tor the present year it is charged that

as the outlook is for $1s pig iron this

Ore prices for the ensuing year have
always been announced November LIST
No word from the ore owning concerns
has been mad, though frantic appeals
nave been made by the little fellows.
Last year the ore rate was $3.50 per
ton with SO cents freight. Today the
independent announced that they must
have 80 1-3 percent rduction or they
could not run their furnaces with pig
iron at SIS per ton. They demand So
ore.
Only four Of the 10 independent fur

not make money. Two tons Of ore and
one-tenth tons of coke costs 1920 with
s1.a5 freight required. There islime-
stone, labor, repairs and office ex-

leaves about 81 per ton profit and in

at $1S. Unless the little fellows get
better ore they declare they must close

General Greeley, of Arctic fame, adj

the niggardly policy in practice in the
matter Of pay and rations for soldiers
in these words:
There must either be an increase
Of pay of the enlisted men in the

have to resort to CONSUMPTION methods
never employed by the government
since the Civil War.
Men are not content to serve their
country when they are poorly paid as
our soldiers are, and when they cannot

plain milk for their coffee. The ra-

insufficient and the pay is pitifully

ONE OF THE GREAT NEEDS OF
- THE WORLD. So

In the fourth chapter of his book on
The Industrial Conflict" Rev. Samuel
G. Smith mas some excellent material
on matters of industry. Here is a
sample: j.
There is something pathetic in the
demand on the part Of worl<ingmen for
the human touch. They ask for the
kind heart. the neighborly recognition,
the outstretched hand. It may be
frankly said that in all large enter
prfses this is very difficult to give.
In these days OF consolidation. Of or
ganization, OF immense capital. of
huge enterprises, where thousands of
men are employed under one manage
ment,, the old relations are no longer
possible. There Is probably no class OF
men who know so little about the ac-
tual lives OF the working class as the
great EMPLOYERS Of labor. To the cap.
ltains 'o6 Industry the workingmen are
mot personnel existences at ali. Some
azreatt enterprlses have organized vari.
lous social schemes for the bettermen
lot the Employees. But as to these thu
5lfworkmen are often suspicious. I
their employers have money to spent
for them, they prefer to receive tina
extra money In the shape Of increase,
wages. There Is scarcely anythin.
that American workmen dissent from
50 much as from the various efforts t
4 treat them as q proper object Of phil
i anthropy. What they resent Is sue

ORIGIN OF PRECIOUS ORES.

From the Chicago Record-Herald:
Men sometimes dream of enormo Gus
wealth stored deep in the earth, be-
low the reach Of miners; but, accord
ing to an emin ent geologist, there is
little or no ground to believe that VAL
liable metallic deposits lie very deep
In the earths crust. Such deposits
according to this authority, are made
by underground waters, and owing to
the pressure on the rocks at great
depths the waters are confined to a.
shell near the surfacse. With few ex-
