RECENT RAILROAD WRECKS.

Washington.-The following is a rec
ord of a few of the disastrous wrecks
which have occurred upon railroads
within the recent past: At Lock Haven,
Pa. the Buffalo flyer ran into a bowlder
that had rolled on the mountainside and
derailed the entire string of cars with
the exception of the rear sleeper For
tunately, the only person on the train
who needed the attention OF a physician
was an express messenger, who had been
badly shaken up when his car over
turned. II was a miraculous escape for
all those on board. Seven men were
killed, two missing, and fifteen were in
jured recently when a freight train on
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad went
through a bridge over the Guyandotte
river, near Huntington. W. Va Thirty
structural ironworkers were on the
bridge at the time making repairs when
il collapsed. Many of them were thrown
into the river and some swan ashore,
while others were drowned. The loco
motive and eight freight cars went into
the river. Recently the Chicago-New
Orleans limited of the Illinois Central
was in a head-on collision with freight
| train near Brookhaven. Miss. Two men,
bers of the freight crew were killed and
| five passengers were injured. Fifteen
persons were injured, eight of them seri-
| ously, in an accident on the Boston and
| Albany at Charlton, Mass. The rear
truck of sleeper. the last car of a
| train, jumped a switch near the Charl-
| ton depot, the derailed car bouncing
close to the east-bound track and par
tally onto the track of an approaching
freight train The freight train struck
the car, tearing of the side from end to
end. Every passenger on the car was
injured. some by flying glass and slim
ters, while others were crushed by heavy
chairs. Three men were injured at
Hooker. Tenn, recently when q west,
bound freight on the Memphis division
of the Southern railway ran into the
rear of north-bound freight on the
Northern Central. A car repairer was
killed and three men hurt recently al
Chicago when an Illinois Central train
ran down a gang of workmen.

on,o,s LABOR GROUP.

Columbus. Ohio-The executive board
of the Ohio State Federation of Labor
recently met in this city and outlined a
vigorous campaign for labor legislation.
The board discussed the various bills
that will be presented and 1t was agreed
that the eight-hour day and compulsory
insurance would be among the hardest
fights. Employers of women will resist
the first proposal and the private insur-
ance companies will oppose any plan
that will force them to turn their busi-
ness over to the state. Representatives

UNION MAN HoNoRED.

Harrisburg.-In appreciation of the
distinction won by Richard v. Farley, a
Philadelphia union printer who deleated
the veteran Keyser for the state senate,
thereby becoming the first union man t.
sit in the upper branch of the Pennsyl-
vania legislature, the friends of Senator
Farley, upon the recent opening of the
law-maklng body, embraced the oppor-
tunity to make the occasion a memor-
able one. Typographical union No. 2, of
Philadelphia, presented the union SEN
ator with a handsome silver tea set, and
the Typographical union of Harrisburg
presented him with a floral gift A large
number of Philadelphia union men were
in the city for the express purpose of
doing honor to Senator Farley. The
senator has been active in the organized
labor movement many years, and was a
delegate to the recent Cleveland conven-
ton of the International typographical
union. The reputation acquired by him
for sterling integrity and unflinching
courage is emphasized by his victory in
his district. Senator Farleys election
is regarded by organized labor as a vic
tory for the political policy of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.

A VICTORY WON.

New York-An agreement has been
signed. covering the conditions OF set
tlement between the Waist and Skirt
Manufacturers association and the La
dies Garment Workers union. Up to
the time of the calling of this strike the
Waist and Skirt Manufacturers associa-
ton only numbered IS members. employ
ing only 5000 people, with only small
per cent of the latter members of the
union. After the strike was inaugurated
fifty-five other manufacturers joined the
association, making a total of 10S. Ac-
cording to the agreement signed, all OF
these manufacturers will come under
the terms of the new agreement, and IL
is very likely that all manufacturers
who can qualify as being responsible
will become members OF the association.
There is some little friction in some
quarters among the employees relative to
the agreement. but it is believed that the
objections will be waived. owing to the
fact that the agreement is considered a
fairly good one There are $1,000 waist
and skirt makers involved. and large
per cent of these have returned to work
under the arrangement arrived at, known
now In the clothing trades. In lieu OF the

ELECTRICAL WORKERS. RAISE.

Wheeling, w. va-The local organiza-
ton of Electrical Workers employed by
the city has secured a wage increase ap-
proximating $40 per month, and SO
shortened the working hours to eight per
day. A signed agreement has been en-
tered into, and is the first one secured
by the organization from the officials
of the city. Two shifts will hereafter be
employed instead of one, as in the past
when the men worked from ten to twelve
hours per day. The union also mas pre-
sented a new scale to the electrical con-
tractors of the city, asking for an in
crease of 10 cents per hour, and it is
said that the employers have offered as
a compromise cents per hour. No
definite understanding has been reached
as vet with the contractors.

WIN STRIKE QUICKLY.

