HORSE SENSE

WATER is good for horses 'ect. If
they get hard soak them II warm
water. Never oil or varnish any part
of a horses foot.
KEEP a foot hook handy and clean
out the feet every day. 1t will prevent
thrush and other diseases of the foot.
KEEP the harness soft and flexible by
frequent oiiing. 1t will last much
longer and beside horse will work
with much more comfort thG n in hard,
ill-ftting, unyielding harness.
TAKE the harness off the horses 20
noon; remove t1ssrR liars 50 that the
shoulders may become cool Brush
them thoroughly and wipe the collars
clean before replacing them. 1t will
only take few moments and perhaps
save days of idlcncss if the neck or
shoulders should become sore. If in
clincd to be tender. bathe in strong
alum water.

ordinary course Of judicial proceedings, the
laws of the United States within the state OF

state: and
Whereas, That for the purpose Of enforcing
the faithful execution Of the laws of the United
States and protecting its property and remOv-
ing distractions to the United States in the
state and city aforesaid the president has en-
ployad part of the military forces OF the

Now, therefore, 1, Grover Cleveland, presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby admonish
all good citizens, and all p rsOnS who may be
may come within the city and state afore-
said, against aiding, countenancing. encour-
aging or taking any part in such unlawful OBJ
StructiOnS, combinations and aSSemblageS; and

Those who disregard this warning and per-
SiSt in taking part with riotouS mob in fOrci-
bly, resisting and obstructing the execution of
the laws of the United States or interfering
with the functions of the government or de-
strOying or attempting to destroy the property

protection, cannot be regarded otherwise than
as public enemies
Troops employed against such a riOtOuS mob
will act with all moderation and fOrbear1nGe
consistent with the accomplishment of the de-

of riOtOuS aSsemblageS.
While there will be no hesitation or vacilla-
tion in the decisive treatment Of the guilty. this
warning is especially intended to protect and

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Chairman Heath
cote of the Pullman strike committee
was recalled by the strike commissioners
for further examination. Mr.. Heath
cote was questioned at length as to the
cause Of the strike and related in
stances of what he considered the COM
pany's tyranny. He said that one of
the workmen had been struck in the
face by another, and that when the as
saulted man attempted to prosecute his
assailant, he was told by his foreman to
drop proceedings or he would be dis
charged. The witness said that about
1000 men struck at Pullman, and that
each paid 81 to the A. R. U.
Mary Abbott Wood, one of the women
strikers, was called, and said that the
wages paid by the Pullman company
were insufficient for the bare necessities
of life.
81 received 81 per day." she said,
"and paid $17.71 per month rent for
one of the company's houses.''
j. B. Pierson. resident of Pullman,
was questioned as to the relative price
of rents. He stated that the Pullman
company's houses averaged from one
third to one-half higher than similar
houses in the surrounding suburbs.
Pierson said that in the residence dis
tricts about Pullman rents had been
materially reduced lately, but that no
reduction had been made in the manu-
featuring town.
Miss Jane Adams, superintendent of
the Hull House Charitable work, and a
member of the board of Cancellation of
the civic federation, was the next wit
ness. She said that during her investi-
cations of the strike, she had found the
strikers always ready to arbitrate. Int
that the Pullman officials did not appear
disposed to make any effort towards
settlement. Miss Adams also declared
that the rents in Pullman were higher
than in other localities.

lNvESTl CATION or THE CONDITION.
OF THE EMPLOYEES

Now Being Pushed by the Presidential
Commission-Wages Cut 60 Per Cent
and Nothing Left to Live ON After Pull
man Got His Share.
CHICAGO, Aug. Chairman Heath
cote of the Pullman strike committee
was before the strike commissioners
during the afternoon session. He
showed table of the Pullman wages,
and claimed that wages had been cut 60
per cent in the last two years. He also
exhibited what he claimed was black
list issued by the Pullman officials, re-
questing other institutions to refuse to
thereon.
Miss Jennie Curtis, president of the
girls union at Pullman, testified in the
afternoon. Her father had been in the
employ of the Pullman company for Is
years, until shortly before his death last
year. He was delinquent in his rent to
the amount of $50. The company COM
PEELED her to assume the debt and sign a
contract to pay it out Of her wages at
the rate of So week. Some weeks she
had so little left from her wages
That She Could Not Pay Board.
In 1898 the company was paying it's
girls 2211a cents an hour for sewing, and
the poorest seamstress earned 81 so a
day. Before the strike the best of them
had got down to 20 or 80 cents day,
while the poorer needlewomen could
make only ~ to 30 cents.
Theodore Rhode, representing the
painters department., followed Miss
Curtis. He had worked for the COM
pany Is years and had been gradually
cut down until he could not make 81 20
a day. Foremen abused the men and
the management experimental with the
wages until pieceworkers could make
nothing. He had not applied for work
since the strike because the company
compelled every man to surrender his
card of membership in the Railway
union and sign an agreement to have
nothing to do with any labor organize
ton for five years.
Sixty-eight Cents, Day.
R. w. Combes of the freight car
shops had been in the employ of the
company for 10 years. Where men in
that department We're able to earn 81. rs
a day, piece work, they were not able to
make more than 6S cents day in
March Of this year. Between 1888 and
1898 there had been no reductions, but
in November of 1898 came cut that
made difference of So in a freight car
to the man who built it, and IS of this
fell on the car carpenter. The
witness said he had So so left from his
February wages after he had paid his
rent, and with the $3.50 he was ex-
pected to support wife and two chill
dren.
