VANISHED DANGERS.

S. r. Kiser In the Record Herald.
He used to hate the idle rich
And often spoke with dread
About the fearful dangers which
Were looming up ahead;
He saw time when blood would flow,
And anarchy be rife:
But that was when his funds were low.
He had the luck year ago
To get a wealthy wife.
He used to say the millionalres
Were blinded by their greed;
He thought the world and it's affairs
Were managed wrong, indeed;
He saw the time when class and mass
Would wage a bloody strife,
When chaos would prevail. Aiasl
Since then a change has come to pass
He has wealthy wife.
He cannot understand today
Why those who toll complaint;
The ills he feared are cleared away,
No signs of strife remain.
Content to let things drift along,
He lives an easy life,
Forgetting. II sometimes the strong
Cypress the weak, that II is wrong
He has wealthy wife.

People who have read of the United
States steel corporations decision to
investigate the charges that It is over
working its employees must be struck
by two points, especially-that these
large corporations are becoming more
heedful OF public opinion and that
they are willing to listen to the grieV-
ances of labor. The Steel trust is
quite typical in both cases. This is a
mighty good sign of the times.
Certain magazine writer's recently
have made quite severe charges OF
misusing it's employees against the
Steel trust, and at a recent meeting of
its directors the charges were taken
up and seriously discussed. Finally
1t was unanimously voted to name a
committee for their investigation.
Note that these directors, sitting be-
hind closed doors and transacting the
business for a gigantic Industrial in
stitution, did not waive the charges
aside as baseless canards PANIED OF
on credulous public by a lot OF
muek-rakers. The directors admit
ted, some OF them, that they did no
know about the accuracy of these
charges, but declared they wanted tc
know, and IL they found them to be
founded, in part or in whole. they
would promptly take steps 10 remedy
the situation.
