WHY is INDUSTRY LIKE
A THREE LEGGED STOOL?
For a Solution of the Conundrum Read
the Following Terse Interviews,

Nle ToIoWin9 IerSe interviews,
Andrew Carnegie, who since his re,
trement from active life has devoted
himself to the study Of human rela-
tons, was recently asked which he
considered the most important factor
in industry-labor, capital or brains?
The canny Scot replied, with a merry
twinkle in his eye:
(Which is the most important leg Of
a three legged stool?"
For all the factors in industry there
is tabloid sermon in the steel man.
terse reply, a sermon which brings
home more effectively than any lengthy
discussion could possibly do, the inter
dependence Of employers and en-
ployees and the necessity for their
working together with the public to
protect the prosperity of industry.
But Mr.. Carnegie is only one of the
many authorities who have laid stress
upon this theme. Judge Ebert II.
Gary, chairman Of the board of dire
tors Of the United States Steel corpora
ton and president of the American
Iron and Steel institute, recently ex-
pressed the same idea from another
OVERWHELMINGLY, the value of loyal
ty in employees and the necessity for
cultivatlng this loyalty.
at is WELL" said Judge Gary, "for
the large number of employers to bear
in mind that they cannot successfully
carry on their affairs without having
the labor and loyalty of their EN-
ployees The work of multitudes will
always be needed for the successful
operation of business, but 1t is clear
that the skilled laborer or the highly
educated or experienced employees
would not without abundant capital

Fears for Her Infant.

Perspiration streamed down his face
and his hands were blackened and
burned. AS he stood there he felt a
little tug at the skirt of his coat. He
glanced down and saw little girl look

saying, "my name is Annie Johns. We

you think she'll burn up"
9Th hell you say" muttered Martin
under his breath. Then he nodded to
the girl. "Don't cry. I'll be back In
a minute"
And before the firemen could stop
him, unsentimental Martin Mulvihill
plunged back into the burning build
ing. He was gone only a minute.
When he came out his face was hotter
and his clothes more torn. But he
walked over to Annie Johns.
"DOn't cry, girl" he said. Here's

British shlpbuIIders Worried.

The North of England Steamship as
.sociation is anxious about the present
and future shipbUilding position of
Great Britain, and mas adopted a reso-
Tuition expressing deep concern over
the fact that large orders have been
placed with British shipbuilders by
neutral owners at E25 per ton for de-
livery after the war. This was regard
ed as a serious menace to the mari
time supremacy Of the country. The
amounts recovered for vessels lost
could not possibly be sufficient to re-
place tonnage at anything like such a
figure and the association called on
the government to take such steps as
would enable British owners to rehabil-
itate the British mercantile marine.

Chicago.-It is necessary to say that
police sergeants are cold, stern, severe,
texacting and utterly devoid of senti-
ment. 1t is only fair to say that Mar
tin Mulvihill is a police sergeant of the
Chicago avenue station. 1t is tact
there was a fire one evening recently
in the apartment building of four sto-
ries at 543 North Michigan avenue (old
Pine street,.
When Sergeant Mulvihil espied that
fire he loped to a call box, sent in an
alarm, and turned. He saw Mrs. John
Geisler lowering her infant brother
from the third floor by a rope of twist
ed sheets. He saw the heads OF
frightened occupants projected from
numerous windOws--projected, that IS,
at such times as the clouds of smoke
permitted. The whole building was
ablaze, and the fine oak woodwork OF
a time when they builded better
popped merrily in the flames.
In Nothing Flat.
MuIyihill tore for the back door, and
made the four flights in nothing nat
Charles Snery, who lived there with
his wife and child, had started down.
Snery slipped, dropped the child a
flight, and himself fell far enough to
work a fractured leg.
MulvihiI grabbed the child and
Snery and bore them out and sent
them to a hospital. Then he went back
for more. His face was burned and
his clothing was a sight. (Oh, coppers
buy their own clothing, no matter.) he
found Mrs. Otto Miller and her two
children of three and six years and

KEEP UP LABOR STANDARD
Warning European Countries Receg.
nize Danger in Re axatlon OF
Employment Rules.

Labor standards Of the warning Eu-
ropean countries, which were relaxed
at the beginning OF hOstilities when
mobilization made necessary the re-
cruiting Of women and children for
work usually performed by men, are
being restored in most countries and
strengthened in others, according to
information compiled by the childrens
bureau of the department Of labor.
Experience proved that the relax
ing of standards failed of it's purpose"
says the report. 'Defnite steps were
taken by the governments to restore
the provisions of the labor law, be-
cause they were found to be essential
not only to the conservation of the
az ailable workers, but to the quantity
and quality of their output"
Increase in the number of women
and children workers, according to the
report, has made more widespread and
serious the effects of relaxing employ
Iment standards. In France, Germany
i and Italy there has been a great IN
crease of home work on government
contracts, "with it's customary evils of
long hours and low wages"
'The point which stands out unmis-
takably from the foreign experience u
the report continues, "is the general
realization that the labor standards
achieved in times Of peace are none
too high to promote the efficiency OF
work, the intensity of output and the
general level of health which are alb
Isolutely essential to the nations wei
fare in war time"

WOMEN SUCCESSFULLY
TAKE PLACES OF MEN.

Invasion of women in the in
dustries Of the land was never
so wildly shown IS in the city
of Warren, Pa, during the past
few weeks when the calling of
over 800 young men to war Gre
ated many vacancies in the
ranks OF labor. During the past
few weeks, since the young men
responded to the call to the
training camps, women have ap-
peared in several lines of en-
deavOr into which they had pre-
viously never vcntured. Lathes
are being manned by the wom-
en- and girls and in this they ex-
eel the men, their daily output
being, after a few weeks prac-
tice, above that Of the men
formerly employed. One man
ager says: The experiment is
a success and we will use many
women hereafter. Where dex-
terity is required, the women ex-
eel the men and only on the
heavier work are they unable to
compete on an equality with the
men,"
