Middle Western Storm
Takes Rap at East

Chicago The cold wave that envel-
oped the East Central and West Cen
trail and Northwestern states vented
its fury in the extreme East.
The weather showed temperatures
as low as 20 in some of the New Eng
land states and Western New York.
Temperatures slowly rose in the Cen
trail West. Chicago's maximum We'd
nesday was 20, rise from the low
mark of five above zero. The sun
shone brightly and the fierce winds
abated.
Charitable associations were be-
sieged with pitiful appeals for food
and fuel. The long continued mild
weather left thousands unprepared for
the sudden cold, and they must be
carried along until conditions improve.
Announcement was made that the
steel mills at Gary would re-employ at
once 5000 idle employees. This will
lift a heavy load from the bread line
in Chicago.
Dispatches from Florida to COM
mission firms here indicate that the
freeze was not as extensive in the or
ange belt as had been expected. There
was little crop damage in the Palmet-
to state.

Coal Gained in Weight
Every Time Handled

San Francisco-Coal bought and sold
by the Western Fuel company became
heavier every time it was rehandled,
according to figures from the COM
pany's books, read in court by the
government. Eight directors and en-
ployes of the company are on trial un-
der charges of defrauding the govern
ment by obtaining undeserved customs
rebates.
An instance presented by the gov
eminent was the discharge of 8418
tons of imported coal into the steamer
Algoa in 1908. The coal remained
there 18 months and when it was
taken out it weighed, according to the
books, $50 tons more than when it went
in. From barges, the same coal was
loaded into American steamers, with
another jump in weight and on this
final weight the company collected a
customs rebate.
Edwin Powers, assistant superin-
tendent for the company, testified
that although only one in every Is
buckets was weighed, he never had
received instruction from the company
to make this 18th bucket heavier than
the others.

effect everywhere throughout | the
country where men are engaged in the
timber industry, its chief effect will
be in Western Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and British Columbia.
The international union claims 10, 600
members, Of which 2100 are said to be
in the Grays Harbor district.

New York, vice president Of the
United Shoe Machinery company, tes-

against the company, denied that he
had threatened any one in connection
with the proposed sale to the United Of

James M. Darragh, government
witness, had previously testified that
Col. Barbour in a conversation at New
York in April, 1900, said that he had
a large interest in the United Shoe
Machinery company and that he did
not propose to have it placed in jeop-
ardy by competition, and added:
"We always try to buy our COMPETE
tors. If we cannot buy them out we
force them out. If you don't sell out
we will crush you.'

RentOn Strike Broken;
Miners Back at Work

Seattle-The strike Of the coal min

Sound Traction, Light & Power COM
pany was called off, and the men will
be taken back as the company finds
places for them. Only 105 Of more
than 800 who struck Is months ago
remain in Renton. Half of these will
be given employment Immediately.
The men were organized BY the
United Mine Workers of America 10
months ago, and struck Immediately
for recognition of the union. The
company managed to man the mine
with strikebreakers, and the national
board of the mine workers, who had
been paying strike benefits, notified
the strikers recently that no more
money would be given to them.

Business Peace Wilson's
Idea of Government

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son gave the members Of the cabinet
his ideas on the governments relation
to big business, the field that anti
trust legislation should cover and the
spirit with which he believed the task
should be approached.
Peace and not war, q feeling of
friendly Cancellation rather than of
hostile antagonism and yet con-
structive programsthat will eliminate
uncertainty about the law and stimu-
late the growth of legitimate business
are the fundamentals Of the
Presidents plan of action, to be en-
bodied in the message which he will
read at a joint session of congress.
He presented the document to the
cabinet. Members of the cabinet
spoke of the message as a progressive
declaration that would reassure the
business world of the sincere inten-
lions of the administration to deal
fairly with it.

Compensation Act Little
Assistance to Employees

sory feature Of the Washington act.
"The operation of the law convinces
US, the commissioners state, "that
in order to have the harmonious, CO.
hesive support of the employer and
employee, all must come within its
provisions.
The report comments on the marked
increase in the number of accidents
reported during the second year. Dur
ing the first year under the law 1856
claims were tabulated; during the
second year, IL, $50.
This remarkable increase, the COM
mission states, is due primarily to two
cause.-the fact that the claims Of at
least two months of the first year
overlapped into the report for the sec
ond year, and the employment in haz-
ardous industries of at least $4,000
more men during the year just past.
However, the commission comments,
the results for the year demonstrate
''that Industrial hazard has, at least,
not been materially lessened."
The report indicates that a surpris-
ingly small percentage of the acct
dents could have been prevented by
installation of mechanical safeguards.
Class 10, including all operators in
the logging and lumber industry, is
made the subject of a special report
covering several pages. OF the A.

Olympia-That the employee, rather
than the employer, still bears the ma
ior share Of the loss from industrial
accidents, is shown by the second an
nual report of the industrial insurance
commission, which has just been is
sued.
In 1872 cases, regarded as typical,
in which the cost of medical treatment
was given, the following averages
have been compiled:
Average daily wage Of injured
workman, $3.12.
Average daily award under compen-
sation act, $1.35.
Average daily cost Of medical treat
ment during disability, SLIP.
Since the Washington law lacks a
first-aid clause, no provision is made
at present for bearing the cost of
medical attendance by the state, while
the state award for time loss averages
less than half the employees actual
loss.
Stating that the question Of the
sufficiency Of the award has been
seriously raised by the workmen, the
commission, in its foreword to the re-
port, says it will reserve any recon-
mendations for amendment Of the law
for the next annual report, which will
be submitted to the 14th Legislature,
and which will embody the experience
of the commission through greater
period of time.

Four Army Reforms Are
Outlined by Gen. Wood

Washington, D. C.-Four steps OF
vital importance, essential to place
the United States army in a state OF
reasonable preparedness for possible
war. were recommended to Secretary
Garrison by Major General Wood IN
his annual report as chief OF staif.
General Wood proposed:
Observation-Disclosures of a reserve
of trained men sufficient to bring the
regular army Immediately to full
statutory strength and to replace the
losses of the first three months of war.
Second - Prompt provision Of the
remaining AZ per cent of the field ar
tillery project, including guns as yet
unprovided for and the necessary am
munition for those now made or under
manufacture.
Third-Creation of the necessary
organizations to give three complete
tactical infantry divisions within the
continental limits of the United States.
Fourth Enactment of such person
al legislation as will eliminate effec-
lively the unfit and stimulate the eff
Gent officer to continued efforts
through establishing condition under
which progress in rank and command
will have a close and dependent rela.
tionship on capacity, fitness and accom-
plishment.
The establishment of the reserve
and the completion of the artillery
project, General Wood said, should be
carried out at once to avert disaster in
time of war. The shortage of ammu'
milton, he added, constituted a grave
danger, as the ammunition could not
be manufactured without great delay.
The tactical infantry divisions are
necessary to complete one field army
of about 70, 900 regular troops within
the continental limits of the United
States. This would mean field army
of about 10000 mobile troops in
population of more than 80, 900, 600.

The work Of caring for the hogs was

Spokane An example Of profit from
hogs is given by Clinton Bennett, q
farmer living a mile north 81 Ritz
vile, Wash, who fattened his ex-
chequer by $616 net, on an original
investment Of 1858.
A few months ago Bennett bought
SO hogs for 1868. He shipped them to
market in Spokane recently, and from
a strict account Of finances during the
growing and fattening period, he fig
