DYESTUFFS ARE ON WAY
FOR USE IN PAPER MONEY
State Department Procures Release
of Cargo From Germany Equal
to Years Needs.

The machinery of the State Depart
ment has been successfully invoked to
obtain German dyes needed for print
ing Uncle Sans money and stamps.
A cargo is now on the high seas suffi-
cient to run the bureau of engraving
and printing for a whole year. Fur
thermore. it was purchased at prices
not higher than those which prevailed
before the war, whereas war prices
in the United States for such dyes as
could be obtained have been increased
fourfold to skiold.
The consignment of dyes to the bu-
reau of engraving and printing now
on the way to the United States was
purchased by the American consul at
Rotterdam, and the ship which carries
it sailed last week. The cargo consists
of five colors, the essentials for the
work of printing money and stamps.
They are lake red. No. 1. which is a
carmine; lake red, No. 2. scarlet:
Prussian blue, Chinese blue and chrome
green.
Enough Lake Red to Last a Month.
The present supply of lake red at the
bureau of engraving and printing Is
just sufficient to last until March. The
last pound of lake red that is known
to Director Joseph E. Ralph to be any
where in the United States was just
purchased by him. He obtained 5000
pounds in New York city last week.
paying about $3.50 a pound, in contrast
with the ante-war price of "a cents.
Director Ralph admits that. the
stamps being printed at the bureau Of
engraving and printing are Of varied
intensity of color. He explains that the
available dyes are only about one
fourth the color intensity of the Ger
man dyes. To bring up the color. it
has been necessary to experiment with
mixtures to obtain the desired strength.
AS the dyes vary in intensity. the re-
suits have been uncertain, resulting in
stamps of many hues.
Slight Change in Color.
One billion stamps are printed by the
bureau every month.
1T is true" said Mr.. Ralph, 'that the
lack of German dyes has resulted in a
slight change in the color of our
stamps. The red two-cent stamps are
lighter. The eight-cent stamp. which
used to be olive green. is yellowish
green. Slight color variations may be
noted in other stamps, as we have been
without German dyes for about eight
months.
I'VE have been forced to use what
you might call adulterated colors, either
$ad OF mr.
and are not so good. 1 recently paid
in New York 81 and $3.50 a pound for
reds whereas this color could be pur-
chased a year ago for about "a cents.
The new dyes have only about one
fourth the coloring strength Of the old.
I'VE expect to get in a shipment Of
German dyes within the next few
weeks. Both England and Germany
have agreed to let this shipment come
through on the understanding that it is
strictly for government use. When this
is received the postage stamps will
brighten up in appearance"

MATTER OF JURISDICTION
DECIDED BY COMMITTEE
Carpenters. Win Dispute With the
Bridge and Structural Iron Union
Over Dock Workers.

NEW YORK. January 26.-The dis
pute Of years standing between the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners and the International Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers as to
which organization should have juris-
diction over dock workers unions has
been decided in favor of the carpenters
by a committee appointed by Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American
Federation of Labor. to determine the
merits Of the controversy. The COM
mittee was headed by John Ferguson,
president of the Maryland Federation
of Labor.
Regarded as Important.
The decision was declared by Mr..
Gompers to be one of the most i'm
portant the federation ever has been
called upon to make. Labor leaders
asserted 1t might result in tying up
contracts aggregating 100000 on
piers in New York alone.
The dispute was the outgrowth OF
the contention of the carpenters that
the iron workers were virtually act
ing as strike breakers" when they
issued a charter to the municipal dock
builders who refused to support a
strike declared by the other dock
workers Of this city in 1907 The
strikers became affiliated with the
Brotherhood of Carpenters, while the
municipal employees subsequently OBJ
tanned a charter from the iron work
ers.

KAISER is DESCRIBED
AS TIRED AND BROKEN
Correspondent Tells of Emperor's
Meeting With Bulgar King
at Nish.
Hair Is White and Absence of Old
Activity of Gesture Is
Noted.