Everett, Wash-One of the most sue
cessful strikes has just reached con-
clusion in this city. The local electri-
clans for some time have been negotiat-
ing with the contractors for an increase
in wages up to point whereby the
heavy increased cost of living might be
met with an adequate wage. These ne
gotiations were not successful, and the
strike was called, which lasted only
short time. when practically all the shops
accedded to the demands of the strikers
The old scale was $4 a day. and the new
scale, which is now in effect, is S.. This
is one more evidence OF the value and
efficacy of the trade unions to secure for
their affiliates substantial benefit.

against bills that have been indorsed by
the brothernoods. The executive board
OF the state federation shortly will issue
a Ca to all unions in the state to make
the proposed legislation a special order

committees to wait on legislators. The
prospects for success were never bright

DARRoW ON TRIAL AGAIN.

Los Angeles.-Clarence Darrow, ac-
quilted few months ago of alleged jury
oribing in the Mcnamara case, is again
before the court to meet another charge
similar to the one of which he was ac-
quilted 1t is affirmed that the evidence
presented at the trial of which he was
acquitted will be used in the case now
on, and it is believed that the motives
promoting this trial can be ascribed to
desire of harassing Darrow on account
of his attitude toward labor in general
and not for the purpose of seeing that
the ends of justice are fulfilled.

of banknotes should therefore not he
made a liability of the government.
Such figures are no political or senti-
mental argument. but a serious warn
ing to the lawmakers not to impair
unnecessarily the credit OF the United
States. It further proves that under
such increased liability government de-
posits outside the Treasury will rather
decrease than increase. 1t is impos-
sible to count with 800 millions gov
banks as Senator owen figures it,"
Probably the business situation has
reached a point this week when rec
ognition Of the restrictions Of trade has
period. There is always a tendency
to put off the realizing sense of ad-
versity, especially when it comes grad
ually and is not attended with my SEN
sational movement. In the industrial
lines Of trade there appears to be
disposition toward recession. and the
future outlook does not promise i'm
mediate betterment. The Fourth Ma
tional Bank, in its monthly review,
however. does not admit that there is
anything in the present situation to
Justify the expectation of general
recession in trade. 1t says in part:
1T is probably true that American
industry was never better organized To
resist foreign competition than now.
II is evident also that foreign indus
tries in many instances have not the
facilities to produce the class of goods
demanded by American consumers. 1t
is possible they may he able TO comply
with these requirements later on, but
during the period Of preparation the
producers of the United States are
likely TO add to their facilities and to
make every effort to retain the trade
that they now have, which in all prob
ability they will be able TO do, except
in the few cases where the foreigners
arc for other reasons better prepared
to satisfy some special demand. 1t
will take time, Of course, to see just
what effect the reduced duties are like
ly 10 have upon general trade condi-
tions. This is because the influence Of
new tariff law is seldom discerned
until six months or a year have
elapsed. In some cases the influence
of such a change is anticipated, but
as a rule it takes several months TO
judge the effect Of the new competi-
ton, whatever it is. For these rca-
sons the developments of the next five
or six months are sure to be interest
ing, since a great many things are
likely to happen which will have an
important bearing upon the whole
business and financial outlook"

evidence that the early arrival Of cold

There IL a very general consensus OF
opinion that October distrlbutive trade
has fully equalled that OF the Ike month
q year ago, and I'm some Instances. IN
decd, has surpassed the records OF that
very favorable month OF 1912. In indus
trial lines the feature Is the further quiet
ing down Of demand for iron and Steel
with some lessening OF activity OF mills
and furnaces. There is also shown
quieting of activity In out-of-door pur-
suits consequent upon the projection OF
winter weather into an ordinarily mia
autumn month. There Is. therefore.
more quiet tone In industry generally, ana
there is possibly more idle labor than at
any time since last spring. In some cir
cles the effects OF tariff changes or or
currency bill uncertainties are credited
with some OF the quieting shown In larger
lines, but 1t Is noticeable that other mar
kets report the hrst-named cause without
much. N any, effect. II Is probable, in
deed, that close scrutiny OF credits as
well as scarcity of goods for immediate
delivery acts as a bar to freer selling by
first hands.
1t is probable that the booking OF
spring business has not been equal In all
lines to that secured year ago. but 1t
is evident. as In the case OF the shoe
trade. that manufacturers in this line are
looking forward with rather more conf
dence than they did q year ago Leather

"The Rosary" Rowland and Clifford's s

den Of Eden in which the serpent enters
in the form of rejected suitor. who
wrecks the home and happiness of a
married couple by playing upon the jeal-
ousy Of the husband. There is diffused
throughout the drama remarkable air of
purity, faith and hope from the opening

anniversary and surrounded by all the
creature comforts of modern civilization
to the last act when the twain broken

In the days of their prosperity they had

Easter Sunday was not observed at
the Green Lake Mills in the usual way,
for in the morning it was discovered
that there was break In the mill dam
along the east side of the flume. Help
was summoned from New London and
Spicer, and crew of about fifty men
volunteers worked hard to fill the break
which threatened to wash out the whole
dam. Bags of cement and sand and
loads of manure were thrown in to stop
the flow. The greatest difficulty encoun-
tered was the fact that the break was
under the frost line and the frozen crust
had to be chopped away in order that
the flowing water could be reached. BY
hard work the men succeeded in check
ing the water before further damage
was done to the mill property. The
water power is owned by S. c. Hillman
and Son who live nearby. Their loss
might have been greater had not there
been prompt action. 1t seemed that the
mischief was caused by a. break on the
side Of the flume.
1t Is said that large amount Of fish
followed the rushing waters from Nest
Lake into Green Lake.
