Midvale Steel Company
Plans Unique Philanthropy
to Give Equal Chance to
the Unfortunate.
Girl Workers to Lose Their Mo
nopoly on a Profession That
Has Been Their Stronghold If
Other Concerns Adopt the Idea.
Is stenegrnphy-thnt profession which
has long been the working girl's strong-hold-a
fitting occupation for a bis, husky
man, tf loot and over, and, let us say, a
reservoir of brnun niid good red blood?
Was lilttlncr tho keys of a typewriter
mid fnshlonlng unintelligible little fish
hooks ever meant to bo the life-work of
such a creature?
The Midvale Steel Company, out at
Nlcetown, has come t.i the conclusion
that It was not. It has decided that this
redentory profession Is better suited to a
type of workers other than the men who
are now filling these positions at the
works, and to this end tho male stenog
raphers will have to go from one depart
mnt, at least. They are going to be
supplanted, but not by tho class that one
would suppose to be their logical suc
cessors. No, not women, but cripples are going
to be taken on as stenographers In the
treasury department of the Steel Com
pany. WAGES START AT 513 A WEEK.
An order has been given to n big
typewriter concern In town to round up
all the cripples who arc proficient stenog
raphers, and at the same tlmo the type
writing people have been charged to
get other Jobs for the men whose normal
limbs and strong physiques will preclude
them hereafter from this sort of em
ployment In the Midvale Company.
It doesn't matter how badly a man Is
maimed, If he Is a good stenographer
he can qualify for a position. He will
be paid $15 a week to start, nnd If he
proves efficient ho may consider his Job
a life one. And he will not be put
to the hardship of competing with
stronger men All of the employes In
this department who do the same kind
of work that he does will be working
under tho same handicap which to tho
cripple's sensitive nature means much.
The typewriting house has already em
ployed three cripples, who are to take
up this work at the Midvale plant, and
Is on the loukout for more.
If tho plan works out satisfactorily, and
there Is no reason to suppose that It
will not, a big new field will havo been
Opened to the unfortunates whose
crutches and deformed limbs have al
ways been mor or less of a bar to their
obtaining steady employment. For no
matter how much gray matter a man
may possess, or how manually dexterous
he may b-, there art few firms that
will pay a man not physically active,
the average wage.
UNIQUE TYPE OF PHILANTHROPY
It Is generally expected that with su:h
a large and world-renowned estaollsh
ment as the Midvale Company setting the
example by inaugurating a philanthropy
probably unique In the commercial his
tory of the city, and this without anv
loss to itself, other llrms will be on the
keen lookout to se- how the enterprise
prospers, and it ina be that the time
honored stcno;rapher of the flctloncers,
she of the blonde head and the chewing
gum, will lose 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 tin laboring under the impression
that tho Job ot managing a baseb.ill team
even though It be one of the contestants
for tho world's championship is a
feather-lined, Mift-paddcd one, you ought
to hnvo been up at the Hotel Majestic
last night, tho Philadelphia home.of the
Boston Braves, and have seen George
Stalling give n demonstration of the
theoiy of perpetual motion when the time
rolled around for His Jubilant boys to turn
in and get under lh- "klverc."
Tho reason for this gentleman's gyra
tions were not hard to find. The clock
was neaiing eleven, the bed-time hour
of all good Braves, and all of them had
not reported In the lobby. Like a dis
tracted hen whose chleks refuse to come
to rocfit, Mr. Stalllngs ran hither and
yon In an endeavor to round them up.
"Has Dick been put to bed yet? he
nsked anxiously of Jimmy Neary. the

From the nnxtetv of his tones, tho In

wfro his next anxious W'ittons.
Downstairs an energetic orchestra
nlajcd seductive tunes in acompanlment
and all Philadelphia seemed to bo danc
inn the baseball tungo In honor of the
heioes of the hour. Theso same heroes
had hoped to be among the worshipers
of Terphslchore, to substitute whirling
for twirling, especially fcince4 the mem
bers of the Chin-Chln Company had been
told to come after the show and meet
the first da'o victors, but Papa Stalllngs
detreed that the boys could not stay up
for the company, and that was the end
The big manacer. however, did not have
long to wait. Before lie had had time
to quite- run down, tho Braves returned
to the hotel, en masse and reported that
their fighting blood having been aroused,
they hnd stopped In at a prize fight to
see r.ddie Murphy, of Boston. ' lick the

"Boston's lucky day," some one was
heard to remark
Who's that tall, handsome boy with

a feminine admirer asked soulfully
That tall, handsome boy with the soft
brown eses and curling lashes was none
other than Bill James, the California
w-v ear-older, who. If j on ask htm, will
tell you that he is tingle and seldom

James was immediately eurruuiiucu u;

