Fleets of Steel.

Steel barges in regular freight
service on the Mississippi river would
be found profitable OF themselves
and would also be a factor in con-
trolling railway rates. The New Or
leans Picayune, not unreasonably,
looks forward to a great revival of
river traffic when the fatboats that
now carry coal from Pittsburg to
New Orleans and are then broken
up and sold for lumber or fuel shall
be replaced by steel barges. Such
barges. laden with coal, iron, steel,
oil, grain, or other heavy and
bulky freights for the downward
trip would be available for lighter
north bound cargoes towed back and
forth by powerful steam tugs, at
rates of carriage with which the
railroads would find it impossible to
successfully compete.
This is the true function of the
Mississippi river. The Picayune de-
clares It has positive assurances
that the Carnegie Steel company has
already constructed a feet of steel
barges for its own uses on the west
ern rivers and chiefly for transport
ing the company's heavy products
for distribution from New orleans to
California and other Pacific ports
and to the various American coun-
tries to the south OF US"
There is no doubt that regular
barge traffic on the Ohio, Missouri
and Mississippi rivers for the greater
part of the year is quite feasible. 1t

How the Shop Girl Works.

In the December number of the
Union Labor Advocate in "Impres-
sions of the garment workers strike"
the writer, Caroline L. Hunt, speaks
of being at a breakfast given in Chica-
go by the woman's trade union league
and sitting by the side of a Russian
Jewish girl noticed her white drawn
face before the girl arose 10 tell Of her
work. She said, -Four or five years
ago when l was strong l could earn
s13 a week by working all the time,
always so fast as a devil. like a
machine. Now the work is divided in
SO small particles that a pair of pants
goes through 81 hands. The particles
into which 1t is divided is so small
that you could not write them out
One girl is sewing all the time on
watch pockets another on the large
pockets. and so on-on all those lit
tie articles. BY working all the time
now l can make only $40 a week"
II appears that for two or three
years this girl has worked for 16
hours a day-that was when she earn
ed s13 a week Much of her work
was done by electric light. and. as she
put 1t, Myself, have spoiled my eyes.
and now wear glasses all the time"
Evidently the girl was practically
worked out. What was there before
here? Can anyone feel surprised that
from such groups of girls there
develop desperate characters Flesh
and blood cannot bear such slave-driv-
ing Is II any wonder that they
strike? There is nothing left for
them to do
