THEY HAVE ANOTHER GRIEVANCE.
They DO Not Approve of the Com pany's
Tax for Hospital Service.


Tax for Hospital Service.
Among these are cited +. f.. Gilliland
and +. II. Dresback. The telegraphers
have another grievance which will be
brought t. the attention of the court in "a
petition which will be filed today. 1t has
been the custom on the Union Pacific for
IA long time to deduct from the pay of each
man on the system the sum of 40 cents per
month for the maintenance of hospitals on
the system. The telegraphers aliege that
they receive no benefit from the hospitals
except in cases of those who reside at the
places where they are maintained. They
complain that they are not given any
accounting of the expenditure of the
money collected for this purpose from the
the men, which, they allege, amounts TO
100000 per year.
They say that if they must pay they are
entitled to know what becomes of the
money. They will also allege in the petit
ton that ut the present time the Union
Pacific does not maintain any hospitals,
simply having the use of a small number
of cots in hospitals conducted by private
parties or associations, and that the ex-
pense attached thereto Is not sufficient to
warrant the collection of the amount of
money that is at present taken from the
employees

The number of persons driven insane by
tie heat will probably never be known,
It's effects in that direction may be es-

week tweuty-eight persons have been
locked up in the detention hospital, all of
whom had been driven crazy by the heat.
There are about 500 dead horses still un-
removed on the streets, the city being I'M
able To secure sufficient assistance TO cart
as many away daily as succumb To the
heat The mayor has issued an order
guaranteeing 80 10 any one who will re-
move one of the dead beasts.
Among the deaths by the heat are the
following: Sidney Burthill Ernest Doe,
- Nelson, Charles Churchill, Ethel Mary
