ipport of this general allegation,

a uniform contradt to be entered Into

the lndependant operators along their
respective lines under which the rail
roads wouW be able to control the sale
of Independent output and that by this
their virtual control of all the means of
transportation from the anthracite
mines to tidewater, save the lines of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, the New

the defendant railroads were able to

dependent operators along their lines
Into making these contracts, and fur
ther. that twice In recent years, the de
fendants have defeated the construc
tion of projected Independent railroads
fr.m the mines to tidewater, which
would not only have introduced com
petition Into the transportation of an
thracite coal, but would have permitted
the output of the Indenepdent operators
to be sold in the markets In competi
tion with that of the defendants.
"The petition prays generally that
the defendants bo enjoined from furth

specifically that the above described
contracts be cancelled, and that the
mergers between the Erie Railroad
Company nnd the New- York, Susque*
hanna nnd Western Railroad Company

“In mere amount." says Professor
Giddings. “apart from all questions of
social value, the funds roughly de
scribed as ’benefactions.’ which have
been created in America, are an enor
mous total. The known gifts since
1893, no account being made of many
large bequests .that have not become
a matter of record, foot up to move
than one billion dollars. The gifts of
1906 are supposed to have exceeded
$100,000,000. The bequests of Mr. Car
negie and Mr. Rockefeller, together
with the equivalent donations by others
which these two men are In the habit
of demanding as the condition of
their own payments, amount to near
ly $60,000*000 a year. Until recently
the great benefactions were so distrib
uted that no one institutional or trust
fund, however large if absolutely re
garded. could be described as large in
a -dative sense. It would not stand
in the same class with the capitaliza
tion of the larger business enterprises.
Now*, however, there is an obvious ten
dency toward the creation of single
funds of g-eat magnitude. The Sage
Fund, for example. Is $10,000,000, and
Mr. Rockefeller has recently given
$32,000,000 in a lump sum to the Gen

Declared War
MEXICO CITY. June 12.—Hostili
ties have broken out in Central Amer
ica. A force of Nicaraguans, assisted
by Salvadoran revolutionists, captur
ed the port of Acajutla, Salvador, this
rhornlng. Tills .x:.ir;!mg news came
• this evening in the shape of a role-
gram from President Flnguroa, to the
Salvadoran minister to Mexico, Manuel
Delgado.
The minister la now closeted with
President Diaz. Th<? Nicaraguans on
board the gunboat Momotombo bom
barded the fort and rhen landed
troops. The town Is now in the hands
of Nicaraguan General Manued Rivas.
Intense excitement prevails. It is be
lieved the objective point of the expe
dition Is the port of Pan Jose DfcGua-
temala and that President Zelaya of
Nicaragua, has declared war against
Guatemala.
Acajutla Is the post where all the
Pacific liners make regular calls. It

Yjow strong was the invading force,
but the gunboat could carry about i
1,000 troops.
It is believed that Salvadoran troops
have been rushed to the captured port
and that a second battle had been
already fought, though Minister Del
gado alls received no word of such ac
tion.
It Is thought that the bombardment
of Acajutla is the beginning of
great struggle in Central America
which has been so long coming.
Acajutla is but a few hours from
San Jose DeGuatemala, which is be
lieved to be Zelaya’s objective point.
Zelaya’s action is in direct conflict

York City are 35.l'3$,‘.'4 >,407, an increase of 13.C per cent, over last vear and 20.3 percent
over May, 1915. New York City still reports smaller bank clearings because of the ssnaller
volume of stock market operations and lower security values, and there is a decrease at
Philadelphia, in part due to the same cause. Boston reports a sm:dl gain and Chicago a
large increase, owing in part to higher grain prices and greater activity in the grain market*.
At Pittsburg there is a large increase, and while Baltimore reports a small gain, there is
still s.me irregularity at South Atlantic points, but an iraprovtrnent in the Middle, South,

At the leading cities in the South Atlantic States bank clearings in May show a slightly
larger volume of bank settlements this year, notwithstanding the check in trading on
account of uncertainty regarding the cotton crop. Baltimore reports a small gain and there
ire substantial increases at Richmond, Norfolk, Atlanta, Macon and Jacksonville. A reduced
volume of bank clearings at other cities is caused by the hesitancy in trads and collections.

