These magnates plan not only
to protect members of the COM
lpany from strike losses, but to pay
an annual divident of 36 per cent
on premiums. 1t is estimated,
from government reports, that
the average strike lasts % days.
For premium of $500 the COM
pany promises financial protection
aggregating $4,000, or 800 a
day for 500 working days, in the
event that a strike lasts that long.

London, Ont, comes forward
with a ne widea. To deal in a
practical manner with the unem-
ployed problem, especially during
the winter months, the Trades and
Labor council of Londan, at al
most no cost, started a factory in
which toys, ironing boards and
hangers are manufactured. The
factory pays no dividends to share
holders, and its sponsors do not
aim at the accumulation of profits.
The unemployed men receive the
full product of their toll after the
actual running expenses are de-
Quoted. The London experiment
has attracted such general atten-
ton in Canada that it is likely
that similar institutions will be
Established by the labor people in
other places.
The railway brotherhoods are
enlarging their home for aged and
disabled members at Highland
Park, near Chicago. Heretofore
there have been so inmates in the
home, but by the expenditure of
100000 the accommodations will
be increased, so that about a hun
dred persons can be housed. The
conductors, trainmen, engineers
and firemen are interested in the
venture.

AT THE TACOMA,
EZRA KENDALL TONIGHT.

Ezra Kendall, with his high hat
and his long list of funny stories
overdrew his account at the Ia
Gonna theater last night in 1.-The
Vinegar Buyer" When he hand
ed out the same brand of humor
as he did n his last visit, 4
seemed to some that he was los
ing his old time charm. Prob
ably this is not the case. but
rather 1t was a lack of appreci-
alton of what has been seen and
heard on former visits.
Kendall was the main spring oil
the show anw his wit caused
many roars of laughter. He was
we'll supported by a good com.
pany. The inegar Buyer will be
repeated tonight.

After all the Cook and Peary

get at something like the real
thing by visiting the Grand this
week and watching the polar
bears, snowy white, docile and
clever.
Other acts on the bill bring

Weak from the loss of blood,
the patrolman succeeded in draw

for a distance of a block to a

When the guards relieved him he
dropped to the sidewalk in a
swoon. Sanders was taken to the

Just what the tinplate workers
charged last June when the Unit
led States Steel corporation in
augurated its war of extermina-
tion against their union is now
being verified. The tinplate
workers claimed that the posting
of open shop notices was merely
the forerunner of a wage reduc-
tion ranging from per cent to Is
lper cent.
For some reason or other no
publicity has been given to the
fact that in the Shenagan and
Greer mills OF the street trust at
New Castle, Pa, the strikebreakers
have just been shifted from day
work to a tonnage basis. The
change means reductions as fol-
lows: Rollers, 32 per cent; doub-
lers, 40 per cent; heaters, 46 per
cent; catchers, 20 per cent;
shearmen, 10 per cent; screw
boys. 26 per cent. Thus the cut
is much higher than the unionists
preducted.
About 800 of the strikebreakers
struck. Now the trust managers
are attempting to get the strikers
to take the places of the strike
breakers who went on strike, and
are meeting with some success, as
the original strikers are hungry
andinclined to accept the half
loaf.
Now comes a possible job trust
likewise a national blacklist.
The National Employment ex-
change capitalized at 100000,
has begun business in the east. 1t
is proposed to establish branch
agencies in all the leading indus
trial centers.
The theory upon which this
new institution operates is that of
bringing all the great corpora
lions - such as the steel COM
bine, the oil trust, the railways,
mines, etc.-into the national ex-
change, pool the jobs that are to
be given out and through a card
index system keep close watch of
undesirable" workers.
The direct saving will also be a
large item. or instance, now if a
railroad wants 1000 men the cor
lporataion pays certain amount to
employment agents to procure the
help required, and frequently
spends considerable money in ad-
lvertising. Under the new system
the applicant for work must pay
O fee for job, so that the cor
poration will be collecting instead
of spending money.
If an applicant happens to be an
"agitator" he will have sorry
time breaking into a job, and the
docile and meek will receive pref
ference.
Morgan ond Rockefeller, John
D. Achbold, Jacob Schiff. e. H.
Gary, VIM. H. Moore and other
great captains of industry are
backing the job trust.
/
The very latest wrinkle in the
struggle between labor and cap
ital for the mastery is the forma-
ton of an Employers Indemnity
Co. by some of the big interests to
insure against losses occasioned
by strikes.
The concern is incorporated in
Yves Virginia, and, of course, the
United States Steel corporation
has finger in the pie. Repre-

citation of Manufacturers and the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 15.
Declaring that war is inevitable
and urging the building of six bat
tleships annually to keep the
naval strength of the United
States at least as great as that of
Japan, Representative Richard
Pearson Hobson today made a
plea in the house for wartime
preparation.
He declared Pearl harbor to be

Japan controlling the waters
around it, and asked for an ade-
quate navy in the Pacific to
hold our territory from the ad-
vance of an incoming nation.
