DICK HANDS HOT
ONE TO BARBER
(By United Press)

CINCINNATI, Jan. 1.-The reply
Of c. c. Barber, president of the
American Match Co., to Senator
Charles Dick of Ohio who declared
in an open letter that Barber swore
away his citizenship 20 years ago
to escape paying back taxes, is
awaited with much interest here.
The senator was auditor of Summit
county then and sued Barber for
$4,000, which he alleged was
due the state. He said the head of
the so-called match trust did not
know what state he was a resident
of, for he had moved from Ohio to
Illinois and finally to New York.
The trouble started when Barber
entered the campaign against Dick
and dared him to discuss political
issues.

nation, which apparently meant elec-
ton. President Roosevelt had con-
graduated Niedringhaus by wire as
the next senator from Missouri. Kerens
went in and smashed the Niedringhaus
organization to smithereens and caused
the election Of William Warner.
Though he did not elect himself, he
defeated his enemy and performed a
political miracle.
The old warhorse knew that was his
final stand for the senatorship, for he
was sagacious enough to be aware
that future Missouri legislatures dur
ing his remaining years of vigor were
quite likely to be Democratic.
Ambassador Kerens has been ma
tional committeeman for Missouri
most of the time since he entered pol
itics in 1884. He was one Of the old
guard in the Blaine booms for the
presidency. In 1908, by the way, he
made the largest individual contribu-
ton to the national campaign fund.

ings in the interest of the strikers,
while Mrs. Belmont, who not long ago
became an ardent woman suffragist,
has raised a considerable fund for the
shirt waist girls among men and wo-
men Of wealth and has gone personally
to the night police court in the city of
New York and waited hours and hours
to go on the bonds of some Of the girls
who had been arrested, charged with
violating the law in their earnestness
as pickets.
On one occasion just before Christ
mas Mrs. Belmont remained until after
midnight In the night court waiting for
the cases Of four striking girls to be
called. She told the magistrate she
could give her house at ATT Madison

her personally, asked If she was lure
the house was worth $500, the aggre-
gate required for the bonds.

Miss Violet Pike, a graduate Of Vas

Miss Pike declared she had committed
no offense whatever, but had been mis-
taken by the police for one of the
strikers.
At conference attended by Mrs.
Belmont, Miss Morgan and other
wealthy women a call was extended for

control it, and in many instances thsy
are being enforced. It is interesting
to point out the fact that the automo-
bile might have been a thing Of use
and beauty three-quarters Of a century
before it finally came into vogue but
for the fact that it was put out of COM
mission in England by laws passed at
the instance of the stagecoach oper-
>atorss who were Jealous Of its tncreas-
ing popularity.
Why, certainly there were automo-
biles in England seventy-five years
ago. They were called steam carriages.
They were crude, but they could make
from ten to twenty-five miles an hour.
When law was passed charging q
steam carriage $12 toll on a road that
cost stagecoach only so cents to trav-
ell the same distance the few horseless
vehicle enthusiasts quit trying to de.
velop the invention.

manned throughout the day outside the
shirt waist shops, their chief duty be-
ing to see that the strikers serving as
pickets were not molested' by thugs
under employ Of the bosses or unjustly
arrested by the police. Pieketing in
connection with strikes is permitted by
law in the state Of New York. It is
unlawful to use the word "scab" in adj
dressing person, "strike breaker" be-
ing the approved form. Many Of the
girls arrested, being ignorant Of this
law, were hailed into court and fined
because they yelled "scab" at some girl
who had gone to work for one Of the
bosses.
Churches Help Strikers.
Late in December when about four
fifths of the strikers had returned to
work, most of them having been taken
back on their own terms, some Of the
churches began to take steps to aid the
girls. About 1000 still were out, most
of whom had been employed in the
larger shops, whose proprietors, being
rich, could hold out indefinitely. The

Manhattan Congregational church, in

A collection was taken up, all of which
was turned over to Miss Schneider

BY RoRERTUS LOVE.

N the history Of the world no such
scenes have been witnessed as
those which for nearly two months
past have characterized the strike
of the shirt waist makers in the city
Of New York. Nearly $4,000 girls and
women, members of the Ladies' Shirt
Waist Makers union, were engaged at
first in this greatest strike of women
workers ever known. For the first
time since industrial conditions became
such that women have been compelled
to go out from home and support them
selves and dependent relatives nearly
all the workers in a great industry in
one Of the foremost cities of the world
have engaged in struggle with their
employers, refusing to return to work
until certain demands which they con-
slider just shall be complied with by
the bosses.
Conspicuous and significant features
Of the shirt waist girls strike have
been the entrance into the struggle of
many women Of great wealth and high
social position and Of others whose
collegiate culture may be calculated by
the unthinking to lift them so far
above the plane of the working girl
that feeling of sympathy for her is
scarcely expected of them.
Yet these college bred women not
only have declared their sympathy for
the strikers, but many have gone on
active service as watchers and pickets
to aid them in inducing nonunion girls
not to take their places.
Wealthy Women Aid.
Among those of immense wealth who
have been vigorous workers for and
contributors to the cause are Miss
Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont
Morgan, and Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont
formerly the wife of William X. VAN
derbilt, and the mother Of Consuelo
duchess Of Marlborough. Miss Morgan
has given money and attended meet
