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?

ADVANGE IN WAGES
FOR STEEL WORKERS
Corporation Officia’s Announce High-
er W:ges For Its 225,000 Employes |
NEW RATE EFFECTIVE MAY 1
Increase Will Average Six Per Cent
and Benefit One-Half of the
Employes.
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.
