THE STEEL TRUST RAISES WAGES

THE STEEL TRUST RAISES WAGES
N raising the wages of it's men the
Il Steel Trust is not merely giving
evidence of good times. It is per-
forming routine act of justice to it's
employees that has been long deferred.
The Steel Trust has had every i'm
portant advantage on its side that gov
eminent, political influences and fnan-
cial power could confer, and it has
suffered labor conditions to continue
for years in it's mills that would have
been an everlasting reproach to any
employer. From the day Of it's crea-
ton it has enjoyed the special favor
OF the law. It has been the darling
and the pride of the greatest fnAn-
clal interests in Wall street. It has
been one of the largest employers of
labor in the country, and as such It
has fallen under the severest condem-
nation.
only recently, under public expo
sure and because Of the protests Of
minority stockholders, the Steel trust
has consented to modify the condi-
lions in its mills, where $4,000 men

JUDGE ANDERsON's TRAINING.

Judge Anderson at Indianapolis unwittingly in
Dictated by his language that his training has ALWAYS
been on the side of the employer. In referring to
the strike of the iron workers against the American
Bridge company, he the terms open shop" and
closed shop both of which coined by anti-labor
employers associations. Had his training been with
the trade unions he would have used terms mon
union shop and union shop" But why comnlain? ?

SOME NEW YEAR WISHES
III ERE are few wishes for the
IL year 1913.

THERE are a few wishes for the
IL year 1913.
May the judges in the courts be
given to understand the full meaning
and likely consequences of their us,,r-
pations in matters relating to annul-
ing the laws enacted by the people.
inserting insiduous amendments tn
the laws without basis Of legal au-
thority, straining the prophecies to
reach decisions in favor Of CORPORA
lions as against the rights of individ-
uals, deferring to the wishes of the
rich to the detriment of the poor
showing spleen and vindictiveness to-
ward the working man and his or
carnations, and in other ways intli-
eating their unfitnesss to continue in
their high positions. -
1t Is the working peoples heartfelt
desire to be able to look up to the
judges as their means Of protection
against injustice, and as the true in
terpreters of the law; also to abide
oy court decisions and to regard them
as the last word upon the subject, al
though such may be adverse to their
original views.
May the Lord help US to get 1nst
Judges, and may Satan take all 9TH
ers.
May the stewards Of great wealth
De content with just and adequate re-
turns and not seek gains that are not
theirs.
May all bogus capital be DESTROYED
in order that working people shall
not by force of circumstances have
to earn interest upon it.
May Americanism be established az
the greatest ism" the minds Of men
ever conceived.
May the churches turn again to tho
oenetlc1ent teachings of the Master
and denounce the evils worked bv
Worsh1pers of Mammon,
May statesmen of the true TYNE
come to the fore to lead the people
out of the jungle in which they find
themselves:
May all these and other things be
done to prevent the necessity of a
clash between contending interests
that may imperil civilization and lead
to much sorrow.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 27.-The first

country, in which the participants in
clude representatives of all the promi-
nent temperance and anti-saloon Or
CARNATIONS and churches and religious

GERMS
ATTACK QUICKLY.
To Prevent Their lnroads, Other Seri-
Gus Ailments Must Be Con-
quered First.

1t is a well-known fact that germs
of tuberculosis quickly attack people
whose organs are weakened by coughs,
colds and pneumonia, and they attack
in the most unexpected places. To
prevent their entrance into the sys-
tenn, it is necessary to check that
cough at once. A valuable remedy is
Ger-Rar-Dy Lung Balsam, a prepare
ton that gives real relief by reaching
the seat of the trouble, restoring the
inflamed membranes to their natural
functions and placing the system in a
condition to ward off the attacks of
more serious troubles.
In fact, the results from Ge-Rar-Dy
Lung Balsam are really surprising, the
most obstinate cough quickly leaving
after a few hours. 1t is excellent for
children with Group, and an unequalled
remedy for whooping cough. 1t is
especially valuable in bronchial trou-
bles, throat tickle, asthma and in
famed lungs. Druggists sell Ge-Rar-
by Lung Balsam for 25c a bottle, and
it is sold with the distinct understand
ing that if it fails to give relief, the
entire purchase price will be returned

