here was no trace Of partisan
ship in the Senator's address. When
lhe referred to public queations he

himself to everyone who heard him,
regardless Of their political affilia-
lions. 4 e.
s.ss He urged upon those present the
limp ortance 3 Of exercising greater
wat hfulness over public expendi-
lures, 4. and to help prevent some
stof the worst abuses Of the present
time, lie favored law giving the
Preside the power to veto items
in an appropriation bill. Under our

such power. He must either sign or
veto an appropriation bill in its en-
tirety. n 3sa5 IL Z. II. 3Sn1
IoWa's Junior Senator also be

the boundaries Of the country that
the foreign policy OF every admins

crying militarism, Senator Kenyon is
heartily in favor of making adequate
Preparations for peace. It could fair

Everywhere they have been kept at
the bottom SO 1ar. The worst jobs,
and only these, are fer them. But
still they are coming in every great
er numbers, and by slow degrees
they are pushing upward steadily,
inevitably as fato itself. Amid the
c1atter of their unintellig ton
CUES the few, and ever fewer, Eng
ish-spe aking foremen and skilled
workers feel as lonesome IS light
houses. And this chasm between
hostile castles Of workers serves, by
the way, to make. unionism addition
ally impossible. .s,.5
There used to be big money
fer the workers who handled iron
and steel. There Is still fairly good
money to be made by very few
OF them. But for Is years the cut
ting ct wages has betn going on
until today in many cases the best
workers make. less than half of
what they used to earn 1t has been
figured out that every hundred
workers in the steel mills and
blast furnaces includes 10 men who
make less than 81 a day, and only
two who make more than SIS in the
same time The. average daily wages
Of Allegheny County's 5000 blast
furnace men were found to be be-
low $3.50 in 1907. In October CT that
year the entire force Of 12-hour men
in the open-hearth department OF
the Homestead steel Works was
averaging $2.76 9 day. The highest
paid skilled workers in some of the
important branches CT the steel in
dustry are incapable of earning
more than 1918 a day. g., ..t,s'
T. '.The main thing asked OF TIE
worker is speed, or, maybe one
ought to say, speed without waste.
To the achievement Of this result
everything is adapted but, above
all, the wage schedules. The un-
derlying idea of the whole system IS
to get more out OF a man by paying
him less. It's fundamental rule IS
that il the man drives the machine
he is paid by piece; if the machine
drives him he is paid for time. A
trick constantly practiced Is to urge
the workers into exceeding their
previous capacity for the purpose OF
earning more and then to adapt the
wage rate to the new record IN cf-
der LnaL tNey udy WIN oLAii Nc.
to retain their old earnings. This
has proved one of the most effcc-
tive means of increasing the out
put. *
Among 10000 men employed in
the three largest plants Of the
United States steel Cooperation in
1907 there were 12O men working
only eight hours day. Among
the steel and iron workers the 12-
hour day is practically law now, so
that, for instance, there were only
ninety-three 10-hour men to che
thousand five hundred and seven
teen 12-hour men at the Homestead
Steel Works in 1907.
"This law slightly modified -
and modified largely for the worse

week, all the year through. Neither
Sundays nor holidays exist for

THE WORLD WIDE WAR TRUsn:

From Remarks Of Clyde H: Tayenner.
The concerns comprising the arm
or ring are notorious as being among
the most bitter enemies OF organic
ed labor in tile United States, and
reports following investigations OF
conditions in the plants reveal that
they are cruel and inhuman in their
treatment Of unorganized labor. Is
this language too strong? The find
ings CT the Investigating committees
themselves will afford the best an
swer to this query.
A survey of living conditions In
Pittsburg was made in 1909 by the
Sage Foundation under the direction
of especially qualified Investigators,
who collected their material, at first
hand in the mill and in the home.
It had from first to last the hearty
support of such prominent citizens
of Pittsburg as Mayor George W..
Guthrie, President. D. w. English,
of the Civic Improvement Commits
sion; Judge Joseph Burlington, of the
United Stftes circuit court, and
w. H. Matthews, CT the famous
Kingsley House. w. -.

gathered by the foundation and pre-
scented it's findings in condensed

New Haven. Nov. 11-Charles Al bert Heaton of this city, who received only s1 by the will of his wife, Mrs Jeannie Hamilton Heaton, took the first step in an effort to break her will in the Surrogates' Court yesterday.

ANTT-TOXTN WILL BE
 FREE ONLY TO POOR

Attorney General Hinnan yesterday expressed the following opinion to Dr.
 Townsend, secretary of the state board of health. relative to the d1str1- button of diphtheria and tetanus anti toxins to hospitals. The opinion is as follows:
 | Dear Sir-You ask my opinion as ta
 the duty of the state board of health in regard to furnishing to hospitals diphtheria and tetanus anti-toxin pro cured under the provisions of Cahpter 161 of the Public Acts of 1911 as amended by Chapter 139 of the Public Acts of 1915.
 Said act authorizes the state board of health to procure said anti-toX1n
 'tfor the free use of the people of the state upon whom the purchase thereof would impose. a financial hardship and to distribute the same to town, city and borough health officers, who shall furnish the same to such persons upon recommendation of the attending physicians The duty of furnishing these anti-toxins to individuals is thus imposed upon the local health officer, and he is to determine as to whether the person recommended by the at tending physician to receive the same is so circurnstanced that to purchase it would impose a financial hardship. As to his duties under the act, the To- |
 cal health officer should be guided by the advice of the county health officer for the county.
 It is quite evident, however, that the 1 law, as amended, cOntemplates that
 each individual case shall be passed upon on it's own merits, and that anti | toxin should not be furnished to any person who is Financially able to pur- chase the same without privation. Ii l is not, in my Judgment, contemplated
 that any hospital should receive a
 supply of such anti-toxin for free use i in all cases coming under it's care, ir-
 respective of whether the patient or
 those responsible for his care and treatment are financially able to pur- 1 chase the same, but that it should be l furnished for only such patients as are 1 found by the local health officer, upor consideration of each individual case to be, because of the financial circum-
 stances of each such patient and those on whom he is dependent, beneficiar- ies within the intent of the law.
