BIG, HUSKY TYPISTS
MUST YIELD JOBS
TO CRIPPLED FOLK
Midvale Steel Company
Plans Unique Philanthropy
to Give Equal Chance to
the Unfortunate.
Cirl Workers to Lose Their Mo
nopoly on a Profession That
Has Been Their Stronghold If
Other Concerns Adopt the Idea.
Is stenography that profeMlon which
has lone been the working girl's strong
holda flttinc occupation Tor a big, hmky
man, 6 toot and over, and, let us pay, a
reserTOlr of brawn and good red blood?
"Was hitting the kes of a typewriter
and fashioning unintelligible tittle fish
hooks ever meant to be the life-work of
such a creature?
The Midvale Pteel Company, out at
XieKown, has come t the conclusion
that It was not. It has decided that thl
sedentary profession Is better suited to a
type of workers other than the men who
are now filling these positions at the
works, arrd to this end the male stenog
raphers will have to go from one depart
ment, at least. They are going to be
supplanted, but not by the class that one
would suppose to be their logical suc
cessors. No, not women, but cripples are going
to be taken on as stenosraphers In the
treasury department of the Steel Com
pany. WAGES START AT 315 A WEEK.
An order has been Riven to a bit;
typewriter concern In town to round up
all the cripples who are proficient stenog
raphers, and at the same time thn type
writing people have been charged to
get other Jobs for the men whose normal
limbs and strong physiques will preclude i
them hereafter from this sort of em
ployment in the Midvnle Company. .
It dosn't matter how badly a man is
maimpd, If h i a good stenographer
he. can qualify for a position. He will
be paid $1. a week to start, nnd if he
proves efficient he may consider his job
a life one. And h will not be put
to th hardship of competing with
stronger men All of the emplnves in
this department who do the same kind
of work that he does will be working
under the same handicap which to the
cripple's iensitire nature means much.
The typewriting house has alrad;. em
ployed three clippies, who are to take
up this work at the Midvnle plant, and
is on the lookout for more.
If the plan vorks out satisfactorily, and
there is no rennon to suppose that It
will not. a big new field will have been
opened to the unfortunate whose
crutches nnd deformed limbs have al
ways been more or less of a bar to their
obtaining steady emploment. For no
matter how much gray matter a man
may possess, or how manually dexterous
he may bo, there are few firms that
win pay a man, not ph steady active,
the average wage.
UNIQUE TYPE OF PHILANTHROPT
It Is generally eipeeted that with au-h
a large and world-renowned cstaollsh
ment as the Midvale Company setting th
example by inaugurating a philanthropy
probably unique in the commercial his
tory of the eitv, and this without anv
loss to Itself, ether firms will be on the
keen lookout to i how the enterprise
prospers, and It mai be that the time
honored stenographer of the flotloneer-,,
she of the blonde head and Me chewing
gum. will loso her monopoly.

JUBILANT BOSTON PLAYERS
DODGE STALLINGS' CURFEW
Braves' Manager Had Anxious Hour Getting His Men
To Bed Hank Gowdy's Tango Stopped Some
Went To Sec a Fight.
If you are laboring under the imprerelon
that the job of manak'tns a bae-ball team
even though It be one of the contestants
for the world's championship is a
feather-lined, soft-padded one, you ought
to have bi-en up at the Hotel Majestic
lat night, the Philadelphia home of the
R titon Bravo, and have wn George
Stalling give a demonstration of the
thforv of perpetual motion when the time
rollffi around for his tubilant boys to turn
in an.1 Bft under the "klvertt."
The reason for this gentleman's gyra
tions were not hard to find The clock
was nearlng eleven, the bed-time hour
of ail good Brave, nnd all of them had
not reported In the lobby. Like a dis
tracted hn whose chick refuse to come
to rort, Mr. otnllinta ran hither and
on in an endeavor to round them up.
"Has Hick been put to bed yet?" ho
asked anxiously of Jimmy Xearj. the
trainer ,
From the anxiety of his tones, the in
terested onlooker gathered that nono
other than the relentless to his enemies,
at least Rudolph we the subject of hla
golicitude ...
"Has Maransille turned in yet? And
what has become of James and Oowdy?"
wtre his next anxious questions.
Downstairs an energetic orchestra
plaved sfductlve tunes in acompaniment
and all Philadelphia seemed to be danc
ins the baseball tango In honor of the
heroes of the hour. These same heroes
had hoped to be among the worshipers
of Terphslehore, to substitute whirling
for twirling, especially since the mem
bers of the Cb.ln-f-'hln Company had been
told to come after the show and meet
the first day's victor, but Papa gtallinga
decreed that the boys could not stay up
for the company, and that woe the end
on't.
The big manager, however d.d not have
long to wait. Before he had had time
to quit run down, the Braves returned
to the hotel, en masse and reported that
their fighting blood having been aroused,
i hey had stopped In at a prize light to
see Kddle Murphy, of Boston, "llek the
tar" out of a sailor.
"Boston's lucky day," some one was
heard to remark-
"Who's that tali, handsome boy with
the soft brown eyes and curling lashes?"
a feminine admirer aaked eoulfully.
That tall, handsome boy with the spft
brown ye and curling lashes was none
other than Bill James, the California
2S-year-older. who. if ou ask him, will
tell ou that he Is single and seldom
smiles, though he does not infer that the.
one necessarily folluws the oiher.
James was immediately surrounded by
a little group of hero worshipers, and
pretty n he was dep in an explana
tion of the spitliall. the employment of
which is hut own favorite method of
making his opponents sad.
"It jou are in prattk-e, you can throw
a srotball without having it make a Jn
gle i evolution ' He stuck out his long,
prehenslble Angers and gave, a demon
stration. "All that you have to do Is to put rosin
on vour first two fingers, spit across the
top of them and throw your b,ill."
An Idiot wanted to know If the mois
ture was for luck.
-Elmer strtcklett." he continued, "is
responsible for the spit ball He
discovered it about M ears ago
quite by a '.(.idem It was raining, one
day, and Elmer did not have any one

