooperative and Profit
Sharing Plans will Eventually
Solve Conflict Between
Labor and Capital.

This is due to the workingman who
necessarily buys the shares without
knowledge, and is asked to buy
them, not solely for his own advant-
age, but for the benefit of the COM
pany as well-the advantage of
BOTH
The writer points out that "just
as the mechanical world has changed
and improved, so the world of labor
has advanced from the slavery of
the 1aborer to the day of his abso-
lutte independence and now to this
day, when he begins to take his
proper place as the capitalist-part
ner of his employer. We may look
forward with hope to the day when
it shall be the rule for the workmen
to be partner with capital, the man
of affairs giving his business exper-
ience, the workingman in the mill
both owners of the shares and so far
equally interested IN the success of
their joint efforts, each indispens-
able, so that without their co-opera-
ton success would be impossible. -
Replying to the possible charge of
being over-sanguine, Mr.. Carnegie
declares himself convinced that "the
huge combination, and even the
moderate corporation, has no chance
in competition with the partnership,
which embraces the principal officials
and has adopted the system of pay
ment by bonus or reward throughout
it's work. The latter may be relied
upon, as rule, to earn handsome
| dividends in times of depression,
during which the former, conducted
| upon the old plan, will incur actual
loss, and perhaps land in financial
| embarrassment.
BY way of illustration, he cites the
case of the Filene stores, of Boston,
which he says "has gone farthest OF
all in the direction of making its
employers shareholders" The es-
tablishment, he says, employs seven
to nine hundred men, the capital
stock is held only by employees. and
is returned to the corporation at its
value, should the employe leave the
service Every share of stock be-
longs to some one working in the
stores. "The most Importance .>ad-
vance," says Mr.. Carnegie, lis thai
all questions abe submitted to arbi'
tration, not only complaints or dis
putes, but wages, scope of work, and
tenure of employment. More thar
400 cases of arbitration have arisen
and the result is that both managers
and employees have been satisfied
that this is the true plan. When ar
employe has been discharged he has
the right to appeal to an arbitration
board composed of fellow employees

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28--Claus
Spreckels died of pneumonia at his
home in this city Saturday. Mr..
Spreckels recently returned here
from New York, and soon after his
arrival contracted a slight cold
which developed into pneumonia last
Tuesday. Last night the condition of
the aged millionaire became alarm

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-"In the
future, labor is to rise still higher.
The joint stock form opens the door
to the participation of labor as share
holder in every branch of business.
In this, the writer believes, lies the
final and enduring solution of the la
Dor question. Nothing can stand
against the direct management of
owners. We are only pioneers whose
duty it is to start the movement,
leaving to our successors it's full and
free development as human society
advances"
These are striking statements
found in an article by Andrew Car
negie in the Forthcoming January
number of The Worlds Work made
public today. An editorial note
states that the article is taken from
Mr.. Carnegie new book Problem of
Today" and that it is published in
the magazine because of the re-
markable-it might be called even
sensational-foreca that he makes
of the continued improvement in the
bsition of labor till profit-sharing
does it's perfect work and the laborer
and the capitalist become the same
man."
Mr.. Carnegie tells of the begin
nings made by the Carnegie Steel
company many years ago by making
from time to time forty odd young
partners, who paid for their interest
in the business by their notes, pay
able only out of the profits of the
business. Great care, Mr.. Carnegie
says, was taken to admit workers ol
the mechanical department which
had hitherto been neglected by EN-.
ployers. Speaking further on of the
combination of many steel works
into the one United States Steel cor.
poration he says that the problem
presented was not altogether new
''for individual and corporate man
agement have co-existed since joint
stock companies were formed. The
former had undoubtedly great ad
vantages over the latter. Able mer

petition with large bodies of share

Going on to speak of the expert
ment of the United States Steel cor

negie says that "every corporation

RED CROSS AT WORK.

ROME, Dec. 28.-Members of the
Red Cross were dispatched to various
places and camps with provisions i'm
mediately prepared, all available
railway lines and warships being
used for their transport. The city of
Messina suffered more than any other
place, and latest direct information
states two-thirds of the town was
destroyed and several thousand kill
ed.
Five steamers left Catania for
Messina and assisted in removing the
injured from that place. At Catania
the panic-stricken people, fearing
new schocks, refused to enter their
houses, and are camping in the
squares.
MESSINA HARD HIT.
The tidal wave sunk 500 boats and
there was great damage to several
large vessels. Mot only did Catania
suffer from the tidal wave but sim
liar body of water inundated the
streets of Messina, covering them
with mud, which rendered more diff
ficult. succoring the wounded, many
of whom could be seen under the
wreckage. 1t is reported the villages
of Faro and Ganzirri, adjoining Mes
sina, have disappeared.
The effects of the earthquake were
aggravated through an explosion OF
gas. Flames swept along several OF
the streets, adding terror upon ter
ror.
The town of Stefanaconi, contain
ing about $4,000 inhabitants, was
virtually destroyed. Only five were
killed, but many injured.
THOUSANDS HOMELESS.
Thousands of persons have aban
doned their homes, although ter
rife rainstorm prevailed. In some
places people entered the churches
while the latter were falling, ant
carried out the saints. They bore

THE POPE DISTRESSED.
ROME, Dec. 2S.-The pope was
greatly distressed at hearing of the
scourge that had afflicted the loyal
population in the south. He could
hardly credit the truth of dispatches
describing the devastation and fatal
tiles, ten times greater than in 1905
After kneeling fervently in prayer,
the pope arose and said, as he said
three years ago, that he felt this
place was amidst his suffering child
ren. His physician and those in at
tendance upon him insisted it would
be impossible for him to undertake
such a journey in the present state of
his health.
At midnight a regiment Of SOL
