That Uniontown Trunk Line.

Our friend Anderson In last Sunday s
issue of Tho Argus" feels aggrieved
that we should not jump into his band
wagon and whoop 1t mp for the "Grand

& Produce r. r. - Really, Bro. Ander-
son, we would like to have given you a
boost in this glittering prospect but we
had fears that the fool killer might be
lurking in the woodshed, and being of
young and tender age did not care to be-
come victim at this stage of the game.
Bro. Anderson states that we show
opposition by ridicule, such is mistake,
for opposition Is not needed. To man
without hobby the idea of building a
railroad to Uniontown Is so ridiculous
as to give him case OF the "dry

BECOMING DESPERATE.

The Chicago contractors must be
in desperate straits in their contest
with the Building Trades Council
when they resort to calumny and
falsehood. Last week dispatch
was sent out through the news
agency to all newspapers that the
Chicago Bricklayers' Union had
given up the strike, withdrawn
from the Building Trades Council
and signed an agreement with the
contractors. in which they are to
allow the contractors to fix the
hours Of labor, amount of wages,
number of apprentices, employ
whom they please, The foreman's

line with court decisions, but the
Council followed the opinion of the
City Attorney to the contrary. The
City Attorneys opinions, like his
politics, are of a chameleon hue,
and have been generally reversed
by the courts, whose decisions go.
Besides the City Attorney, who now
claims to be a Republican, is a can
didate for reelection by the Coun-
Gil, and the election will occur before
the courts can reverse his opinion
on the police muddle, and place the
Council where they have thus far
been placed by every court decision
on the police question-with def
cheney to make up and court costs
to pay. Whether the Council re-
elect the City Attorney or not, they
had better let up on the ECONOMY"
fake, or they will find themselves
at the next election on the road to
Salt river, as have all their prede-
cessors, regardless of politics. Cheap
screw fnanciering doesn't suit the
Louisville people. They want more
mot less-police and firemen.
Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1900-07-07
ECONOMY"
ciated.

The Council, under advice OF the
City Attorney, passed the supple
mentary appropriation ordinance,
depriving the Police Department OF
$4,000 derived from back taxes,
despite the Mayors veto. The
issue will likely go to the courts,
with the probability of decision
against the Council. In the mean
time the public will be deprived OF
that much police service for which
they have paid, and have added the
costs of litigation. Economy is
proper, but when it is carried to
the extent of depriving the people
of that for which they pay taxes it
is carried too far. The people pay
taxes for police protection and other
facilities and conveniences and are
entitled to what they pay for. They
do not pay taxes this year to have
them boarded to reduce taxes next
year, in the meantime being de-
prived of what they pay for, and at
the first opportunity they will say
SO by their votes, as they have done
before. Every city official who has
pursued the economy" course that
the Council is following has been
retired to private life, and instead
of reducing taxes has necessitated q
burdensome increase to repair the
wear and tear of their economy
policy. The people want low taxes
of course. but they want what they
pay for. They would rather pay
8r.84 on the $roo and get what
they pay for than $3.50 on the $Ioe
and get nothing. The Mayor svete
was based upon legal grounds il

OUR SECOND ANNIVERSARY.

The Kentucky Irish American
points with pride to the fact that with
this issue it celebrates its second
anniversary, free from entangling
alliances, and with constantly in
creasing subscription list. When
this paper was started two years
ago, under adverse circumstances,
its editor and proprietor promised
that it would be devoted to the best
interests of the Irish-Americans of
Louisville and Kentucky, without
regard to politics or irrelevant sub
jects tending toward clannish ideas.
How we'll this promise has been
kept we leave to our readers. Suf-
fee to say the editor of this paper
has been importuned from time to
time to take sides for this political
party and for that, for this side of
Irish affairs or for that. He has
uniformly tried to be fair to all in
terests Notwithstanding at times his
taking sides might have enhanced
his financial standing for the time
being.
The Kentucky Irish American
today is on a firm footing and its
constituency is constantly increas-
ing. For this we feel gratified to
our friends and patrons. 1t has
been an uphill work to establish a
newspaper of this kind in Louis
vile. No one knows this better
than we do. But now with the
support of the clergy and every
leading Irish-American in Louis
vile, we hope to make the paper
better aud more influential in the
cause than it has ever been before.
Thanking our friends for their
kind expressions of confidence, we
start out on the third year encour-
aged and fortified for the future,
feeling that our efforts are appre-
ciated.

SETTLED.


The St. Louis street car strike is
at last settled as far as it is possible
to settle it under the circumstances.
The railway officials at last agreed
to recognize and confer with COM
mittee from the Street Railway EN-
ployes' Union. An agreement was
finally arranged and mutually ac-
cepted. There is to be no discrimi-
nation against the union, employees
are to be free to join the union, and
no official is to be allowed to inter
fere with the right of employees to
Join or remain members of the
union, and all differences are to be
arbitrated. The union agrees to
the retention of such non- union en-
ployes as the company desires to
retain, but all future employees are
to be union men. The company
reserves the right to refuse employ
ment to any union man guilty of
violence during the strike, and will
not employ or retain in its employ
any one guilty Of violence toward
strikers during the strike. The
trouble is ended, though it may be
months before the affairs of the
company are again in good running
order and the old employees rein
stated. Had the railway officials
agreed to receive a committee and
arbitrate differences, as it has at
last done, at first. there would have
been no strike, disturbance of bust
ness, public peace, loss of life, de-
struction of property, waste of
thousands of dollars to the company
and the entire city and State. But
it sometimes requires narrowing
experience to overcome stubborn
ness in men not classed as ignorant
and prejudiced, but ranked as in
telligent and models of business
sense and shrewdness. The lesson
the St. Louis Transit Company
learned was a costly one, and will
no doubt be their last of the kind,
as they will, if faithful to their
agreement, soon find that the best
way is the just way and always
easiest, most pleasant and profitable
to them and their employees as well.

The Chief of Police, at request of
people who drive spirited horses"
prohibited the shooting of fireworks
before the Fourth and detailed po-
lice in citizens clothes to enforce
the order. The good will of the
people who drive spirited horses"
may be desirable, but it is as naught
when pitted against the ill-will of
Young America, who will vote some
day; besides, some of those people
who drive spirited horses" should
be reminded that the race track,
and not the public highway, is the
proper place to enjoy themselves.
There is an ordinance against fast
driving, almost a dead letter, that
might be resurrected and enforced
with far more satisfaction to the
public than interfering with the
small boys Fourth of July jubila-
ton. Those people who drive
spirited horses" don't own the town
at least not all of it.

orders to be absolute and other mat
ters-there could be no other-to
be arbitrated. Workmen generally
when they read it voted the Chicago
Bricklayers' Union fit subjects for
the weak-minded institution-if the
report was true-as simpler way
would have been to disband the
union and resume work without an
agreement to hamper them. But
the Building Trades Council fol-
lowed up the lie with a specific de-
NAL addressed to labor leaders in
all cities, thus showing the duplicity
of the contractors and defeating
their purpose-to cause workmen
to come to Chicago under the i'm
preston that the strike was over,
and thus gain the advantage of
surplus of workmen to force COM
pliance with their demands. The
strike in Chicago is not over, nor is
it. after the chicanery and treachery
of the contractors, likely to end now
till the contractors throw up the
sponge absolutely. The workmen
have no further, confidence in any
propositions for settlement with
men who have proven they have no
regard for truth or fairness.
