Steel Workers Get Raise.

A voluntary increase in wages which
will average about 10 per cent has
been granted the 1900 employees of
the Bethlehem Steel company The
increase went into effect Aug. /. The
monthly payroll Of the local company
is now about million and a quarter.
1t is believed that the Bethlehem Steel
corporation will take similar action
with its subsidiary plants, the Union
Iron works, San Francisco; Fore River
shipyards, Quincy, Mass; Harlan 81
Hollingsworth, Wilmington, Del, etc.
The increase is expected to quiet what
ever unrest among the workmen there
may have been and also to attract
skilled mechanics, some 1000 more be-
ing needed.

THE FIRST TELEGRAM.
II Was Not the Famous Message Sent
by Morse's Daughter.

IL Was Not the Famous Message Sent
by Morse's Daughter.
Iidden away in the archives OF the
Tennessee Historical society at Nash
vile is the account of the first actual
message ever sent over telegraph
line. That dispatch differs materially
from the solemn message that passed
over the wire between Washington
and Baltimore in the year 1914. 1t IL
lustrates WELL however, the lack of
seriousness with which Mr.. Morse's s
invention was taken when he first Of
fered it to the world.
According to the account preserved
at Nashville, Hon. Robert l.. Caruthers
of Lebanon, Tenn, was a member of
Congress in 1S43, and member Of
the committee to which was referred
Mr. Morse's application for an appro-
priation to build a telegraph line from
Washington to Baltimore Most of the
members of the committee looked
upon Morse as visionary, and his pro-
posal as impracticable.
On the last day Of the session Morse
went to the committee room and told
Them that he had stretched wire to
the top Of the capitol building and
had young man up there. If they
would write 4 message he would send
it up, and the young man would bring
them copy of it. None of them be-
lieved it could be done. Judge Caruth-
ers, however, pulled the envelope of a
letter out of his pocket and wrote a
message Mr.. Morse, who had his in
strument with him, sat down and sent
the message. In a few minutes the
young man walked into the room with
an exact copy Of the message. The
committee reported favorably, and rec
commended the appropriation.
The bill passed just before the ad-
journment. Some one went to Mr..
Morse's boarding house to inform him
that the appropriation was made. The
daughter of the landlady went to Mr..
Morse's room, walked him and gave
him the welcome news. He said to
her, 'My daughter, you shall send the
first message that goes from Washing
ton to Baltimore" That promise was
fulfilled when she sent the famous
message: What hath God wrought"
Judge Caruthers was an ardent
Whig, and in 1S43 the Wings were
very angry with President Tyler,
whom they accused of betraying the
party. The message that Judge Ca
ruthers sent from the committee room
to the young man at the top of the
Capitol was, Tyler deserves to be
hanged. youths Companion.

A Iudne,s Decision.

Under the arbitration laws of Aus
tralia courts have the power to order
that preference be given unionists by
employers. In recent case Judge
Cussen Of the arbitration court ruled
Il give preference to unionists in this
case because | ain convinced that the
man who gives a considerable portion
of his time each week and a consider
able portion of his earnings each week
to try to improve the conditions il
which he lives is justly entitled tc
more consideration than the man who
remains outside and will not give 8
portion of his time or a fraction of his
money to better the conditions of him
self and those who are dependent upon
his earnings"

says:
Ever since the enactment of the La

that flag can be shown in alien waters
only at the cost of the hideous injus-

RIGHTS OF EMPLOYERS.

In the course of a recent ad-
dress before the Central Labor
; union of Meriden, Conn, Samuel
Gompers said
Men must learn that employ
ers have some rights. If you
will investigate you will find
that strikes oftener are caused
by unorganized or recently or
ganiZed labor. In the latter case
the workers suddenly think
themselves all powerful and
imagine employers have no
rights. Avoid strikes. The right
to strike is of paramount impor-
tance, not the exercise of that
right.
In this country, when the war
is over, thousands Of workers
will be thrown out of employ
ment because of the cutting off
Of the present artificial market
for the necessaries of life as well
as for the implements of war
Labor organizations should pre-
pare for this condition.

DUTY OF UNIoNISTs.

The principles of unionism
must become the principles of
the life Of a true trade unionist,
for they are founded upon funda-
mental concepts of justice. He
must think unionism, feel it, live
1t, bring it into the lives of those
with whom he works, for union
ism Is human welfare. He must
read, study, talk, act, for the
cause of unionism.
This Is a question that must
come home to the consciences of
all those who labor. Are you do
ing your part?
Are you able to defend the
cause of labor. to explain its
principles, or do you avoid dis
cussions because you have not
prepared yourself IL maintain
your position?
Let each member OF organized
labor and every labor organiza-
tion take up the intensive work
OF labor forward movement for
America.-Samuel Gompers.

