FOR A LIVING WAGE.
The Plea of the Striking Great
Northern Car Men.
THEY APPEAL TO THE CHAMBER.
A Petition Stating Their Case, Followed
by Moving Speech-Ths Rams
Horn Compromise.

The Chamber Of Commerce trustees
were chiefly occupied at their meeting
yesterday afternoon in hearing the plea OF
the car cleaners and car repairers
who recently quit work on the Great
Northern railroad, against the re-
duc,ion of wages which caused them to
strike. W. 2. C. Adams. secretary OF the
American Railway Union in this city, and
their spokesman. presented petition on
behalf of the employees of the car depart.
ment, addressed TO the chamber under
date of March 8.
The petition states that last August.
when the signers were receiving the
standard wages cut of Is TO 30 per cent.
was made. They say that the standard
wages then were. from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific coast:
Gear inspector, 81. so per day. thirty days
per month.
'Car repairers. 81 IS Der day. thirty days
per month.
Gar cleaner, 50 for seepers.
Gar cleaner. 81. IS for day coaches.
"Laborer, $l..5 per day"
Owing to the decrease in earnings of the
road and the general depression In ousi-
ness. they accepted the cut without COM
IL,
made TO the following rates:
Gar inspector, extra TO <45 per month.
Common car INSPECTOR, $40 per month.
"Car repairers, $50 per month.
Gar cleaners. 81 per day..
Car cleaners are required to be on hand
at any time they may be neeued, get no
overtime. but are docked day when
train is ten or twelve hours late. These
men are all men Of family, citizens, voters
and taxpayers. The petition states that
the last reduction places their earnings
below the requirements of Cinnamon and
deprives business men Of patron
age they would gladly give.
With health and constant en-
ployment, they might supply Their frugal
wants. bu, could save nothing against
misfortune or old age, or to buy
home. Such wages might be enough
for an unmarried wanderer, and
it was such men, or men who pre-.
ferred slavery to crime, who had taken
their places. tor such wages were slavery.
All they asked was u return to the rates
prevailing prior to March I. Then follows
an appeal TO the Seattle spirit, the rule to
stand together which has made this city
famous the country over, declaration
that the wage-earners have displayed II
and a request to the chamber and EACH
member TO interest themselves in their
behalf. The signatures are:
y. II. McManus. John Wagner, Fred
Horst, Edward Walker, Henry Clark, Gus
keske. Ellwood P.ummer. Paul Wrick,
l.. h. Woodruff and others"
He then read an address to the trustees
which summed up the case of the men in
simple but eloquent language which would
have enforced respectable hearing from
far less willing audience than he
had. In opening be appealed to the Sc
attic spirit and said if she had the courage.

have been in vain.

The Model Husband.

the Ladies' Home Journal to tell
what they thought husband ought

The ideas Of these women are in
teresting OF course, but none OF them
seemed to realize that nine husbands
out of ten are just what their wives
make them. 1t is quite as easy to
mar as to make a husband who Is
naturally what the ideal husband
ought to be. The most thoughtful
and atTectonate husband will cease

Guarded by a Faithrul Dog.

A story showing the care and faith
fulness Of dog comes from New ,er-
sey. James Dali, of Stockton, with
h s-year-old boy and big dog, was
walking in the country Sunday when
Mr.. Dale stopped at aneighbor's, leav-
ing the boy and dog outside. When
he returned the boy and dog were miss
ing, nor could either be found, though
a search was kept up all that night;
In the morning word was received
from Wi liam Burd, living ten miles
away, that both had been found. Mr..
Burd discovered the lit child asleep
by the roadside, vile the dog kept
guard over him. The dog won d not
allow any one to come near his charge
and only deserted him when over
powered by numb rs. How the two
could have wandered such distance is
mystery.

A STRANGE FRIENDSHIP.
A Would-be Murderer and His Victim
Become Strong Allies.

A Would-be Murderer and His Victim
Become Strong Allies.
One of Chicago's most successful and
wealthy spectators, William Sturges,
Is lying at the door of death. He has
been fortunate in most of his ventures,
but there was one failure he met with
of company with which he was con-
nected early in his career. One of the
strongest friendships he ever owned
resulted from this failure, and the man
who shared it was creditor who came
to murder Mr.. Sturges in return for
deposit of 81 500 which the company
had used. He was alone in the office
during an evening when shutting steps
stopped at the doc and lusty knock
announced o muscular presence Just
outside. 1t was circumstance to
make an ordinary man tremble, but
Mr.. Sturges never would admit he had
ever trembled in his life. He walked
to the door and asked in siA-foot
stranger.
The tall stranger was giant whose
figure was as wide as his muscles were
large in circumference and without
any hesitation he announced his bust
ness. AS u preface he walked to the
desk and deposited two revolvers. He
then took chair in front of the direc-
tor and said:
at will be necessary for you to get
my 81, 900 at once. 1t represents all
my savings, The money came by hard
work and the failure is queer.
well, you are candid. | don't blame
you for asking for your money. | would
like to see 81, 500 myself but" and
here Mr.. Stu ges was compelled to
stop his explanation. The stranger did
not like the tone of the reply and
reached for his weapons,
We'll, sir, since you have ruined me
and left me penniless there is little to
live for. | will shoot you here in the
Office and suffer the consequences,
and both revolvers were cooked for ac-
tion.
"You are just the man | have been
looking for. Night after night as [
worried over these affairs | have
longed to die. | should have killed
myself but for the lack of courage;
fire away" And the banker stood up
and barred his bosom for the bullets.
He did not mean the speech as any
dramatic episode, but as earnest truth.

shot; were not fired, and that the
stranger was convinced there was no

letters the words; "Monte Carlo-try

Of the proprietor. Any guest having
any complaint to make about alleged
unfair play, discourteous treatment
on the part Of an attendant or dis
comfort due to the management Of
the house, goes to this office and states
her grievance. The woman in the
Office is known as Madam Hart. She
listens patiently to all complaints,
and if the house is in the wrong the
matter is speedily set right. IT the
guest is wrong Madam Hart never
fails to promptly tell her so.
Appearance of the Dealers.
All the dealers in charge of the
tables are dressed alike, Their
gowns resemble in many respects the
dresses Of the colored servants, They
wear nothing on their heads, how
ever Their gowns are Of plain black
without pockets. The sleeves are
tight-fltting and extend only to the
elbows. The forearms and hands are
bare. The gowns button in the back
and are severely plain in front. This
does away with any opportunity to
