LABOR NEWS

Considered in regard to the number
of deaths for every 1000 men employed,
the United States occupies a less fav-
orable position than any other of the
coal producing countries. more than
three times as many men out of each
1000 being killed as IN some of the
European countries that are much less
favored in natural conditions. With
regard to deaths for every million tons
of coal, the United States not only oc-
cupies a position worse than that of
most European countries. but is also
showing an increase in the rate, where
as every other country is showing a
decrease.
The Australian parliament appropri-
ated $4,000 for the increase of the
teachers salaries, and the men teach
ers attempted to get the whole amount
applied to thems elves. The members
of the Woman's Progressive associa-
ton, all of them voters, did not see the
logic of such a division of the appro-
priation, and objected to II so strongly
that the men were forced to share the
money with them.
The Women's club of Magnolia, Mass,
is said to be the only one of its kind
in existence 1t has a membership of
something moro than 800 all women
employed as workers in the hotels,
boarding houses and residences of the
summer population Of that resort.
The validity of that section of the
labor law providing that no workmen
upon public work shall be permitted or
required to work more than eight hours
in one calendar day, is upheld by the
New York court of appeals The court
| in subs lance holds that a violation of
this law is justification for the with
holding of payments for such work
from contractors.

A MODERN HEROINE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1905. BY Edwin A. Nys.

When one essays to tell the story of
Mrs. Rookie. the heroine of the New
Mexico food, one feels much as the
old school poets must have felt when
in their opening stanzas they prayed
the muse to help them.
But the story deserves a wider tell
ing than has been given it.
1t is a thoroughly modern happening
"a telephone tale-and has no parallel
In literature or real life.
Mrs. Sallie Rookie was the toll opera
tor at the long distance exchange at
Folsom n NJ. the valley town that
recently was swept away by the food.
As operator she got the first tidings
of the approaching waters.
Mrs Rookie had time to escape after
warning the people of Folsom. all of
whom escaped up the hillsides. Her
frail wooden station stood directly in
the path of the food.
But
In the valley below were scores of
families-subscribers of her company.
1t was night, and men. women and
children there in the lowlands were
asleep.
Alone the brave woman sat by her
wire. calling up the hamlets and farm
houses. Scores of families fed to the
hiltops, warned by the telephone.
Mrs Rookie had called nearly all the
numbers on the switchboard when tho
menacing roar of the food was heard
above. There was yet time to get
away But the operator would not
leave her post of duty and danger un-
til the last subscriber was warned.
And then
The wall of angry waters twisted the
little telephone station into kindline
wood The next day down in the
canyon many miles away the BODY
of the little woman was found wedged
between the rocks. Somehow the wa
tiers had been kind. and the body was
not mutilated or the face marred.
And
/ Here, too, was her operators head
piece with a twisted strand of wire
pressing into her wet hair. mute wit
ness of her last kind occupation!
And these things should be told o.
her for a memorial Because
She died for strangers. doing wha
she did without applause and as though
it were her daily task to choose be
tween death and duty. Because
The story of her quiet heroism re
news ones faith in the high calling o
the race. 1t justifies the creation o
men and women. 1t reveals the near
ness of that spirit place-from whicl
the veil thinly separates-where Their
is no more struggle between love ant
duty.
