.centering around the selection Of

Recent Developments in the fight
for women's suffrage have opened the
eyes of congress, as they have opened
the eyes of intelligent men throughout
the country said Mr.. Helm. Think
ing men are beginning to realize that
the agitation of votes for women fs
one of the greatest menaces Of the vel
fare of the country today. The men OF
Michigan awoke to the situation few
weeks ago. Equal suffrage, which
was defeated in Michigan last fall by
only 700 votes, was showed under this
spring by majority Of almost 100000.
This amazing change of sentiment was
| due to the realization of men OF the
harmful effects on their women result
| ing from the craze for suffrage.
| ITO my mind the woman suffrage
movement, which for a time had some
popular support because its peril was
not realized, and because men regard
1 ed it with a good netured tolerance, IL
/ now on rapid decline. Certainly the
suffragists may expect very little sym

OF STEEL
TRUSTS TROUBLE
Farrell Says Cooperation Does
Not Control Market.
FOREIGNERS HAVE kOVANThG;
Wages, Proximity of Raw Materials
and Freight Charges All Favors Com
petitors.

New York, May Thames A. Far
rell, president OF the United States
S.eel corporation, continued his re
cital of the manner in which this COM
pany has overcome almost every OBJ
stacle put in the way of the extension
OF it's export business.
Mr.. Farrell made it very clear that
some of these obstacles had proved
insurmountable, and he submit ted de
tale dadta to show that his company
and it's subsidiaries are not by any
means in control of the domestic mar
keu as respects certain s.eel products.
Mr.. Farrell made it clear that the
item of wages has had to be rockoned
with constantly. Wages in Europe
countries, he said, were about 81 per
cent of those paid here. England pays
her steel workmen something more
than does Germany, France and Bel
GUM, and Austria and Italy are far
down in the scale.
At the Pan Yam works, near Han
kow, China, thirty laborers work a.
the blast furnace all day for little
more than 16 cents each. At the PLAN
recently installed at SIM, India, where
laborers get three cents day, p
iron is produced for $40 ton, and l,
costs only 48 cents per ton for sl1p
ment to Calcutta, whence it Is shipped
to Pacific ports.
Not only has the United States
Steel corporation made progress in Its
foreign trade against these odds and
others, but also it has improved the
standard of its product and increased
the wages of its men, Mr.. Farrell said
He submitted a table showing the
number of men employed by the com
pany since 1902, the total payroll ano
the average wage for each man.
The number of men employed II
1912 was 221,O25; years payroll, $189,
351, SOP, and the average wage for eact
man was SS56.70. In 1902, 1872
men were employed, at an average
wage of s716.SS. Mr.. Farrell said thai
the increase of wages granted at the
beginning of this year would bring the
average of each man up to 1912 for the
current year
A factor more than any other thai
has proved a boon for the competitors
of the United States Steel corporation
Is the ease with which materials fol
manufacture as assembled. Coal, coke
and ore supplies are adjacent to the
manufacturing plants. English stee
makers own coal and ore mines II
Spain and shipments are made eco
nomically. Similar conditions preva
in Australia, and in the new building
steel industry of New South Vale:
pig iron and steel will be produced I'm
der the cost now borne by the United
States Steel corporation.
To the items of wages and adjacenc.
of raw materials, which influence 81
largely the cost Of production, Their
must be added, Mr.. Farrell said, tn
item OF railway transportation in TIL
country. European manufacturers cal
send their products from Europe t
! ports in the Pacific for $3.50 a ton
while the rate from Pittsburgh to tn
Pacific coast Is SIG ton. This is re
sponsible for the fact that on the Pa
cific coast the European and Chimes
products are being sold rather thai
domestic products.
