FAIRMONT INDUSTRIAL.


Special to the Register.
Fairmont. W. Va, SepJembr 5.-The
miners Of the FaiTmcnt coal region suf-
fered a Slight reduction in their wages
commencing with the 1St Of September.
The price has been on ths basis of 80
cents a ton for some time, but the opera
tors found it necessary to cut these
prices. as they were obliged to make
sal. on 50 Sigh, a margin.
For the last few weeks work has been
very good and the operators say they
would have had to work half time or
sake these contracts at low prices and
cut the wages. The las, courSs of a GER
tair.y is best for the miners, but they
are. Of course, always hostile to a cut.
The prices were made as follows: for
machine work. Is cents instead OF 20
cents. and for pick work, 81 and 80 c5nts
instead OF 80 and 81. This schedule took
effect a. all places except New England,
'wh re there was no reduction.
At New England about 100 hands are
off. owing 10 the many cases Of typhoid
fever among the miners or their famn-
les. They soy that the company has
been very kind in their affections, as in
many Gases nurses have ben furnished
free of charge. The large majority OF
the cases are now much better, and it
is expected that they viii soon be rid Of
the epidemic. -

evening. which was addressed by Mr..
VIM. j. Bryan, 50 fer as numbers and
enthusiasm were concerned, was
great success. Mr.. Bryan was an
n0unced to begin his address at 8 o.
clock and long before the hour the gal
leries of the theatre and the large aud
itorium was filled with thousands Of
people, unable to gain admittance to the
hail. The stage contained a large num-
Der Of ladies and distinguished citizens.
Mr. Bryan was introduced by eX-Gov-
ernor Peck, Of Wisconsin. as VIM. j.
Bryan, at present OF Nebraska, but later
OF Washington, D. c.. and was extended
a very warm ovation. When silence
was restored Mr.. Bryan spoke as TO-
lows:
| learned early in life that 4 public
officer was but a public servant, and |
INK T. is an idea which We ought al
ways TO bear in mind Il is well for the
officer himself to remember it. and equal
y important for the people 70 remem-
Der il. In oth-r words, a public officer
IS simply a hired man employed at a
fx5d salary iCr certain time TO DO GER
tain work. He s NO. in office merely
because he wants 20 be; his only reason
for being thore ought to be that those
whom he serves want him there. In
othsr words. the officer is merely chosen
by tle people 10 do work which they
mus. have done and thy have no rea-
son for choosing him except that they
believe that he can do chat work for
them. Officers are not elected to think
fcr The people; the p Ople are supposed
70 think for themselves. They arr ask
Cd to act for the people SIMPLY because
the people are SO mum rous that they
cannot act for themselves in these ca
pacires. An officer. | might say, is
necessary evil. It would be better for
the peopls if they could act for them
selves. but that is impossible.
The remainder Of Mr.. Bryan's address
was devoted TO an augmentative and
convincing discussion Of tbs silver ques-

against the Kansas City Live Stock ex-
change. to be certified on from the
court of appeals for review. The
plaintiff sought to enjoin the exchange
from expelling it from that body for
its refusal to pay fine imposed upon
it. In the appellate court it claimed
that that section of the rules of the
exchange giving it authority to assess
fine was unconstitutional 1t was also
charged that the exchange was an
illegal body. The court, in deciding
the case, said that if the exchange was
an illegal organization, as charged,
then member of it had no right to
come into court and ask for relief The
court is satisfied with the decision of
the appellate court and has refused to
hear the case, and, SO far as the courts
of Kansas are concerned, the exchange
can expei the plaintiffs at once.