MAMAGE.R. TALLWGS
IN AND ABOUT THE WIGWAM OF THE BRAVES
hit the ball up against the hoime. Some
of the drizzle got on his Angers and he
throw the first ipit ball that was ever
thrown."
At this moment a howl went up from
one rorner of th lobby. Hank Gowdy
hnd just received a basket of posies from
some Philadelphia admirer and the boys
were loudly demanding to know who the
donor was. But Hank is nothing if not
nlfirran, im,I ti,ni,! Mrtt nnFvil Vilmcitf
It cannot he denied that Hank Is the !
Adonis nnd ladles' man of the Boston
Braves. Kvnding the watchful eve of
Manager Stnlllngs. he slipped downstairs,
where the dancing was In progress, and
through the intercession of the manager
secured for a partner the prettiest and
best dancer in th room.
To see Hank dance, is to realize that he
Is an exceedingly versntile Individual. '
One Verron Castle has nothing on him.
He dips and hesitates with all the crace 1
and finesse of one reared in a dancing '
academy, instead of on a baseball dia- t
mond, and his partner is at once th
envv of every other petticoat on the
floor.
But Hank's dancing was short-lived
Little Willie Connor, the dlntnutive mas
cot, stood In the doorway and looked
through large owlish spectacles his best
Bostnne disapproval at this defection
on Gowdy's part, and so the latter took
a hasty departure back to the lobby and
caused a furrow to disappear from Stall
tnss' brow.

young Ditner seemed to be getting the
worst of It his brother, Martin Ditner,
came to his rescue. Reinforcements for

MAYOR WOULD GIVE
UNEMPLOYED QUICK
WORK ON M)MTBAGTS
Plans to Avoid Customary
Delays in Councils After
Voters Have Approved
$11,300,000 Loan.
Mayor Blankenburg ascrt3 In a state
ment that Councils can pass preliminary
legislation that wilt make possible tho
beginning of work on $4,000,000 of con
tracts under the proposed $11,300,000 loan
for Improvements one month after the
measure is passed by the voters, Novem
ber 3. He will send a message to Coun
cils next week embodying his recom
mendations. The Mayor declares that the cumber
some delays of councilmanlc procedure
may be well out of the way by the time
the loan In passed nnd an army of unem
ployed men In Philadelphia may obtain
work on municipal contracts early In De
cember. The usual slow processes of Councils, he
tays, would dclav the actual start of
construction on projects Included In the
loan bill until next summer. The Mayor
points out that the appropriation ordi
nances of the $7,000,000 pdised at the elec
tion In November, 1012, were not passed
by Councils until the following May.
It Is recommended by the Mayor that
tho loan ordinance, which must be ad
vertised four weeks, be Introduced at the
meeting of Councils next Thusday and
the advertising of tho loan be begun Im
mediately, although the final passage of
the ordinance would not be made until
after the election returns receive the
certification of the Judges sitting as a
return board. By that action Counclln
could pass the ordinance at the meeting
December 3
Appropriation ordinances distributing
the amounts from the loan could also bo
passed In Councils In anticipation of tho
favorable action on the loan by the
voters, the Mayor asserts. That pro
cedure, the Mayor contends, would enable
the heads of the municipal departments
to know definitely what It Is proposed to
do, to prepare specifications, advertise
for bids nnd be in a position to award
contracts immediately upon tho passage
of the loan ordinance on December 3 by
Select Council and Its slgnnture by tho
Mayor.
Although Mayor Blankenburg did not
refer definitely In his statement to the
pre-election resolution, of philanthropic
tune, passed enthusiastically by Councils
at, the last meeting to mako the work
ing men of the city objects of charity
during the coming winter. Instead of pro
viding them with employment ho said
in connection with tho course of action
he outlined:
"This would provide a measure of sup
port to labor In Philadelphia far beyond
any artificial relief measures that might
be adopted either by the municipal gov
ernment or by public-spirited nnd gener
ously disposed cltlrens. Those out of em
ployment at the present time want work
and not chnrlty."
The phase of grim humor In the "re
lief" resolution Introduced In Councils Is
that Its sponsor was John P. Connelly,
VcNlchol's chairman of the finance com
mittee. That same committee is keeping
455 street repair men out of work at pres
ent by withholding a $30,000 appropriation
from the Department of Tubllc Works, in
spite of appeals of the men out of em
ployment and two messages sent to Coun
cils by Mayor Blankenburg.
