The census of 1900 showed but little
over three hundred divisions of labor,
having been compiled without the deli
cate distinction now being made. Under
this new system of tabulation many or
the heads of classification will include but
a few individuals and some but a single
person. II will bring to light not few
queer ways of earning ones livelihood
now existing And many OF them will
be found so unusual as TO stand in
class by themselves
II seems a safe prediction, for example,
to state that there will be found but one
man in the entire country making a liv-
ing from bottling the smoke Of burning
hickory wood. This man. who lives in
Kansas City, contends that his bottled
smoke. let loose in an air-tight compart-

produce the same effect upon the meat as
though cured by hickory smoke in the

The compilation OF such volume is an
enormous and tedious task. The wCrk is
being done under the direction of William

for many years, having been in charge of
similar work during the tabulation Of four
census returns. The more commonplace
occupations. including one-half OF the to-

facts concerning population.

erS who, about five years ago, were dash
ed to their death when the huge Canadian
bridge gave way and sent them writing
into the st. Lawrence river
Authorities say that there is hardly
record Of the completion of any large
steel structure that does not show the
death of one or more men. The Singer
and Metropolitan buildings In New York,
the Flatiron, the Times. Postal Telegraph.
Park Row. and. In fact. practically all Of
the skyscrapers of the metropolis, have
added their victims to the toll of death.
Williamsburg bridge sent several men To
eternity before 1t was completed, and the
steel workers who built the supports for
the various subways and tunnels of New
York lost several of their number.
Washington has had q number Of fatali-
ties In the ranks of it's real "men higher
up But the recent death Of steel man
on the Raleigh annex was the only one
that has occurred on that building. Ac-
cidents are numerous. however, and I'm
juries. such as smashing a hand. break
ing an ARM bruising a head-these are 50
common that little or no attention Is paid
to them.
Miraculous escapes are OF daily occur
rence-too frequent to attract more than
passing comment. While Star repre-
sentative was picking his way among the
steer frame WOTh attcIupI 10 IOuOW
the fieet-footed and fearless foreman, who
was acting as guide. an immense beam
swung around too quick for the men to
catch It. BY only q foot il missed knock
ing half a dozen of them down several
stories to the street below. But, to judge
by their actions. they did not know that
danger was within hundred miles.
There was no warning Cry. no admonition
to be careful. Such would have been
superfiuous. and supernuities are things
that the steel workers have no time In
which to indulge.
Within ten minutes after this narrow
escape from death the foreman called to
man. He took a running start and
cleared a six-foot hole, the bottom OF
which was down seven stories. When he
landed his foothoid was six-inch beam
and on the other side was another yawn-
ing hole to fall into which meant death.
Then he trotted alorg the beam until he
reached the foreman. and this risk OF Life
and limb was taken for the simple pur-
pose of showing the reporter the exact
spot from which the victim Of the recent
tragedy fell.

Steel Workers and Their Peri1s.

numbed by cold. That makes no differ
ence. The great building must go up
and up. the work must be finished and
the steel worker must go on with his
task.
"Do any Of the men ever fall great
distances and live to tell the tale? DO
they return to their work, or are they
thereafter too nervous to take up their
trade again.
YES" replied the foreman of the steel
gang. II know of steel workers who
have fallen sixty and seventy feet and
lived. have never known one of them
to become hacked AS soon as they re-
cover they return to their work. There
is a fascination about its dangers that
they can't resist. When they go to work
they have much the same spirit as SOL
diers going into battle. They know that
any minute may be their last, but they
don't think Of that. They are too busy"
actly expressed the spirit OF the steel
workers. They are too busy to pay at
tention to the fact that Death is their
ever-present companion. From the man
rivets as they are thrown to him from
the forge to the man dangling from the
end of the last upright beam that has
been put in place. these steel workers are
all too busy to pay attention to their con-
another companion to whom they do pay
constant attention. That companion Is
Progress. And Progress Is even moro
ever-present than Death. 1t is the spirit
of Progress that impels them to the
deeds of daring they are performing every
minute they are engaged in erecting the
great steel frame.
Recently the tiagpole of the old Raleigh
Hotel was attached to the topmost girder
Ane
broken therefrom. Within It's coiled
folds were numbers OF smaller flags,
which, blown by a stiff breeze. were scat
tered over the city, and some Of them
witnessed the feat Of the steel workers
as they secured the flagpole did not know
that on three occasions those engaged in
the work were near being hurled down
to the pavement, 100 feet below. The
miniature gale that swept the streets of
Washington was a veritable maelstrom OF
wind up where the industrial soldiers OF
the air were working. In its strength
they were as reeds Yet tenaciously they
chung to their frail footholds and finally
finished the task set for them.
-
Things that the ordinary citizen would
think about long and hard before at
tempting these steel workers accomplish
without thought. Yet they are not
foolhardy. they are not reckless. they are
not careless Of their lives. There Is an
indescribable something about them that
acts as protection and keeps them from
being dashed to death in greater numbers
than the reaper claims each year.
But every man OF them feels with the
poor victim of the last accident. who said,
as he started work in the morning:
Well. it's a pretty day. l hope I'll
live to see another one"
