Students Strike

Philadelphia Dec. 012.-Ofganzed
bodies of workmen do not exercise
alone the prerogative of the strike. At
frequent intervals the press dispatch
es chronicle the fact that people in
all walks of life resort to the method,
of ceasing their usual activities for
one reason or another. The latest
demonstration of this kind took place
when 1000 students at the University
of ennsylvania went on strike because
they were refused the opportunity to
celebrate their schools football vic
tory over Michigan. The students
made a demonstration that for a time
threatened to assume the proportions
of a riot. The officials of the univer-
sity directed that the fire hose be
turned on the demonstrators, copying
the method used in San Diego, Cal,
some time ago. The officials of the
school have taken measures to find
out who were the leaders in the strike
and it is stated that if they are dis
covered they will be severely disci-
Mined. Employers of labor act IN a
similar manner and usually victimize
workmen who are active spirits in the
organizations of labor.

DEATH TOLL AT CROSSINGS

Washington, Dec. 12.-At a recent
sessionofthe National Convention of
Railway Commissions in this city a
report on the accidents happening at
grade crossings were under discus
sion. It was reported that the loss
of life at grade crossings in this coun-
try is now estimated at $4,000 per
sons killed every year. A general dis
cussion was entered into relative to
measures to be adopted in doing away
with grade crossings. Various views
were expressed, some delegates tax
ing the position that the State should
divide the expenses with the rail-
roads, while others contended that the
railroadsshould bear the entire ex-
pense of providing underground or
overhead crossings. Theyearly toll of
death has reached such enormous
figures that this question demands
solution and if the railroads do not
voluntarily adopt some protective
measure it is likely that both govern
mental and State action will be forth
coming within short time.

RISE IN IRON AND STEEL

Washington, Dec. 12.-How prices
of iron and steel products rose after
the United States Steel Corporation
was organized was incorporated in
the testimony in the government suit
to dissolve the Steel Trust by Dr.
Francis Walker, Deputy Commission
er of Corporations. DR.. Walker stat
ed that the average increase in the
products was $685. per ton, or 80 per
cent The highest increase was in
Southern iron manufactures, being 70
per cent. Prices in the United
States were uniformly higher after
the era of combination than in Eng
land and Germany, except in 1911,
when the United States fell much
lower than those abroad on account
of the local competitive markets be-
ing restored. Sources of government
information presented in the Steel
Trust report ofthe Bureau of Corpo-
rations were attacked by attorneys
for the trust.

that they were out of place In the
