dency this week
Manufacture of cigars here is

erings and furniture are moving In
better quantity. Activity in build
ing, especially in the suburbs, Is
becoming increasingly apparent and

There is a fair demand for automo-
biles being shown and this extends
to used cars. The paper business
is dull, moving only by fits and
starts.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 4.-The
Carnegie Steel company has had to
come to the aid of a cooperative
store opened by its employees at
Homestead. The store was financ-
ed by selling $4,000 worth of $40
cards which gave the owner the
privilege to purchase at the store
which was to be operated without
profit After a short period it was
found that the store was $11, 900
in debt, with no money in sight to
meet the obligations. The steel
company will pay the $1,000 and
has contributed $4,000 worth of
foodstuffs to be divided among the
holders of 81 cards, although it
was in no way connected with the
enterprise.

THE WAY I WASH MY
CLOTHES

am old-fashioned enough to
believe that while better house
hold machinery and materials
have been invented than our
grandmothers had, nothinge equals
their Vay of doing things.
That is why | always soak my
clothes. After sorting them |
soak them in Rinse, using enough
tomakea good sudsthatwill stand
up even after the clothes are put
in. | let them soak for an hour -
or longer if | am busy about other
things-for | have discovered that
Rinse won't injure them in the
least, yet it soaks out more dirt
than any other soap.
Then | rinse them. The first
rinse water is terribly dirty but
every bit of dirt that is soaked out
means that much less rubbing.
| only rub neckbands, and the
like. Every three or four weeks
| boil my white things-except
fannels, of course-using enough
Rinse to get a mild suds.

PITTSBURGH.

Pittsburgh, Pa April THE
miners strike has not interfered
with production in other lines of
industry in this section. There is
an abundance of coal stocked and
large amount on railroad sidings.
No union mines have been pushing
coal production and stock on hand
and supplies in sight lead to the
hope that the controversy will be
settled before industries are vitality
affected.
The fact is that sufficient non
union coal is being produced to
meet the demand. Very few non
union miners responded to the
strike call and the numbers OF those
who did have been Offset by the ad-
ditional workers employed since
Monday.
Steel production continues on the
upgrade. Additional furnaces and
mills are going into operation and
! prices have a tendency to move to
| higher levels. Weak spots in the
market are being eliminated and
the order departments of some OF
LQG larger AaNC bCCAA
i working overtime Steel makers
are warning against undue optim-
| ism, but the industry is steadily
moving toward normal. Glass is
following in the wake of steel with
plate glass in special demand. The
/ plants of the larger glass compa-
MES are practically at normal pro-
| duction.
ST. PAUL.
ST. Paul, April 4-The fact that
country bankers are seeking invest
ments is regarded by financiers
! here as sound evidence of improved
conditions in the Northwest Farm
laborers are being sought at wages
: of $50 and $40 a month with hous-
! ing and food. Both wholesale and
retail trade have shown improve
ment as the warmer weather ap-
proaches. Soil conditions are eX-
cellent and a normal crop acreage
! is assured. The mill demand for
| wheat is strong and railroads re-
port steadily increasing freight
traffic
The northwest has 90-day coal
supply on hand. Lumber mills and
! copper mines are reopening and
extensive railroad improvement
work is under way. The establish,
ment of the federal grain grading
system is asserted will cost the
! farmer 80 cents a bushel and the
/ Minnesota Railway and Warehouse
commission plans to take legal ac-
! ton to bring about revocation OF
! the order making grading obliga-
tory.
/ Freight shipments to and from
this city are steadily increasing
on both the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads. Section work
of the Chicago, Great Western has
been let out to the A. S. Hecker
company of Kansas City and 100
section hands have been laid off by
the railroad. Officials estimated
they will save 100000 a year. Re-
employment was offered the men
laid off at 2713 cents an hour or
1212 cents less than the labor
board price.

CHARGES FUR COMPANY WITH MAKING ENORMOUS
 PROFITS ON FUR SEALS

WASHINGTON, July 22. - Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who has been urging his resolution for the investiga- ton of the governments methods of dlsposing of the fur seals taken from the Pribiloff Islands in Alaska, ad- dressed the Senate on the matter yes terday, and charged the Fouke Com pany of St. Louis, which contracts with the government for disposal of the furs, with enormous and uncon- scionable profits from their transac- tions. He strongly urged the passage of his resolution to investigate the operations and earnings of the com pany which receives twenty dollars for treating the fur of the seal killed. The senator declared that through the contract which the company has with the Commerce Department, the com pany receives the lions share of the profits from the sealing operations. He asserted that many skins are sold for less than the government pays the Fouke Company for treating them.
