Car roll was the high scorer 'of the evening and, together with ('happen and McUmy, formed a combination of clever floor walkers. Before the game was under way five minutes, it was evident that Goddard had the superior aggregation. The boys from the hill tried out all of their avail , able substitutes, and even with the subs in Rutland could do but little. Frank Burke did all the scoring and put up the best game for Rutland. He scored u goal from the floor at the opening and one at the close of the game, throwing in two fouls in the meantime. , The first half ended twenty-two to two in favor' of the locals. During this period, Carroll put up a whirlwind game, eaging the ball six times. Goddard pre sented a change of line-up at the open ing of the second period, Chappelle anil Carroll exchanging places. It was dur ing this period that the seminary used her substitutes. The score might have run higher had Goddard. been favored with more luck. The line-up: Goddard. ,, Rutland High.

Mr. Wood Thinks That Was Responsible for Trouble. Boston, Jan. 13. William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen com pany, in speaking yesterday of the trou ble in the company's mills at Lawrence, said: "Our employes have been led to be lieve that the reduction from 5(5 to 54 hours was an net of the manufacturers, whereas the real fact is that the 54-hour law was demanded by certain mistaken labor interests. Therefore, the labor leaders are responsible. The manufac turers (I say this believing that I ex press the sentiments of all) are the friends of the employes and greatly re gret that the reduction which the new law has forced, compels their taking home just that much less money. There has been no reduction in the wages, but it cannot be expected that people who work 54 hours shall take home the wages equivalent to 50 hours. "To pay for 54 hours of work the wages of 50 hours, would be equivalent to an increase of wages and the Mas sachusetts mills are paying all that they can afford to pay in the present situa tion. "I believe' that as soon as our em ployes understand the real issue and where the responsibility actually rests, they will see that their action at Law rence was hasty and ill-advised."

Idea Favored by Mr. Carnegie RATHER THAN PRES. TAFT'S Advocates Control by the Government of the Trusts The Sherman Law Is Not Sufficiently Drastic. Washington, Jan. 13. Andrew Carne gie concluded bis testimony yesterday before the House "teel trust" investi gating committee. He admitted that in BKH) -lie-con tributed $10,000, to oppose the policy of imperialism and annexation of the Philippines, assailed wall street anu branded stock jobliers as "parasites." He urged the Roosevelt trust policy ill preference to Taft's for dealing with trusts, ami asked Congress to carefully consider that problem. Carnegie was subjected to a fire of questions which put hiro on his mettle. Chairman Stanley elicited from him the rttack on the stock jobbing which will probably influence legislation to be pro posed by the committee. Representative McGillicuddy of Maine somewhat confused Carnegie with his fire of questions seeking to show a plan was formulated to organize the United States Steel corporation before McKiri ley was elected president in l!)0O, and that the deal was consummated soon after his election. He brought out the fact that Carnegie had told McKinley to have nothing to do with imperialism or annexation of the Philippines. "I am familiar with the views of ex President Roosevelt on the trust ques tion and I am inclined to agree with him," said Mr. Carnegie. Representa tive (iardner of Massachusetts? had con trasted those views with idens expressed by President Taft in his recent mesage ' oh the trust question. ! "In the solution of the industrial prob- j Icm," said Representative Gardner, "there are two leading thoughts before us. J President Taft, in his recent message, expressed the view that dissolution of large unit should go on. the other line of thought a expressed by former Presi dent Roosevelt is that under, the ex Ming Sherman law we should look to recognition of large unit controlled by the government. In which clas are you, Mr Carnegie?" "I have agreed with Mr. Roosevelt'B views. I think fur the present you should allow lar organizations to con tinue and see bow we - get along, and that you should pas laws regulating U'ese organizations. Then you should be patient and( sec what further legisla tion may be necessary. I do' not think the Sherman luw is drastic enough. (!ivo us a clear, unmistakable law and I be lieve we will steer clearly." "Do you believe dissolution of the United States Steel corporation would lesen the price of steel!'' "I do not believe it would. It de pends, of course, upon what the courts might do." "Suppose Congress doeg not take the otep that you advise?" "My opinion is that Congress will see the necessity for more government con trol." The committee yesterday served a Mibprrna on J. II. Reed of Pittsburg. Mr. Carnegie's counsel, and president of the Steel Corporation Union anil Pittsburg Bessem and Lake Eric railroads. Mr. Reed was' present Secretary of State Kr.ox' partner as counsel for the Car negie company in 1800-1!HH), when the company is declared to have been part ly to illegal iiools. J. Howard Bridge, of Xew York, who several years ago wrote a book on the inside history of the Carnegie Meet company, was called to the witness stand before Mr. Carnegie was recalled. He testified lie had been given by the com pany officials, access to the original docu ments, but had not had access to books of the company. Representative Young began the ex animation of Mr. Carnegie. He referred to the questions Thursday relating to the reason for the great strides made In the profits of the Carnegie Steel company alter linn, following the pas sage of the Dingley tariff. Mr. Young read statistics showing the production of steel as well as the profits greatly increased. AEROPLANE SAFER. So Thinks Miss Quimby After Train Collision. Chicago, .Tan. 13.

