It Pays to BE q Unionist.

Last year there was little or mo Or
ganization among bituminous coal
| miners in Iowa. This year organiza-
ton has been effected by the United
| Mine Workers of America. On April
an agreement was made at Boones-
boro, Iowa, from which the following
paragraphs are taken:
We, the operators and miners of the
Boone district, known as Sub-District
No. 4, of District No. 10, U. M. w. of
A., agree to the following agreement:
First-This agreement is made for
one year. from March 81, 1899. to April
1, 1900.
Second-That 80 cents be paid for
mining lump coal, same to be run over
the screens now in use
Third-Eight hours actual work
shall constitute a days work. The
day wage scale to be based upon nine
hours at the prices prevailing prior to
the date Of this agreement.
Sixth-The mine shall work six days
each week when required by the opera
tors, legal holidays and funerals ex-
cepted.
Mr.. John P. Reese of Boone writes
to the Mine Workers Journal to tell
what the above means. In his letter
he says:
This, in our judgment, Is the great
est victory ever won in Iowa, inasmuch
as the men have only been organized
since April 1, 1899, and the agreement
made on April 4, three days after the
organization was started. Last sum-
mer they, as unorganized men, re-
ceived so cents per ton, ten hours per
day, and the day wage scale was based
on 50 per day when the coal was 80
cents. This summer, by being United
Mine Workers, they will receive 80
cents per ton, nine hours pay for eight
hours work, which will be seen by the
agreement. Needless to say that these
men think the organization is a good
thing. When we arrived here on March
90 there was not an organized miner in
the district. Today we can count them
by the hundreds. These men did not
think the men of this district could be
because they have had
union here before and they broke up,
but you can't tell them this one will
ever break up. Men are beginning to
get their eyes opened"
1t pays to be a soldier in the army
Of organized labor. You get better ra-
lions, bigger pay, more allowances, less
duty. 1t is for each to say for himself
he will march in the army
that contains the cream and gets the
cream: or whether he will train with
the skim-milk crowd on a skim-miIk

by the members of the Legislature, and
have been sacredly observed by Gov.

Federation of Labor reports the pros

to come up will be the state publica-

Cost OF Living In England

Living. in a word, is cheaper for the
English poor than for our own, and
dearer for the well-to-do than in AM
erica, because there are here two stan
dards Of living, says Harper's Bazaar.
The unit OF value for the well-to-do in
England is the sovereign, or the SIS
piece, whereas our American unit of
value in housekeeping is dollar. The
unit value with the English poor is a
sliding standard that runs from a pen
erica it is nickel.
No American Of middle circum-
stances who has made his home in
London will dispute my statement that
it costs more to keep a family there
than 1t does at home. Mems clothing,
wines and liquors, servants, flowers
and a very few minor articles are
cheaper in England, but these advan-
tages are offset by the higher cost Of
all other necessaries. The cheapest
cut Of beef is rs cents pound, butter
is 80 cents a pound, coffee is 40 cents,
strawberries never go lower than or
10 cents basket, and good small fruits
are generally very much dearer.
Peaches are % cents apiece, milk is s
cents a quart, cream is SO cents a
quart, oysters fetch 81 to $1.5O dozen,
bread is about as cheap as at home.
loin of pork is 25 cents a pound, the
cheaper mutton from New Zealand) is
20 cents a pound, and English mutton
fetches cents more. These are all
west end prices, but they are not high
prices. They are the quotations of a
very careful buyer.

Taxing Franchises.

Further light on the law taxing fran
chises in New York gives a still more
satisfactory impression as to it's bene-
fits.
1t appears that under its workings
at least a thousand millions of dollars
worth Of property will be added to the
taxable values Of the state.
For instance, three street railroad
lines and the Consolidated Gas COM
pany in New York city have their val
uation increased from $21, 100000 to
1921 900, 900. The Manhattan company's
valuation increased from $1,700,000 to
S42, 440, 900, and the Consolidated Gas
company from $14, 493, 900 to 500, 242,-
900. Upon a rs per cent assessment
similar to that on real estate the in
crease in the taxable property of the
four corporations named-three street
railway and one gas-wil1 be in round
numbers $166,00O, GOO, taxable at the
general rate of 2.49 mills on the dollar,
and the levy will increase their taxes
from $4,000 paid last year to at least
$5,5O0,000 to be paid this year.
1t has been suggested by an able
Chicago lawyer that the corporations
might have been pleased to have their
franchises rated as real estate, but
when such rating means a tax Of
s20,0OO,O00 year this supposition i
hardly tenable.
It is estimated that the law will add
s15,0G0,OOO annually TO the revenues OF
New York city-"enough,' the World
says, Ito build a new brooklyn bridge
every year, or schools for 10000 Chi
dren, or rapid transit tunnel in less
than three years." By the addition,
to the taxable property OF New Yorh
city the debt limit of the city will be
raised by at least S100 100000.
All this is extremely interest ting to
the people of New York, but this is not
the end of the matter. This increase
in taxable values, if proved to be legal,
will prove a most valuable hint to the
legislatures of other states, and espe-
cially to that of Illinois and conse-
quently to the taxpayers of Chicago.
