BARNARD BARUcH, A
SOUTH cAROLINIAN
His Mother, Miss Isabelle Wolf of
Winnsboro-At Al Years of Age
He is Worth Millions.

Mr.. Baruch is q % OF the vener-
able Simon Baruch, who is still, de-
spite his years, a leader among the
best medical thought in New York,
and was in his younger days in South
Carolina, when he entered the Con-
federate army as a surgeon and serv-
ed under the Stars and Bars as a sur
geon until Lees surrender. DR..
Baruch was practicing medicine at
Camden, 8. c., when his son Ber-
nard M. was born there, August 10,
1870. DR.. .Baruch is or Prussian
birth, being born in Schwersenz, near
:Posen. Mr.. Baruch's mother, who
was Miss Isabel Wolfe Of W~innsboro,
s. c., is, however, Of old American
stock, being a member Of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.
Mr.. Baruch was brought to this
city from the South when he was II
years old, his parents coming to Man
haitian to live chiefly because of the
better educational advantages here
for their sons. Bernard Immediately
was sent to the public schools here
and then was graduated a bachelor
of arts from the Colleg Of the City
of New York when he was 10 years
old.
Started at So a Week. :
The day after his graduation he
went to work for Whitall, Tatum and
Company and was assigned to. weigh
ing the mails at So a week, BE stuck
to the mail weighing joba year, when
he got a new job in a small bank, for
a while, after he took a trip to Eu-
rope with his father. While he was
abroad his mother obtained a place
for him in the growing firm of A. A.
Housman and Company. Here he
got into touch with the big men of
Wall Street and in time was made a
partner in the firm solely because Of
the great genius for finance he had
shown. Although he had entered the
Housman firm at the age of 26 he
retired from it at 80 worth more
than 100000
In the meantime he had taken a
night course in public accounting,
law and economics and passed his
bar examination. Then after a short
trip to Europe he was sent by Wall
Street f~nanciers on a business trip
through the West, during which his
work for the Guggenheim interests
and others was so successful that he
decided Wall Street was his forte,
not the bar; and from that time on
he stayed in the financial district here
and soon had amassed a great for
tune.
It is little more than a score of
years ago when Mr.. Baruch-who
was At years old last Sunday was
working as a clerk in Wall Street for

ancially as the owner of a fortune
somewhere between $4,000, 900
and $4,000, 00O."

their eXploitative rights as enforced themselves by their economic might
OUR COMPENSATION LAW.

1t is always a pleasure to refer to Alaska's freak compensation law. It was to do away with trouble some litigation and to protect the poor workingman in his rights. It was only opposed by the labor agl- tators and the shyster lawyers; while altruistic mining companies and high minded politicians all o1 them gave the measure unstinted recognition as constructive legisla- ticn of a nigh order. In prooI of which read the subsidized Juneau papers at the time of it's passing.
 In order that the beauties and justice and fairness and other ex- quisite attributes of this measure may be always before us, we clip the following from the Juneau Elm pire, December 20, The Empire be- ing by the way one of the noblest and unselfish boosters of this legal monstrosity:
 1 lie case Ol NICK Demmer against the Alaska Gastineau Mining Com pany for damage for partial disa- bility from injuries received is still Dragging its way through the Dis trict Court. Many of the doctors and dentists in the city have been on the stand and testified about broken bones, the loss of teeth and the taxing of X-ray machines
 After the case had dragged" it's way through the court for another two days or so, the jury awarded him five per cent of his earning ca pacity as being permanently disabled to that extent. In round numbers Demmer will get theoretically $40 What he will get in actual practice after the lawyer fees, witnesses and other expenses are paid will be double 0.
 Is there any question as to the Industrial Workers assertion at the tune of the passage of this law that it would more correctly have been entitled the Limitation of Employ. CTS Liability Act?

FOR THE UNORGANIZED.

For the first time since it's orga- niation the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe had two million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to distribute to it's employees after the dividends had been paid. It was quite sum. That is if distributed among a few workers, but when it is divided up among the whole bunch of unorganized employees 1t is hardly a decent mouthful.
 But that does not matter. What IS worth noting is that when this big melon was ready for distribu- tion the railroad comptroller stated that not one cent would be given to the brother hoods or other members of organized labor. It was the reward for the unorganized. Considering that the unorganized workers reach q standard of pay is a disgrace to civilization ill it's inadequacy to af- ford decent living, God knows they could stand a whole lot. And ii they are to be gulled by such fool ish bait into continuing unorga- nized they deserve no better fate.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

One mans word is good until ai,. | other mans is heard. That's only a
 making over of an old saw and is not an epigram. It was proved the other day quite incidentally. When
 the American Meat Packers Associa- tion held its convention in Syracuse New York, the president declared i that there was no reason for any strikes in the industry; that em- ployees were well treated; that they had good wages and had everything that they needed and these disturb ances were quite without any justi.
 fication at all. He got away with that amid the applause of his fellow packers until the papers heddlined it and commented upon it with unc- toned approval. Then comes along the Butcher Workman, devoted to the interests of employees in the industry. with quite another story:
 ITO find men in the large meat industries who are satisfied you wIl! have to go to the offices, for the con ditions of the men working in the plants are now, and have been for many years. worse than Africa Il slavery. Under the present system the worker is not considered as a human being, but is known as cog or unit in the machinery. He is not allowed to look up nor to speak, but is compelled to bend over his work, making one continuous mo- tion, until in some instances he goes insane And that for the paltry sum of an average less than seven dol lars a week.. So you. see while
 such a state of affairs may be. ideal to the President of the American Pacers Association, it does not com
 mend itself at all to the workers when they size it up. Truly and verify and immutably and for ever, the working classes and the employ ing classes have nothing in com mon, and they certainly cannot size up a job alike. We all know why.

SCIENCE IN LABOR.

It is a strange thing that it takes s war to compel a really scientific
 study of labor efficiency. In Am erjcan industrial life there are more efficiency experts than you can shake a stick at. They have two or three slogans but all come down to tn" fine point: standardization and speeding up.
 But in England they did not allow theory to enter into their investiga- lions at all. They sent their inVestl- gators into the factories and dl- rccted them to get the results. The results are not little astonishing
 One was that the hourly output lE' creased per employee with the short ening work day, another was that it's quality also reached higher grade. The employee seemed to re- act to every stimulus. Increased light, more cheerful surroundings, happy reunions, prospective hoH- days and genuine pleasurable rests all improved the work and increased the output. It was nothing short 0f marvellous the way the output increased around holiday time and the grade of the work improved as well. Overtime labor lacked qual- ity of output as well as quantity at 1he time, and it deterioratea the quality and quantity of the work Oh the following day. It was con demned as "physiologically extra vagant". That was the exact phrase used. The total daily output was actually diminished by making the individual workers operate during over time. |, Of course none Of these investi- cations were conducted for the ex- press purpose of bettering the con .ht,ons of the workers but 10 effect 4 greater and better output. It is like ihe efficiency system of the Am arican employer who is concerned merely IMAtn increasing HIS pioHIo'

Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or calluss stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
Is inexpenslye- and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.
