Steel Trnst Profits, Estimated at SS0,. OeS.Boo in 1907, Go to Build Fine Palaces and Chateaux in New York and Paris, While Homes of Working. men in Smoky City are Unsanitary and Overcr0Wded.
Special from United Presso


 New York, April 12.-The Pittsburs millionaire carries on his person the stamp of greed, of stupidity and of hard-heartedness according to Ida M. Tarbell, but this is due only to the tar if provisions he has enjoyed but not needed. she says. He has fought for it because he has thrived on it, insists Standard Oils historian, and claims he must have it for labor's benefit. In this months issue of the, American Magazine the noted woman sociologist will discuss Pittsburg as a tariff made city and what it has done for it's work 1ngmen. The smoky city is the great est monument to high protection in this country according to her, having reaped for fifty years as no other cen ter could, the benefits of prohibitive duties. Its industries have produced more wealth than any other section and they have produced enormous for tunes.
 Statistics show that for 12 hours a day, seven days a week the Pittsburg workmen, work, eat and sleep. And what do they earn for their toll? In the tariff protected industries, steel and iron the greatest number receive a wage so low as to be inadequate to the maintenance of a normal Ameri- can standard of living.
 "The estimated tariff profits in the steel trust alone in 1907 were s80, ,0O0,- 900. Who got the money? Go look at the steel palaces and chateaux in New York and Paris. Go ask the Pittsburg millionaires who fill the glitterfng places of pleasure in the great cities of Europe and this country and who figure in divorce and murder trials or are writing their names on foundations and bequests and institutions
 Statistics are then quoted to show that the homes of the PittSburg work CTS are unsanitary, overcrowded and of such nature as to endanger health while the echool system is such that studying in unsanitary build ings.
 Ought not the Pittsburg schools be closed and the children prepared?" is asked. Continuing she says:
 Justice takes a terrible revenge on those who thrive by privilege. She blinds their eyes so that they no long hearts until they no longer beat with She benumbs their senses until they respond only to the narrow horizon of what they can individually possess, touch, feel. She makes, as she has in Pittsburg, a generation of men and women who day by day can pass hundreds of tumbled down and woman who make for them their wealth. live and feel no shock. Little children may die or grow up stunted and evil within their sight and no pen ny of their wealth, no hour of their leisure is given them. Women may put in hours of incessant toll and be- come honored within their sight and they raise no hand.
 "Wealth, which comes by privilege, kills. The curse of Justice on those who will not recognize injustice in the sodden mind and unfeebling heart.''

 If you have not an inhaler, ask your druggist for a complete outfit, which costs but S1.00, and includes an in haler, a bottle of Hyomei, and simple instructions for use.
 Hyomei is guaranteed to cure ca tarrh, asthma or bronchitis, or money back. It will relieve a cold in five minutes and will break it up in five hours. It gives most gratifying re- lief to consumption sufferers.
