The Old Harmonica.
Don't talk about your orchestras,
Your operas and your chants,
Your fiddles and your trombones and
Your elrtims to make folks dance!
No instrument that climbs the scale
Of "do, re, mi and fa"
Can hold a patch for making tunes
To Joe's harmonica.
He put it 'twixt his teeth, like this,
He puffed his cheeks out, sol
Where could you find a sweeter tone
un earth I'll like to know.
He "tongued" it, thus, to keep the beat,
And oh, it seemed to sound
When that small cuss go under way
Like angels lljing round.
My little Joe was smart, all right,
What would I give today
To hand him his harmonica
And listen ti him play?

Insects' Sense o' Smell.
How do insects smell? Naturalists are
agreetl that they are keenly sensitne to
certain odors, hut they dilfer widely as
to the organs with which they do it. The
usual opinion has been that their an
tennae sene them as do our noses. Hut
Dr. N. E. Mcludoo of the Washington
bureau of entomology points out that
those which have no antennae smell
equally as well as those which have. He
suggests that certain pores at the bases
of the wings and legs are their organs
of smell, for when these are covered
with glue or vaseline they react to per
fumes only in a very slow manner.

Standard Oil Pays Less Than
Living Wage; U. S. Investigators
Report On Bayonne Strike
Chicago. "The Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, although conduct
ing an enormously profitable enterprise,
pays wages too low to maintain a fam
ily on a comfortable, healthy basis."
The above is one of the numerous
indictments of Standard Oil methods
found in the report on the recent strike
at Bayonne, N. J., by investigators of the
commission on federal relations.
The report says :
"The company is the most important
of the Standard Oil group, and this
group is the principal contributor to
the wealth, prestige and power of the
largest estate in the country, if not in
the world, that of John D. Rockefeller,
Sr., and his immediate family.
"Facts regarding the company's labor
policies must, therefore, be regarded as
of special significance, because of the
tremendous power wielded by the group
of men who control this industry, and
because of their announced intention to
enter the field of industrial relations
with a view to widening their influence
and activity and propagating what they
deem to be the proper theories and pnn
ciples that should govern the relation
between cmnlovcr and emnlovc.'
The investigators say Standard Oil
uses this method in setting wage rates :
"It fixes wages not with relation to
the earnings of the company, but by
taking into consideration wages paid by
other companies in the same locality, and
then fixing the wages as low as or low
er than the prevailing wages in that
locality.
"In Ita) otitic it paid common laborers
less than those of two companies whose
plants adjoin its refineries. This is in
direct contradiction to the claims of the
company in a statement issued at 20
Broadway that it alwajs has paid the
prevailing wage or better. The state
ment of the general manager of the com
pany that tlic interests of other com
panies in the same locality are consider
ed in the fixing of wages constitutes, in
effect, an admission that the company
combines with the poorest and least gen
erous employers to fix the wage rate.
J he men are made to unucrstanu,
the report continued, "that they must
seek no outside assistance in their deal
ings with the management, and that any
show of independence or any hint of
compulsion will be vigorously resented.
"The company has instituted no ma
chinery by which real or fancied griev
ances may be peacefully and promptly
adjusted. The officials say that any man
has access to the general superintendent,
but the emploj es allege that they would
lie discharged before reaching the of
fice. "General Manager Giffordis not a be
liever in child labor legislation, and, on

"The Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, although conducting 4-
an enormously profitable enter-
prise, pays wages too low to main-
tain a family on a comfortable,

"It fixes wages, not with rela-
tion to the earnings of the coin-
pany, but by taking into consid- T
erat'ion wages paid by other com-
panics in the same locality, and

the other hand, thinks the children
should be allowed to go to work ear
lier. He and Mr. llennessy apparently
have little respect for the foreign-horn
men whose labor produces the com
pany s earnings and are proponents of
liic ixuejiuuiy meiivieiiiaiiMii: auu ie:ue--
tionary industrial theories discarded by
enlightened emploj ers and by economists
many jears ago.
"Two days after the men returned to
work the Standard Oil company an
nounced increases in wages. These in
creases were less than those demanded by
the strikers and the rates now being
paid are still below those paid by one
of the other companies adjoining the
Standard Oil company's plant, if the
common labor rate can be taken as a
basis of comparison.
"The outcome of the strike constitutes
a complete victory for the Standard Oil
company as to its vital policies; that is,
its refusal to recognize or permit col
lective action or to make any concession
to the men except of its own free will
and accord."
The report gives a long history of
the strike in July and of the disorders
which accompanied it. It accuses the
Standard Oil company of urging the
Bayonne police to keep strikers off the
streets and asserts that the attempt to
do so caused the first riot on July 20.
