Mr.. President, it is a marked
tendency IN modern economic and
industrial life that population and
business of all kinds concentrate in
large cities. Much more than one
half of the population Of Great
Britain il crowded into cities and
towns. The tendency in our coun-
try is In the same direction. i do
not regard this as desirable. On
the contrary, think i. would be
far better for the happiness and
prosperity of my countrymen if
wealth and enterprise-all kinds Of
business were more diffused all
over the land. Producer and con-
sumer should be brought nearer to-
eether, that the interchange OF com
modities, the barter and exchange
of the products of agriculture and
manufactures should be carried on
with as little Intervention of middle
men as practicable.

Claim the Business Is Reing Ruined by
Cheap Labor From wheeiing.
According to yesterdays Pittsburg Dis
patch, the river engineers of that .city are
unable to obtain situations because OF .
large influx Of incompetent men from this
city and other down stream points. who are
wiling to work ut wages from % to
so per ceat less than the schedule sst BY the
Engineers Association. In an interview
one Of the engineers so thrown out OF en-
ployment, says:
THE business here Is getting worse and
worse every year. Every time there Is .
rise in the river, a whole delegation of engi-
neers from Wheeling, Parkersburg, Galipo-
lis, the Kanawha river and other points be-
low come up here and offer their services
away under the regular price. The stand
ard of wages is 800 a month, bat these fel-
lows will work for anything they can get.
/ am credibly informed that the head engi-
neer Of one boat only gets $50 q month.
Some days ago the head engineer of the
William Benner hired q partner at 500
a month. A day or so after q fellow
CAM up from Sunfsh and offered
to take the sit at $50 q month. The
Benner was down the river at the time, but
/ suppose when she returns the Sunish man
will catch on. These are not exceptional
cases, but this style of business has become
the rule. Halt the boats on the river are
supplied with engineers of this class, while
twothirds Of the pool boats also come with
in the same rule"
HAS not the Engineers Association Of
this city power to protect Its members
'It would appear not The truth is the
association is not as powerful as it was. 1t
seems to be slowly but surely losing its grip:
At all events, these men come IN here and
do about as they please, while we can only
stand and look on"

"There is where the trouble comes in. A
few of them are good men, but most OF
them are not fit for positions OF such respon'
sibility. To be sure, they have the creden-
Gals granted by Government inspectors, but
it is much easier to become an engineer
now than it was when ] learned the trade.
A fellow will get a position as fireman on
one of the pool boats now, and after work
ing two or three years he will pass an ex-

comes forth with a second engineers
papers. The next thing you know
he is a head engineer, and ready to work for
anything he can get. The inspectors are
entirely too easy; that is one trouble. Why,
down the river at certain places they can
turn out more engineers in a year than you
could crowd on a boat"
"Are not owners afraid to trust their
boats with this class Of mem
"Why, it seems not. Perhaps the head
engineer may be a fairly good man and then
some Cheap John fellow will be put on
with him, and the former has most of the
work to do. The tendency OF this kind Of
work is to reduce wages all around. The

A RELIEF FUND.
Why the Firemen should Have a FUND for
the Injured.

WHY the Firemen should Have n Fund for
the Injured.
Wheeling receives fifty dollars an hour
for the services Of one Of her FIRE engines.
The Niagara put in FIVE straight hours at
the Martins Ferry FIRE the other morning,
making $3.50. Now, why could not this
amount be taken to establish q 6remsn's
relief fund? The Niagara 6remen worked
at Martins Ferry for FIVE hours the other
night, probably running the risk Of being
either injured or killed. They get nothing
extra for this work; while the city gets
$3.50. Now. what better use could this
money, or part OF it. be put to than
for the establishment Of this relief
fund.- A fireman gets hurt at a fire, and
he is compelled to put another man on in
his place. Pays his own doctor bills, and
loses his wages as long as he is unable to
work, as has been the case Of a number OF
times; and is, ever now, with Geo. Ricketts,
of the Hope company. If there was an es,
tsblished reliei fund, fed by this money re-
ceiyed for outside work, it would be q good
thing ard would partly compensate the fire.
men for the work outside of the city. Take
this into consideration, Counciluen.
