RAISING LOW WAGES.

The railroad press agents found of their most
popular arguments against the demands of the brother
hood in the fact that the great the rail-
road employees who do not belong the brotherhoods
poorly paid. The fact that trackmen the
slowly dying of $3.50, average per day the
entire country used argument against rails
ing the wages of the engineers fremen and conduc-
tors.
One would think from the sympathy that has been
1avished these miserable that corporation
would willingly cent additional wages to any per-
son receiving higher income until the wrongs of
the trackmen had been righted.
But there is another class of employees that paid
much higher than the brotherhood members Ac-
cordng to bulletin Of the National Geographic So
ciey general officers receive an average daily wage
of $780, contrasted with 1924 which given the
average compensation of the next highest paid en-
ployes-the engineers.
During 1914, the last year for which figures are
available the railroads increased the wages it's "gen
eral officers" average Of 80 cents per day. which
is more than four times the increase granted to any
other class of employees
But there was no call the public protection
against the "exorbant demands of these "highy paid
representative Of aristocracy of labor" Neither was
there claim the part the railroads that no
such increase should have been granted while track
yen were receiving but $3.50 per day. = >,5:s

SETS 100000 CHILDREN FREE.

The signing of the Federal Child Labor bill by
ident Wilson marks the end of long hard fight for
the protection of the working children of country
from the consequences of too early toll.
The house passed the in the first half Of
President Wilson's first term but it reached the senate
too late in the session for it to be This
session 1t again passed the house and when there
shown disposition to put the bill until the
December session the President went himself to the
Capitol to its before congress adjourned
1t passed the senate by vote of So to IL.
The bill prohibits the shipment in interstate COM
merce OF the products of any mine quarry where chill
dren under 16 employed of any factory
cannery where children under IA employed chill
dren under 16 allowed to work at night or more
than eight hours day. About quarter of million
children are affected by the statute according
figures OF 1910 who in that found at work
In mines and factories. It is easy that an army
OF children there will be, the years go by freed
from the of child labor ...
1t Is really second emancipation proclamation that
President Wilson put his hand and seal to when he
signed the Heating Child Labor bill. From the point
of view of human welfare, it is perhaps the most
important act of his administration.

CORN CROP SHORT.

The corn crop will be short this

crop. It is estimated that there will
be 2,6O0,000,000 bushels, or 100000
900 bushels less than last year. The
decrease In yield is likely to maintain

getting longer and one hasn't much to do and he
looks over his book and finds this from the New

 INTENSE vIC0R

Paris, June 13-The battle for Yer dun has broken out with unusual vio- 1ence on the east bank of the Mouse after the lull following the capture of Fort Vaux. The Germans put the respite to good use. They, brought up fresh effectives, reformed their lines and advanced their artillery to positions from which they have begun a methodica1 pounding of the main French defenses especially the power full batteries at Tavans and Fort Sou vile. At the same time the French advanced line, which was plastered with shells all day Sunday has been subjected to a series of fierce on- slaughts at Thiaumont Farm, the po- sition on which the line pivots.
 The French on their part have not been idle during the past few days. Thiaumont Farm bristles with we'll placed machine guns and the German masses, toi1ing up the slope which leads to the French position have
 been driven back again and again while their reserves have been kept closely sheI1ed by the French batter ies at the rear and of the other side of the river. The fighting continues as desperately as ever, but the situa- ton on both sides remains unmodified so far.
 The fghtiSg is characterized by eye witnesses as internal. It is estimat- | ed that the Germans used up 30,OO0 l infantry in assaults on the trenches | west of Fort Vaux and at Thiaumo ont 1 The attacks followed each other in 1 such close succession as practically l to merge one in the other.

 During his early life MT. Weber was active in fraternaI societies as he was in politics. He aided in estab- fishing the Turn Verein and later the Scheutzen Verein, which was an or ganization of marksmen and sharp shooters. It was this organization that established Scheutzen park in the East End and their parades and field days here were big events, bring ing thousands from other cities in this and nearby states.

 MT. Weber was one of the charter members of the Arion society and later became affiliated with the Schwa ebischor-M -Maennerchor or. He was prominent formerly in the Algonquin
 club, the Bridgeport lodge of E1ks and the Germania, Singing society, but of late years he had maintained mem bership only in the Arion. the Schwae-
 bischor-M r-Mannerchor and St. Johns s
 lodge, IF. and A. M.
 He was passionate1y fond of music and especially of singing. It pleased h
 musicaI1y inclined and he sent his sons Fritz K. G. and Robert, IT,,
 abroad in order that they might have | tuition under what he considered the | best teachers.
 ] MT. Weber was a subscriber to and an attendant at all concerts and music
 al entertainments until his illness pre-
 vented him from appearing in public. l Until a, few weeks before his death it was one of the events of his life to come from his home in Whitney avenue to the Fairfield cafe where he | would play pinnochle all afternoon
 with Francis J. F'rey1er, the proprie- | tor. MT. Frey1er, too, has been ill | for several weeks.

 In addition to the services in St. PauPs, the memory of the dead sol dier was honored by a ceremony in Westminster Abbey. while a third service was held in Canterbury cathe- dral.

What is meant by the term of chau- vinisn?
 Chauvtnism is a term for unreason- able and exaggerated patriotism, the French equivalent of 'tjingoism.'' The word originally signified idolatry of Napoleon, being taken from a much wounded veteran, Nicholas Chauvin, who by his adoration Of the emperor became the type of blind enthusiasm for national military glory.
 Has the so called Prussian niIitarism ever in any way affected the govern ment of the United States or the poll icy of that government or in any way interfered with our commercial or eco- nomio deVeiopment7
 We have never had any war with either Germany or Austria in our na- tional history, which seems to indicate that neither country has ever very greatly interfered with the policy of our government, nor have we ever had any diplomatic disagreement with ei- ther country half so severe as we re- peatedly had with Great Britain and France in our history. The only ef- feet that Prussian militarism has had on the relations of the two countries apparently is that the discipline and thOroughness which has been inculcat- ed into the spirit of the German peo- pie as a result of their military system has made them extremely formidable commercial competitors of ours in our attempts to gain control of foreign markets.
 What is the meaning of the eadsden purchaser

It contains 45,- 535 square miles and cost $1O,OOo,OO The treaty and purchase were approv- ed Dec. 80, 1853.
