Seven hundred employes who had worked for the William Demuth Company for a year learned today that they would share $25,000. set aside by the will of Mr. Demuth to be divided pro rata on the basis of their-wages.

After a trip through - Alaska, Jacob Gould Schua mas, president of Cornell University, returns convinced that present laws and the policy of the Government are seriously retarding the development of. Alaska. In a statement given out on his ar rival here Schurman declares the Gov ernment is pursuing an ultra-conservative policy and keeping capital out. The land laws of this country are applicable to agricultural regions," he says, "but In Alaska agriculture is un known. Private enterprise is hin dered. In a territory so vast as Alaska much capital is required to stimulate its development,' I do not believe that the corporations should be given full away. . Development - should "be, under the control of the Government, and I would advocate that for eyery ton of coal mined the Government receive royalty. ' ' "But the development of Alaska can never come until the capital is admit ted, and the present laws abrogated. In this country it is not necessary to possess large capital to develop, but in Alaska individual development Is too large a problem to be coped with. Much capital must be used to open mines and build railroads. EMPLOYES ISSUE REPLY (Continued From First Pare.) having our committee so often in the manager's office. We do not see Why the companies should oppose a system which, would give .them less trouble and bring about , better discipline among employes." To Mr. Kruttschnitt's statement that limitation of apprentices would deny to American boys opportunity to learn trade, the reply is made that "our present contract with the Harriman lines have a clause governing the ap prentice system. For years it has been in the Southern Pacifio agreements." Wage Issue Separate. The demand for increased wages. says the statement, "would be matter for discussion in a conference," adding that it Is "usually a game of give and take." The closed shop It declares to be an open question. As to piece work and premium sys tems, the international presidents de clare they "do not try to eover the fact that we are opposed to either system and will never submit to them If It Is in our power to prevent it." The personal and physical reoord system, the statement says, "gives the employer a chance to drive the em ployes to the poorhouse." The whole intent of the federation is thus summed up: 'No one who has watched the his tory of large corporations can but rec ognize that if labor does not protect itself, it will have but small shares of the product. The federation of crafts Is the only solution w have found to cope with federated corporations." The statement Is signed by J. W. Kline, international president of the Blacksmiths and Helpers; J. A. Frank lin, international president of the Boilermakers; . J. D. Buckalew, inter national vice-president of the Machin ists; W. R. Ryan, general president of the Railway Carmen, and J. D. Crane, vice-president of the Sheet Metal Workers' organizations. lng the Federated Shop Employes to President Markham of the Illinois Cen tral Railroad, seeking another confer ence Tuesday, were not answered to day by the railroad officers. The let ters set forth that an answer by Tues day morning was desired. The union men say they have com piled with the technicality requiring 30 days notice to cancel existing con tracts with the road. They maintain, however, that should President Mark ham ignoro their reques for another conference, they would not consider themselves bound to wait until the end of September to take whatever action may be decided on. The subject of reaching an agree ment with the railroad now rests with the representatives of the International unions involved.. The Federation dele gation left Chicago today, leaving only President McCreery and Secretary Bow en here. As the railroad has flatly re fused to deal with the representatives or the Federation, .these officials can do no -mose than await the results of the efforts of the international representatives. After two conferences held today in the office of W. F. -Kramer, secretary of the Blacksmiths and Helpers' Inter national Union, it was made known that no definite action would be taken until Tuesday. . The union men believe that President Markham will receive them again and. that they will be able to ad. just the controversy. Even should President Markham r. fuse another conference.

