among the workingmen employed in

ing to the statement of an official
of the Bethlehem Steel company. There
is some dimunition in orders for shells
from foreign countries at war, but this
decrease is offset by the increased or
ders for steel in the shape of rolled
billets, which the foreign governments
can shape into ammunition in their

SAFEGUARDING WORKERS.
Safety Devices Reduce Industrial Ac'
oidents In Pennsylvania.

Safety devices and safety first in
struction in local factories have reduc-
ed fatal accidents in Pennsylvania 30
per cent in January Of this year as
compared with the same month last
year. Factory inspectors have ordered
the installation of 10000 guards and
10000 other safety appliances.
It is stated that the pressure OF the
compensation law has done marvellous
things in safeguarding the workers. In
1911, before the compensation law was
passed, only AS safety appliances were
installed. Last year there were nearly
10000.
Manufacturers forced to conserve
their workers lives because Of the
workmen's compensation rates, have
organized safety committees, installed
appliances costing more than 81 100000
and, In reducing their compensation
costs, have cut the death toll of indus
try In half

LONDON, March 17.-Bau-
paume, the key of the German de-
lenses against which the new Haig
offensive on the western front has
been hammering, has been cap
tured.
Front dispatches on Thursday
coupled with Field Marshal Haig' 6
succinct official statement, pre-
pared the public in measure for
the welcome news of the capture
of the German stronghold -
dubbed by Hindenburg, not so
many months ago, as the Glib
raltar of the western front"
On Thursday British forces
were reported within few hun
dred yards of the Bapaume de-
lenses.
Since that time Field Marshal
Haig has been silent as to the ex-
act extent of the operations.
Military experts have predicted
that occupation by the British of
this stronghold will force an early
retirement of the Germans from
the Bapaume-Arras line.

NEW YORK, March IT,
Following conference be-
tween a subcommittee of
railway managers brother
hood chiefs and federal me-
diators, the threatened ma
tion-wide railroad strike was
postponed this afternoon for
~ hours.
The Joint mediation conference
broke up at 1885 this afternoon.
Secretary of the Interior Lane
at 3:46 made the announcement
that the railroad strike had been
postponed. His statement said:
AT our request and out of ap-
probation of the national situa-
tion the brotherhoods and the rail-
way mana gers have resumed ne
gotiatlons, and in the hops that
some adjustment may be had that
will avoid the necessity for a
strike the brotherhoods have
wired or telephoned their genreal
chairmen asking that all action be
postponed for as hours and unless
prior OF that time advised of set
Element the men will leave the
service under the authority al

1t was pointed out that this
postponement of 4S hours will al

by the supreme court on the con-
of the Adamson law

reached after a night and day of
practically uninterrupted media

PORTLAND, March II. - The
European war has demonstrated
that government ownership of
railroads is the only theory on
which a maximum amount of eff
ficiency can be obtained. declared
John Spargo, noted socialist lec-
turer, today.
Spargo expects to arrive at Ia
coma tonight, and will speak at
the Open Forum of the First Con-
gregational church in Tacoma
Sunday evening.
The European war has proved
the socialistic theory that without
public ownership there is not a
maximum amount of industrial
efficiency" he says.
Gains Converts.
"In England, under a national
lied railroad system efficiency has
increased 33 1-3 per cent since the
war started.
''In industrial lines the same
marked improvement is noticed.
When the war is over the great
masses of people are going to fight
against a return of industry to
the old basis, and therein social
ism will gain many converts.
1.-THE time has come in civilized
nations when a person is not more
than one-half educated who does
not know something of socialism
and what 1t stands for"
Double Crossed.
Speaking of the German social
lists and their apparent desertion
of their cause of internationalism
Spargo said that the socialists had
II a cardinal principle that in case
their country was invaded by an
alien foe, their pacifism would not
hold them from taking part in de-
fensive warfare.
The socialists who, in the reich
stag, on August 4, 1914, voted the
war credits, were told by Won Beth
mann-Hollweg and Won Jagow that
the Russians were already over
the border and that the Germans
did not intend to invade Belgium.
The next day, before the votes of
the socialists were even recorded,
the German troops had entered
Belgium.
