or riding in trolley car. Many
more people suffer injuries and ac-
cidents from street cars, automo-
biles or trains, than meet with
mishaps from operations, SAYS the
New York American.
The reason some people are still
afraid 10 save their health and
/! their lives by submission to the
knife Is because they are hide
bound with memories OF twenty
and more years ago, when surgery
was far different from what it is
today.
Although Lister, the ingenious
English physician, had discovered
as early as 1867 that the blood
poisoning and other i'll effects of
surgical operations were due to
germs and dirt, the enemy, liFotry,
jealousy and opposition OF the
medical profession kept Lister and
his humanitarian discoveries hid
den and suppressed for twenty
years more.
II was not until 1902, twenty
five years later, that his medical
colleagues in London ceased to re-
vile Lister and call him names, and
began to give him due credit for
his marvellous discoveries.

guished American surgeon, says

President Newcomb Carlton OF the
Western Union Telegraph company
was recent witness before the Unit
ed States commission on industrial re-
lations, sitting at Chicago, regarding
the wages and working conditions OF
the commercial telegraphers.
Mr.. Carlton, replying to a question
from Frank z. Walsh, chairman of the
commission, as to whether telegraphers
We're adequately compensated, said:
II believe that the telegraphers are
underpaid think they ought to make
more money than they do. Ten years
ago a Morse telegrapher received $18.
1t is now $23 1t was $3.50 for wom-
en-, and it is now $1S. My own view
is that first class telegrapher should
be able to earn at least So day for
nine hours"
The witness stated that his company
has one of the best pension and relief
organizations In the country, and 1t
costs the men nothing. Half a million
dollars was expended on 1t last year.
he said
1--WE are subject to the control of the
interstate commerce commission" said
Mr.. Carlton. '"They absolutely fix not
only our practices, but our rates. / be-
lieve, therefore, that the commission
should be given sufficient power to see
that fair wages are paid and that fair
working conditions are provided"
The policy of the Western Union, the
witness stated Is formed by the exec
utive committee. Jacob II. Schiff, a
member Of that committee, was quoted
by Chairman Walsh as having said
that no self respecting employer would
refuse to deal with the representatives
asked Mr. Walsh.
II believe in the organization of la
bor"
And in collective bargainingW
IF collective bargaining is where the
organization with whom you are deal
ing is a responsible one, yes"
The witness said that In the five
years he has been with the company
there has been no union Of telegra-
piers which he considered qualified to
represent them. His policy with the
men, he said, was to allow an open
door to him for the appeal of all griev-
ances. Telegraphers have been dis
missed from the company for activity
in union affairs, he admitted.
Chairman Walsh asked him IL he had
any remedy for industrial unrest to
suggest
81 do not think there is any panacea
In the way of legislation. | think edu-
cation is the only thing that is going
to do that, and l speak only for my
own trade when | speak of a federal
commission fixing wages and working
conditions. Something should be done
absolutely to prevent the shutting
down Of telegraphic communication by
strikes. l do not suggest the commits
sion for all trades"

All members of labor organizations

exhibit represents the agencies by
which the labor movement accom-
plishes its work, the progress that has

have directed the movement All the
individual features represent human
progress toward freedom and oppor

The primary step for that purpose is
represented in reducing the hours OF
toll and increasing the hours of oppor-

The exhibit emphasizes the heart and

which are embodied in the great decla-

HOW SAVINGS GROW.
Ben Franklin's Proof That "Money ia
of a Prolific Nature"


After publishing his Poor Richard $
Almanac" for twenty-five years and
giving thirty two years more as thrift
teacher of his country Benjamin Frank
lin put into his will a provision to dem
onstrate the power Of accumulated saw
ings.
To the cities of Boston and Philadel.
phia he left $4,000 each The money
was to be put out at interest and al
lowed to accumulate for a hundred
years. At the end of that time, he fig
ured, each city ought to have $3.50, 900.
He directed that at the end of the hun
dred years $5GO.0 900 should be invested
by each city lin public works which
may be Of most general utility to the
inhabitants" The rest should then be
put at interest for another hundred
years, when the accumulation should
be divided one-quarter to the city and
three-quarters to the state
When the first hundred years were
past Boston found that she had S663,
923 to her credit from the Franklin
fund. Taking $500O0O, Boston estab-
lished a training school for mechanics
The remaining $163, ,923 was put out at
interest again
Philadelphia experience with the
original fund OF $1,000 was about the
same as Bostons.
Now, Franklin figured that at the
end of the second hundred years, when
the fund is to be distributed each fund
ought to amount to about $2o0o0.000.
But Bostons fund ut the end of the
first hundred years exceeded Frank
Inns estimate by $13,923 So here's
problem;
If Boston handles the fund as sue
cessfully In the second hundred years
as she did In the first how much in ex-
cess of $20,0OOO 600 will it be?
Franklin's demonstration was i'm
pressiye; $4,000 will go into S663 923
how many times? Nearly 1873 times.
Wasn't he amply justified when he
said. Money is of a prolific nature"
What sort of a demonstration can
you make John Oskison In Chicago

BIG WAGE REDUCTION.
Tin Plate Company Cuts Pay of Work
ers In All of Its Plants.

SfS IN All OI KS
Reductions in wages in the hot mill
department of all the works of the
American Sheet and Tin Plate com
pany, an important subsidiary OF the
United States Steel corporation, were
announced recently In notices posted
at the company's plants and in this
statement from the general offices in
Pittsburgh
"A reduction in scales affecting en-
ployees in the hot mill departments of
the American Sheet and Tin Plate COM
pany becomes effective April IT, The
changes were necessary by reason of
reductions having been made since the
first of the present year in hot mill
scales In competitive mills"
The exact rate of reduction was not
revealed, but steel authorities said 1t
would average between 10 and IA per
cent The order affects the company's
twenty nine plants in western Pennsyl-
Vania, Ohio and West Virginia and
comes close on the heels of q similar
reduction accepted by the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers after the membership had de-
feated the plan twice.
