DAY WAGES, TOO.
The News McdifeS its
Original Offer.
FREE TRIP TO EUROPE.
Pay Day Will Come. Every Week Just
the Same.
IT IS LIKE PLAYING A WINNER"
A Query Suggested by n Correspondent
Promptly Answered-It Will Pay to
Go-Lots of Men Saving" Ballots
and Lots of Others Sending Them In.

The NEWS Is to-day obliged slightly to mod
ify its offer of free trip to Europe to repre-
sentative Rhode Island workingman. The
modification is one which will not be unwel-
come, however. we are sure.
IL was this letter which suggested the modi-
fication:
TO The Editor Of the Nelrs:
SR-Your generous offer Of a free trip 10
Europe 10 a representative Rhode Island work.
ingman does credit To the management of the
NEWS. But has IL not occurred To you that "a
married man with family might be willing
and anxious to go and yet unable to do so for
financial reasonsl IL isn't every one who
can give up his day wages for a considerable
period even to take such trip as you pro-
have,e mind such n man, who has spoken
10 me about the trip often and who has begun
saving ballots but hasn't yet decided TO be-
come a candidate. If, now, you could pay half
wages To the representative or TO his family
or make them some sort OF living allowance
while the head of the house was away, II
would be making quite complete an offer which
you may well think sufficiently generous al
ready.
Pardon me for this suggestion and believe
me. YOURS very truly, -
Will the NEWS pay half wages to the
workingmen's representative while on the
free trip to Europe? Decidedly not We
do not care to do things by halves. There
fore the following modification of tie
NEWS offer is proposed
The Offer.
The News proposes to send at it's own
cost n representative Rhode Island work
ingman to Great Britain to report upon
the condition of workingmen there 1t
will pay all his expenses and furnish him
with guide books and all necessary infor-
nation aud assistance in laying out his
route. cit will also pay tull day wages
for every day of his absence either To him
or TO his family. He will start some time
in May and will have time enough TO do "a
great deal Of sightseeing besides investiga-
ting huts and houels and tenements.
Thus, if man has n family, its support
will be amply provided Tor whlle he Is
gone, and the wife can put "a tidy sum in
the savings bank every week besides, as
expenses will of course be less with the
husband away. If he is single he can save
every cent of his wages for the entire dur
alton of the trip.
Mr.. Anthony Can Keep His Place.
We have received the following letter
from Mr. Albert r.. Potter. superinten-
dent of the Union Railroad Company:
To the Editor Of the Ne,cs:
SIR-I notice that Mr.. Joseph o. Anthony,
an employe of the L. X. r., Is suggested as "a
candidate for your free trip to Europe. Mr..
Anthony is courteous add efficient employe
whose services the company appreciates, and
he Wns the pr5e Is bs not Unlikely ba
sured OF finding his place open on his return.
Yours very truly,
ALBERT T. POTTER.
Thus. with his regular day wages as
snred to him while ae il gone and the
certainty of place when he gets back
what's the matter with Anthony? He's
all right
Probably other employers will be equally
considerate.
