LABOR UNIONS ASK CASH
FOR STEEL TRUST WAR

Washington, Jan. s. Officers Of the
American Federation of Labor have is
sued Il call on its l.540000 members to
subscribe to a fund with which to wage
a fight on the steel trust The call
arraigns the corporation as inimical.
both to labor and the country. and as
a vloiator OF the laws. The sum OF
$l54000 is to be raised AT once.
The steel corporation is termed a
bold and daring violator of the laws
Further calls for more money will be
issued as the fight progresses
The action was taken as the result
OF the conference held in Pittsburg on
December l3 and IA between the ANAL
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers, the Tin Plate Workers Pro-
tectivc association and the Longshore-
men and Seamen's union. samuel

chine but It turns out perfect mat
rix ready for being stereotyped. The
typist has at his disposal all kinds
OF type on type wheels which are fixed
at the end of type levers. The num-
Der OF types depends ON the size of
36 different sorts of type, from the
smallest to the largest size, (Which
now require Sc boXes), has diameter
of 20 centimetres. On each side of the
surface OF the type wheels is fixed a
cogwheel in connection with another
cogwheel. which works an arrange
ment by which al! the type wheels are
simultaneously set on the type de-
sired. There are separate type levers
for small and capital letters; also for
the most frequent syllables, such as
IN, un. up, for etc. This saves the
typfst much labor, enabling him TO
write 20 or so words minute so that
the reporters dictation gets into the
matriN almost with the speed of short
hand writing. There is an arrangement
Tor symmetrically stamping type into
the matriS, only so much OF the latter
being balanced as the depth OF the
type requires. BY another arrange
ment the equalization of the lines at
their ends is effected. Alterations of
passages in the text are easily made
by cutting them out of the matriX. and
putting in fresh matter. As to illus
trations, cliches (stereotyped plates)
OF any size or shape are stamped on
the matrix before the rypist begins his
work. He can then type the text all
around the cliche if necessary"
OF course, this is not the first time
that matrix machine has been i'm
vented. The idea of the linotype ma
chine began in that way, but owing to
the difficulties Of printing, metal
matriN was suggested and this led to
success each line however, being sep
arate, as the name implies. Whether
the Vienna inventor has overcome the
practical difficulties of printing from
a continuous matriZ remains to be
seen.

SLED MAKERS ON A
WAVE OF PROSPERITY
Early and Heavy Snow Makes
Demand for Vehicles and
Factories Are Hard Put.
From The Sioux CITY Tribune


Bob slcds and sleighs OF all descrip-
in the history of the northwest has
there been such scarcity of these
articles, either for pleasure or bust
ness, and the fortunate owner OF one
is considered very fortunate.
In the carriage and wagon shops such
articles are not to be had at any price
Dealers in this section are unable to
secure them from the factories and
the factories find themselves caught in
an unexpected situation. Not antici-
pAting such an early winter, so much
snow or general demand for such We
licles. they had allowed their stocks
to run down and are now in a posi-
tion where they are unable to meet
the demand.
Demand Usually Light.
Charles A. Davis, president of Davis
~ Co.. stated today that ii is inn
possible To meet the demand as neither
sleighs or bob s)eds are to be had. 1T
has been several years since winter
started in so early I'm this section"
said MIR. Davis. This is the first time
within four or five years that snow has
fallen so early with the prospect of
1t staying on the ground all winter.
OF course where the Indications have
been for a short winter period the de-
mana Tor SlelShS and SledS was light,
but this year II looks as though the
farmers will have use for sleds for
several months and those who enjoy
sleighing will have an opportunity to
indulge in the sport for much longer
period than usual.
Made but Few.
For several years the manufacturers
have not been building sleighs or sleds.
selling of the stock they had on hand.
This year when the snow fell early,
followed by spell of weather that
indicates it will remain on the ground
for the rest OF the winter season. there
was an immediate demand for sleighs
and when the jobbers put in their or
dcrs, after selling off the few on hand,
the manufacturers Informed them that
the orders could not be filled The
manufacturers are of course getting
out what they can. but being unpre-
pared for the sudden demand they are
at disadvantage and the supply is
