THE CAP rAINS OF INDUSTRIES WAR
ON DRINK.

Inc most ardent temperance enthusi-
asst does not show greater hostility to
the use OF alcohol than Americas cap
talns OF industry at the present moment.
Take, for single illustration, our great
est industry, the steel trade. have be-
fore me mass of letters from nearly
one hundred and fifty manufacturers of
iron and steel. They include the great
est concerns in the country; many of the
constituent members of the United Steel
Corporation are represented. In these
letters the responsible otficla give their
policy on the drinking question, and ex-
press their opinions as to its practical
succ IS. Through them all there runs
the same tone: the opinion IS u anlmouS
that drinking, even in moderate amounts,
decreases efficiency, increases accidents,
and is altogether demoralizing to the
workmen and to the plant. All these
corporatlons-great concerns like the
Illinois Steel Company, the Carnegie
Steel Company, the American Steel and
Wire Company, the American Tin Plate
Company, the American Manganese
Steel Company, the American Car and
Foundry Company, the American Bridge
Company, to mention only few, are
now conducting great campaign
against drinking. Already they have
cleaned up conditions that existed only
half dozen years ago. All have elimi
mated from the steel industry that youth
full Ganymede, who was once its consplc
uous ornament-old Ben Franklin's ''ale
house boy" who regularly rushed the
cam in working hours, for the refresh
ment regarded as essential to industrial
efficiency and contentment.
These steel mills will now 'fre" in
stantly any man who drinks in working
hours. Many are wedding out employees
who stop on their way to the fac
tory for their morning nips and on
their way home at night for
similar purpose, 4 visit to the free
lunch counter at noon frequently means
dismissal. Before a man is employ
ed he is asked il he uses alcohol; If
he answers yes, the applicant does rot
get the job. Some of the concerns, like
our greatest railroads, prohibit drinking
both on and off duty, and discharge
man caught visiting saloon at any time.
A workman who cashes his pay check at
saloon Is Immediately sent ''to get his
time" garniShment of wages by sa-
loon keeper automatically results IN dis
missal. The American Steel and Wire
Company has ordered it's men to with
draw from clubs where liquor is sold;
year ago the Carnegie Steel Company
posted notice declaring that all promo
tions hereafter would be made from the
ranks of abstaners. The Delaware,
LackaWanna & Western Coal Company
has prohibited foremen,' bosses, and
others who have workmen in charge
from visiting saloons; the example is 100
dangerous a one!-Burton j: Hendrlck

Every Sunday

in thousands of households, people
overeat, and their stomachs and livers
suffer for it the next day, and even
the day following. Ordinarily good,
big dinner hurts no one when some
work is done after it. But Sunday
is rest-day, and the stomach doesn't
get the help of the usual exercise,
and sometimes it is given too much
to do. In such cases, e. F." At
woods Medicine helps the digestion,
acts on the bowels and carries off the
bile before any harm is done. 1t is
an old family remedy, perfectly safe
for even the children, and a good
medicine to keep in the house for sud
den attacks of indigestion, biliousness
and sick headache.

,OLEY KIDNEY PILLS
FOR RAcKhcHE KIDNEYS AND BlAD DER
OAKLEY C. CURTIS BLACkLlsTED.
Five-Masted Portland Schooner to be held
Up by British Cruisers.


PORTLAND, Aug. 3.-The five-mssted
schooner Oakley G. Curtis, named for
the present governor of the State, may
figure in an international complication
growing out of the blacklist of certain
American vessels by the English govern
ment. The Curtis is one of the ships
that has been named as carrying a car
go in directlyavailable for German use.
While correspondence has been carried
on to gain information as to just what
charge has been preferred against the
snip or owners. the j. S. Winslow Co.,
of this city, managing directors and part
owners, have been unable to learn the
exact status of the case.
The Curtis cleared from Norfolk for
Lisbon, Spain, with a cargo of coal July
9th. She should arrive at her destina-
ton within 80 days unless held up by
British cruisers and either detained or
held as a violator Of the English law
governing attitude of neutral nations in
time of war. 1t is not believed that any
English captain would go so far as to
detain the ship or delay her in her pas
sage but this might happen. Another
hazard of the trip is the liability of be-
ing sunk or captured by the Germans or
Austrians, meeting somewhat similar
fate as that which befell the ship Will
liam P. Frye.
She has stocked upwards of $4,000
in clean profits to the owners since the
first of last December and dividend of
81, 900 for each 9th is payable now ac
cordlng to a statement issued today by
the j. S. Winslow Co. 1t is probable
that in a full year, should she charter
return freight at prevailing prices and
arrived back in this country some time in
November, would show earnings of at
least $3.50 net, big revenue for
ship II years old that has paid for her
self several times over.

