STATEMENT.

Berghoff Bros. & Waddell, who have
supplied the thousands of strike break
ers now being housed in car barns
and shop buildings by the Interboro,
is today the largest and most no
torious strike breaking agency in the
United States. 1t is an analgama-
ton of Berghoff Bros. and the old
firm of Waddell-Mahone.
Almost exactly year ago this firm
was investigated bv the United States
Commission on Industrial Relations.
in connection with an investigation of
the strike at the Bayonne refinery OF
the Standard Oil Company. The in
vestigation was conducted by George
P. West and c. L. Chenery, agents
of the Commission.
In statement issued today by the
now unofficial Committee on Indus
trial Relations, Mr.. West said

have vetoed the Shields bill If it had
come to him in the Shape in which

really possesses the information he
indicates he does possess, it would be
startlngly interesting to have him
tell the public how he got it and ex-
actly what it is.
1t IS pretty vague to attack the
Secretary of the Interiar for letting
Mr.. Newell go from the Reclamation
Service, and merely alleging that the
Commission which takes his place is
controlled by politicians Nobody
doubts Mr.. Newell's high-mindedness
but many doubt his business ability.
Secretary Lane was endeavoring to
keep conservation ideals. but at the
same time to increace efficiency and
accuracy when he made this change.

suits it might be we'll for Mr.. Pinchot

The STRIKE BREAKER
Come From the Ranks Of the Most Vicious
Elements Of Society

New York, September.-Th follow
ing open letter and statement were
issued by the Committee ,on Indus
trial Relations.
Honorable Oscar S. Straus, Chairman,
Public Service Commission,
'l20 Broadway, New York City
Dear Sir
The boast is openly made by Mr..
Hedley and Mr. Shonts in control of
the rapid transit system of New York
street railway men if they have the
aid of the police.
May call your attention to the fact
that these men controlling the sub
ways, the elevated roads and the sur
face lines are counting on a combina-
ton of the police and a notorious
strike breaking firm to take away
from the regular and experienced
street railway men the right of effec-
tive organization. / submit with this
an accurate statement of Mr.. George
P. West of the staff of this Com
mittee, to substantiate this character
ization of Berghoff Brothers & Wad-
dell and the great majority of the
men whom they employ.
From personal experience with in
dustrial disputes elsewhere, it is as
clear to me, as / have no doubt it is
to you and your associates, that the
financial heads of the whole rapid
transit system of New York City have
struck against their employees and
against the public; that they have
precipitated this strike in willful dis
regard of the rights of the men and
of the people of the greater city and
Of their own pledged obligations.
Permit me to suggest that while
this controversy is on, the protection
of the law should be thrown around
the human rights and the property
rights of the men who have been
forced to strike for their self respect
and for their Jobs and for the eff
ficient and safe service of the people
| am,
Yours very truly,

asked her politely. for there was some-

aroused his sympathy.

little dry sob. She's my daughter"
The stage manager looked long into the
eyes OF the mother before he could an
"she left rehearsals about two weeks
ago and has not been here since" came
his measured answer
You couldn't tell me where she's gone

mother begged Now there were swollen

We strolled away, not wishing her to
feel that we were listening to her un-

Before the mother had gone, the stage

Plans for Seven-Span Bridge Over
Tracks May Be Remodeled.

Examination Of bids opened yestsr-
day for the construction Of the BEN

the companies competing submitted
estimates within the amount available
for the project.
The specifications call for q seven
span steel girder bridge over the
Baltimore and Ohio tracks, for which
Congress has appropriated 100000.
The work must be completed within
fifteen months.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz thinks
the bids all are beyond the sum avail

fly the plans or readvertise for new
estimates.
Bids will be opened next Tuesday
for q new wall along the canal, from
Aqueduct Bridge to Foundry Branch.

Those who possess marked grace OF
bearing and Of walk are usually endowed
with slender feet and long great toes
strike the floor first. II this method is
not natural to the individual. it is ex-
tremely difficult to acquire.
Many years ago the young ladies OF a
fashionable school were trained not to
walk lpn their heels by a device consist
ing OF q rubber ball and a whistle SO
placed that when walking across the room
the whistle sounded at each step II the
heel touched the floor. Young ladies OF
the present day are too busy with other
frivolities to spend their time in this
manner; but 1t was time well spent, for
it not only developed the feet and es-
tablished the beauty and charm Of a
well-poised body, but It prevented many
foot ills from which the girls of today
suffer. Indeed the value of walking
correctly Is as little understood and ap-
preciated as are the exquisite manners OF
our grandparents
gives rise to much awkwardness; the
body is thrown out Of equilibrium: IA
tigue, weakness, strain and deformity
result Heel and toe walking Is more
fatiguing than running. The shock given
the spinal column and brain each time
the heels strikes the floor is we'll proven
by the manner in which sufferers from
headache involuntarily prevent this by
cautiously tiptoeing. Rubber heels offer
a compromise: they markedly reduce the
concussion. and should be used by all
heel walkers, but are unnecessary to
those who walk correctly. Before this
can be done, one must stand correctly.
Children should not be taught to turn
their toes out, as 1t is conducive to ever
sion Of the great toe, a deformity that
comes on quickly enough as soon as
leather shoes are worn.
The heet-footed Indians stand and
walk beautifully with much native dig
nifty and poise; their feet do not deviate
outward, but point straight ahead. The
great toe, however, does not point ahead
that is, 1t is not on a straight line with
the inner border Of the foot, but turns
slightly inward. The soft moccasins of
the Indians, like the sandals Of the JAP
anese, in no wise interfere with the nor
NAL development. functions, and actions
of the feet. which recalls the fact that
the sandal-wearing Japs easily out
marched the husky Russians during the
Russo-Japanese war.
A noted specialist on the treatment of
children lays much stress upon noninter-
ference with the development of the great
toe. He says, that this matter Of fore
ing the first toe out Of its normal posi-
ton may bring with 1t serious conse-
quences, Is easily shown. as 1t inclines
against the second toe and often crowds
1t backward and finally makes 1t the dis
tressing hammer toe which may even
require a surgical operation for its re-
lief. On the inside Of the foot. as soon
