THEY DID HIM


They pulled the wool over his eyes
and tweaked his nose. They bought
the ground from under his feet.
They gave him the tarred end of the
stick: They made monkey of him.
That's what those steel trust, tariff
fostered infants did to Uncle Sam,
quietly and plenty, as is now shown
in the governments suit against the
United States Steel Corporation.
And they've got high-class evidence
to prove that they did it perfectly le-
Ultimately.
When, in the early nineties, those
steel sharps wanted to form a pool
to fix prices, regulate output and di-
vide profits that is, to commit rob
berry in a gentlemanly fashion-they
consulted an eminent lawyer as to
how far they could go and avoid jail.
They were afraid of the Sherman
antitrust legislation, particularly.
So they consulted United States Sen
ator Geo. F. Hoar of Massachusetts.
In the Senate Hoar had helped John
Sherman frame and pass that anti
trust law and he was attorney for
one of the steel concerns over at
Worcester, Mass.
They took their thieves plans to
the right man. Hoar gave them a
written opinion to the effect that
they could not be convicted under
that law. Thereupon, with their le-
gal and moral bill of health, from
nice old Mr.. Hoar, from whose I'M
timely passing to fairer and better
world Massachusetts has hardly yet
fully recovered, they formed their
pool under which they have been
skinning the people for nearly 20 |
years. The frankness and complais- !

A STORY BOUT TEA.
"Ah me" once cried an old Ner-
man peasant, my coffee-afteF the
sweet Jesus-is my salVationw Tea
plays the same part in England. /
believe it was Max O'RelI who wrote
cit is when John Bull drinks his tea
very hot in tiny sips, nibbling a bit
Of bread and butter that he is really
beautiful and edifying."
Tea was drunk in China away
back in 618, but it was not until 1900
that the English first began to use
it and then the price ranged from
thirty to fifty dollars a pound. That
old humbug Pepys was one of the
first to sample the new drink and
frequently quotes in his diary that
ION the 25th September 1860 l did
send for a cup of tee, a China drink,
of which | never had drunk before"
AS the 18th century progressed,
the use of tea in England rapidly
increased and in 1886 the first British
grown tea was raised in Assam, and
forty years later the disastrous eff
fects of the coffee-leaf disease forced
planters to give serious attention to
tea in Ceylon, with the result that
tea now takes first rank in the COM
merce of the island. Tea drinking
seems to be becoming more popular
in America every year, and the u. S.
is now the third largest consumer of
this product, the United Kingdom be-
ing first and Russia second.

ENTIRE GARMENT INDUSTRY OF MIDDLE WEST
THREATENED WITH TIE-UP


All preparations were begun today
to take a general strike vote of the
$4,000 garment workers of Chicago.
1t is expected that the vote will be
finished before the end of the week,
and the count announced early next
week.
1t seems certain, from the temper
of the workers, that the vote will be
practically unanimous for strike.
If this should prove true, it will
mean that the entire garment indus
try Of the Middle West will be tied up
within the next few weeks.
The strike, if it come, will be
greater than the one of two and a
half years ago and much more GER
tain of victory. Indeed, it will be
almost as certain that the Chicago
workers will win as it was that the
New York ones should win in their
recent strike.
This is the beginning of the heavy
fall season in the garment trade, and
all factories are rushed to the limit
to fill their orders. They cannot af-
ford to keep closed down for any
length of time.
The victory at New York and Phil
adelphia has thoroughly organized
the trade in most Eastern cities, so
that the manufacturers will find
themselves unable to get their work
done at factories there, even if these
factories were not too busy with
their own work.
The garment workers here feel
that they have been very badly
treated by the bosses Shat is why it
seems certain that their vote will be
to strike.
A meeting Of the joint board of the
unions was held at 81 West Quincy
street last night The tactics of the
bosses to prevent the unions getting
foothoId were fiercely denounced.

method of pretending to be friendly
to the unions, while at the same time
secretly working against them.
1t was after this that the decision
to take a general strike vote was
made, and the need of immediate ac-
ton pointed out.
Polling places for various shops
were arranged for today. and the
voting has begun already.

DR., MARY WALKER
IS ARRESTED FOR
WEARING TROUSERS
Chicago Policeman Nabs Aged
Suffragette, But She Is Soon
Given Her Freedom.

DR.. Mary Walker. who Ia a familiar
figure on the streets of Washington,
and who has worn trousers for a longer
time than most men can remember, has
been arrested for wearing 'em. The
arrest was made In Chicago yesterday
by Officer Cleary, Of Chicagos Finest
Today Cleary is contemplating the
vicissitudes of fate and fortune, but he
still wears his uniform.
DR.. Walker. who Is eighty-three years
old, had started from the home of
friends with whom she was staying yes
teTday, for her usual constitutional. AT
the corner of West Sixty-first and Wal
lace streets Officer Cleary saw her, and
his sense of outraged decency overcame
him. He pulled" the venerable suffra-
gette and. despite her protests, carried
her to the police station.
At the station DIR. Walker, who took
the whole matter as a joke, convinced
the desk sergeant that she had a right
10 wear 'em, and was promptly re-
leased.
Dr. Walker first began wearing
trousers during the civil war. when she
gained the gratitude of the Government
r nctinp as a nurse In the army hos
pitals. After the war she decided to
vonlinue wearing them, and after she
had got into trouble a number of times
in States where the wearing Of trousers
by a woman is a misdemeanor, Congress
passed a resolution allowing her to wear
mans attire.
DIR. Walker Is noted for her eccentrici-
ties. One of her best known acts was
her offer to sell her index finger to a
woman for money enough to establish
a hospital. The offer was refused, but
no one doubted that DR.. Walker was
sincere In II.

refusal of Police Commissioner George
CreeI to resign, are the latest develop
ments of a political quarrel which has

commissioners. during VIII ch each

Then Mayor Arnold demanded the res
ignation of McGrew. II was given, and
he demanded that Creel either resign or

week on a charge of pursuing a weak
and vacillating policy In the police de-
partment-

dent McGauran, of the board of city
supervisors, at a meeting of the board,