The Kaiser's Speeches.

The Kaiser continues to make his
spread eagle speeches to the German
army, which may inspire his soldiers to
fight with renewed courage, but which
read in this part of the world sound
like man boasting in order to keep up
his courage. The Kaiser doesn't hest
tate to make the most direct claim to
Divine guidance and authority, asserting
that he is the chosen of God to preserve
the German people from their enemies.
His addresses read like the rawlings of a
religious zealot, a Dowie or Sanford,
rather than the words of the ruler of
sixty million people with all the respon-
sibility such position entails. Portland

BASEBALL SLAVERY"

It will be 37 years tomorrow, since the shackles were forged for baseball players, reducing them to a condition of abject slavery which is simply nor rfEle to contemplate. On Sept. 90, 1873, d special meeting of National league magnates was held in Buffalo, and at this session the awful conspiracy against the liberty of the players reached a Satanic conclusion. Calmly and in cold blood the Simon Legrees of baseball discussed the scheme for robbing players of their precious her ftaRe of freedom aild fastening upon their limbs the chains of an egregious serfdom.
 The upshot of the business was the adoption of what has come to be known as the reserve rule. The mag mates attached their signatures to an agreement in which each bound him self not to employ players which other National league clubs wished to re- tafn Under the terms Of th1s docu- ment-which, in keeping with It's char acter, was adopted secretly-each cluD of the National league was permitted to reserve five men.
 Prior to that. time baseball player was a free man.. and could look Tn the face his fellowmen of lroerty-loving land. If he wished, he could make a contract with one club for 9 year, and 70 to another team the next. In the National association days, prior to the launching of the National league in 1878, the players as a rule were not even bound by contract, and could jump at, any time to any club that offered better pay. The most noto- rious example of this practice of 're- volving,'' as it was called, came at the close o6 the 1875 summer season.

 Although the late Archduke Fran cis Ferdinand and his vorganatic wife, who was the Countess Sophie Chotek before she married and was made the Duchess of Hohenberg, both solemnly renounced the claim of their issue to the throne, there were many Austrians and a multitude of Hungar- fans who believed that Prince Maxi milan would succeed his father on the throne. The tragic death of the Archduke has seemingly eliminated young Maximilian from any consider ation as a possible claimant for the sovereignty of the Dual Monarchy, all though in Hungary he still has many adherents who hold that he is the rightful heir of the aged Francis Jo- seph. Hungarians were the valorous champions of the late Duchess of Ho- henberg, and, in spite of the Austrian laws of succession and the oath fex- acted from her on her marriage, they insisted that she was to be considered the legal spouse of the Austrian hAir-

A PRAYING PRINCE

Prince Maximilian Hohenberg, the eldest son of the murdered Archduke Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne and his morganatic wife, Princess So- phie of Hohenberg, who was also slain at Sarajevo, will celebrate his four teenth birthday today, as he was born in Vienna on Sept. 29, 1902. The last heard of the orphan Prince was some weeks ago, when he was heralded as the head of movement called the Youths Association of Prayer for a
 Speedy and Favorable Peace" The association is said to have many thous- ands of members among the children of Austria and Hungary. Prince Max imilian and his sister, Princess Sophie
 who Is a little more than a year his senior. and his younger brother, Prince Ernest, are said to pray daily for the speedy close of the war-although they are very careful to ask God to end the struggle in a way that will be to the advantage of the Central Elm pire.

After that regular contracts were offered to players, and this put an end to the practice of jumping without notice.
 But the magnates were not satisfied with a mere contract, because, when lit expired, the player was left free to go elsewhere if he pleased. Then some bright genius-old Simon Legree him self, maybe-doped out the reserve rule, the entering wedge in that dread full regime of slavery by which players have become two-legged chattels, to be bought and sold like cattle.