to determine an enormous patronage j vorce is partly attributable to the more
per c.ent. Such funds can be used also
in a large number of employments.
And all this can be accomplished with
out any conscious complicity in wrong
doing by the legally responsible trus
tees. Those who know the ways of
the business world are well aware of
the rare opportunity which the' chief
tains of the high finar.ee too often find
independent economic positron of wo
men, as a result of which wives are
’better able to provide for themselves
and less dependent upon their hus
bands. The figures compiled by tho
census appear to be consistent with
this theory, although they cannot bo
said to prove It.
The extent to which women are en-
in a board of trustees made up of fine j gaged in bread winning pursuits is in-
cld gentlemen selected far their pro- j creasing. At the census of 18S0 the
bity, but overtrustful and not dispes- j number of women 16 years of age and
ed to take too active an interest in the
concerns which they are supposed to
watch.
For like reasons the interests that
actually do control the vaster funds
will in general wield thei.r power in a
ways resist any extension, even the
most reasonable, of public control over
corporate or othe 1- privileged activity.
Whatever ‘the existing social order’
may happen to be, the powe s of these
vast accumulations will almost inevit
ably be used to maintain it against
any kind of change—beneficiaj change
no less than destructive.”

“Now the point to seize from this
fragmentary record is this.: It has
generally been held that the American
States with the exception of Pennsyl

American tenur.es do not go back to a
feudal system. This is to miss an ex
tremely important fact, namelv: While
the secular nobility, as feudal lords,
wqre moved by self-jnterest in oppos
ing mortmain, the Sroade- and more
philosophical opposition of the state as
a whole, in England and on the con
tinent. was based on the elemental
principle of sovereignty. The state
could not countenance the growth of
a power that as. imperium in irrt-

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The American woman is giving t.he
male sex a mighty hard struggle to re
strict her to lines of occupation that
seem to be suited only to femininity.
According to some census statistics
given out today enough women have
crowded themselves into positions of
hard manual labor, supposed to he
controlled exclusively by men, to jus
tify the officials in taking them into
account in compiling general labor
statistics.
In 1900 there were 5.000.000 v7omen
working in the United States. Women
are gradually monopolizing the teach
ing business. In 1880 the percentage
of female teachers was 67,8; now it is
73.4. Most of the 5.000,000 women at
work were young women: 68.4 per
cent were under 25, and 25.6 per cent
had not reached the age of 21. These
figures are in marked contrast with
those of the male sex. Of the men 16
years of age and over reported as
workers or breadwinners, only 24.7 per
cent were under the age of 25 and only
12.7 per cent were under 21. This con
trast is indicative of the fact that
large numbers of women who support
themselves and others in early life
cease to be breadwinners upon assum
ing the responsibilities of marriage
and child-bearing.
One-third of Married Women Have to
Work.
This conclusion is substantiated by
the statistics of marital or conjugal
condition. Almost two-thirds, or 65
per cent., of the total number of wo
men at work were single, while 15.9
per cent were married, 17.7 per cent
were widows, and 1.3 per cent were
divorced.
The total number of women 16
years of age and over in continental
United States in 1900 was 23 485,550.
The number at work constituted 20.6
per cent of this total. In other words, custon. _
one woman in every five was a bread- i employing over 1.000 women scach and
over reported as having a gainful oc
cupation was 2.353,988: .in 1900 it was
4 833,630, and Increase 'of 2,479,642, or
105.3 per cent. In other words, the
number of women at work more than
doubled in this interval of twenty
years.
Of course the incase was in part
the result ~6¥~fire growth cj the popu
lation. But this accounts fer not
much more than one-half of the total
increase, and it is probable that there
were over 1,000.000 women engaged- in
gainful occupation In 1900 who v.-nuld
not have taken up such occupations
if tendencies had remained the same -
as thev were twenty years before. The
increasing participation of women in
indust ial pursuits is indicated by the
increase shown in the percentages. Of
the women 16 years of age and over.
16 per cent were at work 1820. 19
per cent In 1890. and 20.6 per cent in
1000.
• Increase in Emo'oyment of Married
Women
A comparison with the census of
1890 as regards the number of women
who are bread winers in each marital
class a very noticeable - increase of
the employment of maried women.
As already pointed out the percentage
of be - adwinrfers among marriedi women
is small as compared with the cor
responding percentage for single, wid
owed and .divorced women, but it In
creased f om 4.6 in 1890 to 5.6 in 1800.
which means approximately that one
married woman in 18 was at work In
1900, as compared with one' in 22 in
1890. or that the proportion at work
increased by almost one-half.
In the report of the 1900 census the
detailed classification of breadwinners
with respect to the kind of wmk in
which they were engaged distinguish
es 303 occupations. Women are rep
resented in nil but hree of these oc
cupations. Sfaturaiiy no women were
reported as Unit'd States sol
diers. sailors or marines: nor were
any reported as members of the fire
department or as street car drivers
(though 2 were reported as mQtormen.
But the reader may note with in
terest, and perhaps with some sur
prise. that 5 females were employed as
pilots: that on steam railroads 10 were
employed as baggagemen, 31 as brake-
men, 7 as conductors, 45 as engin«e~s,
and firemen, and 26 as switchmen,
yardmen and flagmen: that 43 were
carriage and hack drivers, that 6 were
reported as ship carpenters, and two
as roofers and slaters: that as many as
185 we-e returned as blacksmiths and
508 as machinists: that 8 were boiler
makers; that 31 were charcoal, coke
ana lime burners, and that It were
well borers. Of course these figures
have little economic or sociological
significance beyond Indicating that
there are few kinds of work f'om
which the female sex is absolutely de
barred. either by nature or" by law or

