LAUNCHING A BIG VESSEL
Always Risky Task For Which Great
Preparations Are Made.

To slide steel structure as big as
a thirty story office building down Hill
into the water and have it arrive right
side up without damage is big job.
even in these days of big achievements.
The builders Of the latest Dread
nought risked nearly $7,000,000 worth
of material and labor when the launch
ing triggers were released. The out
come depended on the correctness of
calculations made before the big fight
ing ships keel was laid on the blocks.
for before the first construction work
on ship is begun the preparations for
its launching must be started
1t is comparatively easy to build a
ship on land. but to get it into the wa
ter is another matter, as Robinson
Crusoe discovered after working seven
years to construct boat which. when
finished, proved so big that he could
not launch 1t. After the Great East
ern, for forty-three years the largest
ship in the world. was built in 1853 it
took three months to get it afoat.
The larger the vessel the more tick
lish Is the job Of sliding it safely into
the water. Although years of expert
ence and careful study have reduced
the methods used TO a standard prac
tice, yet there is always degree of un-
certainty about the operation. In spite
of the navy's record of an unbroken
series of successful launchings, those
responsible for each succeeding one ex-
Derience considerable anxiety until the
crisis Is safely past. Even though every
known precaution has been taken there
Is always the chance that some un-
known factor may ruin the plan and
wreck the ship.-Crosby Mccarthy in

ACTORS MAY FORM UNION.
Plan Organization to Secure Better
Treatment From Managers.

The formation of a union of Ameri-
can actors and actresses, similar TO the
American Federation of Labor, is be
ing considered by the Actors Equity
association. The purpose of the organ
ization, If the plans go through, will
be to force managing producers to
treat members of the profession more
favorably in the matter of contracts.
The sponsors of the idea say that the
action OF New York managers in per
emptorily throwing actresses and ac-
tors out of work after rehearsing them
for several weeks and promising them
a contract has necessitated the consid-
Grafton Of such a project The forma-
ton Of a sort of protective union will
be launched, however, only as a last
resort.
Howard Kyle, secretary of the Ac-
tors Equity association, said;
1T may become necessary to take a
definite and united stand This can
most satisfactorily be done by forming
such union as outlined 1t will give
the actors chance to dictate some Of
the terms relative to their contracts
without interfering with the proper
and acknowledged rights and duties Of
the managers. Nothing definite has
yet been done although it has been
favorably considered by several of u.s."

THE PULLMAN UPLIFT.
Protects Porters From Decentralization

Protects Porters From Decentralization
of Higher Wages.
Harsh things have been said by an
unreflecting element OF the public
about the Pullman tipping system and
the niggardly policy of the company In
tolerating it, How undeseryed and un-
just these criticisms now appear In the
light of Robert T. Lincolns tribute to
the company's beneyolence in the treat
ment of its colored employees Testi-
flying before the industrial relations
commission, Mr.. Lincoln, who is vice
president and chairman of the Pullman
board of directors. said:
/ believe that outside of the learned pro-
fessions, where they have made some prog
ress, the one large element that has done
more to uplift colored men has been af-
forded through employment by the Pull
man company
The Pullman company, it thus ap-
pears, is Il chartered steward of the

declare that the imposition could be
abolished by raising the porters wages
from the inadequate sum of $3.50 a
month now paid them should bear In
mind that tips enable the company to
carry on its benefcent mission To in
crease the wages Of porters would ex-
pose them to the dangers Of swollen
prosperity. AS Mr.. Lincoln further
said: IF you increase their wages and
they continue to get tips as at present
they would get much more money.
And you can understand how that
mightsnot be desirable"
1t is in thus protecting the porter
from the decentralization of just wages
and in preventing him from earning
too much of its own funds that the
Pullman company shows its ideals of
uplift. 1t is observable, however, that
it does not subject his income from
tips to any such limitation.-Ne York

SAVED THE TOWN.
The Fisherman Lied, Stuck to His
Story and Got asSurprise.


More than two centuries ago. when
an allied English and Dutch fleet,
under Admiral Russell, approached
Les SabeS d'Olonne. on the bay OF
Biscay, to lombard it, a difficulty
arose. The conformation of the shore
partly concealed the settlement be-
hind a ridge, and they did not know
how to train their guns. But they
had captured q fishing smack in the
bay. and Admiral Russell summoned
the fisherman, Daniel Fricaud, and or
| dered him to tell exactly how the
town lay and where to aim in order to
| destroy its principal buildings. Fri
| caud, who appeared to be poor, ig-
norant fellow, very much frightened,
| pointed TO a pier with q group Of old,
rickety buildings. The admiral was
| doubtful, but the trembling fisherman
| assured him that just beyond and al
| most exactly in range was the market
| square, the very heart of the town.
"Do you understand" asked the ad-
| miral sternly, that if you are telling
| me a lie | shall soon find it out and
have you hanged from the yardarm
| Of my ship?"
81 know" answered the fisherman,
"and if l have lied you must hang me.
can only tell you-it is there that you
should aim your guns
Convinced that the man would not
| venture deception, Admiral Russell
| ordered the bombardment to begin. A
| little while after shells had begun to
| fall behind the screening ridge and
shabby wharf, and great columns of
smoke arose, which rapidly increased
| in volume. 1t seemed that half the
| place must be on fire. Only when he
| thought its destruction nearly enough
| accomplished did the feet withdraw
| first releasing Frcaud and his fishing
| boat.
| The fisherman, amazed and anxious,
| FASTENED to the town TO learn what
could possibly have happened. for he
knew well that in the quarter that
| few worthless sheds and storehouses.
| That was why, at the risk of his
neck, he had pointed ii out Never
for a moment had he thought of aid
ing the enemy to destroy his native
place, and he had fully expected to
pay the penalty What could the
smoke be?
1t proved that the inhabitants had
practiced clever ruSe. Seeing that
| the shells were falling exactly where
they did the least harm, they had
built huge bonfires to convey the i'm
preston OF conflagration The trick
| had probably saved the town. 1t had
certainly saved brave fisherman
from being hanged. Youths Compan-

THE CLAYTON ACT.

There continues an insidious
attempt on the part of the enc
mics of organized labor to min
imize the value of the labor sec
tons of the Clayton antitrust
act and 20 create among the
workers themselves the impress
sion that the legislation Is not
effective. For this purpose facts
have been perverted and mis-
stated. One method that has
been used Is to confuse injunc-
tions issued by state courts with
injunctions issued by federal
courts. Under our form OF gov
ment the national government
has jurisdiction over interstate
commerce and state governments
over intraState commerce. Issu-
ance of injunctions in cases that
come under state jurisdiction is
controlled by the state judiciary.
The Clayton act does not apply
to intrastate matters and does
not affect injunctions issued by
courts within the state. In or
der TO complete the protection of
the rights of the working people
secured through the Clayton act
1t is necessary to enact in every

lating the issuance of injunctions

Its want OF trees. except along the
