BEGUN TO-DAY
The first step in a great campaign
to organize the underpaid workers of
the stockyards was taken by the
American Federation of Labor today.
1t is the first time since the work
ers were crushed in the great strike
of 1904 that organizers have dared to
work openly among the workers in
the yards. 9
Shortly before noon a big wagon,
bearing signs announcing a mass
meeting of the $4,000 men and wo-
men of the stockyards crew in Col
umbia Hall, Forty-eighth and Paulina
streets, started through the stock
yards district from Forty-seventh
street and Center avenues.
The signs on the wagon were in all
languages. Attention was called to
them by a huge locomotive bell on
the wagon.
The stockyards workers, pouring
out of the yards at the dinner hour,
heard the bell, saw the wagon, and
read the signs.
Tne mass meetlnS next SUNDAY
was the sole topic of conversation
Back O. the Yards today.
Both men and women workers
welcome the prospect of the fight for
organization. The crafts which have
workers inside the yards have been
busy for weeks, spreading the gospel
of trade unionism among the Polish
immigrants who make up most of the
$4,000 workers.
The packers are thoroughly alarm
ed over the attempt to organize the
stockyards crew.
The best proof of this is that the
packers are making grandstand
play in regard to their casual labor
system.
This casual labor system is the
most iniquitous of the many outrages
nv which tho nacknrS have fakan ad.

$4,000 sTocKYARDs WORKERS is

the next only thirty hours. And, of
course, his wages each week are in
proportion.
Thus, no employee, although his job
how much he would earn in any one
week. 1t all depended on the state
of the market and the whim of the
foreman.
Since the American Federation of
Labor began making arrangements
for organizing the workers, the pack,
ers have guaranteed their employees
at least four full days work a week.
The fact that the packers thought
they were doing very great thing
for their employees by guaranteeing
them FOUR days work week shows
how criminal has been the casual
labor system in the past.
The plan of the A. F. of L. is to
get the stockyards crew organized,
and then demand a conference on
wages and conditions of work with
the packers.
If the packers refuse to enter into
such conference, the federation
probably will appeal to Secretary of
Labor Wilson and the president.
1t is not the desire of the fedora
ton to tie up the entire meat industry
of. the United States as was done in
1904. If this can be avoided it will.
But if the packers prove unable to
prevent their employees organizing,
as seems probable from the spirit
of the workers at present, and Sec
rotary Wilson is unable to make the
packers see the light, a strike of the
10000 workers in the yards is certain,
and nationwide strike highly prob
able.

A LESSON FROM THE WEST.

Workers for equal suffrage in the
East can learn a wholesome lesson from
the wonderful results that have been
achieved by the women in the West in
their contest for full suffrage. There
has been a great contrast in the cam
paignng methods employed. Those in
the West have been successful, as evil
denced by the fact that the States of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California,
Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and
Kansas and the Territory of Alaska
have all granted full suffrage to women.
The Legislatures in every one of the
other States west of the Mississippi
have taken affirmative action and the
question will be submitted to the voters
at the next election. except in Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri,
Arkansas, New Mexico and Texas,
where the campaign is still being
waged.
The suffragsts of the East have ap-
parently been dealing too gently with
the Legislators. They should take a
leaf from the book of their Western
compatriots and use the "big stick"
more strenuously. In Massachusetts
the Woman Suffrage party has given
more dignity to the suffrage cause than
is generally appreciated. 1t has planted
its batteries directly against the foe,
and in the cannonade that began just
before the election last fall the results
were quickly and very plainly evident.
Opponents of suffrage who were seek
ing political Office did not achieve their
desires. This is one of the most effect
i've weapons of the Western suffragists
preventing the election of men who
are opposed to them and it brings re-
suits. Boston journal.

STALKING THE ICEBERGS.

The other day the whaling steamer
Scotia sailed from Dundee, Scotland,
commissioned by the British Board of
Trade to patrol the North Atlantic for
icebergs. This is an evidence that the
appalling Titanic disaster has left in
valuable lessons upon that Board and on
steamship owners generally. The sys-
tematic patrolling of the steamship
pathway for icebergs is the result of
the cooperation of the steamship com
panies and the British government, and
is Independent of whatever yet may be
done by the United States in the same
direction. The Scotia is well equipped
for this special service, and is manned
by competent scientists, whose reports
on the movements of ice foes and bergs
will be so explicit and accurate that
they should serve to prevent the re-
petition Of such horrors as befell the
Titanic
This very important service no doubt
is rendered possible by the perfection of
the wireless telegraph, and especially
by the multiplication of receiving sta
lions on the coasts of Newfoundland
and Labrador. Primarily these stations
were established for the benefit of the
fleet of sealing vessels which put out
from St. John, and which have paid Sc
deadly a toll in the past to the grim
phantoms of the fog and ice. Now
nearly all the sealers are equipped with
wireless. The Scotia ought to be able
not only to keep the shipping world
informed of its own observations, but
by keeping in touch with the fishermen
on the Grand Banks, with the sealers
northward from Cape Race and with
the liners on the regular steamship
tracks, it should be able to survey the
sea wi it'll a thoroughness never before
possible. The work of the Scotia will
be lonely and arduous, but it is impos.
sible to overstate its value. Scottish