PINCHOT BACKS LABOR.

Industrial AbsoIutsm Rules by Brute
Force, He Says.
Labor and the Future" was the SUBJ
ject of an address by Amos Pinchot Of
New York at labor mass meeting
held recently at Denver The meeting
was held as a protest Of the convic-
ton Of John Lawson Of the United
Mine Workers.
Mr.. Pinchot said he was not an apos-
tie of labor and really belonged to the
"other camp" His address was filed
with denunciation of the methods of
certain employers.
Industrial absolutism," he said,
'ushers in a reign of blood and horror
and turns to the world and cries. How
long, o Lord, will labor raise the
sword and perish by the swordP The
unlawful violation Of the strikers
rights or liberties to a point beyond
endurance has become trump card
that is almost invariably played to di-
vert the controversy from the real is
sue.
IF the great employers of labor in
Colorado had even brief sparkle of
vision or imagination they would see
by the conviction of John Lawson that
they have gone too far. They are SOW
ing the wind In trying to bind down
labor by brute force without regard to
justice absolutism is weaving a rope
of sand which will part even before
it is securely in place"
Mr.. Pinchot also said that in the Col
orado act authorizing the appointment
of a special judge to try the miners
cases land the selection of a Colorado
Fuel and Iron company partisan the
full height of hypocritical unfairness
has been reached"

OUR OLD LIBERTY BELL.
Text From Which the inscription 1t
Bears Was Taken.

SV0io Wv as 6hCUs
For fifty years after that July day in
1776, when the old bell rang out it's
memorable message, it continued to be
rung on every festival and anniyer-
sary. 1t was rung on Feb %, 1882, in
honor of the centennial of the birth of
Washington. While being tolled on
the morning of July s, 1885, in mem
ory of Chief Justice Marshall, who had
died two days before, the old relic sud
denly cracked. On Washington's birth
day. 1843, an attempt was made to
ring it, but the bell has since been
mute.
Finally it was removed from its po-
sition in the tower to lower story,
and later it was placed on its original
timbers in the vestibule of the state
house in a prominent position immedi-
ately beneath where a larger bell, pre-
sented to Philadelphia in 1866, now
proclaims the passing hours.
To Isaac Norris, the speaker of the
colonial assembly, is ascribed the hon
or of having originally suggested the
prophetic words from Leviticus XIV, 10,
proclaim liberty throughout all the
land unto all the inhabitants thereof"
which were cast on the bell. The rea-
son for the selection of this text at a
time when there was not the slightest
thought of a break with the mother
country has been subject of much
conjecture, but the true reason is ap-
parent when the full text is read, And
We shall hallow the fftieth year and
proclaim liberty throughout the land
and to all the inhabitants thereof" J"

Pay Half the Premiums.

Pay Half the Premiums.
BY q group insurance contract issued
recently-the biggest policy ever grant
ed, it is believed-the 5000 employees
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit compa-
ny operating in Brooklyn borough,
New York CITY, are insured for 81 900
each by the Travellers Insurance com
pany of Hartford, the $8.000000 insur-
ance costing the B. r. L. about $4,000
year, or about one-half the total pre-
miums
The opportunity to insure was offer
ed all employees who have been with
the transit company two years or more,
and the company pays one-half the
premium up to $1,000 of insurance, the
rate Of insurance varying, according
to the age Of the individual employee.
The employee may, If he wishes to pay
the additional premium. increase his
policy to $1,000.
A special agreement will he required
whereby In case of the employee leav-
ing no dependents the principal Of the
policy may be used:
For paying funeral expenses: for re
imbursing the company for premiums
paid by 1t during the period in which
it has assumed the entire premium,
turning the balance over to the EN-
ployees' benefit association
All premiums will be paid In the first
place by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company, which will, through It's re
spective constituent companies, collect
by periodical deductions from wages
one-half of each annual premium due.
1t is pointed out that employees be-
tween the ages of fifteen and thirty
two will pay weekly on the average a
fraction more than cents for $1,000
of insurance; employees more than
thirty-two and less than forty, frac-
tion more than cents a week; en-

more than 10 cents a week; those of
sixty, fraction more than % cents a

corder William F. Cain. sitting in Jer-

that this was probably due to lack of
employment. Benefits were awarded
based upon his average contributions
