THAT the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill including the exemption
clause which was the cause OF
president Taft's veto. last March. viii
pass at the present session Of congress
and that the fight viii then center up
on the passage Of the Bacon-Bartlett
bill which provides for the permanent
exemption of labor from the terms of
the anti trust law was the statement
of Frank Morrison. secretary Of A. T.
Of l. The Federation officials regard
the battle for the appropriation of h
bill as practically won, particularly in
view OF the fact that president Wilson
has come out strongly in favor Of it.
One reason for Mr.. Wilson's stand,
upon which emphasis has not yet been
placed, is the declaration Of the Dem
Ocratic party, that there should be
no abridgment of the right Of wage
earners and producers to organize for
the protection Of wages and improve
OF labor and their members

In the belief that American educa-
tional methods might benefit by the
knowledge, the federal bureau Of edu-
cation has issued a bulletin on the
constitution school, system Of Ger
many, which trains working boys in
h useful trades after they have been
compelled TO take employment. At
tendance in these schools is made com
pulsOry for a period of three years,
wherever the general government aids
in their support According to the bu-
reau, all classes OF trades are taught,
together with the useful occupations.
The information was gathered by Tho
bureau through United States cOnsuls
in Germany and represents the work
of many months The continuation
school" it was said, was supported
mainly by the municipalities. in many
cases with state aid In some cities
employers are compelled by Law to
permit their young employees to attend
classes for several hours a week with
out loss of pay.
The educational classes are not con
fined to the trades, however, many
cOnsuls reporting that instruction
looking to the betterment of the
youths as citizens was included in the
curricula of a number Of the schools.
These included studies in civic affairs,
Grade history and community welfare

right For Union Reeoenition.

Mems garment workers who have been
on strike several weeks in Boston,
Mass, held a meeting to act on the
latest offer from the manufactures.
This offer reduced their hours OF labor
and advanced their pay 81 a week. but
il did nOt provide for any recognition
Of the union. The strikers rejected il
because OF its failure to recognize them
as a union. The union BARRIERS in
Boston voted tO-shave the strikers and

VOL Accidents Reduced.

Since the WOrkiHEmen's compensation
and employers liability act went into
effect in Michigan. a little more than
six months ago. the average number
OF fatal accidents to employees Of
persons, firms, partnerships and cor
poratiOns has decreased from two a
day to three every two days. This
means a decrease of IS percent. The
average number on nOnfatal accidents
among the same class OF employees
has decreased from 100 a day to 65.
These figures are furnished by the
state Industrial board, and are based
on the fatalities and nOnfatal acct
dents occurring to the employees OF more
han 1000 employers of labors. from the
largest railroad. manufacturing and
mining companies down to the small
shops where the pay roll does not eN-
a few hundred dollars weekly

Not Worth Minimum WaEe.

Prof. J. Laurence LaugnIin, head il
the department Of Political Economy at
the University OF Chicago, attacked
the movement for minimum wage
legislation for women as unsound and
directly opposed to the best interests
of women workers in an address on
the subject. Monopoly Of Labor" at
the University.
In all this agitation for a minimum
wage for women, which is serving to
give much political notO~iety, there is
no connection between labOr wages
and producing power. says professor
Baughlin. The chief idea of the
sponsors Of the movement is that
wages shOuld be based on what the
recipient needs to live properly.
But the facts OF daily life show that
girls who are not actually worth the
minimum wages, let US say
would not be employed. The true and
immediate remedy for low wages for
girls is the creation of institutions for
industrial training. thus Increasing the
earning power OF the girls and con-
serving their wages"

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. March "a


COMPLEMENT OF OFFICERS LACK
ING.--It has been found difficult TO main
tain the reserve fleet Of naval vessels Al
the Philadelphia Navy Yard in that state
Of readiness contemplated by the late
administration. This is largely due to the
lack of officers to supervise the work Of
training and 10 maintain the equipment
In such shape as 10 make IL possible 10
have the vessels ready for active service
within forty~eight hours after an emer-
gency call. There is also difficulty in OBJ
tanning enlisted men. To maintain the
full complement OF men ON these ships
would draw too heavily on the enlisted
kforce needed for the active ships of the
tfeet
II has been decided, therefore, to re
duce the enlisted force of the reserve yes
sells and retain only such as are neces-
sary to keep the ships in condition When
these vessels are required for service en-
listed men will have To be drawn from
other vessels on the active list, as in the
case Of the Montana and the Tennessee.

