The Price of Beef.

"The price of beef Is always
higher at this time OF the year."
said Henry Limburger, the Austin
street butcher, to a reporter for the
LIGHT yesterday afternoon. "The
cause Of this is the scarcity Of good
cattle, and if we want good cattle
We'll have to pay more money than
for bad, as everybody ought to
know. You or l, or anybody else,
would rather pay little more and
get good meat, wouldn't you. 1t is
just like going to a tailor for a suit
Of clothes. He can make one for
SIS, but can make a much better
one for $50. OF course, higher
prices on beef would hurt the
smaller shops, but by this the peo-
pie will have their meat and will
be better thing all around"

They Want to Know.

To the Daily LIGHT:
The San Antonio Labor associa-
ton would like to know why the
Waterworks company, the Gas
company and the Telephone COM
pany are required or do use heavy
hammers to lamp up all bitches
and holes they dig in the streets
and the sewer contractors dig their
trenches much deeper and do no
camping whatever; and why is it
that all these companies use home
labor and are under no obligations
Except morally so to do, and the
sewer contractors are obligated to
do so by their contract, and also
morally, if they have any such
qualities, and they do not
do it if they can avoid
it; and again, if these COM
panies can find brick masons in
San Antonio to do their work why
does not our Hon. Mayor and Coun-
Gil force the sever contractors to
do the same. We believe and know
it is all rot to say the sewer con-
tractors cannot get men here who
can do any Of this work with credit
to himself and the contractor, and
the city, Notwithstanding Mr.. Pan
coast had to notify Mr.. Merriman,
who was in Fort Worth at the
time, to come at once, as therel
were not men enough in San Anto.
MO to act as sewer inspectors.
This is an insult to hisown home!
and birthplace.

A SEWER KICK.

AZ bhN NiNAHNle vi cdu HuLuulOs
We, the committee of the San
Antonio Labor Protective associa-
ton, OF San Antonio, Texas, would
respectfully call your attention to
the fact that the City Of San An
tonic is now constructing a sewer
age system, which will either add
to or destroy its already estab-
lished popularity as a health re-
sort. We consider this one OF the
most important questions that has
ever presented itself to the proper
ty-hOlders and well-wishers OF this
city, and we urge every man who
has any interest in the future
growth and development Of this
city to stop and consider the ques-
ton seriously. Suppose, as we have
already charged, that the con-
struction has been imperfect thus
far, and it should go on. What
might we expect but to have cpl
denies of various kinds, such as
would be produced by the gases
escaping from the pipes at bad
points and other imperfect con-
structioD. All the charges we have
made and more can and will be
substantiated, and we have made
these charges, not with any per-
sonal feeling against any one or
for the interest Of any political
party or clique, but in the interest
of San Antonio and her people,
especially in the interest of the
working people,, as they are less
able "to care for themselves" in
cases Of epidemics, than any
other class. That the construc-
ton OF the sewer system
thus far has been badly
done no one will deny when they
are made acquainted with the
facts, and we honestly believe
when Mr.. Gray, the consulting
engenerr,a man of experience in this
work and who has a reputation
above reproach, knows the facts he
will coincide with us, and believe
ing 80 strongly that we are right
in our actions, we propose to go to
the bottom of the whole matter
and we believe that the good peo-
pie OF San Antonio will appreciate
our work in endeavoring to have
the sewerage system constructed in
safe, substantial and perfect
manner, and it is our wish that
San Antonio may be known as a
city with the best sewerage syste m
in the United States and the
healthiest and most beau tiful city
on the globe, and we would further
call your attention TO the fact that
the contractor has and is violating
his contract-we might say in toto,
but our interest prompts us to call
your attention more directly to
that part where he agrees to en-
ploy San Antonio labor. Now, I'M
der the contract he is required to
use San Antonio labor and he is
not doing so when he can avoid it..
We are entitled to the work and
we believe you will help us to force
him to live up to his agreement in
this respect as well as in others, or
give it up and let men have it that
can and will live up to their con-
tract. They can be found in San
Antonio, and we believe it
would be better to pay more and
get system that will do the work
than to have a bad one for nothing,
and we pray that in the end all
parties interested will be largely
benefited, and San Antonio hold
its laurels as a health resort. Re-
spectfully, G. G. Braden, f. w.
Gray, f. Phillips, G. Brandt, H.
Halbardier, B.J. Young, G. Bennett,

tee.
