Cent increase to Men.

Du Pont Company Distributes 20 Per
Cent increase to Men.
Following the recent action of the Du
Pond Powder company in granting an
increase of 20 per cent to all workmen
on the payroll at the various plants
throughout the country, announcement
was made by Pierre S. du Pont, the
president, of an increase In the shape
Of a cash bonus to the amount of 20
per cent to all employees on the sal
aried list.
$1,000 men and will mean an addition
al expenditure Of $2,000,000. The bonus
just allowed will affect about $500 per-
sons In the United States. Chile and
London.
The notice says the bonus will be
given to all of our active salaried en-
ployees except members Of the execu-
tive committee, the president and vice
presidents"
The primary reason why the bonus
was decided upon by the executive
committee was because Of the good re-
suits that have been achieved by the
receBt increase granted to payroll work
men. The present order went into ef-
feet April l. The bonus will be paid
May l and will continue throughout
the remainder OF this year at least.

GOVERNMENT PUTS
THOUSANDS TO WORK
Federal and State Employment
Bureaus Report Success.
The employment bureaus recently or

The employment bureaus recently Or
ganiZed by the federal and state gov
ernments have made successful prog
ress, according to the reports filed by
the heads of these organizations
Thousands of men and women former
ly unable to obtain employment of any
kind have found positions waiting for
them on making applications. In view
of the fact that the work of the two
bureaus has not yet been systematized
on a nation or state wide basis the re-
suits so far accomplished are consid-
cred all the more satisfactory.
The first report made in connection
with the operations Of the federal en-
ployment bureau, which was inaugural
ed by the department of labor in CO.
operation with the agricultural and
postoffice departments, shows that dur
ing the months of February and March
1,245 persons were put to work through
the governments agents.
Reports from field agents engaged In
the employment work are reaching the
department of labor daily from every
section of the country
More than 10000 applicants for work
registered at the New York state labor
departments employment bureau up
to April |, according to the statement
issued recently by Commissioner
Lynch. Out Of this number over 1000,
or more than % per cent received DO
sitions. OF the number that have ap-
piled for work since the bureau was
established 13,4S0 were males, and Of
the number that were sent out to work
2,546 were men and 1,764 were wo-
men. The majority OF those who ap-
Piled for work sought positions In the
metal and machinery trades, while
building and construction came next,
followed by domestic and personal
service and professional in the order
named.
Since the state employment bureau
mas been opened there have been calls
for BASS workers from 300 employ
ers The greatest demand was for
domestic and personal service, the to-
tai being 1872 There were 4O2 calls
from the metal and machinery trades,
800 calls for farm help and requests
were made for 345 workers in the
building and construction industry.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.

importance OF ms BODY TO the Wei
fare of All Workers.
The American Federation of Labor
has grown in thirty-four years from
a membership of less than 10000 to a
membership OF more than 2O0O,O0O
Its average membership last year was
2,O20,671. The average American fam
lily Is usually reckoned at five mem
bers. This would make the total mum
ber OF persons dependent on the earn.
ings Of organized labor about 10000
600.
One person in every ten In our coun-
try is intimately interested in the pros
perity or welfare of organized labor.
Moreover, outside the organized trades,
In occupations which 1t has not been
possible to unionize. there are millions
of workers whose wages and condi-
tions of work are indirectly influenced
by the conditions that have been Sc.
cured In the organized trades.
The Importance of this united body
OF workers and voters is apparent even
to those shortsighted persons who are
opposed to a democratic influence in
industry. The policies of the Fedora
tion of Labor are good deal more
important to US than the policies OF
Great Britain or Germany. If 1t helps
to solve the great problem of peaceful
industrial development, as 1t surely Is
doing. 1t Is worth sympathetic and
broadminded study. - San Francisco

SHIP CANALS.
Each Has Troubles of Its Own That
Require Constant Care.

Leave any ship canal alone for even
year and it would no longer be fit for
navigation. Within five years small
boat would be unable to go through it.
The United States has anXieties over
the Culebra cut in the Panama, but not
more so than the Germans over their
waterway, the Kiel canal, for the
ground through which the latter is cut
Is In most places nothing but peat
rotten black stuff which keeps on
breaking up and falling back into the
canal
Also the bottom continually bumps
up" thus lowering the depth of the
passage. The craft that use the Kiel
canal have to crawl along They say
that if a cruiser We're to make dash
through at top speed ii would take a
year and several millions Of money to
remedy the damage done by her stern
wave.
Each canal has its own special trou-
bles. That of the Panama is land
slides. Many have taken place during
its construction Many more will have
to be dealt with in coming years. 1t is
estimated that if the dredging work on
the SueZ were abandoned within less
than ten years the Turks or any one
else could cross 1t dryshod. On both
sides of the canal stretch miles Of dry
desert, from which every wind that
blows lifts the sand in edeing spirals
and carries it in great clouds. A sin
gle storm may drop Il thousand tons of
sand into one mile of the canal
OF late years a great quantity of
trees have been planted along the
banks in order TO prevent the sand
from drifting into the water. yet even
SO great steam dredgers are always at
work scooping from the bottom the
blown In sand and dumping 1t along
the shore. Another trouble of those in
charge of the Suez canal is caused by
fresh water springs which burst up in
its deep bed and pile the sand in ridges.

ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY.

We owe it to our ancestors to

which they have delivered to our
care-we owe it to our posterity
not to suffer their dearest inher-
itance to be destroyed. But if 1t
were possible for us to be in
sensible Of these sacred claims,
, there is yet an obligation bind
ing upon themselves, from which
} nothing can acquit us-a personal
interest, which we cannot sur
render To ALLEVIATE even our
own rights would be a crime as
much more enormous than sui
, eide as life of civil security
and freedom is superior to a
, bare existence, and if life be the
bounty of heaven we scornfully
} reject the noblest part of the
gift IL we consent to surrender
that certain rule of living with
out which the condition of hui
