PIECE WORK INCREASES TUBERCULOSIS
AMONG MISSOURI LEAD AND ZINC MINERS

The effect Of piece work and the
increase of tuberculosis among metal
miners in the Joplin, Mo-, district is
shown in a report issued by the
United States bureau of mines.
Shovelers in this district work by
the piece and are paid from to 8
cents for each "can' Of ore they
shovel. These leans" have nominal
capacities of 1000, 1850 or 1850
pounds.
Zone can hardly realize the severity
of this work without seeing it," says
the report. Hard, constant work has
broken these men down, so that at
the ages Of % to 80 they are already
on the down grade. The shoveler is

ne is necessarily at work the entire
shift. Working thus at their full
earning capacity day in and day out,
it is not surprising that, with the add
ed exposure to rock dust, these men
should contract tuberculosis to an ex-
sessive degree. Especially must this
be true when they start in under age
and before their bodies have been
fully developed.
After a few years of shovelinp the
shoVeler finds himself beginning to
get short winded and his strength

SEAMENS ACT IS MORE LIBERAL THAN
SIMILAR LAWS OF OTHER LIKE NATIONS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-A bull.
letin issued by the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce Of the depart
ment of commerce makes it possible
to find out just how the much-lis-
cussed seamen's act compares with
similar laws in other maratime coun-
, tries. No attempt at controversy is
made in the bureaus report, and no
conclusions are drawn.
The principal provisions of the diff
ferent maritime laws are set forth in
such a manner that the reader may
make his own comparisons and form
his own opinions. Special Agent
Grosvenor M. Jones, the author of the
report, confined his attention to Great
Britain, France, Germany, Norway,
Japan and the United States.
Considerable attention is given to
strictness and detail of vessel inspec-
ton in the selected countries. The
testing of boilers is of particular in
terest because the American test has
been called unduly severe. A HYDRO
static or hydraulic test is applied at
regular intervals to boilers on Brit
ish, Germany, Norwegian, French and
Japanese ships, as we'll as those under
the United States flag.
British Test More Severe.
In this country the test pressure is
one and one-half times the maximum
allowable working pressure of the
boilers. In Great Britain the. test
pressure is twice the working pres
sure for new boilers and from one
and one-half to one and three-fourths
times the working pressure for old
boilers. In Germany and France the
general rule is to make the test pres
sure one and one-half times the work
ing pressure.
One of the features of the German
regulatiosn is the requirement of a
rigid physical examination of all SAIL
ors on German vessels. This rule has
long been in force, and the: examina-
ton seems. to be even more severe
than that required by the new sea-
mems act. Norwegian sailors are also
required to pass a searching physical
examination, but seemingly nothing
OF this sort is asked for sailors on
British, French and Japanese ships

.C0|VNERS' COMBINE Z.
NOW A CERTAINTY
Buffalo Man Succeeds in Swing
ing Big Deal in Lakes
Shipping.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-W. J. Connors,
Buffalo, who is closely identified with
lake shipping service, will head tho
company that has been organized to
lease the boats formerly operated by
the Western Transit company, the
Anchor line, and the Erie Transporter
ton company, the first two between
Buffalo, Chicago and Duluth, and the
Erie between Buffalo and Lake Supe-
rior points. This will give the new
company a fleet of Is boats, the An
Choir line, controlled by the Pennsyl-
vania, furnishing ~, the Western
Transit, controlled by the New York
Central, nine, and the Erie Trans
portation, controlled by the Erie rail-
road, four.
It has not yet been made clear what
disposition will be made of the IL
boats owned by. the Mutual Transit
company, in which several Of the
roads are interested, but three owned
by the Canada-Atlantic line, the
Grand Trunks boats. The Rutland
company, another New York Central
interest, sold six of it's boats into the
ceastwise trade on the Atlantic and
last week disposed of the two re-
naming boats.
1t also has become fairly certain that
the Lehigh Valley, which owns six
boats, beside an interest in the Mu-
tual line, will carry the case to the
courts on the ground that it's traffic
arrangements west of Buffalo do not
make it a railroad parallel and COM
peting with the boat lines, and so in
clude it in the Panama canal prohibi-
ton. If the Leigh Valley is success
full in overturning the commissions
decision it will increase it's service.
II the commission is upheld arrange
ment is said to have been made with
Mr.. Connors to take over the boats
A 100000 capitalization is con-
templated, although it is understood
in Chicago that Mr.. Connors has been
offered all the capital he needs by
eastern interests.
The shippers received the news with
mixed feelings and some suspicion, Mr..
Connors being so closely affiliated
with the railroad interests, that the
boat service might not be competitive
even after the change. His acuuaint-
ance with the subject was admitted.

requirement.. The British have a sim
liar test in their British merchant
shipping act Of 1906. which provides
that no seaman shall be employed
upon any British ship at any port in
the United Kingdom or on the con-
tinet between the River Elbe and
Brest unless he possesses "a sufficient
knowledge of the English language to
understand the necessary orders" This
law, however, does not apply Ito any
British subject, inhabitant Of Brit
ish protectorate or to any lascar."
Tonnage Rules Liberal.
The measurement rules of the
United States have often been criti-
cized as giving our vessels a higher
tonnage than the rules of other coun-
tries impose upon their vessels. Since
the tonnage of ship is the basis of
various port and other charges, COM
plants against an excessive tonnage
ruling are natural. Upon comparing
the measurement rules of the several
countries, as given in the bureaus
report It would seem, however, that
the American rules are now fully as
liberal as those of tht other coun-
tries.
American shipowners, with the ex-
ception of those operating ships under
the ocean mail act':of 1891, are not re-
stricted in the employment of their
crews by any requirement as to the
nationality of seamen. British, German
and Japanese shipowners are likewise
unrestricted, but British ships receiv-
ing mail or admiralty subventions
must be manned to large degree by
British" sailors; while subsidized Jap
anese ships may employ foreign sail
ors only with the consent of the gov
eminent. French ships must in gen.
eral have at least IS per cent of the
crews French. citizens, while the pro-
portion of foreigners that may be en-
ployed. on Norwegian ships is definitely
fixed by statute and varies from one
third to-: oae-half.--
The report is designated Navigation
Laws, Special Agents Series No. ia,
and Is sold at the nominal price of 20
cents by the superintendent of docu-
ments, Government Printing Office,
Washington, and by the district Offices
of the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce.

Candied Orange Peel.

Remove all the white membrane
from peel. Cut peel with scissors
into strips one-fourth inch wide and
one inch long. Boil twenty minutes
In clear water, skim out from water
and repeat until it has boiled in four
waters. Skim out again. Measure
peel and put into saucepan with an
equal measure Of ,granulated sugar.
The moisture of the peel will melt
sugar. Boil gently in syrup as long
as possible until syrup is boiled away,
tossing frequently with fork and
sprinkle granulated sugar over it.
When cool, pack in tight glass jars
or in tin boxes. This will keep for a
long time and is very nice.
