The Senate labor subcommittee
investigating alleged violation of
civil liberty and collective bargain
ing rights, today made public a
list of $50 agents and "undercover"
men and women employed by the
National Corporation Service Of
Youngstown, Ohio.
The subcommittee, which is
headed by Senator La Toilette (R0

given during public hearings in
August in which officers of the
National Corporation Service told
of aiding manufacturers to obtain
reports on the labor situation in
their plants.
The organization was headed
by E. E. MacGuffin, of Youngs-
town, who testified during the
hearing he furnished a varied in
vestigation service for scores Of
companies. Testimony also was
given by former employees OF the
organization detailing their ef-
forts to learn of union activities
in many plants.
Officers of unions in the Ohio
steel and rubber district were
said to be among those who made
reports on union organization eff
forts.
The record showed that pay
ments ranged generally from $50
a month upward. Reports in most
instances were made by workers
regularly employed in various in
duStrieS.
The La Toilette subcommittee
plans to resume hearings early in
December and to further investi-
gate efforts to combat union or
ganization in the steel and rubber
industry.

according to a summary of activities
released by w. c: Mccormick. assis-

Although the largest area ever re-

done by forest fires was tho lowest in

Area covered by. fires in coopcrat-
ing counties in 1885 totaled 1878
acres $500 acres less than the pre-
viOuS year and 2S.147 acres less than
in 1893. The most striking illustration
Of increased efficiency in controlling
the Scour5c Of tho woodlands of the
state is the fact that the percentage
Of protected land burned has been re-
duced from 2.37 percent in 1888 to II
percent in 1885.
IN 1898, the average damage for
each fire was $t55 but this average
dropped to $82 in 1885. During the
same period the cost of fighting each
fire has been reduced from 81 in 1893