THE HOUSE MAJORITY FIRM Many Issues Are Split Over Campbell , DEMOCRATIC CONTROL SURE The Party Will Follow Underwood in General Berger's Suggestion of a New Party Proves Amusing. Washington, Jan. 13. The efcarp con troversy in the House Thursday over the election of a member of the rules com mittee has left Washington wondering whether the long-looked-for "Democratic split" has come. The Republican regu lars incline to the view that it has ar rived, and point to the fact that despite Oscar l.'nderwood's eloquent appeal for unity, his party broke on the ballot Democrats, however, are saying that many of the Democrats 'v,ho voted against Underwood are dyed-in-the-wool l nderwood followers, and that their loy alty has not been shaken in the least. As a matter of fact, so many ele incuts other than party loyalty entered into the dispute that it is impossible to substantiate the theory of a split For instance, some southern Democrats voted against Campbell because of his attitude on the negro quesion; some voted against Campbell and for Murdock in recognition of Murdock's part in the great contest against the rule of Cannon two years ago; others failed to support Lnderwood because for the moment thev wanted to be on rerd as "progressive' Republicans, such as Gardner of Massa chusetts, voted with the majority. Victor Berger, the Socialist representa tive from Wisconsin, made the hit of the day when he urged the insurgents, if they meant business, to follow the So cialista and form a party of their own, for this is almost precise!y what tho Democratic majority unofficially suggest ed to the insurgents at the beginning of the session. It came out yesterday that this proposition had been seriously put forth when, a month or so ago, Repub lican insurgency loomed up once more. The refusal of insurgents either to work with the regulars or to flock by them selves has cut them off from much sym pathy which they usually get. CABLES FROM PERSIA APPEAL FOR U. S. AID Cairns, Who Took Shuster's Place, Say Americans Are Held to Contracts. Washington, Jan. 13": E. E. Cairns, the young American who was left in charge of the Persian treasury by W. Morgan Sinister, the deposed treasurer general, whi n he left Teheran Thursday for the United States, yesterday cabled Chairman Sul.er of the House committee on foreign affairs an urgent appeal for help. He charged the Persian government with refusing to release the other Amer icans from their contracts and said the state department at Washington was "influenced by American Minister Charles W. Russell" against their claims. Mr. Cairns' cablegram, dated Teheran, follows: "Fourteen American officials affected by Russian ultimatum equally with Sinister desire release on same terms. They have presented claims to Persian government for full salary of unexpired term, traveling expenses and allowance. Anglo-Russian legations supporting claim in good faith. Persian cabinet will obey their instructions. Department state influenced by American minister here, endeavoring to destroy our claims.