Maine Proeressives to Organize
Whole State

Bangor, Me-, March q. 49, following the
State conference of Progressives in Au-
gusta last week, members of the new
party are very active. 1t is given out
by the officials that the work of organ
izing in every Maine city and town will
begin this week, and it is stated with
considerable assurance that there will
be Progressive candidate in the field
for Governor later
Representative Alton C. Wheeler of
South Paris, Bull Moose leader of the
Legislature, will begin speaking tour
of Maine after the adjournment. In the
Legislature the Progressives are oppos-
ing all measures not in line with what
they regard as progressive tendencies.
and as they hold the balance of power
in the House are among the most sought
members.

ARTIFICIAL RUBBER.

When all enthusiasms are discounted
and all adverse chances reckoned, there
still remains a strong probability that
the day of artificial rubber has arrived
Artificial rubber has been made both
in Germany and England. The sole
question is the question of cost. By
utilizing discovery made in the Pasteur
Institute of Paris the English labora-
tory, workers claim to have found a
cheap method of making rubber from
the so-called coal tar wastes.
1t was a race between English and
German eXperimenters, and in this case
the Englishmen seemed to have won by
handy margin.
The claim is made that the new rubber
can be manufactured on large scale
as low as twenty cents per pound. This
is unlikely, and unnecessary. The best
Para rubber sold October l for 81.
per pound, and the best African rubber
was but little cheaper.
Artificial rubber has been shown by
fairly complete tests to be equal to the
best Para. If artificial rubber can be
made to sell for seventy-fve or eighty
cents a pound it will work a revolution
in several lines of trade. - Chicago

FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1913.

The loss of life and destruction of
property by the recent tornadoes and
floods in the United States have been
something appalling. The suggestion
of President Wilson that the Govern
ment bear a portion of these losses, we
think very opportune and eminently
proper one In this way the burden
can be borne to certain extent by ALL
Of course we would not relieve the in
surance companies, which as a rule are
well able to bear their share of the loss.
If the Government would appropriate
even as much as the cost Of a useless
battleship it would go a long way
toward the relief of the flood stricken
inhabitants. But under the eXtraor-
binary conditions the Register thinks
the Government can well afford to pay
one-half the loss, exclusive of what is
covered by insurance.

UNCLE SANS HOUSEKEEPING IN
PANAMA.

During the most active years of
canal construction, when the force
was at its maximum, the government,
acting through the commissary and
subsistence department of the canal
commission, was housing, feeding and
in large degrees, clothing and provid-
ing with all necessities of life, nearly
65, 600 persons. This was about the
number of employees and their families
or dependents. 1t maintained a
central commissary or department
store and about twenty branch stores
in as many villages and settlements
of the canal zone. 1t operated the
Hotel Tivoli, public hotel with mod
ern facilities and Accommodations for
800 guests; about twenty line hotels
for American employees, and about the
same number each of mess houses and

American Museum of Safety. The car
was driven by Howard X. Thomas of
1874 South Elliott place. Rosenthal was
pushing a small cart, and he passed from

business of about $1,000, 600 annually,
and was self-sustaining.
There is a steady diminution in the
volume of business as the canal nears
completion and the force is reduced,
but the system continues in operation
unchanged, and will continue till the
end When the plant is thrown open
to commerce, the plant will be used by
the government to furnish supplies to
the operating force, the isthmus mill
tary establishment, the United States
naval vessel, and all passing ships
which desire to purchase them.
Every morning at o'clock supply
train starts across the isthmus from
Cristobal, made up of refrigerator and
ordinary freight cars carrying ice, cold
storage and other supplies. These are
delivered at the stations along the line
between the Atlantic and Pacific, and by
the local quartermasters are taken to
the hotels, mess houses and dwellings
of the employees.
Prices in general have been and still
are lower than these prevailing in the
United States because supplies are pur-
chased on very large contracts, awarded
on open competitive bidding, and no
profit is sought by the government. -

