by Survivors of Pickett's
Heroic Brigade.

thousands of veterans left the uncer-
tain joys of camp life behind and
started for home. their going made lit.
tie difference in the appearance of the
battlefield camp today, for thousands
CT others were on hand to participate
in tho exercises of Governors day. On
both sides Of Confederate avenue the
tents were still alive with veterans
and the lines before the cook tents did
not seem to the cooks to have lost an
inch, although the number that has

minds of those who saw that so far as
the men have gathered here are con-
cerned the war has ceased to be a
source of hatred and rancor.
One of the events of today was the
charge Of the survivors of Pickett's
division on the bloody angle '' held by
the remnants OF the Philadelphia
brigade.
Under the hot sun the men in gray
marched across the field that has not
seen anything more warlike than a
blacksnake in fifty years, up to the
walls that form the angle. The
enemy" In blue was waiting with
weapons ready and when they met
across the wall they shook hands.
Afterward they looked over the great
site for a $250,0Q0 monument they
hope to have congress erect there.

INLAND
HAS NEW
WAGE SCALE

I.aborers at the Inland Steel com
pany's mill in Indiana Harbor are re-
joicing over a voluntary raise of their
wages by the company from seventeen
to nineteen and one half cents an hour.
This is an increase of almost fifteen per
cent.
The increase is not to stop with the
laborers, but is to be applied to every
department of the big plant. The exact
amount of the raise in the other de-
partments has not yet been decided.
The policy of the Inland mill has
made 1t popular institution with
worlxmen. In the FIRST place the mill
has always been generous in the mat
ter of salary, and it has established a
reputation for generosity with its men,
In the second place, it takes care of its
men a great deal better than most
plants, during slack times. Its policy
is to keep it's men together. and the
large number of its departments makes
II possible for it to do SO. where mills
whose operations are not along such
a variety of lines. are less able to do
this.
The Inland mill is expecting &c put in
extensive improvements in the inn
mediate future. Just what the nature
OF these improvements Is not known.
but they alone will furnish employment
for a large number of men for ex-
tended period. The work they have
under contemplation is construction
work.
