STEEL MILLS SLOWING DOWN
Workers Are Beginning to Feel the
Effects Of the Recent Readjust-
ment In Prices.

Workmen employed in q number Of
the smaller Independent steel plants
In the Pittsburgh district are begin
ming to feel the effects Of the re-
adjustment in steel prices. Working
time is being cut.
Heretofore laborers employed twelve
hours a day have been working on an
eight-hour day bass-that is, they
were paid at the regular rate Of 48
cents al hour for eight hours and time
and one-half for the remaining -four
hours. The man who worked these
hours received 1914 a day, and the
man who worked ten hours got $500
q day.
With the extra time cut OF. all la
borers will receive pay for eight hours
work at 46 cents an hour, which means
a reduction In income for the twelve
hour men Of AZ per cent and for the
ten hour men Of q per cent. This
class Of labor constitutes about 40
per cent Of the men employed In the
average steel mill.
Some reduction in the working
forces in drafting rooms were report
ed from q number Of plants.

You make fun Of me because, as
justice of the peace, I had no Office,
but made my law books and the
street my office. Yet Abraham Lin
coin, when a poor lawyer, made his
tall hat his office and kept his law
papers there. Probably some Knocked
him because he had no Office and was
compelled to make his hat serve as
a filling cabinet. Probably that, too,
was un-American.
You say I am going west. You
say it in the same tone and with the
same words that our soldier boys
say it when they speak Of the killing
in battle of a comrade. "He has
gone west" I may be dead to you,
and death may meet me any day
but the words I have said and the
good I have striven to do will live
after me and after the gibes you have
flung at me r forgotten.
You say I was defeated for re-
election as justice of the peace, and
rather smile over it.. You could have
been kinder, this Christmas time, to
have told the truth and to have said:
"he went about telling his friends and
the voters that he did not want it
and that he expected to leave for the
coast to be gone until next summer, at
least, and for that reason he failed Of
election" It would have been a little
more decent to the "little old man
with the big heart"
You have put me "outside the circle
of Americans who think the constitu-
ton good enough and powerful enough
to guarantee US real liberty" Per-
haps l am where you put me. Per-
haps l am where I put myself-a sup
porter of that constitution as the
guardian of my liberty, but not a
worshipper of it. "Thou shalt have
no other God" still stands, and there
is no human document that we may
make a fetish of and fall down and
worship. Our constitution has been
changed repeatedly to meet changing
conditions. 1t is not perfect-it is
being perfected. If / suggest that
it stands still as the nation and the
world grows-am I un-American?
If l propose changes to it that I be-
lieve will make people happier and
better-am I a blasphemer of sacred
faith in the Constitution only because
faith i nthe Constitution only because
it grows and anything that grows
has the divine spark of life in it and
for it l would lay down my life. That
may be un-American, but you will re-
member that l am a little man, with
stoop shoulders and small piercing
eyes, and therefore unable to do as
much as the powerful and the wealthy
and the great to protect and cherish
it. Yet-what more can a man give
than his life?
Thanking you and wishing you a
Merry Christmas and Glad New Year,
I am,
Yours sincerely,

In Regard to Style.

If a person admires a particular
method OF arranging words, that ar
rangement will occur naturally in his
W diction, without malice afore-
thought. Some writer's unconsciously
fall into the mode of expression
adopted by others. This illustrates a
similarity of disposition, and is not
imitation. AS a style, when it is nat
ural comes rather from the heart than
the head, men of similar tastes and
feelings will be likely to fall into q
similar form of cxpression.-Edwin P.
Whipple.