TWO KILLED IN JOY RIDE.
Slowly Drowned When Auto Goes
Over Emu ankment

Syracuse, March PA man and d
girl were killed, another girl was,
driven insane and a second man was in
jured in an automobile accident five
miles east of Seneca Falls early this
morning.
All of the victims are from Syracuse.
They are; Lottie Voorhees,, aged 20,
dead; Raymond HAST, chauff eur, dead;
John OConnor, badly bruisen and
shaken up; Myrtle Freeman, insane.
The accident occurred five miles
east of Seneca Falls as the state
road winds through the Montezuma
marshes. 1t was JOY party. Hast,
the chauffeur looked away from the
road for minute. The car leaped the
embankment. The Voorhees, girl and
Hast were pinned beneath it. The
girl was drowned in about a foot of
water. The other two escaped. Miss
Freeman is believed to have been
driven mad by the cries of the other
two as they died. O'Connor held lNl
head above water for more than an
hour until they were rescued.
The Freeman woman was submerged
with only her head above water and lay
helpless for more than an hour, until
O'Connor ran three quarters of a mile
to the nearest house and brought back
assistance.

Plan Another Suffrage Parade.

Washington, March 25.-It was
finally determined to day by the Con-
gressonal committee of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
to attempt another parade in Washing
ton on April 7, when the siXty-third
Congress Convenes.
The'street pageant will not be on such
an elaborate scale as that of March 3,
when,disorders along the line of march
resulted in a. Senatorial inquiry not yet
concluded, and the suffrage leaders hope
for clear streets from a down town
theatre to the Capitol.
Delegates from each State and Con-
gressional district are to assemble on
the morning of April 7 to discuss plans
for an advance upon the new Congress
in the interest of an eqnal suffrage
amendment. After the meeting the
women, robed in white, will march to
the Capitol, each carrying petition to
a particular Representative or Senator.

PEST MAY PROVE A BLESSING

PEST MAY PROVE A BLESSING
A water plant that has been feared as
pest is to be turned into valuable com
mercial product of Indo China, if any
thing comes of the suggestion to the
Saigon Chamber of Commerce by NJ.
Perrott, the French investigator. The
plant, popularity known as Luc Blink,
invaded Cambodia ten years ago from
Java or the Philippines, and has grown
so rapidly as to fill ponds and lakes in a
short time. A single stalk is reported
to have spread over water surface of
700 square yards in a few months. 1t
has caused no little alarm as a menace
to navigation, and considerable sum
seems to have been already expended
in attempts to destroy it.
Its strong fibre, however, has been
found by M. Perrot to be useful for
textile purposes. From 100 pounds of
green stalk he obtained nine pounds of
fibre, and fifth inch yarn or cord from
this supported weight of 100 pounds.
The cord can be woven into mating or
canvas. This can be died any color and
is suitable as a substitute for woven
cane in furniture, but is expected to be
especially valuable for rice sacks,
Such sacks equal to jute, can be made
lighter than jute by treating with
chrome alum. Public Ledger.

VERMONT SCHOOLS.
Continued from page l.. }

copied great sacrifices from their par
ents, only to receive an inferior train
ing, which had nevertheless been guar
anteed to them as first class by the
state of Vermont. Ambition for better
schools in communities has been stihed,
because the state assured them they
had first class school, when, as
matter of fact, they had only a second
or third class school. The new board
of education has power to rectify these
evils.
Another most beneficent law enact
ed few years ago, was that providing
for unions of towns for the purpose of
securing trained supervision of all
their schools. The state bears almost
the entire expense of these superin
tendents, but hitherto has given little
direction to their activities. Qualifi
cations for these positions have not
been adequately determined, and school
directors have had no guarantee that
they were getting man adequately
|
powers entrusted to the board of edu-
cation, far greater returns should be
received for the money the state is now
contributing for this work, and the
children in the little scattered school
houses should receive the benefit.
Progressive states like New York
and Massachusetts have long had such
boards of education, and their citizens
would not dream of dispensing with
them. In New York a magnificent
building costing 100000 is devoted
entirely to state school work and a
vast army of trained men and women
is employed. The appropriation for
the board in Vermont is modest, and
while the members of the board stand
should not be expected all at once. But
with such men as President Benton,
Frank H. Brooks, Col. Franklin S. Bill
lings and Herbert d. Ryder, giving
their best thought to planning for i'm
provement in the schools, good results
may certainly be expected in due time.
The state superintendent. elected by
the Legislature until December l, 1914
is by law their executive officer, anC
has pledged himself to hearty cooper
ton in carrying out the policies they
determine. The members of the boarc
will be largely in the background, but
sooner or later their influence will be
: felt in every school in the state.
