sorbed in the acquisition and con-
servation Of the dollar, regardless of
what misery it entails, whereas the
men of the unions are constantly en-
deavoring to tighten labor's burden,
lessen misery, and step by step hope
to advance all to a higher plane Of
social existence.
It is a matter for sincere congratu-
lation that the people Of America are
not all associated in Chambers of
Commerce and similar bodies, nor
are they very much influenced by the
suggestions or conclusions of such
bodies.
Humanity's Turn now.
We live now in an age and at a
time when the worship Of Mammon
must yield to the prayers and i'm
portunities of the lowly and op-
pressed-when man must take pre-
cedence to the dollar. OF late years
no demand has been made upon the
workingmen of this country and of
the whole people for that matter, so
great, as the preservation, intact, Of
every clause of the La Toilette Sea-
mems Act. It, becomes the duty OF
every man in this country with :,
spark of sympathy to protest loudly
and vigorously against every attempt
to nullify, abridge or repeal any
clause In the Seamen's Law.

(BY FRANK RENEY).

Years ago, when the workers of the
world were stepped in misery and ig-
norance deeper than they are today,
there was an exceptional class of
workers, held by their necessities in
bondage, whose cries for succor were
unheeded and whose sufferings were
regarded when they reached the ears
Of the ordinarily humane as the mere
natural outcome of their EMPLOYMENT.
Years rolled on, bringing to them
little if any relief.
F1ogged and Managlcd.
These were the men who went
down to the sea in ships to be
flogged and manacled and starved
and to die, that men on land might
wallow in luxury, feasting upon the
fruits of the sailors labor, carried
from distant climes, the result of
privations and "ardships which they
endured. They were sailor men. and
few in those distant days gave ear or
sympathy to the tales of woe of the
poor sailor. Their duties at sea were
and still are onerous and hard, their
reward thanklessness and oblivion.
Gradually, as civilization developed
md education became diffused, the
reatment meted the sailor began, lit
lie by little, to receive the attention

mercial bodies upon the allegation
that it is destructive of our shipping
interests, restrictive, oppressive and

frequent antagonisms with labor or
ganizations
Organized Labor Firm.
Labor organizations have never
been known to advocate, or in any
manner tolerate any form of injustice
that they felt should be abrogated or

BOARD RULES WOMEN

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 6.-The

Of hotels and institutions Pennsyl-

they are supposed to seek the great

Being intrusted with funds for
beneficient and religious work, they
should so cooperate these funds as
to benefit all connected with their

idealism in the founding Of such in
stitutions they should be the foremost

Germany Uses Nitrogen to Good
Advantage-Great Help
During War.

PHILADELPHIA, April 6.-The U
5. senate has failed to pass the pro.
]ect for government plant for the
manufacture of nitrogen from the air
In view of this fact it is interesting tc
know that at the same time that the
committee on agriculture introduced
bill to appropriate $15,0O0,0OO for a
government nitrogen plnat, the .Du
Pont powder trust also submitted an
amendment which demanded that the
monopoly of this business should be
handed to it.
This is the same game which we
witnessed in the matter Of a govern
ment armor plant" writes L. Werner
IN the Philadelphia Tageblatt. For
many years the armor ring, With its
three armor plate factories. has
mulcted the government mercilessly
until at last a government aromo1
plate factory remedied the situation
A bill to this effect has passed the
senate.
I'm order to prevent it's final adop-
tlon, the ring has now offered to re-
duce the price Of it's armor. It COM
plains that it's business is being
ruined, although it has millions of
dollars invested.
A New Industry.
The nitrogen industry, however, is
new. No private interests so far can
be involved. The government still has
free hand. More even, without the
help of the government it is impos-
sible to create nitrogen monopoly.
In order to compete with the South
Americans nitrates, the nitrogen must
be produced very cheaply. This may
be done by the use of water powers
and electricity. In Sweden and Nor
way, where water power is plentiful,
the manufacture of nitrogen from the
air has been tarted first. The present
war. which cut off the Chill saltpeter
from Germtny, compelled it's govern
ment to secure a substitute by pro-
ducing nitrogen artificially.
Nitrogen is a, part of the air. 1t
forms plant manure. It is necessary
for many chemical processes. 1t
plays a role in war in the shape of
nitric acids used for explosives.
Agriculture Needs Tt.

fcial fertilizers. Without it the in
tensive culture now established in
many European countries would have
been impossible.

lists in unlimited quantities in the air.

possibilities are opened up for agri-

THE nitrogen question thereby be-

Should such an object be handed
over to private hands and permitted

There is no need for this. It is
very easy to prevent it by keeping the
