HOW LITTLE IT COSTS thought, To make happy some heart each day. Just one kind word, or a tender smile, | As we go on our daily way. Perchance a look will suffice to clear The cloud from a neighbor's face, And the press of a hand in sympathy A sorrowful tear efface. One walks in sunlight, another goes All! wearily in the shade. One treads a path that is fair and smooth, Another must pray for aid. O’er ways that are rough with stumb- ling stones, Where trembling feet go slow, One sees with eyes that are glad and bright Another with tears o’erfidw. It costs so little I wonder why We give so little thought? A smile, kind words, a glance, a touch, What magic with them is wrought?

Over, 200,000 men arployed by the gubsidiary companies of the United States Steel Corporation will receive an advance in wages, averaging 6 per cent, to become effective May 1, ac- cording to an announcement made in New York by Elbert H. Gary, chair- man of the United States Steel Corpor- ation. There are approximately 100,- 000 of the 225,000 employes of the sub- sidiary companies, working in the plants located in the Pittsburg, Wheel- ing Youngstown district, and it is ex- pected that the increase will amount to $4,000,000 a year in this territory. The statement of Judge Gary regard- ing the increase follows: “The subsidiary companies of the United States Steel Corporation have decided to make substantial increases in wages. Notwithstanding that the subject matter has been under careful consideration for the last 60 days, the exact amounts have not yet been fully determined, except as to the ore com- panies and the coal companies, which already have announced advances. Takes Effect on May 1. “As to the other companies, the fig- ures will be definitely arrived at in time to become operative on May 1, ex: cept the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road Company, and the transportation companies, which may not be able to arrange the Increases until a later -| date.” According to its last ne report, the steel corporation had on its pay- roll about 225,000 employes, a large ma- jority of whom will be affected by the increase in wages. It is estimated that the advance will mean an addi- tional outlay of about $9,000,000 a year by the subsidiary companies of .the United States Steel Corporation. The companies affected by this in- crease are the Carnegie Steel Compa- ny, National Tube Company, American Steel and Wire Company, American Bridge Company, American Sheet and Tin Plate Company, Lorain Steel Com- pany, Union Steel Company, Univer- sal Portland Cement Company, Illinois Stee! Company, Shelby Steel Tube Company, and the Clairton Steel Com- pany. In addition to these, the cor- poration controls several other com- panies. ; Comes Sooned Than Expected. The increase in wages comes as a \ surprise to steel men in general, on account of the somewhat unsettled condttions in the trade. While there have been intimations that an ad- vance might be expected, it was not thought that any definite action would be taken on the matter before June 1 at the earliest. A little over $150,000,000 is annual- ly distributed in salaries by the United States Steel Corporation’s sub- gidiary companies, which wou!d make ‘the estimated increase of $9,000,000 in wages an advance of about 6 per cent. However, all the employes will not re- ceive the same increase, if being said that the laborers will likely secure the greatest proportion of the amount. receive up- wards of nearly 10 or 12 per cent ad- vance, while thousands of others will not get 6 per cent. Men conversant with the steel business have drawn de- ductions from advance granted the em- ployes of steel plants at Sparrow’s Point Pa. the Pennsylvania Steel Company, at Steelton, Pa., and others in the East. From these deductions, it would seem that the proposed advance will give -skilled workmen from 6 to 10 per cent more money per year while laborers making from $1.30 to $2.00 a day will receive about 1 cent an hour more. in Would Oust Democrat.

It is now under roof and will be ready for occupancy with- in a week or two. A carload of brick was unloaded here this week, which is a good sign that bui'ding has not ceased in this locality and will make it possible for persons to secure the material for a new chimney, where one is needed, and thus avoid a disastrous fire. The saw mill owned and operated by 13. T. Lucas about a ‘mile south of town, is now in full blast. The ‘saw- yer is Mr. G. V. Hal of Winburne.
