employees for making repairs about
the structure.
Tomlinson studied the report for a
day or two Then he entered into a
contract with Compton for a year.
Three months after that contract was
made, when he looked over Compton's
second quarterly report which showed
a saving of more than $4,000, he
turned over all six of his Office build
ings to him to supervise on the same
basis as the first one.
His Business Is Immense.
No one who enters Mr.. Compton's
Office today need hesitate about
breathing hard while in it for fear OF
straining the walls. He occupies a
whole floor in big downtown struc-
ture. He has scores of buildings I'M
der his charge. He has lot of ex-
perts assisting him who watch over
these buildings as physicians watch
over patients. There is not detail
about those great structures that does
not come within the exhaustive exam
nation of these men.
Compton has come to be one of the
largest buyers in New York His pur-
chases of coal total more than half
million tons year. His purchases of
oil aggregate nearly 1000 barrels. His
buying power is so great that he is
able to contract for supplies at a
comparatively low rate. He never
has deviated from the position he
assumed in the beginning stand
ing midway between the owner and
the employee. There are, more. con-
tent and better service with the elm
ination of graft and extravaganza.

their homes in Flatbush or the Bronx.
1t hurt him. too, to think that some
of the lubricating oil for which he
was paying $40 barrel was run into
the sewer because getting rid of a
barrel of oil meant 81 more commits
sion in the engineers pocket. What
hurt him most, however, was to real
ize that with all the money he was
spending he was getting such poor
service, that his own life had been i'm
periled by the falling of that elevator.
He was man Of impulse. He liked
Compton's looks, liked the way he
talked and like the way he had pre-
scented his case.
"1'll tell you what I'll do" he said.
'I'll put you in charge of that build
ing and allow you 25 per cent Of what
you save in the cost of operation
suppose I've got more cleaners, por
tiers, elevator operators, engineers,
firemen, oilers, watchmen and such
than are necessary. Now If you want
to take hold of this thing you ought
to make fair amount out of 1t.
Compton shook his head.
you have the wrong idea, Mr..
Tomlinson. You never will get proper
service or proper economy in that
building working on that basis. There
is only one way in which you and
can do business. If you wish me to
keep that building in condition I will
engage to give it my attention and
service. l will supervise your pur-
chases and I'll introduce system Of

Tomlinson. 81 am glad you made
that clear to me. My proposition was
wrong. have no doubt of your hon

Mr. Compton did not have an easy
time. No man has who takes cake
and pie away from gentlemen who
have been accustomed to feeding on
those dellcacies. There was threat of
a strike when the announcement was
made that he had supervision of the
building The engineers feelings
were outraged. He scorned dictation
and almost was violent in his Ian
guage about Mr. Compton.
But he was not violent when Mr..
Compton summoned him to his office.
Compton is mild voiced, but quite i'm
pressive. 1t did not take that engi-
neer two minutes to realize that there
could be no Juggling so long as Comp
ton was on the job.
The first three months showed a
saving of 5000 in the operation of that
office building 1t did not seem much,
as Compton explained to Mr.. Tomlin-
son, but it really did not represent
the real savings, for many Of the
items of supply had been contracted
for in advance on the graft rates.
There had been a reduction of nearly
200 tons of coal consumed and a
large proportionate reduction In the
use of oil There had been slight
increase in wages in one or two in

"You Were Cunning for Ballots When

son again told the suffragists OF the
United States that he could not help
them.
When 40C working girls, represent
ing ten states and more than so indus
tries, called at the White House the
president explained to them that he
could not take the initiative in en-
dorsng any legislation and that wom
an suffrage would have to be sup
ported by the Democratic party be-
fore he would express his views
upon it.
A sensational feature occurred when
Mrs. Glendower Evans of Boston viz
tually accused the president of du.
plicity in connection with the woman
suffrage movement. She told the
president that he had almost told the
suffragsts at Sea Girt that he ia
Vored the woman suffrage move
ment.
That Is what you told us when you
were cunning for votes" she said.
President Wilson laughed and said
he wasn't quite sure that he was gun
ming for votes. and lodged the in
quiry.
i can only speak for my party"
said the president.
When Mrs Evans fairly shouted at
him: What answer will you let us
take to the women who await out
side?' President Wilson merely con-
tented himself with saying that they
understood what his attitude and his
embarrassment were. Then he asked
that he might be allowed to meet all
the working women who were outside,
and closed the speechmaking.

men brought out that three American