COLLISION COMES IN DARK Captain of Destroying Craft Says Small Boat Disregarded Signals and ' Sheered Across Bis Bows Only One Saved. TOLEDO, O., Sept 2. Preparations for the celebration of Labor day in this city were halted today while citizens lent aid to the search for the bodies of city officers and employes who were drowned early today when a launch was rammed and sunk by the barge Philip Minch, only one of the elgat passengers in the launch escaping . i watery death. The dead are: Harry Batch, City Councilman James Wisler, Superintendent of Wa ter Works; Thomas Purcell, 48, master mechanic of the water wovks plant Fred Shane, secretary of Service Di rector Col well; William Blatt, water works Inspector; William Carroll, 38, bookkeeper at water works; Rudolph Yunker, aged 50. i The waters of the bay were searched all day in a futile effort to find the bodies. - The eight men left Toledo at mid night for Kelley's Island, in Lake Erie to fish until Monday night Seven of the party were above on the forward deck when the barge struck the 35 foot gasoline launch. - Engineer Only Survivor. Michael Mayer, engineer and part owner of the launch Nemo, was below, and he was the only one saved. He is uffering a physical collapse as a re sult of his experience in the water fol lowing the collision. He was rescued an hour after the collision. "I was attending the engine," said Mayer, "and the first thing I knew another boat was hear us and I was knocked down by the force of the col lision. I tried several ways to get out and soon the launch parted In the middle. I grabbed one of the life- preservers from our boat and succeeded in keeping afloat until the rescuers from the barge picked me up." Captain L. B. Cummings, of the Minch, said: "The Minch, bound for Toledo light to land coal, was In the straight channel, when the lights of launch, outbound and apparently Just outside the channel to the west ward, were sighted a mile and a half away some minutes before the collis ion occurred. Signals Not Heeded. ? Captain Cummings blew two blasts of the whistle, indicating that he was directing his course to port and sig naling the launch to pass to the left The launch blew no answering signal, as required by the pilot rules, and sheered suddenly into the channel and toward the steamer, which was under check, making about eight and one- half miles. "Captain Cummings then sounded the danger signal, but there was Btlll no response from tne launcn, wnicn was apporachlng the, Minch s bow at about nine miles an hour. The steel stem of the Minch struck the launch squarely on the port side and cut it in two. The Minch's anchor was let go in stantly and 10 lifepreservers were thrown overboard. A yawl boat was lowered quickly and search made for the occupants of the launch, all of whom, except Michael Mayer, had been hurled into the water. Mayer was found with a lifepre- server tied about him, clinging to a floating section of the launch." GROWTH CAUSE OF RIOTS (Continued From First Page.)

Ha was also to exhibit that fervid energy and that power of work when the emergency arises, which has also been one of the secrets of his strength, ' tor all through the conflict he was either at his office, or, if he were out of town, he had a motor car at the door, and he was ready to start off and re sume his fight for peace at any hour of the day or night In the end, as is known, he got the directors and the men to make a treaty of peace, which was to last tor seven years, wihloh es tablished a Board of Conciliation end which seemed to offer every chance of permanent tranquillity, good feeling and good conditions. . Men Not Represented. But there were some necessary hiatuses In that eettlement and one of these was that the trades unions were not recognised. This is the es sential and supreme point of conflict today. For what happens now is this that the grievances of the men have to be set forth by one of themselves, epeaklng before a tribunal consisting of his employers; and of men not only in a stronger position than himself, but probably more expert in speech and readier in argument -'The men, there fore, insist their case shall be put in different way, that is to say, by one of their union officials who is in their employ and not in that of the company. and one wh can be relied on to speak plainly and clearly. In the appeals to the board of con ciliation the men have found them selves worsted; this has brought an exasperating of helplessness, and help lessness partly through chains which they made for themselves .when they signed the Lloyd-George treaty. This accounts for the exasperation of the mllwav men and for their breaking away from their agreement and their old leaders. Socialism Makes Converts. Another factor is the growing strength of the more advanced forms of political opinion among the work ing classes. It is vain to deny mat. Socialism has - made any converts m England during the last decade. You see proof of this almost any Sunday of the year In the greal rasun tmco. The Socialist lecturer uses the vast music hall. Instead of the church or the chnpel; and here he speaks to a larger and more rapt audience than even the most popular preacher in the most fashionable cathedral; and there is thus growing a larger body of social opinion In England than many people have yet realized. The old patient submission to poverty, to low wages, to long hours, no longer exists. The new generation of English working men is more stiff necked than the old. Finally, an ac cidental new factor at the present mo ment is the excessive heat of the weather. Everybody who has any work to do can sympathize with fiercer re sistance of the men who are engaged in dangerous and specially irksome trades to their eonditions of life. Who can think In the middle of such weath- Modern business demands the most efficient system of accounting. It should be automatic, simple, and enable you to instantly de tect the leaks.

Finally, these disturbances must in some measure be ascribed to the vio lence of the young bloods who have been trying to lead the . Tory party during the last few months. Can any body wonder if we have some violence in the streets of great industrial cen ters when we have Hooliganism on the floor of the House of Commons led by Lord Hugh Cecil in the very heart and center of the Imperial Parliament Example Set in Parliament. What can be more inconsistent than the appeal for further violence against the masses of Liverpool by the very men who have been inciting the masses of Belfast to revolt against the decrees of the Imperial Parliament if these decrees should be in favor of the self government to Ireland. I never heard a juster or a more seating indictment in the House of Commons than that of Mr. Winston Churchill, wben he came to reply to the insolent and wicked speech of Lord Hugh Cecil, in which that delicious specimen of the Tory mind declared that the battle for home rule would be fought not In London but in Belfast Mr. Churchill asked how such language could be used at the very moment when the government and the country were face to face with large masses of working men, some of them perhaps hungry, who, if they dared to follow the ad vice' of Lord Hugh Cecil to the work ingmen of Belfast, would be de nounced by the same gentlemen, as would also the Home Secretary if be did not employ sufficient violence in putting them down.
