A SECOND VISIT.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The Industrial Workers of the
World, after period of comparative
quiet in this immediate neighborhood
now proclaim their intention of sub
jecting Passaic county, New Jersey
to a visitation in the immediate fu-
ture. Their object, as usual, will be
incitement to riot, bloodshed and vio-
lence.
Fortunately for the people of New
Jersey, that state is adequately pro-
vitied with laws for the protection Of
life and property, and when, in 1919
Passaic county underwent an invasion
of Industrial Workers, the public au-
thorities were not guilty of allowing
the situation to get beyond their con-
-trol.

SEARS ROEBUCK 4 COM
PANY ON THE CARPEr

CHICAGO, March 7.--The Illinois
Legislative white slave commission this
morning examined Julius Rosenwald,
the chief owner of the Sears, Roe
buck company. Rosenwald said he
employees ATOP women at an average
wage of 1912 weekly, and that girls
under 16 received minimum of S..
When asked il there was any con-
nection between immortality and low
wages, the millionaire said:
ANY girl who wants to fall will
fall whether she gets So weekly or
not. There is no connection between
low wages and prostitution--abso
ly no association. The honest girl,
properly reared, will not yield no mat
ter what wages she receives"
Rosenwald admitted the dividends Of
his company last year was over seven
million dollars and the company's sur
plus twelve million.
He denied his girls worked ten
hours, also that the records had been
doctored so it will appear that they
worked eight.
He admitted raising thousand girl
employees SIS weekly would not mate

SEvENTY-FIyE LIVES LOST
IN DYNAMITE EXPLOSION

BALTIMORE, Md, March IA
barge loaded with dynamite for the
Panama canal exploded this morning
in Curtis bay when the hold was near
ly full of the explosive.
The British steamer Alumchine and
the tug Atlantic sank.
1t is reported that seventy-five are
dead or missing. Thirty-nine bodies
have already been recovered.
Tugs were rushed Immediately to
the scene and rescued twenty-five in
jured negroes.
Because of the nature Of the ex-
plosion, the exact number of dead will
probably never be known, as many
bodies were blown to fragments.
The resulting shock from the ex-
plosion was terrific. Plate glass win
dows were broken here and skyscrap-
ers rocked. The explosion was felt
at Philadelphia.
The state house at Annapolis shook
violently, and Governor Goldsborough
and state employees, fearing collapse
of the building, rushed into the streets.
The navy collier Jason, new craft,
which was in midstream at the time
of the accident, was badly shaken.
The cargo shifted, threatening to cap

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS AND
THEIR SELF-GOvERNMENT

According to Henry Nichols of Ma
Mia, formerly Mesa county clerk, the
recent utterance of prominent Demo-
Gratis as to their policy in regard to
freeing the Filipinos has been worse
in its effects than earthquakes and
typhoohs for generation past. Mich
OILS, in letter to C. s. Jones, says that
business is at standstill and all in
vestments will be held up until some
line of action is decided upon by the
new congress.
Nichols is prominently connected
with the Negros Philippine Lumber
company, which is controlled by Den
yer men, and which has several mil
lion dollars invested in the islands.
There has been much talk here"
he said in his letter, "about what the
Democrats will do regarding the in
dependence of the Philippines, but
Wilson's speech at Stanton, in which
he sail, The Philippines are at present
our frontier, but hope we are pres
emily to deprive ourselves of that from
tier seem clearly to indicate what
it will be.
"The effect of this speech on the
business of the islands in general has
been worse than all the typhoons and
earthquakes for a generation. Pro-
posed investments are arrested, all ex-
pansions demanding the investment Of
new capital are curtailed or aban-
doned, and until some definite policy
is adopted there will be stagnation in
business circles.
"The abandonment of the islands to
some power having stable government
would not be so bad and would sat
isfy the Americans who want to get
rid Of them at any cost, but to aban-
don them to the Filipinos, who know
absolutely nothing about government,
either by training or heredity, would
be beastly criminal. AS united gov
ernment they would not last. Each
island has its own language or dia-
lect, its own customs and prejudices,
against which reason may beat itself
for decades without effect, and the
nation would be disrupted from with
