for the plaintiff in the sum of six cents,
At the first trial in the circuit court
plaintiff obtained a verdict of 500,
which was promptly set aside by Judge
Sloan, and the case then taken to the
county court. The plaintiff is a tramp

The Scale of Wages at Homestead.
Connected with the deplorable state
of affairs at the Carnegie iron works at
Homestead, Pennsylvania, there has
been a good deal of frst-class lying 60
ing on in every community regarding
the wages the iron workers were re-
ceiying, as we'll as the scale of prices
the workmen were asked to submit to.
At the Homestead works $500 men are
on the pay rolls and Of these $50 are
affected by the tonnage reduction. On
" 1926 of the hands are affected by both
the tonnage reduction and the scale
minimum. The wages of these men
range from 1926 to $11.66 day, the
majority ranging from $500 to $1,000
per day. The Western manager of the
Carnegie company in Chicago, says:
"The scale under which the men have
been working was inaugurated in 1889
for three wears, based on minimum of
$26.50 for steel billets. We have, by
the introduction Of machinery, enabled
men to turn out one-half as much work
again as they did when the scale was
agreed on. AS consequence, where
they we're perfectly satisfied at that
time with an arrangement that enabled
them to make, say $40 day, they now
make $15."
Following is an official statement of
the wages earned under the old scale
and the minimum under the proposed
change, including reduction of work
ing hours from twelve to eight per
day.

Obituary..

Nellie, eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. B. Jones, former residents
of the Fourth ward, died at the family
home in Milwaukee, Saturday, July g.,
1892, aged 10 years. Naturally of a
frail constitution her health began to
fail some two years ago and that dread
disease consumption developed itself,
finally causing her death. 1t is sad to
make record of the demise of one like
the deceased emerging from girlhood
into young womanhood, just on the
threshold, as it were, of the beautiful
world. She was stricken down while
attending the Milwaukee Normal
school, fitting herself for teacher, q
position she was well qualified to fill
by the possession of a finely poised
mind and studious nature. To the
afflicted parents the sympathy of their
large circle of friends is extended for
the great sorrow that has darkened
their pathway of life. The remains of
Miss Jones were brought here yester-
day and laid in the grave in Oak Hill
cemetery, the breeze on the summers
full foliage being her requiem.
Art thou weary, art thou languid,
Art thou sore distressed?
