order that the army as a whole mighty get away safely with all its ammunition, artillery and SUD- plies, About 17oo men of the Irish division-the ..Connaught Rangers, the Munster Fusiliers and the Dublins-with two small batteries, were selected for this duty. Taking up their positions, these marvellous warriors held off the Bulgarian advance for many hours, until fifteen hundred of .heir number were killed or seri- ously wounded. Then, and only then, did the repeated rushes of the myraid foe succeed in over coming the two hundred helpless, exhausted heroes remaining, and in capturing the few guns which were about red-hot from their own firing. But their work was done, and we'll done, for the rest of the army had passed safe and sound beyond the danger zone, Should not such deed as this ever live in song and story and become a household tale even as Bannockburn, Craecy and Water loo ?-Recorder.

Alfred 5. Hes, manager of the Hes Power plant, located on Solo, mon gulch, acloss the bay from Valdez, has announced that a company under the title of the lntermountain Traction & Power Company has been organized un- der the laws of W ashlhgton state to utilize the power furnished by the plant.
 It is stated that the company will be ready to furnish light and power to Valdez customers be- fore the end of January and that regular service will be inau- gurated. A big crew of men are now erecting poles and stringing wires in the business section and the service will be extende to the residential section as soon as con nections can be made.
 The Intermountain Traction & Power Company is a strong fnan- cial corporation and Manager Hes states that it is going after the business of furnishing power to the many mines which are operat- ing in this district.

During the year I9I4-I5 the II schools in the incorporat- cd towns employed 65 teachers and had an enrolment of I,542, including high school students. The average number of pupils per school was no; the average cost of maintenance per school was $7,586I4, and the average cost per pupil was $68.87.
 The increase in the number of school districts outside of incor- porated towns is due, of course, to the increase of population and is proof of statement that the population of Alaska is now showing a substantial gain.-Ex- change.

 TTwenty-eight gold-lode mines were operated in Alaska in 1914 and produced gold to the value of S4,863,ooo. In 1913 there were thirty lode mines producing, with III output of S4,SI4813 worth of gold. The decrease in the number of. mines was due to the fact that number of mines in the Fair banks district operated in 1913 were idle in 1914.

At testubert, at kue de Bois, and at Seddul Bahr, Irish regiments equally distinguished themselves. At Suvla Bay, the Dublins, at St. Julien the Royal Irish, and at Annafarta the In- niskillings, all won peculiar and immortal glory. And now comes a similar story of deliberate sac rife in the Balkans.
 When the complete defeat of the Serbians rendered necessary the retirement of Anglo-French forces on Salonika, it became a movement exposed to grave dan ger, for the assailants vastly out numbered the defenders Slowly from hill to hill, from position to position, the allies fell back, fighting grimly to hold off the att tack.
 At length came the time in the British retreat when it became necessary for comparatively

THE IRISH IN BATTLE

In a war like the present, war extending over whole continents and marked by weekly battles greater than Waterloo, a war of infinite heroism and dauntless deeds that count to the million, there has been enough honor gained to cover all the partici- pants with glory, enough tri- umphs to go all around without stinting.
 Never have men endured great CT danger, never have men dis played greater courage, fortitude and determination since that far off time when nation first lifted up sword against nation, than they are showing, and have been showing hourly since the first Iiu.npet sounded in August of 1914.
 Probably no race as such can claim precedence over others, and thus it is that all can rejoice in hcnors won without any danger of offending by contrast.
 It is peculiar that the Irish, the people whom the German kaiser relied upon to fatally embarrass the British government by a timely rebellion, have performed SO. many striking feats on the

HOURS OF WOMEN TOILERS.
Illinois Behind Many States In Protec-
ton Given Female Workers.

