ports were obviously inadequate. Rogalas
left q widow with four young children.
A fifth was born six months later. The
company offered to settle with her for
SOC. She refused and put her case in
the hands Of a lawyer who brought suit
for $4,000. It was a year before the suit
came to trial and no damages were
awarded. Mrs. Rogalas has been sup.
porting herself and her family by TAX
ing In washing. The city poor relief has
contributed to piece out the income. and
she has had help from other sources.
This Is one OF 52S cases OF men killed
by work accidents in Allegheny County.
Pa, in one year. which were Investigated
by a stan Of experts provided by the
Russell Sage Foundation. 1t shows the
unfairness Of an industrial system that
throws most Of the cost Of such acci-
dents on the family Of the worker in
stead of on the industry itself.
Such cases as that OF Rogalas have
finally found their way into the field OF
national politics when a great party In
serts a plank In its platform which de-
mands a standard Of compensation for
death by industrial accident and injury
and trade disease which will transfer the
burden Of lost earnings from the family
of working people to the industry and
thus to the community.

MAKING OVER JERUSALEM.
Telephones, PAVING, Sewers, Tram
ways and Water Works.


Frum the American Hebrew
The latest indication Of the progress
going on in Jerusalem was the arrival
a short time ago Of a massive American
motor road roller. and the decision to
equip the city with an efficient tram
way system. The walls inclose 2oe acres.
of which thirty-five acres are occupied
by the Temple inclosure. But owing to
the impossibiiity of housing the thou
sands of Jewish immigrants who still
continue to arrive building has been pro-
ceeding outside the walls to a very con-
siderable extent.
The consequence OF the presence Of
this extramural population Is that first
one and then another of the gates was
left open by night. until to-day they are
all perpetually open Indeed. two Of the
gateways have no gates at all Mean
while the Mohammedan population is
not by any means keeping pace with the
Jewish and the Holy City seems in a
fair way to become once more in fact as
well as in name the capital city Of the
Hebrew race.
Jerusalem Is soon to have its own
tramway service as a concession for the
purpose has already been granted to a
French company. which will start lay
ing the tram lines in the course Of the
summer. An English company has ap-
piled for a concession to illuminate the
city with water by the construction Of
large reservoirs near wells situated at a
distance Of about sixteen miles from Je-
rusalem.
The municipality is also considering
proposals for paving the streets and con-
structing sewage works. A modern
IRE extinguishins apparatus and q tele-
phone installation are also to be pro-
vided.
The project Of constructing q harbor
in Jaffa, which has been discussed for
the last thirty years. Is likely to be real
lied At last. A French Belgian company.
with the cooperation of the Jaffa-Jeru-
salem Railway Company. is said to have
applied for a concession to carry out the
project. for which 1t has raised a cap
ttal Of nearly one million pounds ster-
ling. The government Is reported to
have come to an agreement with the
company about the conditions Of the
concession and only the consent Of par

amined-from England, Germany, France.

clares that the action of Congress and
the President in reference to the exemp-
ton Of our ships from tolls is the great
est blow to treaty-making and interna-

for years. II our nation can SO lightly
break treaty, who can trust her with
any new ones? And is this the coun.
try which was recently talking arbitra-
tion treaties Of unlimited character? they
are all saying.
IF the United States should refuse to
arbitrate the question when Great Bri-
tain demands II, ii will be impossible for
her ever to say anything about arbitra-
ton again. The leading German papers
are as bitter as those Of England in

ruthless act, and cynical disregard of
