SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. IA
When Jesse w. Lilienthal succeeded
Patrick Calhoun as president OF the
one time notorious United railroads
of San Francisco, he began the In
auguration OF reforms for the better
ment OF the conditions OF the en-
ployes OF the road that has placed this
company in the front ranks Of those
who care for the health and happi
ness Of its employees.
Before Lilientha took charge the
United Railroads was cordially hated
by the public and the employees. 1t
was, and Is now, heavily burdened
with watered stock. Lilienthal imme-
diately set about making the relations
between the employees and the COM
pany more friendly. His frat step
was the inauguration Of loan society.
financed by the company and oper-
ated by It not for profit but for the
sole purpose Of keeping the men out
OF the hands OF the loan sharks. This
Is successful. The men who need
money pay a low rate OF interest for
short term loans. Wages have been
increased and bonuses offered for the
best record In the operation OF cars
without accident. The latest move is
the encouragement offered the en-
ployes TO own their own homes. This
is made possible through co-opera-
tive building society organized by
the men themselves with the con-
sent and assistance OF the company.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-"When l

something like that, don't buy meat
for weeks at time"
This little sentence from the testi-
mony OF girl clerk In New York
department store is full OF meaning
as the reflection of How the other
half lives" IL was told to the New
York state factory investigating com
mission, and was one OF many eye
opening statements, statements which
brought home TO many OF Manhattan 5
citizens the fact that all the suffering
in the world is not in Europe today.
"You see yourself that the only
thing left me TO economic on Is

One young woman of 81 years spent
her vacations, one week every year,
in her skylight bedroom-just one OF
those rooms which O'Henry describes
resting up after a years grind. But
the pathetic note was added by the
hurried down TO the store every morn
ing during her vacation" to see that
some one else had not been given her
job
There was one girl who found an
ingenious way TO buy new suits or
clothes for herself, which she did by
the process OF elimination. She elimi-
mated one, and sometimes two. meals
a day. When II was not necessary 10
buy new clothes she paid 10 cents for
her breakfast, 10 cents for her lunch,
and then % cents for real banquet
in the evening.
The testimony OF two Buffalo WON
en- was interesting. One OF them said
that she lived two or three days on a
little cold ham and can OF beans.
Another, young widow living In
questionable district, works for
wage OF SO a week clerking, and has
little room in lodging house not
far from Buffalos red light district.
The lights are not yet red where she
lives, but she said. The lights are
getting pinker every year.
In a few cases the Salamander type
OF girl, the type made famous by
novelist OF the day, exists among the
shop-girls. But Il Is the Salamander

Well, the substance of the testimony
was that the state factory commits

well Skeel, jr., Mrs. Marie Orenstein
and others, showed that out OF total
OF 104, 900 wage-earners investigated
by the commission, one-eighth earn
less than So a week; one-third less
than 81; two-thirds receive $40 OF

We are showing a large range very beautiful Chalelaine and Hunting Case Watches with the finest Swiss and American rnovem ents, which we guarantee to be every whit as reliable as their bullxier brethren. Some are of wafer-thinness with gilt or silver dials.

Other occupants Of the car helped him to arise and get back into the automobile, and MT. Carroll drove in haste to pr. Thomas F.

such conditions of industrial tyrany.
 in addition to problems arising from feudal ownership of land, the mine operators have assumed police power. They employ armed mine guards to maintain their regulati ons and to guard mine property. In times of industrial peace, the mine guards serve as police and prevent .'undesir- able persons from trespassing upon the land of the mining companies. The elastic term trespass has been inter preted to mean all manner of organiz- ing activities. In times of industrial disputes the mine guards are increased and more heavily armed. These con ditions beget violence and industrial disputes in many of these districts are now practically civil war.
 The use of armed troops by mine operators and the power resulting from ownership or large tracts of con- uguous territory and the subversion of civil government to military rule are some of the most serious of mod ern industrial problems. We recom- mend and urge that the various state federations of labor endeavor to secure legislation prohibiting this brutal practice which is subversiVe of all in dustria1 justice and freedom"
