fIX FORTUNES TO RELIEVETHE POOR juggenheim Suggests Plan at Federal In quiry Into Causes of Industrial Unrest SIANY WANT WORK (±NT> NOT CHARITY Witness Advocates Government Agen cies to Find Work For Unemployed and Provision For the Comfort of Aged Workers By .(Mocujlfrf Prest. Now Vork, Jan. 51. —Taxation of arge fortunes upon the death of their iwners to aid the poor, the estabhsh iient of government agencies to find nork for the unemployed, and provi lion for the comfort of aged workers, were advocated by Daniel Guggenheim, jresident of the American Smelting and Refining Company, in testimony to-day it the inquiry by the Federal Commis sion on industrial Rehtions into the ;reat philanthropic and the causes of ndnstria! unrest. Mr. Guggenheim said that, as a cap talist. he favored these measures, de spite the fact that they constitute some >f the cardinals ideas of Socialism. He ilso advocated "industrial democracy" wherein the worker received a portion >f the profits derived from the products' >f his laibor. Industrial unrest was caused to a rreat extent, the wituess believed, by the increased cost of living. In his •pinion the philanthropic organizations lid not affect much relief from poverty is the average worker was reluctant to iccept charity aud preferred employ nent. E. J. Berwind, owner of—coi! mines ind director in many coal mining cor porations and coal carrying railroads, estified that he believed directors and stockholders were not as well'acquaint (d with labor conditions as they should Advised as to Labor Conditions Mr. Guggenheim was the first witness «efore the Industrial Relations Com nission to-day. He named many cor iorations in which he and his brothers ire directors. The witness did not how how many men were employed by in.v of the companies he is connected vith. Mr Guggenheim said he kept limself advised as tQ labor conditions imong his employes aud that he per onally paid frequent- visits to the vari uis plants. Tihe executive committees if the various companies, he said, were onstantly visiting plants and mines. Mr. Guggenheim said in the mining bus ness their directors and not the stock tolders were absolutely responsible for abor and other conditions. Improving Conditions of Workers As for devices for improving the con litions of workers, tne wituess said the \merican Smelting and Refining Com pany had installed many things not inly to improve labor conditions, but o raise the standard of efficiency. The •ompanv found that by so doing the mtput was increased and business gen •rally was improved. The witness said emphatically that le did not believe laborers in smelting md refining works should be permitted 0 work more than 8 hours a day. The ncreasing high cost of living, the wit less believed, was the cause of much inrest among workers. Wage earners, le thought, had as much right to organ ze as capitalists; the American Smelt ug and Refilling Company had no ob jei tion to organizers going among the ] •mployes, provided they did not inter- I ere with the operation of the plants. Increasing Industrial Discontent Mr. Guggenheim said he believed in- I lustrial discoutent was on the increase lud had been for some years. "And it will continue to increase un- 1 il some remedial measures are taken." j le said. "The trouble is we haveu'ti tail enough legislation. We are away ! >ehind Europe. We need more business j egislation." Mr. Guggenheim said he "didn't want to advertise"' the philantropie ; Di-jjanizations with which he was con leoted. "I don't want to tell what l'vei lone," he said. "I've done all that 1 an. I don't think any of us give 'nough.' I 'll tell yo,u though that I am' nterested in many hospitals, homes i ind societies." People Want Work, Not Charity He said he did not believe the great philanthropic organizations were doing he work they were supposed to do •It's a job for the State, not for pri-1 . ate benefaction," he testified. " Many I leople don't want charity. They want' \ork. The State should find it for them, j l'he State should tax great fortunes viien rich men die and thereby receive ; noney to take care of the people until j hey can get along." Workers should be taught to save, ! le said. They could not save now be- ' iause they didn't get enough monev to •ermit them; but they could he, said, if they received, as they should. ' 1 part of the profits of the industries n which they were employed. The American Smelting and Refining Company operates open shops. Mr. puggeuheim testified because it would j jot allow unions to run the business. The management, however, would treat ] rvth unions or with the men collective ,v, the same as with individual work- ! 