und economic conditions, for nn cUnl
chance In business. I say tills is the
tlmo for altruism."

ECHOES OF THE OIIEAT DEAD.
The plnce Is a little uncanny, for nil Its

tno tittle, semicircular bar, of statesmen
dcarf and gone (and politically dying and
going) who made many n SO-mlnutes-tlll-traln-tlme
go like nothing nt all, watch

There hastily arrived on many nn oc

and who hailed from our I.nnd of the
Piggeries, and who went to Congress
wlien tne Vares wero little boys.
There assembled Senators, aye. senior
Senators and In their Junior years, too,
to test thrt Bpeed of swift, swarthy bar
tenders and crack Jokes about Local
Option when Local Option really was a
Joke before it became their nightmare.

A tall man dashes through the lunch

"How do, Mlstah Jawge? Goo'-bie,

Tho Pausing of the Second Floor Back,

There is a four-legged policeman in
Kensington or, to be correct, a police
man's assistant. Ills name la Beauty, but
he belles It, for he Is decidedly homely.
If Beauty wasn't a dog he'd be worth
his weight In salary. He don't lie under
a hot stovo on n wlntor's night and nibble
a bone. Not much. He Is out on the
firing line every night with his boss and
master. Patrolman Patrick Phillips, of the
Front nnd Westmoreland streets station.
Beauty saw a man acting suspiciously
In front of the butcher shop of Harry
Kelly, on Front street, last night. The
man had n brick ready to throw through
the window. In which there were many
good things to eat. The dog made one
leap and the stranger dropped tha brick.

The position of clpik to tho market in

UNIFORM WORKING
DAY INADVISABLE,
ASSERTS DR. ELIOT
Conditions Should Regulate
Number of Hours, He
Tells Industrial
Commis-
sion Favors Unions.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. Uniformity In the
length of tho working dtly would bo an
absolute ovll today, declared Dr. Charles
W. Eliot, piesldcnt emeritus of Harvard
Unlveislty, before tho Federal Commls
fclon on Industrial Relations. There can
be no general rule laid down In this line,
Jic said.
A proper Income for nn unskilled work
mun, ho declared, would depend entirely
on where tho worker lived.
"What would bo pioper In Germany
probably would not do hero In America,"
Doctor Eliot bald; "and In China condi
tions would bo still more different. 1 came
to tho conclusion some years ugo that In
tho llshlng village of Mount Desert, where
a man had his homo and his garden and
wood lot, ho could easily got along on
(250.
"I am certain that the diet of tho fami
lies of laboring men costs too much nnd
Is far from the proper sort bo far ns nu
trition is concerned," he said. "We all
eat too much, especially meat, nnd could
save much money If wo only would plan
a sclentlflo diet."
Regarding compensation for disability,
Doctor Eliot evaded any answer, saying
that was a matter for "accident Insur
nnco experts." He said tho German com
pensation plan was tho best In the world.
OPPOSES CHILD LABOR.
"It Is a great misfortune for a child
to have to work In a city factory to aid
tho family In earning a living. Chil
dren should never be employed Indoors
In nny machine Industry," he said. "I
would fix the age limit at 16 for child fac
tory workers.
"I believe In the general organization
of labor. In fact, I approve organization
In everything, nnd especially In the higher
professions," ho said. "I oppose law
lessness, however. Somo unions advo
cate It. They have no right to exist.
I see little change In the Industrial un
rost. Five yoars ago I thought It was
Increasing. Today I do not know.
AGAINST ARBITRATION.
Doctor Eliot said he opposed arbitration
and mediation becauso they usually result
In compromise, and In his opinion com
promise methoJs never satisfy cither
party to a dispute. He said he left the
Civic Federation because ho did not be
lieve In Ha plans for conciliation.
Generally, publicity of everything going
on will prevent strikes, he said,
He said employers wero more fair to
tholr employes than they were same years
ago, and that the sources of friction be
tween capital and labor are grudually
being eliminated.
UPHOLDS FOUNDATIONS.
Doctor Eliot said that, as a member of
the General Education Board, the Rocke
feller Foundation and of the Carnegie
Peace Foundation, he saw no objection to
interlocking directorates In endowed
foundations.
"It makes for efficiency," he said,
"Do yqu know of any Instances where
education have been unduly Influenced In
their work by their desire to obtain
money from the General Education Board
or the Carnegie Foundation?"
"Never unduly Influenced." he an
swered. "I have known of many In
stances, however, where educators were
Influenced for good by these funds.
jWO.OOO.QOO OIVEN B1NCB 1901
"Nearly 00.000,000 has, been put into
the work of education since 1903 by the
Education Board," he said.
Dr. Eliot said the board planned a sur
vey of the Maryland schools, and that
part of the expense was to be borne by
the State.
"Investigations by men under the
Rockefeller Foundation," Dr. Eliot said,
"require life study and only the best men
can do the work wa require."
The commission today read into Its
records tha story of the Colorado strike
from the standpoint of the miners as
presented to tho Congressional Commit
tee on Labor, and also heard rtprMtsta