Liability legislation means what? It means the same thing as laying down rules to govern a tight. That is abso lutely what it means, and ho man can deny it. The fight is between the wid ows and orphans and the large corpora tions. J I a widow is lUCKy, sue win win-, and if she is unlucky, she will lose. The fact that she has a right to sue will be small consolation to her and her children if she is not able to collect anything. .It is a method of absolute savagery and barbarianism, with the weakest among us pitted against the strongest corporations in the world. I he compensation method means that the widows and orphans and the injured men- will be taken care of. That is a sane, civilized method of settling mat ers of that kind. It may not be as full and complete as it should.be, it may not give us all we are entitled to, but the basis is laid for settling the dis pute. It will mean that if we have the right kind of compensation laws, in the future, when a man is killed or injured, without going to court at all, provision will be made for taking care of the widow and orphans if he is killed, and aking care of the man himself if he is injured. We know the loss of a man who has been guilty of some act of care lessness will fall with as crushing a weight on the widow and orphans as though he were in no way responsible for the accident. We believe when a man is working in the armies of peace, when he is producing something all the people need and use, if he is killed, his wife and children should be provided for un til they are able to take care of them selves, and if he is injured he should be cared for. This is the fundamental idea. We say there is no humane, broad minded man who understands what he is talking about, who will hesitate as between the choice of employers liabil ity and workmen's compensation acts. a Mr. Leslie Shaw, for four years gov ernor of Iowa, erstwhile secretary of the United States treasury, chief stump orator of the Republican party and many years a Sunday school superin tendent and finally chairman of th? American Fibre Reed company, has just given to the world a prospectus of thU company. In it he says, among other things: "The Fibre Reed company's fac tories are located inside prison walls, with 800 prisoners under contract in Maine, Illinois and Kentucky. Our pris on contract are made for eight years. We pay for our labor 52 cents per man per day. Our competitors, who employ free labor, pay an average of $2 per days," and, gentle reader, notice this point: "There are no strikes or labor troubles in prison."

To the great credit of the organized workmen of Atlanta, their new home is paid for. a ' Organizer Ford of the A. F. L., who has charge of the button workers' strike at Muscatine, Iowa, has been indicted by the country grand jury for conspiracy. JIo surrendered himself to the sheriff and gave bond for his appearance. Notwith standing all efforts made by the employ, crs, the strikers stand firm. a From the bulletins issued by the Unit ed States census bureau, the following interesting results have been proven by analysis In 1004, 150,406 persons were engaged as wage earners in the cigar making business; their average annual wages amounted to $302; the value of their product averaged $2,077 per capita. In 1900, the number of wage earners increased to 106,810; ' the average an nual production had increased to $41.), 000, and the average per capita produc tion had increased to $2,437. This shows an increase in wages of six per cent, and an increase in productivity, for the same period, of seventeen per cent. a As a result of the Socialist administra tion in Miulwaukee, the city laborers have had their wages increased from $1.75 to $2.00 per day. The union rate is paid in every department of the city government, thus assuring greater effi ciency and a higher standard of living to the wage earners and this despite the fact that this year the actual tax rate in the city is three cents on the thousand less than ever before. During an address in Cincinnati on December 30, Senator Robert M. La Toi lette attacked the decision of the United States supreme court, in which it brought the organizations of labor un der the restrictions of the Sherman anti trust law. He said "It is strange that when the court goes to its further limit in imposing penalties on combinations of capital, all of the capitalist owners get away with the full value of their property; but when the court goes to the same limit in enforcing penalties on combinations of labor, it takes away the homes and savings of the workman. The fact is, the law was not understood by the people to apply to labor organiza tions, and it is a mistaken judicial con struction that has made it to so apply. The law should be amended by taking out from under its operation all laTior organizations and all employers' asso ciations." By this clear, straightforward statement, Senator La F'ollette has dem onstrated a spirit of high courage, ster ling honesty and true justice, and in addition he has set a noble example to contemporaries. . - a A man who has never belonged to a labor organization has some excuse for striKer in tne same measure as a mem ber of a union taking a union man's place. But where a union man pur chases non-union goods, spends his mon ey with non-union establishments, etc., he is a traitor to unionism and is the real scab. a In the crowded city dwelling, There the atmosphere ill smelling And the microbes fairly revel, Sending death both far and near; Where the sweatshop's slaves are work ing.
