Its creation is demanded in the name of the 63,000 chil- dren of school age in the District, and es- pecially in the name of the 33,000 of this number who are over twelve years of age. Twenty Thousand Governmeat Em- ployes. “Investigation of the departmental libra- ries shows that a very large percentage of their 300,000 volumes is composed of tech- nical books and books of reference, which have a direct bearing on the work of the department which possesses them; that there are only between 20,000 and 30,000 volumes suitable for a general circulating. Ubrary, and these are confined mainly to three departments. The Interior Depart- ment, with 10,000 volumes, and the War and Treasury Departments, with 5,000 vol+ umes each, possess nearly all these books. The clerks in the departments which have no Hbraries need and demand them, and the favored departments need a wider range of reading material than the small collection at the disposal of each provides. There are, in round numbers, about 20,000 persons residing in Washington who draw salaries from the government. Many of these represent families, and the number of readers in this government constituency can therefore be estimated only by the cus- tomary- multiplication of the number of government employes. In the name, also, of this numerous and book-loving element of the population the creation of the pro- posed local library is demanded. Twenty-Three Thousand Working- men, “Last, but not least, comes a powerful appeal from the District workingman. Sometimes, in view of the notable absence from the capital of dirty, noisy factories, which wou!d tend to reduce the city’s at- tractiveness as a place of residence, the question is raised, ‘Is there any such indi- vidual as the District workingman? The census of 1890 discloses the fact that while it is the policy of the capital to encourago enly Nght and clean manufacturing, like that of Paris, over twenty-three thousand adults were engaged in the District in lines of work which are classed as manufactures, omitting from consideration entirely all the other numerous forms of labor. Nineteen thousand of these are engaged in purely lo- cal industries. Over four thousand are dis- covered to be in government employ, mam- ly in the government printing office and the bureau of engraving and printing. It ap- pears from this report that there were in 1890 in the District twenty-three hundred manufacturing establishments with a cap- ital of $28,576,258, paying in wages $14,638,- 790, using materials costing $17,187,752, an with products of the value of $30,296,259. “To the census figures must be added the thousands of workingmen engaged in other lines of work not classed as manufactures, and then this number must be multiplied, since many are the heads of families, to ascertain the number of readers, and in behalf of this great multitude of people a free lending library and night reading room are now demanded. All Washington Appeals. “While attention has been called to cer- tain elements of the papulation as standing in special need of library facilities, it is to be remembered that only a small fraction of all the people in Washington have the leisure to utilize and enjoy a public library during daylight hours, so that practicaily a whole city of 250,000 inhabitants makes this appeal.”” The committee’s report then proceeded to discuss the ways and means of organizing the library, poicting out various methods of accumulating the requisite books, by purchase; by centribution, by donation from the surplus of the Congressional Library and by the transfer of the books of general circulation In the several de- partmental libraries. It likewise touched upon the question of hcusing the collection thus formed, suggesting that space In the rew post office building might perhaps be spared for this nicst vseful purpose. Like- wise the sucgestion was advanced that if in the course of time the District should secure a municipal building worthy the ame and the capital space should be given in such a structure to so worthy and ap- propriate @ purpese as a municipal library. The Original Bill. On the basis of the facts set forth the ecmmittee recommended that an effort be made to secure from Congress the proper legislation, and submitted the bill that be- came the subject of so much controversy in the later stages in the fight for library fa- cilities. It provided for the establishment of a free public liorary in the city of Washington for the use of the citizens of the District and the employes of the var- fous governmental offices and departments. It intrusted the management of the library to a board of eleven trustees, to be ap- pointed by the President, and provided for the location of the library in the new post office buildiag, directing the architect to so artange his plans as to accommodate this institution, with capacity for not less than 75,000 volumes. It also provided for tha transfer of such books, periodicals or other literary matter as might properly be spared frem the departments, bureaus and offices to this new library, and authorized and di- rected the librarian of Congress to turn over to the free library such duplicate vol- umes es might not be required by the Library of Congress. After empowering the trustees to administer the affairs of the library, it specifically opened the privileges of the collection, both for reference and circulating purpcses, to all citizens of the District and employes of the government on duty in Washington, and directed that the expenses of maintenance be divided equally between the District and the gen- eral government, the Commissioners sub- mitting annual estimates in accordance with their usual custom. The bill thus drafted was later introduced into both houses of Congress. Departmental Rooks. It was estimated that there were approx!- mately in the various departmental libra- ries 300,000 volumes of all kinds, of which only about 20,000 were of a miscellaneous circulating character. Thase were divided ane LAUNCHING THE LIFE-BOAT, Thera are greater dangers in those ef the sea.

