j. s. STEEL FUND
PENSION PAYMENTS.
REPORT MADE PUBLIC
THIS WEEK SHOWS A VERY
FLOURISHING CONDITION OF
THE UNITED STATES STEEL
AND CARNEGIE PENSION
FUND PAYMENTS.

The Seventeenth Annual Report
Of the United States Steel and Carn-
egie Pension Fund shows that in the
year 1927 the sum of $3,003, 209.02
was distributed as pensions among
retired employees of the United
States Steel Corporation and its
subsidiary companies. The Oliver
Iron Mining rompany received $113,-
330.25 for pensions.
There were 1,175 employees ad-
ded to the pension roll during 1927
and 524 were removed from the list.
At the close of the year there were
.6,3S8 on the pension roll.
The average age of the 1,175
employees retired in 1927 was $500
years; their average period of serv-
ice was 32.73 years, and the average
monthly pension, $51.45.
The total amount paid in pensions
since the Inauguration of the pen
sion plan on January 1, 1911. was
$18,386,934.77.
The beneficiaries of the Pension
Fund make no contributions to the
Fund, the income of the latter be-
ing derived from a fund created
jointly by Andrew Carnegie and the
United States Steel Corporation.
The latter provides also whatever adj
ditional moneys may be required in
the administration of the pension
plan.
The Pension Fund applies to all
employees of the United States
Corporation and its subsidiary comp
anies, numbering approximately
100000.
Last year the Fund paid to the
Vermilion Range employees of the
Oliver Mining Company a total OF
$13,729.10 the report shows. This
was divided among the following
mines and in the following amounts
Pioneer Mine-----------$4, 51S.2O
Sibley Mine +----- 2,29o.Io
Soudan Mine 6,.32.fo
Abandoned Works l---- l79.4O
The Mesaba Range mines OF the
Fund embracing Total of twelve
divisions, received a, total Of S8,-
999.15.
The smallness Of the payments
on the Mesaba as c,r,pared with the
Vermilion is accounted for in the
discrepancy in the &ges of the two
ranges. The Vermilion $ over 45
y>srs of age while the fest work on
the Mesaba only dates back to the
y,ar 1893.
The larger total in this nsck OF
the woods is among the pensioned
employees of the Duluth & Iron
Range railroad who last year re-
ceived $35,073.30. Many of the
older heads on the railroad were
pensioned last year and are now en-
Toying we'll earned rest. The
transportation department. alone ac-
counts for $20,552.20.
The Duluth, Missabe & Northern
road received a total of S13,12O.05
in pensions for its employees. The
divers share in the fund was di-
vided among the following ranges

CLARION CALL FOR
FRIENDLY LIVING BY
TUSKEGEE PRINCIPAL


world that two races radically differ
ent can live side by side in peace
and friendship and work out their
destiny together in mutual helpful
ness" said Dr. Robert R. Motion,
principal of Tuskegee Institute, be-
fore an interracial commencement
audience Of 1900 that packed and
overran the Sisters chapel of Spell
man college. I'VE have not yet
learned fully how to do it," con-
tinued Dr. Motion, but thousands OF
sincere people of both races are
working at it honestly, and encour-
aging progress is being made"
Taking as his text the parable OF
the Good Samaritan as illustrating
the second of Jesus great laws,
thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself," Dr. Motion showed how
the parable applies perfectly to the
inter-racial situation in America to-
day, and made a powerful plea for
an unselfish, Christianlike love of
humanity that will make each race
kindly, just and helpful in it's atti-
tude toward the other. Such an at
titude, he insisted, offers the onlv
hope for the solution of the inter-
racial problem. 1t will work and
nothing else will, he said, basing
his confidence on many striking in
cidents from his own observation
and experience.
IF l could keep only one OF
Jesus two great laws,' said DR..
Motion, Il would choose to keep the
second; for l very much doubt if
there is any way by which a man
may really love and serve God ex-
cept by loving and serving his fell
lowmen. Whether you can measure
up to that standard even though
your neighbor be your enemy, is the
test of both your education and your
religion, for the primary purpose of
each is to prepare people to get
along together in friendly helpful
ness" DR.. Motion spoke in high
terms of the inter-racial movement
of the hundreds of southern women
who have gone on record in condem-
nation of lynching and in behalf Of
a fair deal in race relations
The occasion of DR.. Notions ad-
dress was the joint commencement
sermon of Spelman and Morehouse
colleges, which brought out the
largest audience assembled in the
Sisters chapel since its dedication
last spring by it donor, John d.

