PITTSBURG. Pa. February 6-With
nearly 5000 men applying at the. city
hall for work and families being provided
for by the city charities department at
the rate of 100 "a day. Father Pitt has
been brought suddenly to a realization of
the desperate condition of the poor here.
Estimates place the number of persons
who are in want at $4,000. Only 5000 Of
these can he given employment imme-
diately by the city.
Every charitable organization in the city
is showed under by the storm of applica
tions for bread. clothing, fuel and shelter.
Every time private concern offers
single job hundreds of men,. representing
all walks of life and every degree of edu-
cation, are on hand almost instantly and
fighting among each other to secure the
place.
Not until yesterday when an array Of
men actually stormed city hall in search
of work was the true situation fully made
known. Still greater crowds are looked
for today. and in order to handle the
throng four extra clerks have been en-
ployed.

Suffering in Baltimore.
BALTIMORE. February 6. Reports
from all over the city show that
Baltimore has begun to feel poignant
ly the result of the hard times" occa-
stoned by the laying off of so many men,
although Baltimore has probably suffered
less than any other large city.
Actual suffering is being reported In
hundreds of cases because OF the in
ability of the wage-earner in so many
families to get work Applications for
work of any hind are being received by
every agency. but there being no demand
for labor, the unemployed have no hope
for an alienation of conditions for some
time and many face great want.
1t is estimated that there are at least
LOCO ROhemians out of employment in
Northeast and East Baltimore. They are
now living off their hard-earned savings.
Many are becoming discouraged, and see
nothing ahead of them indicative of
means of making enough money to sup
port themselves and families. The Aus
TRAN immigration Home is crowded to its
ca pacity. and Rev. V. Vanek is out of the
city trying to get employment for hun

Ii is not only the Bohemians who are

RAILROAD RATES.

Higher freight rates are likely
to be fixed in the fixture, the
New York Journal of Commerc
tells us. The proposed raising
of railroad rates on July 1, has
perhaps, therefore, been post
ponded until "after election" to
help out the Republican party.
When the Railroad rate bill
was passed the Republicans
took all the glory that
was possible for that achieve
ment. President Roosevelt in
fact compromised with those
United States Senators con-
trolled by the railroads on the
vital clause of the bill, rather
the bill should be passed by
Democratic aid. That bill was
supposed by contiding public
to bring about reduced railroad
rates. Now, we hear nothing
of rate reduction, but a certain
ty in the near future of an in
crease. Such. is Republican
reform.

THE COAL TRUST.

The Coal Trust publicly in
forms US that the wage scale
will remain the same as now
until April I, 1909, and although
the cost of mining has greatly
increased, the price of coal will
be the same. There seems to
be something out of gear in
this information, for if the
labor scale is the same the
cost of mining coal can hardly
be greatly increased. Then
there is the automatic increase
in the price of coal of ten cents
a ton a month until September,
which hardly agrees with the
statement that the price will
not be added to. We wish the
God fearing Bro. Baer would
explain these paradoxes. But
one thing is certain the Re.
publican Congress has been
standing pat on the tariff to the
evident advantage Of the Coal
and other Trusts.