'crsonal Liberty Demands Open Shop Another reason why the American Smelting and Refining Company oper ites open shops, Mr. Guggenheim con inued, is because it does not 'believe it las a right to control a worker's ae :ions any more than it had to say -what le shall eat and when he shall go to >ed. Personal liberty demanded open ihops, he thought. Mr. Berwind, who followed Mr. Gug fenheim on the stand, said, that the Kilicy of his companies was to operate iceordiny to law and to give the men [very consideration possible. Their *orkiug hours in the mines were gener ally 9 hours a day and the daily wages iTom $2 to $5. The companies had nnde provision for compensation for incidents. None of them employed chil lien. RUSSIANS VICTORIOUS OVER.THE TURKS Caatiaard From First Pas*. entrance into the fight continue to cir culate; one rutnot to-day has it, how ever, that Rumania will not immedi ately declare war, but that she will throw troops into Transylvania, which is Hungarian territory, for the purpose of protecting Rumanian nationals. Meanwhile German official utterances continue optimistic The communica tions given out every day say that the situation in the eastern theatre of the war remains unchanged. Certain semi -official summa-ie* of events received in London by wireless telegraphy from Berlin are somewhat more communica I five. Such a message received recently says the Russia's have had some suc cesses, in which their losses were heavy, and that the Turks have been operating successfully in the Caucasus and are now marching on Egypt. To Flan Campaign Against Russia Telegrams reaching here from Rerlin record the arrival there of Archduke Charles Francis, the Austrian Crown Prince, and Dr. Von Bethmann-Holl veg, the German Imperial Chancellor, who are to be joined shortly by Raroii Burina, the new Austro-Hnngsrian Minister of Foreign Affnirs, presumably for a conference legarding a plan of campaign against Russia, ns well as the adoption of suitable measures against the prospective entrance into the war of Italy and Rumania. Recent dispatches from Sweden indi cate that a German airship attack on the new Finnish railroad between Swe den and Russia is coming to be expect ed. This is the line that runs around the northern end of the Gulf of Both nia. Tts destruction would be a serious blow to Russia as the only other routes of communication between Russia and her allies are by way of the Baltic sea or through Archangel on the north. The former route has been made impos sible by mines and the latter is likely to be cut off any day by ice. ISOLATION OF BRITISH ISLES CONQUERED IN AIR RAID, SAYS BERLIN PAPER Berlin, Via Amsterdam and bondon, Jan. 21, 10.02 A. M. — isolation of the British Islands is conquered suc cessfully." says the "Morning Post'' in its comment on the air raid made by the Germans on the Knglish coilst. "Of what use to Great Britain," it adds, "are the surrounding seas and war ves sels if our airships cross the water, dropping bombs?" The "Tages Zeitung" expresses sat isfaction at the first air attack and hopes it will be followed by others, while the "Tageblatt" says that *it is now clear "that the North Sea is no hindrance to German airships.'' London, Jan. 21. 2.57 A. M. —The '• Morning Post " dis missing the air raid on the easl coast of Kngland, questions the wisdom of the recent announcement bv the government of its intention to indemnify residents for loss of proper ty. pointing out that the Germans may take advantage by sporadic attacks to drain the government resources. "Such a pledge, if it amounts to a pledge," says the "Post," "encourages the enemy to proceed with its destruc tion in the hope of crippling our gov ernment financially. The damage done to a country by an enemy is not proper ly a liability of the government of that country. If the French government had pledged itself to make good the loss sustained by the people in the present war it might already be bankrupt. To compensate for all damage done is to accept liability which may be dangerous to the State.'' The "Mail" suggests that the raid was only a reconnaissance, a rehearsal preparatory to a more serious raid dur ing the next moonless period, which will be in February. Other papers consider that the raid was made merely to please the German people. GERMANS WENCHES: LOSE CROUNO ELSEWHERE Berlin, Jan. 21 (By Wireless to Lon don, 3.05 P. M.). —Although spirited fighting is in progress along the west ern battle front, the official statement from the German War Office to-day shows that these engagements are of merely a local character. The French made repeated attacks near Arras and south of St. Mihiel, but were repulsed. The Germans captured trenches near Ber/y-au-Bac and Pont-a-Mousson, but lost ground in the neighborhood of Notre Dame De Lorette. A defeat of the Russians in small engagements in East Prussia also is announced. The statement follows: "In the western theatre of war only artillery duels took place yesterday be tween Che coast and the Lys. Trenches at Notre Dame De Lorette which we occupied on the day before yesterday were lost again to-day. "Northeast of Arras the French re peatedly attacked both sides of the high road from Arras to Lille, but were repulsed. Southwest of Berry-au-Bac we took two trenches from the French and kept them, notwithstanding their fierce counter attack*. " French attacks on our positions south of St Mihiel were repulsed. Northwest of Pont-a-Mousson we suc ceeded in recapturing the positions we evacuated three days ago. In that vi cinity our troops captured four cannon and several prisoners. Fighting still continues for the remainder of the lost trenches. "In the Vosges. northwest of Senn heim. battles still proceed. The situa tion in East Prussia remains the same. An unimportant engagement to the east of Lipno ended favorably for us. One hundred prisoners remained in our hands.'' MANY ENCPUMS FOR THE AMERICAN REDCROSS WORK Washington, Jan. 21. —The work of the American Red Cross in sending abroad contributions for the velief of those affected by the war, continue to be praised in letters received here. In a communication made public at Red Cross headquarters to-day, Marquis De Vogue, president of the French Red Cross, and Monsieur Gustav /..dor, chairman of the International Rod Cross at Geneva, acknowledged the receipt / HARRISBURfI STAR-INDEPENDENT. THURSDAY EVENINO. JANUARY 21. 