MESSENGERS
ARE SATISFIED
Superintendent Springer
Says Western UuiOn
Boys Make Good
Pay.

The local Western Union messenger
boys will not follow the example OF their
Now York and Philadelphia brethern in
going on strike. This information was
given out BY one Of the boys and corrober.
nted by Superintendent Augustus w.
Springer this morning. II appears that
boys Of New York and Philadelphia have
been working on a wage scale OF two
cents per message, and that out CT their
small wages they are compelled to pay the
company 90 cents every week for the use
OF the uniform and 10 cents for a collar.
AS thsse articles, be 1t understood. never
becomes the property Of the boys. 1t IL
clear that their strike Is tho outcome Of
gross imposition on the part Of tho mama
gers.
But no such condition exists In thiscity.
The Western Union boys receive "a cents
for every message carried out OF the office
they buy their uniforms and collars and
mako as high as $40 per month wages
which they are we'll satisfied with.
The messengers In tho employ OF tho
Postal Company are also satisfied. They
make as high as $iS per month.

Pittsburg, July 27.-The Dispatch
prints the forecast of labor organiza-
tion which, if carried through success
fully, promises to be a tremendous
factor In the labor world in this VI
cinity. For some time past secret
work has been carried on for the Or
ganization Of the Poles and Slavs, and
a formidable union has already been
effected. 1t is the intention of the Or
ganization to make demands on Aug.
for the correction of a number of
alleged abuses. The chief grudge of
the foreigners Is against the negro la
Dorers. When 1t is considered that the
unskilled labor about a mill outnum-
bers the skilled labor several times,
and that the big majority of the work
ers are Poles and Slavs. the great
power Of an organization of these
workers can be appreciatped.
