Paid Tribute To Mr.. Hays.

A prevailing hush all through the
yards, shops, and offices of the Central
Vermont railway at II 80 o'clock Thurs
day morning marked the five Minutes
entire suspension of work in connection
with the memorial to the late Charles
M. Hayes, of Montreal, head of the
Grand Trunk railway system, who lost
his life in the Titanic disaster of April
Ia. From II 80 to II :35 o'clock, East
ern time, all work on every railway,
boat line, or industrial plant in the
Grand Trunks offices from Great
Britain to Vancouver and on the Pacific
boat line stopped. The hour of 11:30
O'Clock marked the time of the opening
of the memorial service in Montreal.
This is probably one of the greatest
observances of its kind by any organiza-
ton on record. Thousands of men
dropped their work and silence marked
the five minutes observance.
All along the line of the Central YER
mont trains stopped where they
happened to be, in stations or out on the
line. Telegraph instruments were
hushed as were typewriters in the
offices. In the shops the machinery was
stopped and the men seated themselves
beside their work during the five
minutes prescribed. Clerks in offices
suspended their regular duties. Shutters
in the yards stood still where they
happened to be at that hour.

Boston lawyer, who looks, acts,

Lincoln, while t~estifying before

driven Americans out and
brought foreign emigrant labor
into their mills.

In contrast with the treatment

have received at the hands of

Mr.. Brandeis presented instances
where prices have been re-

dustries operated under free
competition. Yet the stand

familiar with how the Democratic
leaders feel about this, and the
leaders and the majority of the
party are conservative. The
tariff will be revised downward.
but it will be done conServatively
and without disturbing business
conditions unnecessarily. Demo-
Gratis realize that business men
have rights which must be pro-
tected."
This statement by Congress
man John Fl. ROthermel, of PENN
sylvania, chairman of the com
mittee ON expenditures in the de-
partment of Commerce and la
Dor, is endorsed by all the Dem
ocratS in Congress. Mr.. Rother-
mel S home is in Reading, Penn
sylvania, which is in the heart of
the Pennsylvania manufacturing
section.
Evidence is multiplying that
business men do not fear Demo
cratic success in 1912, and that,
on the contrary, they will wei
come it. This is due almost
wholly, the House leaders say,
to the business like way in
which the Democrats have hand
led affairs since they we're plac-
ed in control of the lower house
OF Congress a year ago. The
steel trust, which would have
more reason than any other
trust to be suspicious of Dem
ocratic success, is thriving as
never before at this season of
the year, and the customary hol-
iday let up of twelve days was
reduced to two. EARLY in Jan
uary, it is said, the steel mills all
over the country will be working
to 80 per cent of capacity.
furnaces, long idle, have
resumed operations, and thel
steel corporation confidently ex-
poets 1912 to be the banner year
of its history.
The same story of increased ac-
tlvity is told by the railroads
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford, which last spring hid
several thousand men, lately
has taken them all back, and
many more besides. The shops
at Hartford, the company Of
ficials say, will be buster during

been for four years back. All
the big railroads have placed
orders for new equipment,
a recent order of the New York
Central alone calling for an ex-
penditure of $23, 100000. All of
them are working their men to

The Taft tariff board exoner-

anything like taking advantage
of high tariff rates to advance tn
prices. The boards report
would make it appear that the

thing.
But the report isn't altogether
useless, because it proves beyond
successful contradiction
First-That Schedule K is
"indefensiblei = it proves this
conclusively and for all time.
Seeond--It confirms practically
every charge made against the
wooden schedule by Democrats
and Progressive Republicans.
Third-It proves that the
American people are victims of
extortion from wool manufacture

one of the newest of the general pur-
pose breeds is the Rhode Island Red.
These fowls are very hardy and for
that reason well adapted to farm con-
ditions. They rank up well with the
Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes in
laying ability and as meat producers.
They are about the same size rs the
Wyandottes, the standard weight being
eight and one-half pounds for the cock
and six and one-half pounds for the
hen. The color is brilliant red. with
portions of the tail and wings shad-
ing off to black. The exact shade of
color varies considerably.
There are Il number Of other general
purpose breeds. such as the Bonn
iniques, Buckeyes and Javas The lat
ter are about the same size as the
Plymouth Rocks, though Of little
different shape. They lay we'll, are
fairly good for meat and are good sit
ters. There are two varieties, black
and mottled. The objection applies to
this breed that Is made to all birds
with black plumage-that the black
pinfeathers detract considerably from
the appearance of the dressed fowl
Such birds are seriously Disseminated
against in the markets. "he foregoing
breeds have been developed In this
country and are known as American
breeds. There is also an English
breed, the Orpingtons, that gives very
good satisfaction as a general purpose
fowl.
