OUR MILITARY ACADEMY.
West Point, Where Uncle Sans Army
Officers Are Made.

II was in 1902 that congress estab-
lished the United States Military acad-
envy the training school for officers. at
West Point. on the banks Of the Hud-
son. ffty-two miles north Of New York
city.
Although the school for educating
and training young men in the theory
and practice Of military science, 10 fit
them for dusy rs officers Of the United
States army, was not established until
after Washington's DEATH he was In "a
way the real founder. In 1893 and again
in 1895 he urged upon congress the
necessity Of S,lch an institution. The
Continental congress as early as l776
had also suggested the desirability Of
"a military school for the army"
Authorized In 1902 the Military acad-
emy was opened OF the Fourth Of July
with a class Of ten cadets. Prior to
that time number Of students had
been enrolled at the forts at West
Point, where a corps OF GrtIllerymen
auf engineers was stationed and infor-
mai instruction had been given IN the
arts Of war.
The first decade OF the acadcmy's ex-
isteuce was marked by many yicissi
tudcs. Although congress bad created
the institution, the lawmakers appar-
entity soon forgot all about 1t, and,
lacking sufficient funds for its proper
conduct, the academy authorities were
hard pressed to keep It alive. At one
time the school was without a single
instructor. In its first ten years only
seyentydye students graduated.
In 1912 President Madison brought
about a reorganization OF West Point
Soon POO students were enrolled, and
the Institution began to assume some
thing Of It's present form. 1t was not
until 1917. however, that West Point
began to receive serious consideration
in the military world Colonel sylvia
nus Ihayer, who has been called 1.-THE
Father of West Point" was appointed
10 command, and 1t was he who intro
duced the uniform, the organization
ana rules Of study. Under his control
the academy gained prestige and re
nown. In 1888, when he resigned the
command, West Point had won the re-
spect Of the military men Of Europe
and was counted among the worlds
most famous institutions Of its kind

RAILWAY EARNINGS NOT IN
QUESTION
of service

1t has been suggested to the Com
mission that the railway department
should be considered in conjunction
with the light and water departments,
and the deficiency in return of the
railway department be made good out
of the excessive return of the other
two departments; in other words, that
the users of electrical energy or Of
water should be charged excessive
rates in order that the excess in re-
turns of the water and light might be
transferred to the railway department
to make the return of such depart
ment sufficient. The users of the
or may not, be patrons of the railway
department. The defendant company
might be engaged in many different
kinds of business. 1t is unfair to in
crease the charges to the patrons of
one department in order that an
other department may show return.
The users of light and water have
right to a supply of electrical energy
or water at fair, just, reasonable and
sufficient rates, Independent of
whether or no some other department
operated by the same company is
profitable or otherwise. If the rates
of some other department are not fair,
they should be made SO, but the Pub
Tic Service Commission has no right
under the law to tax users of cleo
trical energy or water in order that
the patrons of street railway may
be permitted to compete with some
other form of transportation. The
rates now established by the commits
sion in this instance with the same
patronage will allow the company a
return of per cent, and while the
Public Service Commission has not,
and will not establish any definite re-
turn as applicable to all cases, we
consider that the return under the
rates now established by us to be
Just fair, reasonable and sufficient,
and this meets the statutory require

Steel Workers Get
Increase in Wages

(From Committee on Industrial Re
lations, Washington, D. c.
Washington.-Or Organizing activity by
the American Federation of Labor and
the rapid growth in spirit among its
100000 workers has forced another 10
per cent increase in wages from the
United States Steel Corporation.
The latest increase announced
April IS, to take effect May 1, means
a minimum wage for unskilled labor
in the steel industry of more than "a
cents an hour, or $243 for a ten-hour
day On January /, before the
Youngstown strike forced the first
increase, the rate was $1.95 for ten
hour day.
AS in January, the Steel Corpora
ton was impelled to give an increase
by its fear of unionization. Reports
from the steel district are that the
second 10 per cent increase will not
satisfy the men They are working
10 and II hours a day Their slogan
now is the eight-hour day with the
same pay" and eventually they will
get it.
The 20 per cent increase in wages
since January 1 shows how quickly
the union agitation among the steel
workers during the past four years
bore fruit as soon as the tide of i'm
migration stopped and the men could
show their independence without fac.
ing starvation.
In the Youngstown district, as else
where, the so-called independent"
steel companies have followed the
lead of the trust Except that they
viii try to prevent any permanent bet
terment in the base rate of wages by
paying the increase in the form of
bonuses. The men will receive each
month 10 per cent Of their pay in the
preceding MONTH payments to be
made while high prices for steel con-
time and the plants are running at
capacity. Until the men form strong
unions therefore, they will be at the
mercy Of the companies whenever the
latter find an excuse to put wages
back ct the old starvation level
Remember that the United States
Public Health Service says $500 a
year is the very least a family Of
average size can live on in decency.
Under the new "high" wages, the
steel worker getting S243 for 10
hours work, could earn only $753. 20
a year if he worked 10 hours every
weekday in the year and was never
sick

Americanization Committee to uplift