Thus the zarly project of forming the free municipal library involved only the accession of about 20,000 voluines, as part of the nucleus for the formation of the city library. In addition it was contem- plated that the Hbrarian of Congress would b3 authorizei by Congress to turn over to the new institution such duplicate copies of uncopyrighted books in his charge as might vot be required for use in the Library of Congress. These were estimated to amount ia the aggr2gate to about 14,000 volumes, end in this way there was in view a con- templated beginning of thirty-four or thir- ty-five thousand tooks for free circulation among the people. Private Contributions Promised. As soon as the proposition to create the municipal library was broache/ coatribu tions wers promised from many private scurces, both of money and of books, con- tingent, however, upon thy enactment of a law creating th> propesed library undar municipal and national suspices, A condi- t.enal fund of several thousand lollars was In this way premised. After repeated efforts a bill for the crea- tion and maintenance of the library was carried through the House District commit- tee in the winter of 1804-5 and was consid- ared in the House. Its friends, however, thoughtlessly permitted it there to be amended to the effect of calling for an in- dependent bullding for the proposed library, thus necessitating the r2ferenca of the bill to the committee on public buildings and grounds, where it slumbered to the end of the session and the Congress. Indorsed by All Citizens. The board of trade’s proposition to create a free municipal library was heartily ap- proved by all classes of citizens. The Dis- trict Commissioners promptly gave it their official indorsement. The public school au- thorities warmly advocated the project as tending toward a still further enlargement of the scope of the public educational work that had then and is now carried to such a high plane in the District. It met the ap- proval of the workingmen, who, through their organizations, seconded the motion for the library's creation and used their in- fluence, exerted in various ways, to secure the passage of the bill. The citizens’ asso- ciations in the various sections entered upon the enterprisé with spirit and at their meetings passed resolutions in favor of the plan and lent valuable aid for its adoption. The departmental clerks, aside from their other associations, advocated the plan, and thus, in a short time, the propaganda for the creation of the brary was well under way, with a host.of supporters of all grades of official and private standing, and bring- ing influences of every imaginable decrip- tion to bear upon th members of Congress. The board of trdd¢’tommittee managed the campaign for thel{btary and advanced the interests of the plap whenever the oppor- tunity afforded. at The postponemént ‘of the project at the first session duripg’which the matter was broached was by fib’ means a permanent discouragement, fdr the committee reported to the board at the annual meeting in the following November (1895) that the purpose was to press diligently on toward the goal of legislationu. The board again approved the plan and the) yarious agencies were once more set at, work to secure action at the session of "95-6. This campaign was successful in part. The bill was passed by both houses, though shorn of its references to the matter of maintenance. In the form in which it was enacted into law it differed somewhat from. the priginal draft and cre- ated the library asia “supplement, of the public education system of the District.” ‘The House objected to the proposition to place the expense of maintenance equally upon the District and the government, and struck from the bill the paragraph to that effect, inserting in its.stead a paragraph placing the expense entirely upon the Dis- trict. This raised the vital issue affecting the organic act that has now been settled to the satisfaction of all citizens who hope for the maintenance of that law. A Notable Conference. The conference between the houses was notable in many respects, The House con- ferees were not chosen exclusively from the District committee, from which the meas- ure emanated and which had supported it in its passage. Two of the three conferees were taken from outside that bedy and strove to retain the House pro- vision regarding the maintenance of the library. After many meetings, in which the District's best interests were ably sup- ported by Senators McMillan, Proctor and Wetmore, conferees on the part of the Senate, and Representative Babcock of the Hcuse conferees, a compromise was agreed upon. The opposing sections relating tu maintenance, adopted by the two houses, were dropped, leaving the bill merely a creative measure without directing specifi- cally how the library should be maintained. The act as approved by the President June 3, 1896, provides for the establishment and maintenance of a library in the Dis- trict to be available as a lending or circu- lating library to all permanent or tem- perary residents of the District; to be in charge of a board of nine trustees to be appointed by the Commissioners, and to be located in some convenient place in the city until a municipal building is erected in the District. In that event accommo- dations shall be provided in that building for the library and reading room sufficient for not less than 100,000 volumes. The Commissioners’ Estimates, The law having created the library as a “supplement of the public education sys- tem of the District,” the Commissioners, in conformity with thelr usual-course, in- ccrporated estimates for the new institu- tion in the next annual budget, submit- ted to the session beginning in December, 1896, asking for $8,300 for the’ maintenance of the library. The House ignored the item, but the Senate inserted it in the bill. It was stricken out in conference, and for another year the library existed only on paper. Steps had previously been taken, owever, for the organization of the board of trustees, as provided for by the creating law, which been so amended as to place the authority of appointment in the hends of the Commissioners. These trus- tees have maintained the effort for the ap- propriate additional legislation, and, co- operating with other agencies, have now succeeded.

