there was q strike, the men who lad
charge of the concern were as interested |
as were the laborers, but when it is a
part of the great starch trust, managed
by paid men in the employ of the head
Office, who have no interest whatever in
the men, they can close down the factory
and the laborer is helpless because the
trust can do it's work elsewhere after it
has frozen out the laborers here. This
attempt to form starch trust and EN-
body your factory in that trust is simply
an attempt to transfer the management
to New York, and therefore it's wishes
will have no effect. You people who
live here are more interested in destroy
ing this starch trust than the people
who live in other parts Of the state.
You men who are working in that
factory, would you not rather work for
men in this city, men who have your
interests at heart than for those who
are agents of the New York office, whom
you never saw and who have no interest
in you? Is not Smyth fighting your
battles instead of his own when he tries
to bring the control of that factory back
to Nebraska City,"

producing rendition of this touching
ballot talk were in

to hear that the
one, who thus warned his countrymen
of the dangers to community of har-
boring industrial plants whose owners
had money invested in similar plants
elsewhere, had let the contract for print
ing his paper to the Western Newspaper
Union, a large, soulless, unfeeling,
unsympathetic corporation, the head
Office of which is in Chicago, that owns
and operates printing plants in Chicago,
Omaha Kansas City Denver, Lincoln, and
at various other points throughout the
country. If the orators philosophy is
correct it should apply to printing as
well as starchmaking. If it is inimical
to the interests of community, and
particularly to workers, for a
company with head Office in New
York, to operate a starch plant at Ne
braska City it is no less antagonistic to the
public welfare for company, with a
head Office at Chicago, to operate print
ing plant at Lincoln, Nebraska. Are not
the security Of employment and wages
of the starch makers and printers alike
imperiled? Touse his own words, in the
case of print shop that is owned by
the people of Lincoln, eff there was a
strike, the men in charge of the concern
would be as interested as were the
laborers." "When the printing shop is
part of great trust, managed by paid

lamity, in a speech
IMITATION.

lamity, in a speech
at Nebraska City during the presidential
campaign, insisted that corporation
should not be over-capitalized. "The
farmer" he said, Sin this county cannot
initiate the value of his land or of his
personal property; the merchant cannot
initiate the value of his goods upon his
shelf, but these monopolies can water
their stock and then collect dividends
upon capital never invested"
When this speech was made the orator
was without experience in business
affairs. He had never managed
dividend-paying enterprise. Recently,
however, he embarked in business
venture and founded "more common
periodical than his fellow citizens had
previously known. To the student of
industrial problems this thought pro-
moter is of peculiar interest as it affords
practical illustration of the manner in
which it's distinguished director would
apply his theories of industrial control.
1t is reported by the friends of this
newspaper prodigy that his paper will
net him at least $4,000 per year. This
is equivalent to dividend of per cent
upon an investment of 81 100000. But
this novitiate in the financial world has
not one dollar invested in printing
plant or what is economically known as
fixed capital His prospective income
of $50, 900 is therefore dividend solely
and exclusively upon watered, or more
properly, inflated stock. How does this
proposition appeal to our bucolic
readers?
A few years ago this Russell Sage Of

then our esteemed contemporary is

Not six months ago he was vehemently
decrying monopolies and earnestly pro-
claiming that if he were only given a
chance he would not permit a single
monopoly to remain under private con-
troll. 1t is reminder of the Inconsistency
Of human kind that this man, the crown
,'rusher and cross-destroyer, should now
place himself at the head of cruel,
crushing, grinding monopoly, that
will take $5O, 900 per year from his plain
countrymen.