"If you are in practice, you can throw

prehenslble fingers and gave a demon
stration. "All that you have to do is to put rosin
on jour first two fingers, spit across the
top of them and throw your ball."
An idiot wanted to know if the mois

At this moment a howl went up from
one corner ot tho lobby. Hank Gowdy
had just received a basket of posies from
somo Philadelphia admirer and the boys
were loudly demanding to Know who the
donor was. But Hank Is nothing if not
discreet and would not commit himself.
It cannot be tUnted that Hank is the
Adonis and ladles' man of tho Boston
Braves. Hviullug the watchful eye of
Mnnager Stalllngs, he tUnpcd dowustalis.
vvhfii the dancing was in progress, and
tlunugh the Intercession of the manager
secured for a partner the prettiest and
best dancer In the room.
To see Hank danco is to realize that ho
Is an exceedingly versatile Individual.
One Verron Castle has nothing on him.
He dips and hesitates with all the grace
nnd finesse of one reared In a dancing
academy, Instead of on a baseball dia
mond, and his partner Is at. once the
envy of every other petticoat on tho
floor.
But Hank's dancing was short-lived.
Little Willie Connor, the diminutive mns
cot, stood In tho doorway nnd looked
through laige owlish spectacles his best
Bostoneso disapproval at thlfc defection
on Gowdy's part, nnd so the latter took
a hasty depart urn bark to the lobby nnd
caused a furrow to disappear from Stall
lngs' brow.

MAYOR WOULD GIVE -UNEMPLOYED
QUICK
WORK ON CONTRACTS
Plans to Avoid Customary
Delays in Councils After
Voters Have Approved
$11,300,000 Loan.
Mayor Blankcnburg asserts In n state
ment that Councils can pass preliminary
legislation that will make possible the
beginning of work on ?i,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 embodvlng his lecom
mendations. The Mayor declares that the cumber
some delays ot councllmnnlc procedure
may bo well out of the way by the time
tho loan Is passed and an army of unem
plojed men In Philadelphia may obtain
work on municipal contracts early In pe
cember. The usual slow processes of Councils, he
sajs, would delav the actual start of
construction on projects Included In the
loan bill until next summer. Tho Mayor
points out that the appropriation ordi
nances of the J7.000.000 passed at the elec
tion In November, 1012, were not passed
by Councils until the following May.
It Is recommended by the Mayor that
the loan ordinance, which must be ad
vertised four weeks, be Introduced at the
meeting of Councils next Thusday and
the advertising of the loan be begun Im
mediately, although the final passage of
the ordinance would not be made until
after tho election returns receive the
lertlllcatlon of the Judges sitting as a
return board. By that action Councils
could pass the ordinance at the meeting
December 3
Appropriation ordinances distributing
the amounts from the loan could also be
passed In Councils tu anticipation of the
faAoiablo action on the loan by the
voters, the Major asserts. That pro
cedure, the Mayor contends, would enable
the heads of the municipal departments
tu know definitely what It Is proposed to
do, to prepare specifications, advertise
for bids and be In a position to award
contracts Immediately upon the passage
of the loan ordinance on December 3 by
Select Council and its signature by tho
Mayor. ,
Although Maor Blankeuburg did not
rofir definitely In his htatement to the
pre-election resoUtion, of philanthropic
tone, passed enthusiastically by Councils
at thf last meeting to make the work
ing iru of the city objects of charity
durit g the coming winter, instead of pro
viding them with employment he said
In connection with the course of action
he jutllned:
"This would provide a measure of sup
port to labor In Philadelphia far bejond
any artificial relief measures that might
be adopted either by the municipal gov
ernment or by public-splrlteu and gener
ously disposed citizens. Mhoce out of em
ployment at tho present time want work
and not charity "
The phase of grim humor In the "re
lief" resolution Introduced In Councils Is
that Its sponsor was John P. Connelly,
McNlcbol'u chairman of the finance com
mittee. That same committee Is keeping
450 street repair men out of work at pres
ent by withholding a ?50.000 appropriation
Ifrum the Department oPubllc Works. In
spite ot appeals of the men out of em
ployment and two messages sent to Coun
cl s by Mayor Blankenburg.

Virginia, , author of tho Philippine bill,
added flame to the fire by echoing Itep
resentntlvo Heflln's word. This Irritated
Mr. Mann, for he Jumped to his feet and
yelled nt Heflin:
"It was better for tho young women
who were In tho suffrngo parndo In Wash
ington in Murch, 1913, to havo been at

tho gentleman fiom Alabama would havo

"Tho gentlemnn from Illinois Is un

Hcpresentnllve Heflin, while Oscar Un

Immediately demands were mado to

nnd said the speech which Itepresenta

by him.
"I denounce tho gentleman from Illinois

Bather than letort in kind, representa

evident desire to disavow his speech
was the best evidence of refoim he had

Tho words In Mann's speech which
caused tho low were expunged after a
