The rivers OF the northeastern and

Of manufacturers and industrial men In

there are very few rivers in this great

CARNEGIE HAS GIVEN
AWAY $324,657,399
Ironmaster Testifea Before Federal In
dustriaI Commission
in New York.

! New York Feb 6s--Andrew Carnegie
went on the witness stand yesterday be-
fore the federal industrial relations com
mission, and testified that up to the
close Of 1914, his donations totaled
1924 ,657 800.
"1he work still goes brayely on" said
the ronmaster. II am indeed, a most
fortunate man, and think myself il
nothing else 50 happy as in q soul re-
membering my dear friends, to whom
owe SO much"
Mr., Carnegie was asked what his bust
ness was.
my business" NE replied lis to do all
the good in the world ! can"
Mr. ,Carnegie's statement was, in part
as follows:
II never bought or sold shares on the
Exchange; all my earnings were from
manufacturing II il were necessary for
me to return TO that calling | should not
consider the problem Of labor as at all
difficult On the contrary, ! enjoyed con-
ferences with our men We had one
rule come what may; We would never
think OF running our works with new
men. Able. sober well behaved work.
men such as ours were not to be picked
up on the streets and we wished no 9TH
ers We were very particular in regard
to drinking: first offence men were ex-
cluded thirty days, second offence, six
ty DAYS; third offence, we parted com
pany."
Mr. Carnegie said that he had only
zone serious disaster with labor" This
was at the time Of the riot at Home
stead. Pa. Mr. Carnegie was abroad at
the time and when he heard Of it want
ed to return home, but his partners re-
questcd him not to do So
"Some of the men at the works" Mr..
Carnegie said, "cabled me; Kind mas
ter, tell us what you want us to do and
we viii do it for YOU.
Wages advanced thirty per cent Mr..
Carnegie said after that incident. This
was one-half Of the percentage of the
increased product of the mills Mr.. Car
negie cited his introduction of the semi
monthly pay day and his selling coal and
other supplies to his employees at cost
to help them He continued.
GAN this reveals steady progress up
ward and onward TO the benefit OF both
abor and capital which will some day
rank as one, Notwithstanding the hesita-
ton to cooperate shown by some labor
champions, who are still extremists and
do capitalists injustice; but this must
steadily fade away

Certainty Not Sweet on Him.

A girl in SHOWN state" city was
called to the telephone; or, rather, she
answered the family telephone, and
thought she recognized in the terse "Hei-
10" at the other end of the line the voice
of her fiancee, so she said, hello, is that
you, Sweetief"
The voice at the other end suddenly
turned gruif and replied:
"No; this is not Sweetie, by a blamed
sight It's the gas company collector
and if you don't pay yer bill at the Office
by this Afternoon yer CASH be shut of. -

was not quite so radical.
Something like selling stampede en-
sued after the market had climbed 20

wheat in Chicago surprised the bulls, and
there was also an element Of depression
in the fact that corn, which TO large
extent may be substituted for wheat.

higher priced cereal. The result was
sudden drop Of more than three cents
from the top figures attained by wheat.

A SERIOUS DEVELOPMENT.
Is Germany's Latest Move in Naval War
fare.

| Washington, Feb 6.-Germany's dec.
Great Britain and Ireland, including the
English channel and the northern pas
sage by the Shetland islands, is consid-
cred here az one Of the most serious de
lvelopments Of the war.
1t was regarded as highly possible, for
one thing. that it would hasten the
movement begun by the Latin American
countries and other nations for speedy
conference Of neutral states TO devise
means to reduce losses TO neutral com
merce to a minimum
At first there were some intimations
in administration circles that it might
he the subject Of protest by the Unit,
ed States but the official view devel-
oped that there was little or no ground
for that and ii was recalled that no pro-
test was made when the North sea was
strewn with mines.
There il no precedent in dealing with
the questions because heretofore sub
marines have played no important part
in the warfare and all OF the rules OF
international law are framed with spe-
eial reference to ordinary ships.
While it was noted that the procia-
nation was directed against enemy
ships" and applies TO neutral ships only
when the attacks were meant for enc
my ships" through suspicion of misuse
of neutral flags, officials express grave
concern over the implied threat or, per
haps warning that merchant vessels
might be sunk without chance to take
off non-eombatant passengers and crews.
The notice from the British govern
ment that 1t is contemplating retalia-
ton against German trade, means, it
is believed. that the British government
win soon Issue a declaration that food
stuffs and cotton sent to Germany are
eontraband of war.
The statement in the German pro-
clamation that there is in existence a
British order TO its fleet permitting use
OF neutral flags may draw forth an in
auiry from the United States although
Great Britain has in connection with re
cont submarines raids charged that neu-
trail vessels were used as bases.
Until specific case of destruction
Of an American ship in the new war zone
develops, il was regarded as most unlike
" that anything more than an inquiry
would be made by the United States.