In the Hcuse, as in the Senate, the members of the District committee have wrought nobly for the library, Chairmen Babcock and Mc- Millan never faltering in their insistence upon the proper adjustment of this item. Practically all the members of these two bodies have at one time or another ex- pressed themselves in favor of a properly maintained public library and voted with the citizens. Outside of the District com- mittees in the House much good work was done in debate and otherwise by Represent- atives Grosvenor of Ohio, Henderson of Iowa, Griswold of Pennsylvania, Catchings of Mississippi, Hulick of Ohio and Hainer of Nebraska. Senator, then Representative, Wellington of Maryland strove for the measure in its early stages, having had charge of it when it went from the District committee, and stoutly resisting the effort, temporarily successful, to put the entire expense upon the District. Representative Grout of Vermont was from the first a warm supporter of the bill and fought for the library when the matter was in con- ference at this session. In the Senate those who warmly advocated the creation of the library on the basis of the organic act were Senators Bacon, Hale, Hoar, Teller, Alli- son, Stewart, Walcott, Faulkner, Chandler, Platt of Connecticut, Harris of Tennessee (now dead) and Call of Florida (now re- tired from the Senate). Senator Allison, chairman of the appropriations committee, has co-operated effectively with Senator McMillan, chairman of the District coim- mittee, in securing a favorable outcome of the controversy and deserves hearty thanks for his good work. The roll of honor in this connection is long and contains many names prominent throughout the nation. The District's fight for a free library has brought to its aid such a host of friends that the final winning is practically a guar- antee of continued success along the same line in the future. Active steps for the practical establish- ment of the library upon the basis of the rewly enacted District bill will at once be taken, and before many weeks the citizens of the District will begin to enjoy that long- withheld privilege, access to a free public circulating library sustained as an adjunct of the public schools. The Library Law. The law creating the free public library and reading room in the District of Co- lumbia is as follows: “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a free public library and reading room is hereby established and shall be maintained in the District of Columbia, which shall be the property of the said District and a sup- plement of the public educational system of said District. All actions relating to such library, or for the recovery of any penalties lawfully established in relation thereto, shall be brought in the name of the District of Columbia, and the Commis- sioners of said District are authorized on behalf of said District to accept and take title to all gifts, bequests and devises for the purpose of aiding In the maintenance cr endowment of said library; and the Com- missioners of said District are further au- thorized to receive as component parts of said library collections of books and other Aicigearo that may be transferred to them. “Sec. 2.

IRON KNEADED LIKE DOUGH. Great Castings Squeezed by Hydraulic Power. From the Philadelphia Record. One of the effects of the present war has been to arouse public interest in the great industrial establishments of the country for the manufacture of armor and m>tal cast- irgs used in ship and engine building. The Bethlehem Iron Company is one of the largest and most progressive concerns of this kind in the world. Its machinery is of the most gigantic proportion, and the work performed is on a proportional scale. Open hearth steel ingots are here cast weighing 150,000 pounds and over. These are lifted by the great traveling cranes as readiiy as though they weighed bul a few pounds each, and they are squeezed in the giant press into huge pancakes as readily as though made of dough; forged into the Proper shapes and finished to size with a degree of accuracy that Is simply amaaing, even to those who are familiar with the work, and incomprhensible to others, A few years ago this company built a giant steam hammer (the bi in the world), the falling part of w 125 tons. This was intend the ingots into shape for pu! ses, but the increased size of the forgings soon outstripped the capacity even of this leviathan machine, and it became necessary to construct a much more power- ful “squeezer.” ‘The new 14,000-ton hydrau- lic forging press has entirely superseded+ the 125-ton steam hammer. mping en- gine of 15,000 hors> to op- erate the pumps for moving the pisions of this huge press when slowly squeezi immense ingot of steel.
