ACOLD WEATHER. TRADE.
ST. Paul Plumbers Find Little Extra
Work fter Cold Snaps.

1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody any
good and probably the plumbers are the only
tradesmen TO whom a rigorous, low-down
cold wave brings rush of work. In cities
East and South the late cold snap crawled
into cellars, burrowed into the ground and
took complete possession of defenseless
buildings, everywhere freezing and burst
ing water and gas pipes and in the morning
every plumber had swarm of customers,
each wanting his job done this morning" 8"
Investigation showed that in st. Paul, how
ever, experience and expectation had pro-
vided against the chilling demonstration.

or letting it run, and the plumbers reported
but small stimulation of trade. lit isn't
to be expected that we shall find much of
an increase after a cold snap" said MEM
Der of prominent st. Paul firm. 1.-The
climate here is as a rule so cold in winter
that about every one in building, except in
the case of certain hurTiedly and cheaply
constructed buildings. makes allowance for
the cold. Of course now and then pipe
bursts, but there is nothing like the amount
of extra work that there is in cities where
severe cold snaps are less frequent"

WORTHY OF HIS HIRE.
A MinneapOIitan Calls Attention TO
an Unjust Discrimination.

an Unjust Discrimination.
To the Editor of the Globe:
In the case of p. +. Byrnes VS.. Charles
Estes, to recover 81, 400 for services as at
torney, recently tried in the district court,
Judge Young, in his charge to the jury, said
that compared with laborers' pay the
smallest sum (sl, ,OOO) stated by witnesses
might seem large for the services rendered,
but the labor in qualifying must be taken
into consideration. 1t is not the manual
labor alone, but the work of preparation
that makes the services valuable"
The Judge thinks s'the labor i'm qualify
ing" should be paid for by the clients.
Well, L suppose it should, but then it's
hardly fair to charge up the whole cost of
his education to one client. The judge also
said: 1T is not the manual labor alone, but
the work of preparation that makes the
services valuable" If a lawyer or other
professional man should be paid for his
work of preparation" why should not a
workingman? Should a wOrkingman be
hired, without any contract being made be-
forehand, and when his services were done
he should put in his bill, charging for actual
work done and Labor in qualifying" say
$50 per day, what howl would be raised
by even the liberal Judge Young.
1t costs as much TO rinse and educate a
good mechanic as it does a lawyer and the
mechanic is more useful to society than the
lawyer; yet he can barely make a living by
the closest economy. lie might save suti-
cient to maintain him in his old age. but a
shyster lawyer can make as much in five
years as he can in lifetime. Dnring a
protracted strike in the mining district of
Pennsylvania one of the miners called on a
physician to see his sick wife. The physi-
clan made ten visits, each visit taking up
one-half hour of his time. The physician
sent in his bill for $50. The miner told him
he would have to wait until he got work
again. ''Well," said the doctor, come over
and do some spading for me
in my garden The miner did
so and worked hard for ten hours
in the garden and made very nice job of
it. The doctor asked him what he charged.
lone hundred dollars" said the miner. Il
charge the same as you, at the rate of SO
an hour" But" said the doctor, ''yOu
should take into consideration what it cost
me to qualify for my profession. Yes, "
said the miner, land you should remember
that while you were qualifying was work
ing for your support" "Well," said the
doctor 1--WE will call this bill square, but
when you want ME again, you must pay in
advance"
We could not blame the physician for his
reply, but would not his example be useful
in such cases as the above? Is 1t not high
time that the legal fees should be made to
harmonic more with the real cost of
preparation? And would not the same
principle be justly applicable to the costly
preparations of many mechanics?
