the National City bank of New York Professors in the United States Canada and Newfound land will share in the distribution of the income of the fund United States Steel corporation 5 per cent first mortgage bonds for 10000000 have been transferred to a board of trustees and steps will be taken at once to organize a corporation to re ceive the donation Dr Pritchett president of the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology and Mr Vanderlip have been selected by Mr Carnegie to obtain data on the subject to be presented at the first meeting of the board of trustees which will take place on November 15 Mr Carnegies letter to the trustees is dated April 10 and is as follows I have reached the conclusion that the least rewarded of all the profes sions is that of the teacher in our higher educational institutions New York City generally and wisely pro vides retiring pensions for teachers in her public schools and also for a po liceman Few indeed of our colleges are able to do so The consequences are grievous Able men hesitate to adopt teaching as a career and many old professors whose places should be occupied by younger men cannot be retired I have therefore transferred to you and your successors as trustees 10000000 5 per cent first mortgage bonds of the United States Steel cor poration the revenue from which is to provide retiring pensions for the teachers of universities colleges and technical schools in our own country Canada and Newfoundland under such conditions as you may adopt from time to time Expert calculations show that the revenue will be ample for the purpose ENJOINS UNION MEN Federal Court Res trains Strikers From Interfering with Employers Teams CHICAGO For the first time since the strike of the American Railway union in 1894 the government of the United States has been made a party to the labor troubles in this city The government was brought into the teamsters strike by the issuance of an injunction by Judge C C Kholsaat of the United States circuit court The writ was asked on behalf of the Em ployers Teaming company on the grounds that the organization is in corporated under the laws of West Virginia and is therefore under the protection of the federal court The order commands that all defendants refrain from any interference with the business of the Employers Team ing company and commands the strik ers to refrain from picketing massing on the streets with intent to inter fere with the wagons of the complain ant and from interfering in any man ner with non union men in its employ As soon as issued copies of the in junction were printed in large cards and two of these were attached to every wagon of the Employers Team ing company which went upon the streets The injunction exerted a pa cifying influence and there was less rioting in the streets than Thursday A thunderstorm which continued dur ing the latter part of the afternoon and through the evening also lent ma terial assistance in keeping the streets
