SENATE COMMITTEE

Railway Head, Anticipating Re-
port, Raises Wages of Non-
Union Employees.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-After be-
ing raked fore and aft by commit
tee of the United, States senate, which
is investigating the strike against the
Washington Railway and Electric
company, President King has an
nounced that wages of his non-union
employees will be. raised.
Officials of the Street Car Mems
union say the company sees the hand
writing on the wall and anticipates
the report Of the. senate committee
by granting voluntarily some. of the
increases which it is: certain the COM
mittee will recommend.
Representatives of the District of
Columbia federation Of citizens as
sociations attended meetings of the
senate investigating committee and
William NICK. Clayton, representing
the federation, said:
Il attribute the company's wage in
.creases largely TO the efforts of or
ganized labor. since it was through
this agency that the real conditions
under which these employees worked
were revealed. The federation is
pulling nobody's chestnuts out of the
fire, but the fact that the organized
employees made the collective. protest
that brought about the senate in
vestisation and the fact that only
those employees included within the
scope of the complaint are included in
the increases, certainly makes it ap-
pear as victory for organized labor

HEALTH PROTECTION
FOR WORKERS NEEDED

The supreme court of Illinois has
awarded $4,000 as compensation in a
case of death from occupational lead
poisoning. Mary V. Sheetz was COM
positor in the printing department of
the InternationaI Harvester company.
She contracted lead poisoning in the
course Of her employment and died.
Suit was brought in behalf of her es-
tate under the occupational diseases
act and the liability of the company
affirmed by the. circuit court, the ap-
pellate court, and finally by the SUI
preme court: This judgment has
aroused wide: interest since there have
been few awards for occupatiohal dis
eases, such as lead, wood alcohol, and
mercury poisoning and anthrax. In
view of the many sickness hazards in
industry and the large number of vic
Tins who never secure compensation,
it is being suggested that full protec-
tion Of the workers requires a public
system Of universal health insurance
to provide medical care and cash
benefits as we'll as to stimulate meas
ures of prevention.

concentrate their efforts in the new

INJUNCTION STOPPED

Illinois Supreme Court Evades
Request to Pass Upon Right
of Free Press.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 19.-The
Illinois state supreme court has re-
versed Judge Frederick Smith of the
Cook county circuit court, who SEN
fenced Jan Michalek, striking MALE
able iron worker, to 10 days in Jail
and to pay fine Of 500 for vielat-
ing an injunction. He was found
guilty of causing the publication Of
a strike notice and call for a meeting
of strikers in Polish newspaper in
Chicago.
While Michalek will not go to Jail
the fact remains that the strike was
broken by the injunction and the SUI
preme court has lodged the request
of the Chicago federation of labor.
Michalek's defender, that it pass upon
the right of free press. The court
evades this request and makes no
comment on the principle involved, al
though it does hold that Michalek did
not violate the injunction and Judge

WAR PROFITS =

A comparison is made of.the profits
Of twenty-four: Of the leading indus
trial corporations of the country with
the dividends paid in~19l3 and those
paid in 1916, and these increases may
be expected to continue. Comparing
the increased earnings and the in
creased stock values of two of these
corporations, we get still more con-
crete idea of the increased wealth
which offers the country a ready
source of war taxation without re-
sorting to the expedient Of taxation of
small incomes and increased taxes on
the necessities of life to meet the enor-
NOUS burden of war taxation. The
table in part furnished by the govern
ment census follows:

Shareholders Of the railroads have
also improved their position since the
war began. In 1913, the net operat-
revenue was approximately from
1915 to $500 per mile in January. In
1915, the net operating revenue was
approximately 1897 a mile in January
to $3.50 a mile in October Of the same
wear. The net revenue for the rail-
roads earning over one million dollars
per annun for the six months ending
January 1, 1917. was practically $780,
100000, which is the largest recorded
sum of profits in any one year in the
history of American railroading.
Then, the question arises: Should
the great corporations who have pro-
fitted so greatly from the war, pay
their just and equitable share of the
wars burdens? That is a question for
the president and the congress to de-
eide, whether they shall follow the
course of the British government and
cohfiscate through the taxing power
these enormous profits.
That is the issue which congress
must meet at once.

LETTER FROM
A MILDLY"

Norfolk, Va, November 81, 1917
Dear Editor-Leaving Camden on
November Z | arrived here two
days later. The trip from Nash
vile to Norfolk was an enjoyable
one as Uncle Sam furnished US
Pullman Accommodations.
We passed field after field of
shocked corn sown in wheat. This
was the only crop of much import
ance to be seen and there seemed
no end of it.
We were yaccinated and given
cur clothing and sleeping outfits
the day our bunch arrived. Since
then we have been given daily
drills and setting up" exercises.
Our uniforms are white and we are
required to keep perfectly clean
even though we must wash every
day. Cleanliness" is our byword.
We enjoy the privileges Of an
excellent library, in which are a
number of religious books as well
as novels and business books. Our
home customs are partially con-
tinued by our attending church on
Sunday.
We are just in the detention
camp now but may be moved to the
main camp at any time. 1t is in
this camp that the first pengs of
homesickness usually occur. But
il does not affect us all by any
means. 1t seems to be prevalent
among those who have been going
to school or had some other "loose
string" job. If | were released
here l would "do it over again."
Now, [ would say to my friends
that although / can't conveniently
write each of you, l promise to re-
ply to all communications. 1t will
be worth much to me if all of you
write and would be rather dlscour-
aging if I never heard from home.
IL you want to know anything [
have not written, let me know and
/ will endeavor to tell you.
My address is Company 80, U.
S. N. Training Station, Norfolk,
