FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.

Trade Unionism Prevails Against Long
Hours and Low Wages.
That trade unionism is first line OF
defense against long hours and low
wages is the testimony Of the sur
vey report on industrial conditions In
Springfield. H., made by the depart
ment of surveys and exhibits of the
Russell Sage foundation. The evidence
is offered in the calm language of a
nonpartisan statement of fact. 1nves-
tigators from the New York headquar-
tiers of the foundation collected the
original data, and half score of ex-
perts elaborated in checking the re-
suits and preparing the recommended
lions.
The full report will say, among other
things, that the investigation revealed
Shorter hours as the rule in union
shops" Among employees in those
shops, for example, 81 per cent had an
eight hour day, while in the morgan
lied establishments only per cent
worked eight hours or less. Only Ii
per cent of the men in the union
shops, moreover, worked ten hours as
compared with 81 per cent in the non
union work places. These figures tend
strongly to support the trade unionists'
point that organized workers are able
to gain, and do gain, for themselves
advantages which workers acting in
dividually do not enjoy, and they re-
flute the claim of many employers
who oppose organization Of their work
ers that they voluntarily grant all Of
the benefits which employees might
secure through the union.

PROTECTS CHILDREN.
New York's New Labor Law Provides
For Better Education.

New York's New Labor Law Provides
For Better Education.
The Wellington law, the New York
state ehild labor statute, which went
into effect Feb. 1. provides that chill
dren must remain in school until they
are fifteen before they can receive per-
mits to work. Only those children can
go to work before they are fifteen who
are graduates of elementary schools.
1t is believed that the number of chill
dren leaving school will be materially
decreased under the new law.
The Wellington law imposes upon
the state industrial commission the
duty of supervising the issuing of work
permits to children by the health otii-
GERS.
George A. Hall, secretary of the New
York child labor committee, said: 1.-THE
members of the committee are much
gratified at the advance in the stand
ards of child protection which are ac-
complished through the Wellington
lawIt should be clearly understood
that the law does not affect the $4,000
children of the state who have been
legally certified to go to work during
the last year. Not single child will
be taken out OF d factory or store as
a result Of the new law. 1t affects only
the children who win seek work per-

Who invented the first submarine
boat, and what country built the first
one?
The first submarine boat ever built
was invented and constructed by David
Bushnell, who was born in Connecticut
In 1742 and graduated at Yale college
in 1775. While student he expert
mented on the subject, and the year
following his graduation he designed
and built a submarine torpedo boat,
which he called 'The American Tur-
tle." While the Revolutionary war was
In progress he attempted to destroy a
fifty gun British man-of-war In New
York harbor, but was prevented by an
accident. However, he demonstrated
the feasibility of his plan, which in
volved many of the principles Of the
fighting submarines now in use. Gen
eral Washington commended his pa
triotism and assisted him in continuing
his experiments. Bushnell died In
1924. A few years after Bushnell an
other American built submarine boat
applying and developing the same
ideas. This was Robert Fulton, inven-
tor of the steamboat. In 1897 Fulton
went to Paris to secure the adoption of
bis plan, and in letter to the French
directory he said "The enormous COM
merce of England, no less than Its gov
eminent, depends upon its navy. Should
some vessels Of war be destroyed by
means so novel, SO hidden and so In
calculable las submarines), the conf
dence of the seamen will vanish, and
the feet will be rendered useless from
the first terror To friend in Amer
lea Fulton wrote from Paris, Nov 20,
1898: 81 would ask any one if all the
American difficulties during this war
are not owing to the naval systems of
Europe and licensed robbery on the
ocean? How, then, is America to pre-
vent this? Certainly not by attempt
ing to build feet to cope with the
fleets of Europe, but, if possible, by
rendering the European fleets useless"
Bonaparte appointed three expert
naval engineers to examine Fulton's
plans, and on their approval he adj
vanced money to build submarine.
She was built under Fulton's direction,
but for some reason was never tested.
All later experiments in submarine
navigation, including submarine war;
ships now in use, were developments
of ideas originally advanced by the
two Americans above named.
When and where was the telephone
first used in business?
The first commercial telephone was
installed in the office of ]. Lloyd Haigh,
at 81 John street, New York, In 1877,
and connected with the Haigh foundry
In Brooklyn. Telephoning thus began
simultaneously in both cities.
