of brilliant crystal red, while the
sights are also red, but Of darker
hue. SO transparent are the eyes that

FRIDAY, JANUARY d., 1909
IS LABOR TO BE- "PROTECTED"?

The following article from Senator
La Follettcs Magazine throws strong
light on the plea that the tariff
protects labor. 1t shows how the steel
trust works the men in it's employ and
robs the public under the sacred tariff
schedules:
If there were any thing needed to
clinch the argument for tariff com
mission Of experts, it is the controversy
between Andrew Carnegie, the bond
holder, and Judge Gary, the chairman,
of the steel corporation.
Gary gave the tariff committee care
fully prepared figures of the cost of
production of pig iron and steel in this
country and in Enrope, and Carnegie
laughed his figures to scorn.
What we want is to take Gary at his
word and open up his books to experts
so that congress and tho people can de-
eide between Gary and Carnegie.
Gary pictures the steel corporation as
u big, fond brother, throwing it's loving
arms about its weak competitors who
tariff. Neither Gary nor Clruegie calls
attention to the conditions of labor in
their powerful combination, for whose
protection against the pauper labor of
Europe the tariff is supported First
under Carnegie and afterwards under
Gary, trade uniOniSm was smashed, and
then the hours were lengthened. Sun
day work WAS extended, and speeding
up to the limit of cxertion was reduced
to IL system, until men are working
twelve hours IL day, seven days u week,
and twentyfour hours at stretch every
other Sunday.
If this is the necessary fruit of pro
lection, it might be better to admit free
of duty the pig iron of England whose
"pauper" labor only works eight hours
a day. If the steel corporation worked
its thousands of empl Eyes under the
humane conditions Of it's British com
pctitors, it might possibly need Il tariff
to protect it against the increased
cost. IT,
A tariff commission would enlighten
us on this important side of the uucs-
ton and might suggest some way by
which ''prOtection to American labor"
would cease to be mocltery in the
steel business, and the blessings of the
tariff would be passed along from Carne-
gle and Gary to their dear working
men.

PROMISING OUTLOOK IN
IRON AND STEEL TRADE

NEW YORK, June 6.-The move
ment in finished steel produced since
June l would indicate that the heavy
buying in May was less speculative in
character than was supposed. Specifi-
cations have been coming to the mills
in large volume. and the resulting de-
mand for crude steel has called n
larger number of blast furnaces of the
steel corporation into commission TO
supply steel-malling iron.
The American Steel and Wire com
pany shipped 100000 tons of wire pro
ducts last month, breaking all such
records.
There is still large volume OF busi-
ness in sight for structural and fabri'
Gated steel, but many orders now com.
ing out are for small lots. The person
al business pending includes $4,000 tons
for the City hospital at San Francisco
and 1000 tons for the Denver Gas and
Electric company.
Railroads have placed orders for 100
steel cars, and the Jersey Central will
make formal awards for 1900 cars by
the middle Of the month.
Foundries have bought less pig iron
since the May holidays, and there have
been few sales of basic, but there are
two important inquiries from eastern
steel works for pig iron, as scrap is
scarce and high.
