Strike Of Niles Holders Continues. The strike of the raolders of the Niles plant still continues and the men are all out and expect to re main out until that foundry is com pletely organized. All of the men except twenty when the strike oc cured were members of the Mol ders' Union and since the strike about twelve of this number have become members. Seven still re main out but it is expected that they will in a short time become members alse. Meeting were held by the molders who were not mem bers for creating sentiment against the Molders' Union, but they all fell flat and the results are that these men are getting in line. One molder absolutely refuses to join the union on account of his relig ious belief and the officers will no doubt consider his case. Little Bits. Woo.

W .shington, Ju:r- I Breaking s'reet car strikes,—or rather, at tempting to do so, pays better than stuck in the United States steel cor poration, according to evidence be fore a United States senate com initlee that investigating the Washington Rai .i Kleu company strike. The company contracted with a local detective bureau to pay strike iv?n?.V lT? breakers from $5 to $35 a day, de fray all expenses to and from Washington, pay for all automobile hire, allow $1.50 per day p?r man for subsistence and take care of incidt ntal expenses." These fig ures do not include the income of strikebreakers who found difficulty in locating cash registers on the street cars. The company testified that it lost $103,413 the first month of the strike. At one period of the strike the company had in its em ploy 1,200 men. At no other time in its history has the number ex ceeded 600. During the first days of the strike the company employed men discharged by it during the past five years for drunkenness, dishonesty, recklessness and incom petency. PENNSYLVANIA LINES Wm. Blackman, conciliator of the federal department of labor, testi fisd that he asked President King of the company for an opportunity to explain the situation to the board of directors, but King replied: "Things are going along nicely. If you talk with the board it might upsec my plans. Let it alone." The company refused all attempts to settle the strike and United States Senator Hi gbes, a member of the labor group, introduced a resolu tion in the senate creating the in vestigating committee. The high est wages paid before the strike was $2.70 a day. The men at tempted to raise wages and the com pany insisted on iadividual con tracts. Traveling Same Road.

St. Louis Mo June 1.—Labor's repeated ceuiplaints against the public press is recalled by Wm. M. Reedy, editor of Reedy's Mirror, who nctes the silence of the average newspaper in the Mooney case. "It is with a distinct shock," says editor Reedy, "that one gets from the labor and weekly press, and not from the great daillies, some of the real news of the labor war that has been go.'ng on in San Francisco for several years, and which has culminated in the sen tencing of Thomas J. Mooney to death and another man to lift- itn prison ment. "While the statements of both sides to the controversy should be accepted with reservation, in knowledge of the exceedingly bitter war that is being waged in that city between organized ccpital and or ganized labor, it does seem remark able that such a trial with such sleeping charges should have oc cured without the country knowing scarcely anything about it. Now one of the main witnesses for the s'ate has confessed that he was bribed, or at any rate an attempt was made to bribe him. The labor leaders make many other charges of 'plants' of evidence and suborna tion and sequestration of witnesses, to which no satisfactory reply has been made. At any rate, the charges of a 'frame up' are positive and sweeping enough that one feels that justice will miscarry if these men are not given new trials. The great body of damning charges made by the labor people should then be thoroughly sifted. "In the meantime, what of that 'paladium of our liberties,' the daily press?

To Submit To Wrong Is Not Patriotism. Cincinnati, June J.—"The fact that the trade union movement has emphatically announced its loyalty to the nation, and assured the gov ernment of its willingness to co-op erate in every possible manner and to assist loyally and onergetically in the nation's defense, must in no wav be construed as a willingnes on its part to be exploited, "writes Editor Frey of the International Molders' Journal. "The trade union movement is well aware that there are numerous employers in this country, who, in the present situation, h8ve in mind the reaping of enormous profits, coupled with the opportunity to hamstring labor organizations. "Labor in this country has be fore it the experience of the British workers, male and female, who, un der the urge for pntriotic service, were dealt with inhumanly by many euployers.

"One sentence from their report will indicate the conditions which they found.

Their Value In Naval Warfare In Locating Submarines. NOT GOOD AT SINKING THEM. Whil* They Are Clever at "Spotting'1 the Submerged Boats, It Is Only by Great Skill and Good Luck That a Bomb Can Be Dropped to Ite Mark. In some ways an aeroplane is more effective in locating a submarine thau a destroyer or a patrol boat, and ii may even be able in exceptional cir cumstances to destroy the undersea vessel, says C. G. Grey, editor of the London Aeroplane. There Is a popular illusion, which is not exactly a delusion, the ob server in an aeroplane can .- e as far down into the water us a submarine is likely to dive. Up to a point this is true, for If tho water is clear it is pos sible to see some twenty or thirty feet into it from a point vertically aboT\ and if such water Is only forty or fifty feet deep a sul "narlne Is not likely to dive beyond the visibility point. It is quite another matter, however, where the water is a kind of leaden gray in color and where ten feet of water over the periscope is enough to hide a submarine as effectually as if she were twenty '.thorns down Therefore It is fa'ri eMious that the scouting air craft to depend on surfaco vision quite as much as the patrol boats. Where the difference does come in is in the angle of vision from which that surface view is ob tained. For instanc-, a patrol! i it might well miss so i perl half a mile away, especially if the periscope were between the boat and the sun, so that the reflection of sun off the water was dazzling lookout men. The aircraft obs: on the other band, perched up aloft, would havo a far better chance. The peri scope, cutting through the water, makes a very distinct wake which spreads out on each side so that It makes a light but quite di- n "broad arrow" of foam. When the p^rl^ope is uLuve water the top of tL ining tower is n far below, so this also is visit unless there Is a heavy breaking sea.