versal form of the home. You can
find today the loom, the spinning
wheel, the lard-kettle, the candle-mold
and the squirrel rifle, unchanged in a
hundred years. The women there still
wear sunbonnets, and they still ride
behind, horseback, with their lords
and masters; still stand waiting at
table while their lords and masters eat.
Strange Elizabethan phrases of speech
still linger. Hot bread still prevails,
three meals a day, and pork when
they can get it. The men do not go
West to pick up prairie lands, but toll
laboriously with an ak on steep noun
tain sides to open the land, pillow it
precariously with single shovel-plows,
or till 1t laboriously with hoes-men,
women and children with hoes. Farm
machinery is unknown.
You cannot believe, and surely can
not understand, there things without
seeing them-cannot believe that this
backward country is in America as
you know it. But, having seen them,
you understand why these sidetracked
Highlanders, lost for more than a
century, do not send their children to
school. There are no schools, because
there are no roads; no roads, because
there are no taxes; no taxes, because
there is no money; and, coming round
| again in a circle, no possible inter
change of commodities, because there
are no roads. There lies the wilder
ness of the old crossing-place of the
Alleghanies as Boone saw it and left
it.-American Magazine.

TO RELY ON INSANITY PLEA.

White Plains, N. Y, Jan. 27.-John
H. Mcclure was arraigned for trial
today on charge of having murdered
Serene Starrett of Rochelle Heights
on Oct. 8 last. Mcclure was employed
by Mr.. Starrett as butler for several
months and was discharged. On the
night of the murder he forced his way
into the Starrett residence, and, it is
charged, that he shot and killed Mr..
Starrett while the latter was i'll in
bed.
1t is expected that the defense will
be based upon plea of insanity. Ever
since his arrest Mcclure has acted
in an irrational manner His attorney
declares that he inherited insanity and
| 1t is expected that his old mother,
whose home is in Tennessee, will ap-
pear at the trial to testify in substan
tiation of the insanity plea. The prose
cutting attorney, on the other hand, as
serts that the accused man is taking
insanity. He has been examined by
two eminent specialists, both of whom
reported that he showed no symptoms
of insanity

EVIDENCE
AGAINST Her
HUSBAND
WRoNGED WIFE BY CLEVER DE-
TEcTIvE WORK OBTAINS
PROOF OF INFIDELlTY.

New York, Jan. 27.-Clever detec-
Wilson has resulted in the filing in
the supreme court by her of suit for
divorce from James s. Wilson, now a
salesman in California for the National
Cash Register Company, but formerly
in the employ of the Pacific Coast
Borax Company.
The Wilson's were married at Bur-
lington, Ia, in 1899, and have one
daughter, twelve years old. They
lived happily until seven years ago,
when Wilson began to be attentive to
young and handsome woman whose
! first name is Maude. She was a ste
nographer with the borax company.
Their devotion resulted in both of them
leaving the company.
| Mrs. Wilson learned few months
ago that her husband and Maude had
been living as husband and wife from
| 1905 to 1909 in an apartment house in
this city. She also learned that a
Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin, tenants in the
same house, we're on friendly terms
with Wilson and Maude and accom-
panied them on automobile trips.
Mrs. Wilson called on the Galvins.
She told them she was a friend of the
Wilson's, and had at one time lived in
the same house with them. The Gal
wins showed her a photograph of Will
son, Maude and pet dog, and said
they were living at San Jose, Cal.
Mrs. Wilson thereupon told who she
was and produced her marriage certifi-
cate.
The Galvins were taken completely
by surprise, and told Mrs. Wilson that
had she disclosed her identity before
she would have received no informa'
ton from them.
Attorneys for Mrs. Wilson have ap'
piled for an order directing service OF
her summons and complaint on Wilson
and his companion by publication.
