State Home Employees Have
Received No Pay Since Feb. IS

JAMESBURG, March 25.-Claiming
that they are treated unfairly, many
employees at the Home for Boys are
Threatening TO leave the services of the
home if their wages are not forthcom-
ing within the next few days. The
threat to seek employment in the
powder plants seems to be justified as
the men have not received any wages
since February IS.
The pay day at the Home Is on the
fifteenth and thirtieth of each month
and the fact that no money has been
received by the employees in the thir
ty-eight days has placed a hardship
on the men who have families to keep.
Repeated requests to have the matter
adjusted has been without avail and
the men now threaten to leave the
employment of the state. Employees
are subject to call twenty-four hours a
day and receive from fifty to sixty dol
lars per month.

BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR
That country's Water Power 10 So Lit.
tie Used Is Reflection on Citi-
xens' Intelligence.

In the early days Of this country the
grist mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus
tries also located there for the same
reason, a. 81. Windsor writes in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Many Of our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many Of the best water powers were
so inaccessible, and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to the electric motor,
transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to-
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to 1t.
Every "a hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
coal energy Of 100000 tons, or $685.
O00, 900 tons each year. At O low aver
age of present prices this waste repre-
sents $1,000 100000 yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
many. This year the supply Is only
two-thirds of requirements, yet Swift
Eerland will pay Germany over $4,000,
100000 for coal. At the present mo-
ment there are undeveloped water pow
ers in Switzerland amounting to 35OO.-
600 horse power which, with $4,000
horse power already harnessed, would
make Switzerland almost independent
of outside coal supp.y.
Our own unused water powers remain
undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appeal
| to private enterprise. which naturally
Is reluctant to invest vast sums under
a franchise which may be Terminated
