DENIES BRANDEIs STORY.
Percival Roberts Replies as to steel
Employees,

Washington, Feb. l6.-Percival Rob-
erts, a director in the United States steel
corporation, before the House "steel
trust" investigating committee yesterday
denied a statement by Louis ID. Brandeis
that steel workmen, because OF condi-
tions under which they were compelled
to labor, were old men at forty years.
The average age of employees, he said,
was above forty, many remaining in ac,
tive service at the age of fifty-tive years.
He exhibited photographs of many OF the
older employees. Mr.. Roberts told OF the
welfare plan" of the corporation, I'M
der it he said there had been established
free hospitals, children's Fairgrounds,
and relief fund for injured employees
and their families. More than million
dollars, he declared, had been distributed
in benefits in 1910. ID. A. Reed, counsel
for the corporation, testified that under
the laws of Pennsylvania employees had
slight chance of recovering damages for
injuries. Fewer than two per cent. of
the damage suits filed were prosecuted
successfully, he said.
H. H. Eagle, pittsburg newspaper
man, submitted to the committee yester-
day what purported to be a copy OF u
blacklist of steel workers, which had
been the property of the Carnegie Steel
company. The list contained about 5000
names Asked where it came from, Ea-
gle said that year and half ago
Thomas Morgan, who represented him
self as labor agent of the Carnegie
Steel company, had offered the list for
sale to the editor of the Pittsburg lead
er. Alexander r. Moore. The paper did
not buy the list, thinking Mr. Morgan's
price OF $1,000 was too high. Eagle said
he saw some of the men on the lists,
and they said they had been unable
to get work in steel corporation mills.
"This is list dubbed blacklist by
a man who tried to sell it to news
paper said d. A. Reed, attorney for
the steel corporation. There is no evil
dence here where it came from, and |
object to it going into record"
Chairman Stanley announced his deter
mination to find Morgan. The commit.
tee then adjourned subject to the call
of the chairman.

Socialism and sociaIists.

Speaking of recent speech in Mil
ton. The Arrow head of that place said
of Joseph A. DeBoer of Montpelier: ''He
warmly diselaims being either an an
archist or a socialist, but during the
evening his socialistic ideas were plainly
in evidence"
How psny progressive men of this
generation, that is to say, truly pro-
gIessive men that are hopeful that the
future has in store for mankind some-
thing better than the product of the
past-how many such men but that
acknowledge opinions that by our fa-
Tiers would have been called radical or
radicalism, socialism, anarchy, and
everything else that was to be dis
tIustedl
The radicalism of one day becomes
the matter-of-faet of the next, that's
all We are all socialists, to greater
or less extent, if we would admit it
honestly TO one another-St. Albans