LONDON, January 26.-The Daily
Mail correspondent, who arrived al
Nish. January IS. describes what he
range on several occasions at Nish. and
what happened at the royal banquet
where the emepror was the guest OF
King Ferdinand.
II was face to face with the emperor
directly I left the train said the cor
respondent. King Ferdinand had only
a few moments before received him on
his arrival from the west. and the
royal couple were walking up and
down the station platform without
ceremony, arm in arm. I had never
seen Ferdinand before, and 1t was eight
year since / had last seen the German
emperor.
Small Beside Bulgar King.
What a change. The emperor is
not tall man represented in his photo
graphs, and beside the great massive
figure of the hawk-nosed Ferdinand
who has a curious dncklike waddle
the great war lord seemed almost oil
minutive. The emperor wore long
gray coat, brown fur necklet and a
spiked helmet covered with Khaki
iterest in the emperor, but the Bull
garian ministers were obsequious.
How did the emperor look? Whether
it be due to the fatigues of war. the effect
of a two-day journey or i'll health, I can
not say, but his face is that of a tired
and broken man. His hair is white
though his mustache is still suspiciously
dark. There was an absence Of the old
activity of gesture.
Made Himself Agreeable.
1.-THE emperor was obviously out to
make himself agreeable. He examined
the medals of the Bulgarian soldiers with
apparent interest, and chatted with royal
affability and smiled right and left. None
the less he is greatly aged. He held in
his hand a handkerchief which he was
perpetually using, and / noticed later at
the banquet that he seemed to require il
to assuage the continual coughing. The
handkerchief was a huge Turkish affair
of red. embroidered with white Turkish
star and crescent in the corner.
AT the banquet King Ferdinand sat or
the emperors right and NJ. Radoslavoff
the premier. on his left. Next to King
Ferdinand sat Gen. Won Falkenhayn, the
German chief of staff. The emperor ate
and drank virtually nothing at the ban
quet. and it is said that he always eats
before proceeding to state functions. Ger
tainly he spent more time coughing thar
eating at Nish.
The gathering broke up quite inform
ally. the whole scene leaving an impression
of simplicity"

Directors Declare Dividend of
] Ia Per Cent for Last
Quarter of 1915.
REPORTS SHOW SURPLUS
EXCEEDING $23, 900, 900
Net Income Larger by 600 Per Cent
Than in Same Quarter
of 1914.

NEW YORK. January 26.-United
States Steel common shares were re-
stored to their regular dividend status
OF D per cent yesterday afternoon, when
the directors unanimously declared a
quarterly disbursement of IN per cent
out of earnings for the last quarter
of 1915. Total earnings of ISL ,232,7ss
for three months were the largest fol-
any similar period in the history OF the
corporation. exceeding the previous
record. made in the second quarter OF
1907, by $5,729.0s3.
The statement of earnings, no less
than the action on the dividend, was
in line with popular expectations, fore
casts having ranged from 5000, 900 to
$55,0O0.000. although the latter figure
was regarded as rather extravagant
That some fair rate of dividend would
be declared was foreshadowed in the
recent decision of the corporation &c
increase the wages of it's unskillcd la
of the common stock to employees or
the profit-sharing plan at IS.
Big Surplus Displaces Deficit.
The corporations financial condition
may be judged from the fact that it
now has cash in banks amounting to
s1o5,00o.o00. while it's surplus for the
last quarter of 1915 amounts to more
than s23,0oo.oOo. as against a deficit of
$5,606,000 in the corresponding period
of the previous year. In detail the
last report of 1915 shows total earn
ings of $51.232,7so. net income of s4O,-
S53,113. and surplus of $23.3O0.692.
There figures compare with total earn
ings of $38,710,644, net income of $780,
045,19f. and surplus of $1S,037,241 at
the end of the quarter Immediately
preceding.
Total earnings for 1915 were $780,
3S1, 296, compared with S81.746,51S in
1914. On the basis of returns for the
last quarter of 1915 and with orders
already in hand. it is believed the
Steel Corporations earnings for 1916
will run into unprecedented figures.
Showing of Earnings and Income.
In the fourth quarter of 1914. when
common dividends were altogether sus-
pended, total earnings were only $780,
933.170 and net income s6,345.25s, after
charges and depreciations amounting
to $4,38s,000 had been made. Fol
the last quarter of 1915, charges and
depreciations, together with other ap-
propriations. amounting to about $780,
5S0.000 were made, despite which the
net income is larger by over 600 pei
cent than at the close Of 1914.
The outlay involved in the disburse-
ment of the common dividend amounts
to sS.35s,7s1. which with the regula,
quarterly dividend of IL per cent or
the preferred stock makes a total divi-
dend distribution for the quarter OF

An expression of the hope Of those
in charge of the French f1otilla benefit,
te be held Thursday at the New Ma
tional Theater, that Westinghouse,
in their response to the appeal, will
give a complete fiotilla of surgical
automobiles to the front in the name
of this city, was voiced today by Miss
Caroline Lewis, on the committee of
arrangements for the benefit, as a
committee.
Sympathy with the efforts of those
in charge of the relief work has been
evidenced on all sides, it was stated,
and the fact that the French war office
is directly behind the movement has
been accepted as the most significant
evidence of it's practicability and time
illness.
Salzedo Offers Services.
1t was announced that Salzedo. the
harpist, who has been in the French
trenches until comparatively recently,
has offered his services, not only as
soloist, but will conduct the orchestra
for the accompaniment to the chorus
singing the "Marseillaise." In fact, it
will be his orchestration of the great
national anthem, written at the re-
quest of the General Governor of Toul,
which will be used.
Nine. Calve will sing the "Marseil-
laise." with a chorus of seventy five
people, accompanied by an orchestra
