HOW TRE MEN GET ALONG.

Their Wage


Their Wage.
Some time ago the STATE JOURNAL
printed an article the subject Of which
was the wages received by the employees
at the Santa Fe shops under the then re-
cent reduction Of time Il showed that
there were men working in the shops
who were compelled to support families
on less than tive dollars per week. OF
course this was the poorest class OF labor
employed there, but the same article
showed that the best wages paid the
skilled mechanics did not exceed nine
dollars week. These facts were
gathered from the men themselves.
The last Railroad Register, published
by B. II. Wallace ia Topeka, Contains
an article very similar in its showing. It
declares that if the same condilon of
affairs existed here IN Topeka as to tn q
collection Of rents, etc, large per cent
Of the Santa Fe employees would be no
better of than the employees Of Pull

Of the too few Cod fearing professional
men. MIR. Murray had taught a class Of
young men III The Sunday school, and
WAS popular with the scholars not only
on account OF his liberal and logical
teaching, but by reason of his personal
character.
Frank Ii. Foster. who was Mr.. Murray's
law partner in Topeka. said he met var.
Murray at Ann Arbor law school in 1881,
aud they had been close personal frlends.