CHANGE IN DATES FOR PoUL-
TRY MEETINGS

It has been found necessary to
to change the dates of the poultry
meetings for the Kennewick ane
}}Prosssr communities. The meeting
tates for these two communities are
just being reversed, the meeting al
Prosser being held Thursday, Deem
her 20 and the meeting at Kennewick,
Saturday, December 22.
Mr.. Buchanan finds it necessary to
attend an important conference to be
held at Pullman, December %. Be
cause Of the much Larger number OF
poultry men in the Prosser commu-
nifty, we feel that it would be better
- have Mr.. Buchanan present at the
meeting at Prosser which, will also
then, be the first meeting of the Sc
lies. We trust that poultrymen will
check these dates carefully and note
The change in the schedule.

NUTSHELL COMPARATIVELY

In discussing the marketing situa
tioii as he found it on recent visit
TO the m;dNawest, Lee NJ. Lampson
manager of the Three Rivers Growers
association, at the annual meeting of the
association in Kennewick last week
said, as reported in the Kenr1swich
Courier Reporter:
"Wlere the jobbers are. organized,
they control the market and distslbu-
ton of produce. This presents vastly
different problem than heretofore
Most of the jobbers' organizations
have been formed withir{ the last two
years.
However, they work to the ad-
vantage of the producing district as
long as the producing district is
organized.
concentrated selling is necessary
to cope with concentrated buying
The seller is shut out of the market
entirely sometimes, but when he does
sell, this method prevents loss on
cars, because they are entirely cleaned
up.
Buyers, who are organized, prefer
to buy from organized selling dis
tricts, because of Standardization and
shipping methods.
'The marketing problems of diff.
ferent products vary because OF
the different methods Of buying
Mr.. Lampson pointed out. "Aspar-
agus, for instance, is all sold on !.
private sale basis and sold to a pool
committee or individuals, white
cherries, in contrast, are virtually all
sold on auction"

SEVERAL METHODS AvAILA-
BILE FOR WATERPROOFING
SHOES

For interpreting shoes that must
pe worn IN the snow and dampnsss Of
winter the chemists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture rec
ommend the use Of one of the follow
mig formulas. Which to use, will
depend, as rule, on, the convenience
rials:
Formula !. Neutral wool grease 8
ounces; dark petroleum., 4 ounces: pa
rIatln wax, 2 ounces.
Formula g. Petrolatu1n, Is ounces:
ard beeswax, Q ounces.
Formula 8. Petrolatum, 8 ounces: pa
ratfIn wax, 4 ounces; wool grease. q
our,es; and crude turptentine gum
(gun thus), 2 ounces.
Formula 4. Tallow, IL ounces and
cod Oil, ounces.
10 apply any one Of the compounds,
mix the ingredients thoroughly after
melting. The mixture should be ap-
Piled warm, but not hot, and to all
outside parts Of the boot or sl,oe. In
the winter Sight excess over what
the leather will absorb will do 10
harm. Grease with particular care the
welt an9l the edge of the sole. Then
saturate the sole with the waterproof
iiig mixture. This can be done conye-
niently by. setting the shoes in shall
low pan that holds melted grease
enough to cover the soles. Do not put
rubber heels in such a mixture. To
waterproof the solesg of rubber-heele.i
shoes put the mixture in a PIE plate
and Let the heels hang over the edge.
Shoes SO treated are not as water
proofec) as rubber boots, but do afford
a considerable measure of protection
and resistance to wetness.
