Empty Outcome of the Steel Strike

IT Is perhaps impossible to know how much
tho steel strike has cost tho nation. For
weeks and months many plants were practi-
cally or partially closed Tens OF thousands
OF men were out OF employment for varying
periods OF time and builders from end 10
end OF the country were compelled to sus-
pend operations until the steel companies
could muster enough men TO resume pro-
duction.
Tho strikers themselves have calculated
that their losses in wages amounted to more
than $40, 600 600 and the steel companies
figure that they have lost not less than ten
times as much by reason OF reduced activity.
strike expenses and other circumstances. 1t
is, therefore, not too much to say that tho
country at large has suffered economically to
the extent OF half billion dollars because
the steel workers and their employers en-
gagged in bitter wage duel instead OF meet
Ing as men mutually interested and agree
ing upon settlement.
Nor has either side 10 this dispute any
thing positive to show for the sacrifices il
has made. The men themselves have lost
their fight. They frankly confessed this
when weeks after the strike had collapsed
their leaders publicly advised them TO return
to work if the companies would take them;
If not, to find jobs somewhere else And
the steel corporations have gained nothing
buf the Vlndication OF an abstract principle
They opposed collective bargaining in their
trade and beat down the demand for it. but
they have paid staggering price for that
empty victory.

losses and to hold the bag" gets nothing

the prolonged struggle between the steel

AMONG THE NEW THINGS seen in the realm of fashion is the white suit frock made on the lines of the sailor suit which the small girl has worn for several seasons, or at least decidedly tailored, are being worn in the east since the arrival of Sir Thomas Lipton and his yachters.
 Another new note is the umbrella of oiled silk in bright colors, the transparent effect being carried even to the handles.
 Fashion goes even farther and shows parasols with leather bound edges, amber ribs and leather ham, dle. These are smart when carried with leather trimmed suit or coat.
 Perhaps the last note in the sym phony of dainty colorings for lingerie is the appearance of yellow, held to be not only striking but ultra smart. Buttercups and marigolds make at tractive trimming and even garmslts of white must boast of a bit of yell low, if they are to be up to the min- ute.

 Individual days show peculiarities. it is difficult to predict what the day may bring forth and to determine what additional help may be needed during the day or how to arrange most advantageously the shifts of the regu- lar telephone operators who handled the Warren District calls.
 During the busy hours six operators ale at the local switchboard. An op- orator can handle the numbers of 250 subscribers during the busy period, or 500 numbers during the non-busy hours, but this does not mean that all subscribers use their numbers during that period In addition to the local operators four toll operators are need ed to handle the long distance calls on the toll system.

Bisbee Phones
 Busy During the Rush of Daylight

The Bisbee telephone exchange handles 10,900 calls daily, the peak load of the day being 9:3o 10 1o:sU a. m., with 1,125 calls during that time.
 The knowledge of the average tele- phone subscriber as to the telephone system he uses many times daily is limited to one receiver, one transmit ter. and a voice on the wire-that's all. A number is called and if there is delay of few seconds down goes the receiver and the subscriber curses the service, not knowing that he is calling at the peak-load period of the day. when lines for the time are carrying full load.
 The explanation is carried on the chart herewith prepared by the Daily Review as suggestion to telephone subscribers of their cooperation in the improvement of the service
 The hello curve" on the chart shows the variation in the number of calls from hour to hour tnrougnou, the day, and Is based upon the average days business.
 The day opens with 150 calls at 7:S0. As the stores and shops open the load increases and there are T5U calls registered the first hour.
 From S:30 the rate Of increase grows faster and faster, as the busi- ness offices open up and orders are sent out and received by the stores. and at 10:00 o'clock the peak-load of the day Is reached, with the rate of 1.125 calls an hour, or approximately 19 calls a minute being handled by the exchange.

 All this in the face of the prevail ing modes of knee length skirts so conspicuous in Paris at the present time. In fact a person with a skirt longer than this is immediately spot ted as a foreigner and labeled as probable American.
