ONE DEATH EVERY 3 HOURS

Harrisburg, Pa.-One death every

HERE Is REAL "GENEROSITY'

Everett Wash-The C.-B. Lumber
& Shingle Company has employed
strikebreakers for several months in its
fight against organized shingle weavers
who are attempting to enforce a uni
form wage scale. The company says it
appreciates faithful service, loyalty and
efficiency of its present force and has
prepared an individual contract to be
signed by each employe in which the
company agrees to pay, in addition to
regular wages, 1-3sth of 10 per cent of
net profits for the year 1917.
The company makes it clear that it
Preserves the right to at any time dis
continue the services of the employe
for any reason it may see fit, and of
which it is to be the sole judge"

MIR ROCKEFELLER'S NEW
VIEWS.

Ithaca, N. Y.-The fight organized
coal miners waged in Colorado against
serfdom and political autocracy has had
its effects on the mind of John d. Rock
efeller, Jr, who stated, in an address
at Cornell University, that 'it is regret
tably true that there are capitalists who
regard labor as their legitimate prey,
from whom they are justified in getting
all they can for as little as may be.
'If in the days to come" he told the
students, "as you have to do with labor,
you will put yourself in the other mans
place and govern your action by what
you would wish done to you, were you
the employe instead of the employer,
the problem OF the establishment Of the
personal relation in industry will be
solved"

VIOLATES NINE-HOUR LAW.

Beaumont, Tex. - Federal officials
have filed suits against the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad for viola
ton of the nine-hour law which pro-
vides that no telegraph operator hand
ling train orders shall be allowed to
work more than nine hours a day in an
office that is operated continuously. The
suits involve penalties aggregating $1O,-
600. The government cites 20 separate
violations of the law between May G
and 16 inclusive and claims that opera
tors have been forced to work 12 hours
day
President Ripley of this railroad has
attracted some attention because of his
opposition to the Adamson law and the
present suits would indicate that his
disregard for all legislation of this
character has affected his subordinates

SCHOOL HOUSES ARE FIRE
TRAPS.

Boston.-Seven cities in Massachu-
sets have school houses not one of
which the state inspection authorities
will certify as safe, according to the re-
port of a legislative committee, which
has carefully investigated the condition
of school houses throughout the state.
The cities referred to are Chicopee,
Gloucester, Lowell. Medford, Melrose,
Newburyport and Newton.
MANY cities and towns" says the re-
port, "have disregarded orders from
state inspectors which would have rem
dered the lives of teachers and children
safer, and it is undoubtedly true in
some cases, as it has been hitherto
charged, that many school houses in this
state are fire traps, having been built
at various times during the last 100
years"

FAVORS COMPENSATION.

Dover, Del-In his annual message
Governor Miller has the following to
say about workrnen's compensation:
"If not present, the time is not far
distant when Delaware will be required
to follow the example of many other
states and place upon her statute books
a workmen's compensation law.
"This legislation should provide ade-
quate compensation to workmen in jured
in the course of their employment with
out imposing unjust and unfair burdens
upon the employer"

A FAREWELL TO CARLSON.

Denver,-On the retirement of Gov
ernor Carlson to private life, because
of the expiration of his term of office,
the Denver Post said:
"He will soon sink to the low level
from which by accident he was ele-
waited and pass out unwept unhonored,
unsung and unremembered, except as
the very worst governor that Colorado
ever had-and we have had some bum
ones"
The above sentiment will be agreed
to by Colorado trade unionists who
protested times without number against
Carlson's attitude during the miners
strike in the southern section of the
state.

The general manager of the company
is one of the bondsmen for the strike
breakers.
The strike has been on for three
months and was caused by an attempt

ers' commissary has testified that fights

 "One thing is certain though" 7" he said. Most of the men very evidently realized a lot of things on their visit here which they had not realized before. Anyway, they went home understanding that the entente is determined not to make peace so long as the present form of German government exists.

It is understood that at the pre- sent time there are two men con nected with the geological survey in the Dime creek section paying particular attention to the platinum deposits which have been discover ed there and with a view of dis covering the lode source of the rather scanty supply found in the concentrates. Platinum is worth somewhere around $1S0 an ounce and the price is still rising owing to the failing off in the Ural noun tain supply.

Tragedy, Tuesday Night.

Dr. j. +. 'Dobson, Miss Leon Wallace,
aged nineteen and Miss Stella Coombs
aged seventeen were drowned at
Bellaire,- Tuesday night, when an over
loaded rowboat capsized on Intermedi-
ate River. Those who escaped death
were Mrs. l.. g. Ball, Miss Cora Free
man and Sol Bricker.
Lured by the warmth and beauty of
the evening the six went down to the
boat landing shortly after nine o'clock.
Almost immediately on entering the
boat it capsized and threw its occupants
into the river. Young Bricker was
saved by Harry Friend, who CHANGED

accident Friend seized Bricker and
dragged him safely onto the dock.
bud" White, a seventeen-year-old
boy living nearby, was in bed when he
heard the tumult on the river Leap
ing from bed, clad only in his psjamas,
he ran to the dock and plunged into
the stream. One at time he brought
to shore Mrs. Ball and Miss Freeman,
both of whom were in state of hys-
terra.
The bodies of the two drowned girls
were recovered an hour after the sad
affair, and that of DR.. Dobson at l1:30.
Bellaire is in mourning because of
its loss. The aemains of DR.. Dobson
were taken to Albion, Wednesday,

FARMERS SHOOT DEER.
Say They Are Obliged to Do So to
Save Orchard and Crops.

Barnegat, n. Ocean county farm
ers are taking the law into their own
hands and shooting deer out Of season
to save their crops from the ravages
Of herds of these animals. A commit
tee headed by Ezra Parker and w. j..
Dougan returned from a visit to the
governor and said the state was pow
erless to protect the farmers or to sus-
pend the law, which provides penalty
Of 500 for each deer killed. The board
Of freeholders also was appealed to,
but members said they had no author
ity to save the crops, although Director
Otis of the board said he saw a herd
Of seven deer eating his crops.
So desperate have the farmers be-
come that they are now shooting the
deer and using the meat. The game
wardens have not made any arrests,
and 1t is question whether they could
obtain any convictions if they did.

COLUMBIA PRICES
SHOOT SKYWARo

Spartanburg, Sept. 6.-Mining
town prices continue in Columbia.
The restaurant keepers are shooting
skyward the charges for all food. The
soldiers are suffering most in the res
t~aurants. The real estate owners
continue to increase rates. One no.
tel increased its rents from $50 a
month for a room to $45. Corn
flakes and skim milk jumped from
Is to 40 cents. Fish jumped from
80 to 60 cents an order. In many in
stances house rents have been in
creased 100 per cent. Milk has ad-
vanced from IS to so cents per gal
lon. The merry ace for the dollar.
One reason for the unusual charges
for food and lodging is the large
wage paid by the contractors at the
cantonment. Men who have never
struck a lick of work in their lives
are drawing high pay as f~rst-class
carpenters. The contractors are
spending money lavishly and this
spirit has permeated the entire city.