Illinois Behind Many States In Proteo-
ton Given Female Workers.
In an extended discussion of hours of
work a report on Industrial Condi-
tions In Springfield, Ill.," by the de-
partment Of surveys and exhibits, Rus
sell Sage foundation of New York, will
say:
unlike the law of New York state,
already held by the courts to be
proper measure for the protection of
the health and morals of women, the
Illinois law permits women or girls
over sixteen years Of age to be en-
ployed during any hours Of the night.
From the facts gathered in Springfield
1t can be safely assumed that large
ployed regularly as night workers In
other parts of the state, particularly In
Chicago.
"Thus In the industrial protection
now being given women Illinois Is far
from being abreast of the times. In
IdlllIS 10 pldSS SACulSl iCSlliS llOho
upon the hours of women workers it
not only lags behind the more progress
sive states, but also behind the other
great manufacturing states OF Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and New York.
Each of these states employs larger
number of women In industry than I'LL
nois. but it comes fourth in the list,
and indeed in the total number Of
workers, both male and female, Illinois
ranks third, being exceeded by only
Pennsylvania and New York. Yet
each one of these states gives women
workers greater protection than does
the state of Illinois. New York limits
their hours to nine, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania to ten per day, with the
additional proviso In all three states
that weekly hours shall be restricted
to fifty-four per week as contrasted
with the seventy which women may
work IN the state of Illinois. When
compared with still other states, ILL.,
nois appears in even a less favorable
light, for California, Arizona, Wash
ington, Wyoming, the District of Co
lumbia and Colorado limit the hours Of
women workers to eight per day. The
map, which shows In black the states,
some thirty one In all, giving women
greater protection from long hours Of
work than the state Of Illinois, shows
how far behind Illinois lags."

Following are the new schedules
which have been under consideration
since early last April:
The advance to blue uniform men IS
2 cents per hour and to shop, mann
tenance of way, power station ana
miscellaneous employees cent per
hour for the year from May l, 1916,
to April 80, 1917, which makes the
maximum rate for surface car motor
men and conductors for that year "a
cents per hour.
A further advance to blue uniform
men of three-quarters of cent per
hour, and TO shop, maintenance of
way, power station and miscellaneous
employees Of / cent per hour for the
year May l, 1917, to April 30, 1918,
which makes the maximum rate for
surface car motormen and conductors
for that year 34s4 cents per hour.
A further advance to blue uniform
men OF three quarters OF a cent per
hour. and to shop, maintenance OF
way, power station and miscellaneous
employees of l cent per hour for the
year from May /, 1918, to April 30,
1919. which makes the maximum rate
for surface car motormen and conduc-
tors for that year 351a cents per hour.
A further provision Is made In the
agreement that provided the company
obtains relief sufficient to enable 1t to
pay per cent dividend for either
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1913,
or June 80. 1919, then for the last
year Of the agreement-that Is, from
May 1, 1918, to April 80, 1919-an addi-
tional half cent Is to be added to all
the rates, which makes the maximum
rate for surface car motormen and
conductors for that year, provided the
per cent dividend Is paid, 36 cents
per hour.
In addition to this increase the work
ing conditions have been so improved
as to give assurance of the most har-
monious relations between the COM
pany and Its employees.
At present there are approximately
5000 blue uniform men and 4,SO0 shop,
maintenance Of way, power station
and miscellaneous employees.

Labor Activity In New York.

Measured in total amount OF wages
paid, activity in the factories Of New
York state was greater In June than
In any other month of the previous two
years. The total number of employees
was greater than in May and only
slightly less than in April which holds
the record for the two years. Had it
not been for the strike In the women's
clothing industry and minor labor
troubles both the total wages paid and
the total number of employees would
have established new high records In
June Of this year. These results are
shown by returns to the bureau OF sta
tistics of the state industrial commits

Want Justice. Not clfts.

The proposition OF the Santa Fe to
furnish life insurance to its employees
will appeal very strongly TO some peo-
pie. But 50 far as we are concerned
we cannot get rid Of the idea that If a
man Is paid an adequate salary dur
Ing his lifetime he will be able to fur
nish his own life insurance, and If he
doesn't happen to want life insurance
he can very conveniently use the
money for other purposes. Plans of
this kind have a tendency to tie en-
ployees up to one employer and make
it impossible to act on their own initi-
ative IN matters that involve their re-
lattons with the company. They are
put forth as a substitute for and to
forestall the formation Of labor or
ganizations.-To Topeka Capital
