I 1911. The regular assistants during
the same period received in salaries
$2,S45,OS5.
Since the willy Wickersham became
the chief "trust-buster" this gentle art
became a business proposition as well
as political vote-getter. For instance
theer is Frank B. Kellogg, the legal
luminary that busted" the Standard
Oil trust, and who is also an attorney
for the Steel Trust.
From September 80, 1907 to, Febru-
AIRY 2, 1911 Kellogg received $4,000 for
his busting job. Another special
counsel, ]. B. Reynolds, received $64,-
900 for busting" the Tobacco trust
These specials" and many others also
turned in expense accounts which
have broke nall records.
Mr.. Reynolds. for instance, got $40 a
day for Subsistence" after railroad
and Pullman fare had been paid fol-
separately. NONE Of these legal gen
| tleinen turned in itemized expense
accounts as the law requires.
These specials" were formerly reg
ular employees of the department al
yearly salaries. AS soon as trust
busting job would come along, reg
ular would resign and the obligine
Wickersham would then appoint hin
as special. Needless to say, the
special fees were much larger thar
the yearly salaries.
The other day George W. Perkins
head of the finance committee of the
Steel Trust, called on Wickersham
Both have declined to discuss the pur
pose of the financier's visit. Butt it Is
thought that they discussed the ex
pected trust-busting suit against the
Steel Trust.
Some people here are Of the opin
ion that Perkins suggested the name
Of a good special to do the JOB. KEEL
logg, Of course, has become disquali
fed since it became known that he Ii

for his patriotic proclivities.

it Is also very amusing. Think Of get

BELLAIRE.

The principal topic of commenNin
this city is the strike of the girl cIerkM
at the F. w. Woolworth 5 and. 10 cent
store. People realize that things must
be in a bad way for the girls when
they resort to going on strike, the first
time in the history of the city that
girl clerks have struck.
The Woolworth people have pub,
lished a letter which pretends to set
forth their side of the case, but is so
full of misstatement that it is worth
less. 1t claims that the Clerks are
striking for closed shop, and that
the management refuses to compel
it's clerks to join the Methodists or the.
Catholics" and it claims that the store
pays union wages and works union
hours. AS a matter of fact, the clerks
are not asking that the. management
compel anybody to join anything, but
the isnincerity of the management
pretense that it does not join any as
ISOLATION is shown by the fact that the
manager of the store is prominent
member of the Bellaire Business
Mems Association. AS to the union
wages, it is stated that the manager
wrote to one of his clerks whe is now
off on vacation, telling her if she
would return to work right now, he
would raise her wages to S. a week.
She has been working for the store
for five years. AS to working union
hours, it is contended that the man
agement has compelled the young
girl clerks to return on holidays, and
though the store was closed, they
were forced to work half day behind
the closed doors, at various duties.
The people Of Bellaire are showing
that they do not care to have this
foreign corporation, which takes
money out of Bellaire, lower the stan
dard of living conditions of the girls
of Bellaire.

There are, unfortunately, many Labor officials who

that there is increasing number OF men IN the

it come from the ambuscade of the

GETS BIG CORN YIELD.

T. p. White, of Fairfield county,
Ohio, a graduate of the College of
Agriculture, Ohio State University,
raised III bushels and Sc pounds of
corn on an acre of ground this past
season in competition for prize for
the largest yield produced regardless
of expense. The land was well
drained and fertilized. A home
mixed fertilizer was used, composed
of 400 lbs. of acid phosphate, $50
lbs. muriate of potash and $50 lbs.
nitrate of soda. This was applied
with manure spreader set for %
loads to the acre. The corn, Imp
Leaning, 100-day variety, was
planted May 16, with a check-row
planter, in hills 8 feet and inches
each way. This field was cultivated
five times with a two horse cultiva-
tor and last time with two shovel
plow and single horse. The only
extra expense for labor was one days
work pulling weeds. While the fer
tilization was much heavier than
could be ordinarily recommended, it
is interesting in that it shows the
possibilities.
