ORGANIZING WATERS.


The Local Workers Will Join the
National Union.
Seventy-five walters and mattresses in
indianapolis have filed application for men,
bership in the local union of the Hotel and
Restaurant Walters National Union. Ma
tional Organizer Bauman, of the union, has
been in the city for a week organizing the
walters, and Sunday went to Cincinnati,
where the national headquarters are
located, to get a charter for the local union.
Bauman says conditions of walters in In
dianapolis are worse, than i'm any city of
similar size in the country. He says he ex-
poets to do the same here as was done in
Omaha. He says the wages here are about
So a week or less and So seems to be the
maximum. Besides the low scale the wait
ers are required to be on duty from 4 and
5 o'clock in the morning till 8, 10 and IL
o'clock at night. In Omaha he says con-
ditions were about the same and the union
raised wages from $3.50 a week to $40, and
shortened the hours to ten a day. He SAYS
the union also secured legislation limiting
the hours Of mattresses to sixty a week.
and established a scale of IS. In Indiana he
said he hoped to have like legislation en-
acted and place indianapolis on a level
with Omaha in wages and hours of labor.
The union is opposed to tips, he said. One
this that has brought down wages in this
city he say is that young men and women
who attend school work at meal hours for
their board or for very small wages.

whose misfortunes have outlasted the war,
his heart overfiows with tenderness and
sympathy. We send back to him and all
those who cooperate with him a greeting

JUDGE WILL INVESTIGATE.
Police Magistrate VIII Look Into
Linn's Case.

Before Judge Stubs decides whether he
thinks William/C. Linn guilty of the charge
of larceny placed against him by Detective
Brimm, of the Big Four Railroad, he will
go to Linn's home on Elder avenue and look
at the grain doors Linn is alleged to have
stolen. The judge made this course known
yesterday after hearing of the testimony
in the case, which was postponed from
Thursday. At the first trial, 1t was shown
beyond doubt that Linn did not steal the
several cars of coal alleged by Brimm, nor
the forty bushels of wheat. The presence
of the grain doors in Inns yard is ex-
planned by Linn who said they were given
TO him by railroad men for building stalls
for his coal. At the trial yesterday after
noon nearly all the witnesses testified to
Inns good character. The judge will
make his decision known on Sept. 20.
