SPRING MILLS.
Our farmers are now quite busy finishing vp
plowing.
All our merchants report a very satisfactory
business during April.
The topsy turvy business of house cleaning ond |
garden making is about over,
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Collins, of Selinsgrove, were
here last week visiting relatives and friends in the
valley,
Edward Winters did = large business on Satur-
day evening last. His ice cream being of a very
superior quality the parlors were thronged until
quite a late hour.
A. L. Duck has greatly improved the appear-
ance of the residence he owns opposite the foot-
bridge over Penns creck, with new siding and
some interior improvements, and when painted it
will be quite an attractive building.
The telephone men wiring the poles along the
road in this valley should have more sense than to
enter a field and cut down growing trees without
permission from the owner. No one would object
to having the tops trimmed so as not to interfere
with the wires but to cut them down to the fence |
is simply a high handed outrage. Thc company
should instruct their men differently or they
might become involved in a lawsuit.
John Dauberman, the reliable butcher of
Center Hall, having a large trade inour town,
makes his trips here regularly twice a week re-
gardless of weather conditions. Mr. Dauberman,
it is well known, deals only in the best and fattest
cattle and owing to the continual advance in
price of stock, was forcedto advance a few cents
in his choice cuts to save himself from actual loss,
Of late he says that his only profit consisted in
what he obtained for the hide. These exorbitant
and absurd high figures for cattle, he remarked,
could not be maintained indefinitely, but must
decline sooner or later.
Unofficial Figures Show 7,191,354 In-
crease In Ten Years.
Washington, May 5.—According to
unofficial figures of the census just
completed the population of Philadel:
phia is estimated at 1,540,429. The
population of Philadelphia in 1900 was
1,298,697. This would show an in
crease of 246,732,
The 1910 population of the United
States is estimated at 91,424,423. The
population in 1900, including Alaska
and Hawali, and naval and military
forces was 84,233,069. This would
show an increase in the ten years of
7,191,354.
The estimated population (1910) of
Greater New York is 4,563,603, an in-
crease of 1,126,401. The population of
Chicago is estimated at 2,282 926.
Vaccinate Students to Check Smallpox
Lincoln, Neb., May 5. — Chancellor
Avery, of the University of Nebraska,
directed that the students submit to
vaccination or report to the authori-
ties each day for examination, All
university gatherings have heen sus- |
pended,
up. More than a dozen cases of small- |
pox have been discovered among the
students.
Beef Trust Hit In South,
The federal grand jury at Savan.
nah, Ga., has returned an indictment
against the Cudahy Packing company,
Schwarzchild & Sulzberger, Swift &
Co., the Armour Packing company and
the Nelson Morris company as cor:
porations, and against Emmet B.
Adams, local agent for Swift & Co.;
Willilam D. Cooper, agent for the Ar
mour Packing company, and Fred M.
Hull, Jr., agent for the Nelson Morris
company.
There are two counts in the indict.
ment, one charging that the corpora-
tions sold meat at less than cost for
the purpose of putting the South At.
lantic Packing company, of Savannah,
out of business, and the other that
the local agents entered into a com.
bination to arbitrarily fix the price of |
beef, eliminating competition.
Male Convicts Wear Dresses.
All of the male convicts of Floyd
county, Georgia, are now garbed in
Mother Hubbards, this by order of the
county commissioners, This action was
taken because of the n'mnerous es-
capes recently and to promote cleanii-
ness abong the prisoners. The au.
thorities say that a convict wearing a
Mother Hubbard will find it very aiff
cult to escape and that the health of
the prisoners will be premoted by this
garb during hot weather.
The convicts bitterly opposed the
change, but the authorities found
means to make them don the Mother
Hubbards, «nd so clothed they were
put to work on the street. The spec-
tacle of fii. © able-bodied men working
in Mother !'tubbards caused much un-
usual com = «nt during the day.
So!d Family For $25.
John W. Wotsid, twenty-three years
of age. a resident of Rome, N. Y,,
gold his wife and their two children
to his neighbor, John Wingrowski,
fifty-one years old, for $25. Wotski
pocketed the money and told Win.
growski to go and claim his property.
There was a row, however, when Win-
growski went after his neizhbor's wife |
and children, with the result that the
two men were arrested and held upon
a technical charge of disorderly con.
duct.
Boy's Leg Worth $13,750.
Thirteen thousand, seven hundred
and fifty dollars for the loss of a leg
was awarded to Harold Schaffler, the
fifteen-year-old son of a police officer,
by the appellate division of the su-
preme court in New York, affirm-
ing a decision of the lower court
against the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Kailroad company. It is the
largest verdict ever upheld here for
such am injury.