Steel Strike On

Pittsburg, Aug 1.-THE great steel
strike is on The general order OF Pres
idcnt Shaffer of the Amalgamated asso
citation became effective today Thou
sands OF workers left their places, to re-
turn at some indefinite time in the future
either victorious over the iron masters
or IN humble defeat. The order to
strike was generally obeyed wherever
the workers we're organized and enrolled
in the lodges OF the Amalgamated asso-
citation, but it will be Monday before an
accurate count csr be made Of the men
who have gone out.
A great majority of the mills close on
Saturday and reopen Sunday night, and
the true test Of the strength OF the con
testing sides will be furnished by the
number OF men who return to work to-
day or Monday.
The policy Of the American Federation
OF Labor has no t been fully disclosed as
yet, and that fact contributed another
element OF uncertainty to the situation.
The action OF the executive board OF
Mine Workers at Indianapolis today in
resolving to support the strike cheer ed
the Amalgamated men, and they are
confident that the Federation will aid
them to the fullest extent.
The closing hours OF labor lacked
spectacular action. This city, which is
the strike center, was calm and undis-
turbed. There was no violence.

CATS SPOIL THE HUNTING.

House Pets Takes to Woods and Destroy
the Game.
The experience of trappers at Hol-
brooks and Eddington ponds, near
Bangor, Me-, during last winter has
demonstrated the fact that the COM
mon house cat will, when turned loose
in the woods, and left to its own re-
sources, become as wild an the course
OF month or two as any bobcat, says
the New York Times 1t is the custom
OF cottage owners at the ponds to take
cats to their places on the spring to
drive out the mice that take posses
sion of the cottages during the winter
and in the fall, when the cottagers re-
turn to town, these cats are usually
forgotten and left to shift for them
selves. Trappers who returned from
the ponds reported that their season
had been failure because the wild
house cats had robbed the traps, tear
Ing into shreds the mink and muskrats
that were daily caught and feasting
on their flesh. Every morning
around the traps the hunters found
evidences Of feasting by the cats and
Of fierce battles between the cats and
animals caught in the traps. Recently
dozen Of the wild cats have been
shot, but the woods are full of them,
and SO long as they remain there will
be no profit in trapping.

An unIucky party was given lately,
the invitations to which were for Fri
day. the thirteenth day of the month.
In one corner of each invitation was
the request that each guest be prepared
70 tell the story of the most unlucRy
incident in his or her life The num-
per OF invitations was limited to twice
thirteen, and the refreshments we're
! served at two tables, thirteen being

On the evening of the party the
suests We're obliged to pass under a
ladder on the way to the dressing rooms
upstairs. A small placard was attached
10 the ladder, announcing the fact of
us being unlucky to pass beneath a
Iadder, but also providing a way of
escape from all evil consequences This
particular charm was to whistle while
going under the ladder. The attempts
at Whlstilng on the part of the ladies
were amusing to all.
On the stairway was another sign, to
the erect that IL was unlucky to pass
any one on the stairs, but evil might
be averted by shaking hands. Another
notice said il was uniucky to STUN BILE
gong upstairs, as the stumbler would
not be married that year, but if desir-

ing not 10 nave Two people looking in

it happen that they did, bad conse-
quences would not follow if they smiled
at each other.
Between the two parlors a mop handle
was laid, for any girl who would step
over mop handle would never be mar
ried. but the sign which hung nearby
told such unfoTtUnates to say that they
did not care, as the best way to get
out of the difficulty.
After the guests were assembled the
story telling began. The stories ranged
all the way from the misfortune of be-
ing born twins to the thrilling tale of
runaway, from the effects of which
three people viii never entirely re-
cover.
The serving of the refreshments fol-
lowed the story telling In the dining
room salt spilling was INDUCED in to
provoke quarrels. Three people of the
same first name were seated together,
as i'll luck is supposed TO follow from
such action.
On returning from the dining room
each guest was given a slip of paper
and pencil, with which to vote for the
one who told of the most unlucky incl
dent of all. To the one winning the
most votes a prize was given, consist
ing of a little chatelaine arrangement
of a fOur-leaf clover pin, with a rabbit 5
foot and a. horseshoe attached.
On leaving the guests We're hidden to
walk down the back stairway and go
out bysa different door from that which
they had entered. which, of course, was
considered an unIuclzy thing to do, but
in the doorway was suspended a horse
shoe, which was supposed to undo the
evil that had been incurred.
