Grand Trunk Employees.

The action of the Grand Trunk Railway
company in reducing the wages of the
workmen is the subject of much comment
among railway employees at present. 1t
made reduction of 10 per cent. year ago
and gave the employees TO understand that
the reduction was to be only temporary
and that as soon as business picked up the
former salaries would be restored. A year
has passed and instead of former wages be-
ing restored further reduction has been
made. The employees are IN poor posi-
ton to strike and have. therefore, to resign
themselves to the action of the Grand
Trunk management. They state the Off
cials are imported Englishmen who act with
insoience toward them. They contemplate
a strike ON April 1, unless their wages are
restored.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
/ would like to have the public become
more enlightened in regard 70 plumbing.
Minneapolis is supposed to be model city
in sanitary respects. but it isn't thoroughly
sanitary in the plumbing line. We have
plumbing inspector who tries and does full
fill his duties as far as he knows. but he
cannot be practical man. as he Is not
plumber by trade. l think that ii is Just as
necessary to have practical plumbing in
spectOr as it is necessary to have practi-
cal boiler inspector, a practical man for
building inspector, etc. Larger cities,
for instance. New York. Philadelphia.
Brooklyn. Chicago. St Louis and other
cities. even cities that are not as important
as Minneapolis, have practical plumbers for
plumbing inspectors. AS no others can nil
the position or situation. as long as we have
an inspector. why can't we have practical
one? A practical inspector would pay more
and stricter attention to new work.
as he would be more enlight-
ened than our present inspector.
There are lots of little things he would
look after and which would be beneficial to
our citizens. ST. Paul has plumbing in
sDector. but he is a practical plumber by
profession, and will say in their plumb
ing WORK they are stricter and more Careful
than they are here in Minneapolis Why
are they so? Because they have practical
man 10 make them live up TO the ordinance.
Thus It would be beneficial TO US. the citi-
zens of Minneapolis. tn have practical in
spector TO fill a situation that requires a
practical man to fill. Now. do not let st.
Paul Guido us in this matter. Let's have a
practical man for this position. CITIZEN.

DREsBACH.

The principal industry of Dresbach,
Winona county, is the manufacture and
preparation of building material. Over
5, 600. 600 brick are manufactured here every
year from the superior clay, of which there
Is an inexhaustible supply, and a number
of larger works are in operation.
Within the last five years building stone
was discovered here in unlimited quantity
equal, and it is claimed by some experts
superior. to that found in Ohio. 1t is a
blue and buff sandstone, of entirely differ
ent nature each. but working together very
harmoniOusly and lying very near the sur
face. There are two of these sandstone
ouarries partially developed in the village
and their products are becoming quite
noted.
Messrs. Sherwood g. johnson, who own
and operate two large brick yards with a
capacity of 5000. 600 year, are enlarging

MINNEAPOLIS RED-HOTs.

The GLOBE desires 10 make its industrial
department as interesting and valuable as
possible to the wOrkingmen and public in
general. To this end il offers 10 print COM
municatiOns that are calculated TO throw
any light upon the questions pertaining to
the labor problem. The response 10 this
invitation has been so hearty that the
GLOBE has been able TO present to its read
ers each Sunday the thoughts OF men who
have given the subject of political economy
no little attention. Fully approaching the
value of the correspondence the GLOBE is
Obliged because of limited space TO ask
that hereafter communications shall be
limited as nearly as possible 20 500 words
or quarter of column. If this rule is
observed the GLOBE will be able TO present
a greater variety Ofopinions and you know
that two heads are better than one.
So
After having written your communion
cation rewrite il and see If by cutting out
superfluous words and avoiding repetitions
you cannot lessen its length by half.
So
The eight-hour movement. which has
extended throughout the East. has reached
Minneapolis. and last week received quite
an impetus. The carpenters have decided
TO debate the question fairly and thoroughly.
An eight-hOur league is to be formed. and
it is expected that several different trades
will participate in the movement
-
Only eight hours pay for eight hours
work will be asked. II the men are will
ing TO curtail their own pay can any fair
minded man object?
So
The position of the church towards the
labor unions is a subject to which two
communications are directed this week. A
fair discussion of any subject is generally
apt to be productive Of good; but i'm this
case where prejudice. on one side at least.
is so strong, it is doubtful if any good
results.

THE STREET can DRIVERS
who Work Long Hours and FOR
small Pay.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
ST. PAUL, Jan. 29, 1Ss6.-A question Of
great interest to the workingmen of the
the twin cities at present, and has been for
many days, is the organization of the street
car drivers. Out of all decency these men
are kept at work from sixteen to seventeen
hours per day. one man firing six spans of
mules in a day. and to witness the condi-
ton of teams hauling cars on those lines is
perfectly horrible. Only yesterday the
writer witnessed team hauling a car up
the Fourth street grade In a condi-
ton not In reason and decency to
any extent whatever. and on investigation l
have learned that men are kept on those
cars in a state of fatigue that hardly ena-
bled them to stand on their feet. These
statements can be verified il required. and
all those hours of toll undergone for the
small sum of So per day.
If matters have reached state in which
men are required to work two days in one
for one days pay. then these thing are JUS
Unable. but justice admits Of no such read
ing as this. and men running street car
lines will have to learn in the near
future that men are not animals.