SCHWAB'S PLANT.

| Thousands Labored Twc've Hours a
Day and Earned 12 1-2 Cents an
Hour—Some Were Paid on a Bonus.
Washington, May 5.—The report of
the bureau of labor upon the condi-
tions at the Bethlehem Steel works,
of South Bethlehem, Pa., which was
submitted to the senate, says that
2322 men worked twelve hours a day
for seven days a week, a large per-
centage of these laborers earning only
123% cents an hour.
{ A synopsis of the report follows:
| The strike started Feb. 4, 1910, when
| several hundred machinists struck
| against the discharge of three men
{who had served as a committee ap-
pointed to protest against Sunday and
overtime work. One of the elements of
| interest in the strike is that it was a
i strike of unorganized workmen.
| While a very considerable percen-
i tage of the force had a regular work-
ing day of twelve hours for the entire
seven days a week, a large part of the
skilled workmen had approximately a
ten and one-half hour day, six days a
week.
The men having the shorter hours
were to a considerable exient paid on
a bonus system, which resulted in
their speeding up. and they claimed
that their work was carried on at such
high pressure that overtime and Sun-
‘day work was an undue tax on their
strength. They advance the further
claim that they feared that the en-
croachments of overtime and Sunday
work would ultimately lead to putting
the twelve-hour day and the seven-day
week into practical effect throughout
the entire plant.
According to the January pay roll of
the company, of the 9184 persons an-
pearing on that pay roll 3628. of 29
per cent, were regularly
work seven days a week, and Sundav
work was not considered overtime. Of
the men whose normal week consisted
of only six days, 1412, or 14.5 per cent
of the entire number on the pay roll,
were required to do extra work on one
or more Sundays Auring the monti.
Thus 2 total of 43.5 per cent of those
appearing on the January pay roll
were required to work at least on
some Sundays. A considerable amount

appearing on the January nav rell

required in: oo "of the Agnew bills amending the
of overtime work was also required |
of the ten and one-half hour men on |
positions in which } fore with the
! scheduled to tnke
worked in positions in which twelve
hours was the reguiar working day for |
| glx davs in the week. Rightv.two men
| were reported as having a thirteen:
| hour day for the entire seven days. Al-
| together 4725. over 50 per cent of all
unary pay roll. worked in positions reg.
of labor per day on their regular work-
ing days.
Those working for 12 cents an hour
and under 14 cents in January num-
bered 2640, or 28.7 per cent of the to-
tal number on the pay roll, while 1528,
or 16.6 per cent, received 14 cents, but
under 16 cents an hour. The total
number shown as receiving less than
16 cents an hour (not including ap-
prentices) numbered 46 per cent of
the total number on the pay roll, while
5383, or 58.6 per cent, received less
than 18 cents an hour.
Huston Guilty of Conspiracy.
Joseph M. Huston, the architect of
the Pennsylvania state capitol, was
convicted in Harrisburg of conspiracy

ment of the building. It

New York, May 5.—It became known

| Lawrence D. Rumsey that an engage-
ment to marry had been entered into '
between Miss Mary Harriman and

Free Monkey Amuses 3000.
A free circus that ended in a kid-
napping entertained 3000 persons near
the Auditorium in Chicago, when
“Mike,” a large Brazilian monkey, es-
caped from a dealer's store in Wa-
the third rail without exploding, and
when trains threatened to mangle him
he hung down from the structure by
his tail, did a giant swing to a post
and soon reached a station. where he
frightened a girl ticket seller so that
she turned in a police alarm.
The streets were packed with a big
throng following the antics of the
monkey. The police could not capture
him. In flying leaps, under and over
the stracture, he set a hot pace until
he reached Van Buren street. There
he made a leap to a trolley pole, land-
ed in the street and was captured by
two newsboys, who made off with him.
His owner had offered = reward and
the police have put out a monkey
dragnet.
Senate Passes Biil Calling For $100,
000 Appropriation.
Washington, May 5.—The senate
passed the bill previously passed by
the house directing the raising of the
wreck of the battleship Maine in the
harbor of Havana and for the proper
interment of the bodies of the men
who perished at the time of the wreck
in the National Cemetery at Arling-
ton. Provision is algo made for the
erection of a suitable foundation in
Arlington of the mast from the wreck;
$100,000 is appropriated for the work.
The bill now goes to the president for
his signature.
Anti-Betting Bills Pass.
Albany. N. Y., May 5.—By a vote of
21 to 15. the senate passed the so-
called “oral betting” bill, most import- |
|
anti-race track gambling law of 1908. |
This is the first of the racing bills to
get through the senate. In a slightly
different form. as the Perkins bill, it
has already passed the assembly, and |
it is expected that the rules commit
tee in the lower chamber will accept
the change made and report the biil
out for early passage.
