Brandeis on Condition of Steel
Workers
THE RESULT is DEGENERATES
And Observation-Disclosures Only Pur-
pose of the owners-He Declares
That the Situation Is Better
in England.

Washington, Jan. 30-Louis ID.
| Brandeis told the Stanley steel commit
tee some startling facts yesterday morn
ing relating to the steel corporation
and its treatment of the men who create
its products. Their condition has been
condition of prince and pauperizlng;
of the making of degenerates and cap
italists,' said Mr., Brandeis after Civ
ing a summary of the lhours and wages
paid TO the workers. AT this point in
the proceedings Chairman Stanley in
voice OF delicate irony asked this ques-
ton:
II have heard" he began, that the
steel worker is through at about forty
Years of age. Is this sol" My people
in Kentucky were shareholders, but a
slave was at his prime at forty. Can
you cnlighten met"
al am informed" said Mr.. Brandes,
that a large number of the men become
old at forty, and | am surprised that
they do not become old before"
The Boston lawyer then described
what he believed to be the underlying
cause of this morally wrong" situa-
ton. 1t was due, he stated, to the
fact that the modern stakeholder, as
eontrasted with the slave owner, has
no personal interest in the worker, and
that there il no other interest than
for dividends or for increased dividends.
The great corporations, he explained, are
managed by resident managers, who rep
resent absentee landlords. This sys-
tenn" said Mr.. Brandeis, sis like the
Irish rack rent system"
Reading from the report of Commits
sioner Aeill of the bureau OF labor, Mr..
Brandeis presented to the committee a
careful analysis Of the workingman's lot
when employed by these large corpora
tions. The introduction of the Taylor
system, it was pointed out, has made
things worse. These men" said Mr.
Brandeis, repeatedly, ARE American citi-
zens and ] am calling your attention
to the conditions which claim are de-
structive of American citizenship"
Mr. Brandeis and d. A. Reed, counsel
for the United States Steel corpora
ton, FLASHED over line of inquiry into
the corporations labor policy. Mr. Reed
the committee had no au-
thority to investigate the labor ques-
ton. Chairman Stanley overruled him.
MIR, Brandeis criticised the length Of
hours of workmen,
"The percentage of men who undergo
hardships is unusually large" said Mr..
Brandeis. Judge Gary's comment ON
criticisms of the corporations labor pol
icy shows me the utter inability of
large corporations to regard human life"
Mr.. Brandeis declared that the steel
in England has eliminated en-
trely all these Objectionable features"
"You don't mean England has been |
able to do anything for labor that we
can't do in this countryf" demanded !
Chairman Stanley. you must be mis-
taken"
Unfortunately in this case l am not !
returned Mr.. Brandeis. say I
ing that the working week of an Eng /
hsh steel worker was 55.2 hours, and |
that AZ per cent. Of the workers in this
country averaged " hours.

Mr.. Watterson Issues Another
Statement
ATTACKING N. J. GOVERNOR
MAY God Protect Democracy from Such
a Leader" Exclaims Kentuekian
Governor Wilson
Mum.

Washington, Jan. 30--Col Henry
Watterson last night issued statement
declaring the issue between him and
Gov. Wilson was solely as to which had
lied Col Watterson said he had zen.
gagged concIusively to show Gov. Wilson
had lied, and charged the New Jersey
executive dared not face the facts"
Col. Watterson declined to make pub
lie any proofs in his possession. He
denied Thomas +. Ryan ever had been
approached for campaign contributions
for Gov. Wilson, but said the matter had
been talked over with Gov Wilson and
the latter had expressed fear that ii
knowledge of contribution from Ryan
got abroad it would do more harm than
good.
After reviewing his early acquaintance
with Gov. Wilson, showing that. they
had always been friends until recently
Watterson says of the Ryan matter:
"The Ryan story, so tar as it related to
Col. Harvey, was lie out of whole
cloth. Though Gov Wilson knew this
he allowed it to be circulated without
contradiction. The attempt which fol-
lowed its exposure by me to make it
appear that | have intimated that an
application was made to Ryan, is cut off
the same cloth. Mr.. Ryan never heard
of the matter. Neither | nor anyone
else spoke to him on the subject The
effort Of Wilson'S promoters to revive II
is simply an attempt to divert public
attention from the fact that Gov. Will
son has been rattling around as a hero.
because Of his indignant rejection of
Ryan, the truth being that Ryan was
never pressed on him at ALL May God
protect Democracy from such a leader"

A Sensible Change

There is said to be little opposition to
the proposed constitutional amendment
changing the date of the Inauguration OF
the President of the United States from
March to the last Thursday in April,
and providing that Congress shall as
semble on the first Tuesday of January
following it's election.
Should the resolution pass, the inau-
guration of 1917 will be held in April
Bad weather usually prevails in Wash
ington early in March, and it will be re.
called that at Mr.. Taft's inauguration,
an unusually disagreeable and violent
storm married the ceremonies and caused
much discomfort among the throngs who
had gathered to see the show.
The change requiring Congress to meet
two months after election instead of
waiting for more than a year is a com.
mon sense idea to which there appears to
be no opposition.

Ferdinand Gauthier Dead

Tuesday morning this community was
shocked to learn that Ferdinand eau
thier was dead. Two weeks ago last
Saturday he was taken to the asylum at
Waterbury for treatment, it having been
so suggested by the physicians who had
treated him and examined him. He was
suffering from severe nervous troubles
and had been that way for several
months. He went reluctantly, but on
reaching there expressed pleasure at his
treatment and was considered to be i'm
proving and in fact had written here to
that effect
He retired early Monday night and
slept well. He was seen by the watch
raan,at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning and
was then all right. At he was found
dead, having strangled himself with
sheet He had been dead about twenty
minutes.
The body will arrive at this place to-
night and the funeral, which will be held
at St. Teresa's church tomorrow, will be
private.
Ferdinand Gauthier, son of the late
Joseph Gauthier, was born in ST. An
tome P. O., Dec. 5, 1856, and came to
this town with his parents when he was
two years old. He has lived here ever
since. For over thirty years he was in
the employ of c. S. Page, and faithful
and devoted employee he was. Jan. 1,
1887 he married Della Papineau. by
whom he is survived. Three sisters and
four brothers also survive him. namely

A Parcels Post

A parcels post appears to be one of the
things likely to be bestowed on this
country in the near future, and the prob
able effect of 1t is getting considerable at.
tention at the hands of the country mer.
chant.
Whether it is to take the form of gen.
eral parcels post, or partial scheme OF
that sort, remains to be seen.
Most of the merchants in this vicinity
believe general parcels post would work
decided hardships on the country mer.
chants and drive some of them out of
business.
While many of the statesmen at Wash.
ington favor some kind of parcels post.
some of them look upon a general post
as likely to bankrupt the national treas.
urv, but there is a difference of opinion
among them as regards its effect upon
the country merchant.
1t is possible that those who fear tbe
effect OF parcels post upon the country
storekeeper and believe it means the
gradual decadence of his business are
driving undulv upon their Imagination
and are seeing things; and if Is nos
sible too That even so radical a change
in the delivery system would not work
the hardship feared, because great
changes do not always prove as detri-
mental to public interests as they some
times threaten to.
But the Tribune is inclined to believe
that general parcels post, while confer.
ring some benefit upon the buying public,
would prove hurtful to the country mer-
chant, and that if Congress is determined
TO try the parcels post experiment, the
statesmen who compose that body and
who represent in SO large degree localities
where the country merchant flourishes
and is an important factor in the COM
munIty, should see to it that his interests
are conserved to a reasonable degree