1915. of donations and express their gratitude for the gifts. Marquis De Vogue writes that "the splendid generosity of the American nation assists greatly in mitigating the suffering. I am the interpreter to you of the profound gratitude of the Red Cross and the army of France." Chairman Ador says: "The aid given by it to the belligerents is a new proof of the admirable devotion with which the American Red Cross fulfills its in ternational duties." LATE WAR SUMMARY Caatlnnnl From Ftrat Pace. de Lorette, however, they were driven from the trenches. A German victory in a small battle Ux East Prussia is reported. Russian accounts of the war with Turkey made it appear that the resist ance of the Ottoman troops has virtual ly collapsed. An official statement to day from the Russian staff of the Cau casian army says that further defeats have been inflicted on the Turkish troops in a series of rear guard actions, and that the Turks, after suffering heavy losses, are retreating precipitate ly. The statement announces the capture of a trans-Caucasian town near the Turkish border. It is said also that a Russian warship sank 12 vessels off the coast of Asia Minor. Fighting between Austrian and Mon tenegrins which has been almost at a standstill on account of the winter weather and heavy snows, has been re sumed across the border from Cattarro. The Austrians bombarded Montenegrin positions but it is said at Cettiuje no damage was Inflicted. The allies now their eyes on the Rhine and British troops may be sent to Belfort. in Eastern France, to take part in any possible advance to the river, says a Geneva report, which lacks veri fication. It is stated that the advance French trenches are within sixteen miles of Rhine. TUWINK UISABLKI) BELGIAN RELIEF STEAMER INTO PORT Halifax, N. S, Jan. 21.—The Amer- ican steamer Caminn, which became dis abled by the loss of her rudder several days ago while on her voyage from San Francisco for Belgium with relief sup plies. probably will arrive here to-mor row in tow of the steamer Lady Laur ier. A wireless message from the Lady Laurier received by the Marine Depart ment late last night said that the Camina was down bv the head and that progress was necessarily slow.

SEEK HILL POST FOR (OVERT Contractor's Friends to Endorse Him for* Superintendent of Buildings lii event of Samuel B. Rambo re tiring from the position of Superintend ent of Buildings and Grounds, the friends of Charles E. Covert, head of the Central Construction and Supply Company, of this city, will present his name to Governor Brumbaugh for the place. The subject has been quietly talked over by Mr. Covert's friends who are interested in the appointment, and it is understood that if the place is to go to Dauphin county his name will .be presented. There already are two applicants for the position of Superintendent of Pub lic Buildings anil Grounds—former Senator Oscar E. Thompson, of Chester county, a contractor, who served in the Senate from i 905 to 1912. and former Senator John H. Landi*. of Lancaster, who served in the Senate from 189 a to 1596. and was afterward superin tendent of the L'nited States mint in Philadelphia. ( Superintendent Rambo was appoint ed to the place by Governor Stuart and has served eight years. He superin tended the construction ef the Capitol and it was his thorough familiarity with the big building that he was deemed the most available man to care for it. Although coming originally from Philadelphia. Mr. Ramba is credit ed to Dauphin county in the list of ap pointments. It is argued that if there is to be a change. Dauphin county, having the office credited to it, has the first chance, and in that event Mr. Covert's name will be presented.

A doorman at the Fourth and State door of the Capitol let out a cry of "there it goes," and lied across Fourth street after a small bird, which had gotten by him into the street. After some trouble the door man succeeded in shooing the small bird back into the basement corridor and into a wired over box. It was a quail all right—in fact there were two hundred quail—Mexi can quail, direct from the State ot Tainanlipas, bv way of Brownsville, Texas. They were orought to Harris burg by direction of the State Game Commission and the 200 will be scat tered throughout the State in groups of ten. Almost all of thean were sent out to-day. These birds are exacbly like the northern variety, except that they are a trifle smaller, and they are exceed ingly lively. They were badly treated on the way from Brownsville, and had grown quite thin from being improp erly fed on the way. Colonel Edward M. Householder obtained ten lively ones for a York county farm, and will send them over as soon as the weather is settled.
