Accepting the dinner of January.
1911, us fairly typical of the rest and
| the things said and done there as
| fairly representative of the things
| said and done at the others, we think
| the conclusion is irresistible that the
| Gary dinners were instituted as a
| means of conveying to the entire steel
and iron industry information as to
what the attitude of the United States
Steel Corporation was upon the ques-
| lions of output and prices and of inn
pressing upon All engaged in the in
| dustry that it was the part of wis
dom and prudance to govern them
| selves accordingly
I'VE further believe that by this
| means prices We're maintained, output
restricted, territory divided, competi-
| ton stifled and trade restrained, just
as certainly, just as effectively, and
| inst as lawfully as had been done I'M
der the discarded pooling agreements
| of former years"
Representative McGillicuddy who
studied the labor condition in the
| steel mills, found that the corporation
| was opposed to organized labor and
preferred foreign laEor.
1.-The result he says. sis that about
| so per cent of the unskilled laborers
in, the steel and iron business are
| foreigners of these classes. With the
benefit of skilled American foreman
such a crew can work out results II
unskined labor production. The pro-
: fits of this system of labor employ
ment go TO the Steel Corporation
while the displaced American work
man shifted as best he could"

ROMEO CAUGHT IN CHIMNEY
Curious Antics of a Breton Lover
Arouse Excitement in Village
In Brittany.

This story comes straight from Nor
laix, very modern place in Brittany.
Our Romeo, like Chaucers hero was
caught In the chimney. He was go
ing to his sweetheart, instead of run
ming away from her. The pretty
Juliette was a distance of some seven
miles from his home. The enamored
Romeo tramped it on foot all that
distance. At night he reached the
house, and called, but got no answer.
AS the door was shut he decided to
try the roof. On the roof he found
the chimney, and 1t seemed to him
that was quite wide enough to let him
down. He descended for snme dis
lance, but then. as he came GEAR the
fireplace, the chimney narrowed. He
slipped and got In a marrow neck.
Here be was caught, unable t. move
MP or down. Before long he selt a
suffocating sensation. If the thing
lasted much longer 1t would be the
end Of him. He could stand 1t no
more. Acter grooming he yelled, and
he beloved so we'll that not only was
his sweetheart disturbed in her slum-
bers, but the whole village was ex.
cited.
The nearest chlmney-sweep was
called. but he could not help him out

and he, with all the notables of the
place, went to look. They consulted
among them, and the only way to
nberate the captive lover was to pull
down part of the chimney. This was
done by some masons. and he was
presently released. but before being
allowed his freedom a police report
was drawn up, with view to infiict-
ing a series of fines for breaking into
q private Enclosure. damaging other
peoples property, waking up the au-
thorities unnecessarily. and causing q
public scandal. Poor Romeo was very
sad when 1t was all over.-Paris Cor

One Of the most wonderful things in
nature is the arrangement of the teeth
In the mouth of the common adder or
viper The creature does not use its
poison fangs when it bites the animals
on which it feeds. and so by very
curious arrangement these fangs are
laid back fat in the roof of the mouth
out of the way OF the ordinary teeth
which are used for feeding. By this
means the adder can use whichever
set of teeth it pleases: one set will poi
son it's enemy and the other is more
suitable for eating its food.

AS the little man walked absent

"But-but I don't dare to go home

The clerk called to another In the
