WAGES TO BE ADVANCED.
Employees of United States Steel Cor
pOratiOn Will Be Granted Wage
Increase May |.

An increase of ten per cent in
wages for employees of the United
States Steel corporation has been
announced by Judge Elbert H.
Cary, chairman Of the corporation S
board of directors, to take effect
MAY l. The advance will affect
employees whose wages are less than
s., 500 year, and it is presumed
that employees in all departments of
the corporation 5 activities, includ-
ing those in the mines on the Me
saba and Gogebic ranges, will be
included III the wage advance.
This is the fourth voluntary in
/ crease granted employees of the
company since the first of the year
1910. The year 1915 was an ex-
ceptionally prosperous one for the
corporation and during that year
three increases i'll wages were grant
ed, amounting i'll all to more than
80 per cent. 1t is said the recent
advance will benefit more than 90
per cent of the corporation EN-
ployes, the number of which is Civ
Ell as 250, 900.
Whether the independent com
panies engaged in the steel busi-
ness will also grant a wage in
crease has not been made known
yet, but it is thought that they
will follow the course of the steel
corporation.

May Serve Three Years.

a bill of far reaching effect to the
rural districts of the state has just
been engrossed i'll the assembly.
The measure provides that county
boards may upon their option pro
vide for the election of town super
ylsors for term of three years,
one officer to retire each year. The
bill was offered in the Legislature
bv Assemblyman f. n. Grass of
Door county. The original measure
was compulsory but the bill as ad-
yanced by the assembly gives
counties the option of putting the
new law into effect. At the present
time town supervisors are elected
for term of one year. The Grass
bill further provides that one can
didate shall specify that he is run
ming for the Office of town chair
man and when elected becomes the
town representative on the county
board for a term of three years.
Scores of petitions were received
in the assembly in the past few
DAYS protesting against the passage
of the Everett bill changing the
/ personnel of the state board of con
troll, unless the bill is amended so
as to provide for a woman member.
The present board is composed of
five members, one of whom IS a
woman. The Everett bill provides
for a board of three members who
must take up their residence in
Madison and devote their entire
time to the duties of the board
The Everett bill does not provide
that any of the three shall be wom-
en- but does provide that there shall
be a woman to visit the different
state institutions. The women S
clubs of the state declare that with
so many women confined to the
state institutions it is but just that
they be given representation by
one member on the board.
Even the blackbird may be the
subject of legislation A long peti.
ton has been presented in the as.
sembly asking ior the passage Of q
law placing a bounty on blackbirds

ately-Reason Not Given.

Muster your command in immediate
ly,' was the sense OF a telegram signed
by Maj. Gen. Leonard H. Wood. U. S. A.,
commanding the Eastern Department, re
ceived last night shortly after O'Clock
by the commander of the First Separate

Caught mapping" as they expressed it,
both officers and men of the organization
were in a moment out securing the city
for the other members of the command.
Early in the evening many members of
the organization We're stopped by police
en- and told to report to their armory at
once.
Where the boys are going, or the rea-
son for the hurry call to arms is not
stated in the telegram. 1t was expected
that the First Separate Battalion would
not be mustered in until this morning.
By midnight most of the members OF
the command had been gathered in.
The First Separate Battalion has a
record for being highly efficient and hav-
ing a high standard of the personnel.
COlOred people of Washington feel it Is
an honor to belong to the First Separate
Battalion. and for this reason the class
OF men who are taken into the organiza-
ton is high. For years the First Sepa-
rate Battalion was conceded the best
drilled unit of the District Guard.

The lives of two more Americans were

ment yesterday.
The ship sank in seven minutes, his
message said. and while no one was kill
ed, the captain was taken hostage by
the C-boat crew.
The Americans imperilled were Boat
swain Clarence Bloom, of San Francisco.
and Peter Webster. negro seaman, of
Pensacola. Fla.
close perusal of Consul Frost's dis
patch convinced naval officials that Brit
ish warships succeeded in capturing the
submarine which sank the Meath
Consul Frost stated that the Neath's
captain was taken prisoner by the U-boat
commander, and that later he LANDED at
Queenstown" This was inexpiicable TO
the STATE Department. but naval official Is
said it probably meant the C-boat itself
was captured.
The british government does not allow
news of the capture or destruction OF
submarines to he made public Thus, 1t
is believed. Consul Frost could not state
specifically that the submarine was
taken