PURSUES ACTRESS
QUARTER CENTURY
AND MARR|ES HER
Baron, After Love Affair
Started Thirty Years Ago,
Is Bridegroom.

STOCKHOLM. Jan. "a wedding for
which the principals had waited thirty
years, the elimination of a romance in
which almost all Stockholm took the
liveliest interest, occurred today when
BARON Axel own Taras led to the altar
Hella Gyllstrom, who a generation ago
was Sweden's most popular actress.
In 1882 the baron saw the actress.
then beautiful young girl. on the stage
here. He fell in love with her, pro-
posed and was accepted. His parents
made the most violent protest, threat
ening to disinherit him and closed their
doors to the actress.
Deeply hurt, Hella Gyllstrom disap-
reared from Stockholm. Six years later
the baron's parents died and he immedi-
ately set out to find his former fiancee.
Cp and down the world he Travelled,
visiting every large city, searching
theaters and dramatic agencies. For
tw enty-four years his search was in
vain. and then, several weeks ago. he
found 'Hella Gyllstrom white haired,
but still beautiful woman, in Melbourne,
Australia. He proposed again and was
accepted and they came here &c be
married.

POST LIKE
A GROCERY STOR[!!
DOG NEAT MAILED

More than 10000 yardsticks will be
sent out of Washington by parcel post
during inauguration week. This Will
constitute by far the greatest test to
which the service has been subjected
locally, and officials are wondering just
how their system will bear up under
the extra pressure.
The yardsticks will be given away
by certain advertisers in the city. and
there will be space on each one for an
address and a stamp. 1t Is presumably
the biggest scheme for publicity YET
projected tor inauguration week.
The first iron chain. bulky piece
OF metal, unwrapped. and weighing
nearly nine pounds, was presented Tor
shipment at the parcel post window to-
day, Yesterday there was strong run
on musical instruments and millinery:
A violin, a mandolin, two derby hats,
and a silk hat were sent out from the
local office. So far the amount OF per-
ishable food stuffs, for either delivery
or shipment, has not been nearly SO
large as YVES expected.
when il Is generally understood that
scores of articles which are solid and
not breakable can be sent by parcel
post without wrapping" said a most
office official this morning. I'VE believe
the manufacturers of the country will
patronize the service almost exclusively,
There is a slight tendency on the part
of the public that the new service Is
hedged about with great deal Of red
tape and Formally. This is not the
case, however" y
Flowers and candy are running
strong" at the parcel post window at
the local post office. Goldfish, dog meat,
fruit cake. cut glass, oysters, medicine.
butter. and paint have also figured In
the shipments.

NORFOLK, Va. Jan. e-Waterfront
men are today discussing With interest
how seven persons, two of them little
children and one q woman. fought thir-
ty-six hours for their lives through a
severe northwest storm, when the two
masted schooner, Hester A. Walters, o.
Baltimore. went TO the bottom of Chesa-
peake bay, as told by Capt T. F.
Wright, master of the schooner
In the cabin, where everything was
awash, Mrs Wright. wife of the master.
and her two children spent two nights
and day. expecting the wrecked vessel
to go to pieces every minute.
Captain Wright and his crew of three
men stood in the freezing water, which
came up to their hips, holding the wom-
an and children in the boats above the
food.
In the cabin Mrs. Wright tried to COM
fort the frightened children.
Soon after sunrise Saturday morning
a passing vessel saw the distress signal
and took the women, children, and men
off
