The country people are making
big fuss about the roads which are in
a horrible condition. Until a wiser
plan of working our thoroughfares is
adopted no better condition can pre-
vail during fall weather. Every cent
that is expended, or at least the great
er part Of the expenditures put on the
roads under our present system is lost
Modern and scientific methods must
be put into use or not permanent i'm
prOvement can ever be expected in
our highways.
AN important case has been deci-
ded in Chicago which goes to the
legality of the practice of corpora
tions, particularly railroad corpora
tions, blacklisting their discharged
employees. One Ketcham, in the en-
ploy of the Northwestern Railroad
Company, engaged in the Debs strike
and attended the meetings of the
American Railway Union. For this
he was discharged, put on the black
list, and thus prevented from getting
employment. He obtained several
positions, but was regularly dischar-
ged, and because his name was on the
UldChI1SU- I1G HlONGu from chicago
and got work at other places, but the
blacklist followed him, and he was
again discharged. The blacklist
seemed to leave him no alternative
but to beg, steal or starve. He tried
the plan, however, of suing the rail
road company, and appears to have
been very fortunate in securing the
nended testimony, for the jury in the
Uelted Statds court yesterday rem
dered verdict in favor of Mr.
Ketcham for $21 500 33. The amount
sued for was $25, 900. Blacklisting,
it appears from this, is costly lux
ury, and will probably drop out of
corporation favor.
