SLAVERY WHICH DISGRacES
Conditions Of Labor in the Steel In
dustry Are Shown to Be
DeplorabIe.

Our great iron and steel industry
how proud we are OF It! How We
have coddled and protected 1t and
watched it grow! How marvelously
It has been manipulated and turned
and twisted and bought and sold and
amalgamated and incorporated and
combined and formed into giant
trusts! How firms and corporations
have been drawn into the big net. by
force or otherwise. and then capital
tied criminally far beyond their in
trinsic value, so that the stock after
wards foisted upon the public was
waterlogged to a greater degree than
the most hopeless derellct that still
succeeds in floating! What nice divi-
dends have been paid upon all this
watered stock which has been mar
keted. as upon the millions of such
stock pocketed by the barons Of the
great Industry as rewards for bring
ing about the various amalgamations!
Wonderful thing, this iron and steel
industry, giving employment to thou
sands and thousands of men, helping
to make our nation great and pros
porous and creating constantly In
creasing number of multi-millionaires
whose fortunes are the wonder of the
world! Sure, we're proud of 1t.
But, wait a minute. Secretary Ma
gel, Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. has been looking into the
matter and he has reported to the
United States senate that he had in
vestigated the labor conditions con-
nected with practically the entire in
dustry In the United States, number
ing some 344 plants What does he
find? Conditions which should shock
the conscience of every man who
boasts citizenship in this land Of the
free. The report covers 10000 men.
OF this vast army of industry one

day differing in no respect from the
other six days. Fully one-fourth OF
the 10000 men work not only seven
days but 12 hours per day. About
60C00 Of these iron and steel en-
ployes are foreigners, mostly Of the
Slavic races. Some $4,000 Of them
receive less than is cents an hour;
$4,000 receive between IS and 25
cents and about the same number
receive 25 cents or more per hour.
A Encouragement whereby these
pltiable victims of corporate greed
should work in three shifts instead of
two-eight hours per day instead OF
twelve-might increase the cost of
the product; even might reduce the
princely incomes Of handful of steel
and iron magnates; but the world
would be the gamer.

girl can have them.

Lillian was sitting with young Count
Pierre de Lussones, In one OF the
large salons of the Fifth avenue man
sion.
The count moved a little closer to
her and sat down on the luxurious d.
van covered with the skin of an i'm
mense polar bear. Pierre de Lus-
sones lit cigarette and they beg IN
to chat like old friends. She tried to
tease him a little.
80 you have come over here to
marry an heiress. you say?"
Yes; or, rather, 1t was a syndicate
Of my creditors who sent me over.

speak of your last voyage?'

sky until the rarefied air robs me OF
my consciousness, and puts me to
sleep forever"
"Suicide?"
Perhaps. But at any rate Is will
be a beautiful death and my family
will believe 1t was an accident"
Lillian blushed 4 little and said
gRyly: "I am cc.a!ng to see you
off. l will help you. 1t will be very
exciting"
Rather vexed, Lussones replied:
"Of course. II you like sensations
you will get all OF 1t you want"
Lillian took two flowers from q
vase.