winner, that term being used to desig
nate persons reported by the census
as following a gainful occupation. Of
the toal male population of the same
age—that is, 16 years and over—90 5
per cent were breadwinners. This dif
ference between the sexes as regards
the percentage of breadwinners is
probably not greater than would be
anticipated. Men take up some occu
pation almost as a matter of course,
and usually follow it the greater part
of their lives. With women the adop
tion of an occupation, although by no
means unusual, is far from being cus
tomary, and in the well-to-do classes
of society is exceptional. Moreover
the pursuit of an occupation by wo
men is probably more often temporary
than permanent
The percentage of bread winners
among women varies widely in differ
ent classes and at different age periods.
The influence of age differences is
shown by the fact that while the per
centage of bread winners is 32.3 for
women 16 to 20 years of age and 30.8
for these 2} to 24 years of age. it is
only 19.9 for those 25 to 34 years and
becomes. still smaller in the older age
groups. In other words, more than 30
per cent of the women under 25 were
at work, but hardly 20 per cent of
those between 25 and 35. and consider
ably less than 20 per cent of those
over 35.
This difference is directly attribut
able to marital condition rather than
to age. The principal reason why the
older women compri r e a smaller per
centage of beard winners Is not that j
they are older but that more of them j
are married. The contrast between the j
marital classes is very marked. Of j
the single women. 49.9 .per cent were,
at work: of the marr'ed, ohly 5.6 per j
c«mt. For widows the percentage is |
31.5—not as high a-- that for single
women, but much higher than that for
the married.
Divorced Women at Work.

Half Million Female Farm Laborers.
Notwithstanding the increased di
versity of employment for women, do
mestic service still remains the most
important by far of the occupations
in which they are engaged. Of the
4.836.630 women in continentai_United
States reported as engaged in gain
ful occupations at he time of the
twelfth census, 1,124.383. r>r t4lrr«9(t
one-fourth of the total number, were
returned as servants. It may seem
surprising that the next most impor
tant occupation for womev is that of
farm laborer, and that the number of
women reported as following this oc
cupation was 456,405 or almost half a
million.
The significance of the figures will
be better understood when it is pointed
out that 442,006 or'96.8 per cent of
these female farm laborers were re
ported frm the Southern Sates, and
that 361.804 or 79.3 pe- cent of the total
number were of the negro race. More
over It appears that 277.727. or 60.9
per cent of the total number were
members of the farmer’s famlUes.-rep-
resentlng the wives and grown-up
daughters assisting in >he work on the
home farms.
Next to these two leading ccupa-
tions come four occupations not far
apart in numerical importance, though
widely different in character They are
the occupation of dressmaker.laundress,
teacher and farmer. The larges of
these occupations—that of dressmaker
—employed 338,114 women, and the
smallest—that of fa* mer—employed
397.706. Of teachers there were 327.-
206: of laundresses. 328,935.
Three-fifths of the total number of
women reported as breadwinners were
found in the six occupations employ
ing more than 390,000 women each, the
ag**evate number in these occupations
being 2,882.779. The total number of
women reported as textile mill opera
tives—231.458—makes the seventh oc
cupation group in numerical Impor
tance. The occupation next in rank
is that of housekeepers and steward
esses. This comprised 146.929 women. »
The housekeepers here referred to
are those working fo- wages, the
housework or housekeeping done by
women in thrtr own homes not being
treated by the census as a gainful occu
pation. although ft has. of course, a,
great economical importance not to be
overlooked in any attempt to estimate
the social value of wonman's work....
