the question Of the brotherhood Of man. IRE
unions should widen their horizon and pay
more attention TO the welfare Of their fell
low workmen. The day would com when
labor unions, like fraternal societies, would
have to provide pensions for those who lad
become through age OF other causes unable
to work.
Advantages Of Organization.
Hon. Emmett FINLEY was the next speaker
and took as his subject Advantages Of Or
ganized Labor" Labor unions, he said.
we're the outgrowth Of necessity. Work ng
men in this race Of life had to face COM
binations Of capital and this brought about
the necessity OF labor unions. To be sue
cessful the union OF labor must be as strong
and loyal as the union Of capital. II not
II would not be effective. The purpose Of
the labor unions, however, should not be
for the sole purpose of maintaining wages.
They should to a great extent be for the
benefit OF the families, they should strive
to teach their Members to give their fam
lilies greater opportunities by education.
The unions also teach that children should
be in the nursery of the schoolroom and
not in the sweatshops. The organization
Of labor means happier homes. greater COM
forts for the laboring man, greater intelli-
gence among the working classes and con-
sequentiy the development of stronger men
and women, physically, mentally and NOR
ally. The real leaders Of labor today are
not the loud tongued blatherskite or the
demagogue, but men with brains and in con-
sequence labor through it's leaders was able
to take the rank which 1t is entitled to.
Postmaster Hazelton spoke on Labor
Legislation" The first requirement Of
lNhorfy he g6Id unusk ~ ,ho 100000 o..
law and a willingness to be governed. Some
people from their early surroundings and
teachings we're opposed to any form Of
government and formed a dangerous and
undesirable element. They should be hrst
taught that the government is in reality
their friend. The first requisite for a good
government Is that a man should be willing
to be governed. No government by direct
legislation can make any set of men rich
or happy, the laws must be such as fall
equally upon the big and the small, upon
the rich and the poor. such as to give
every man an equal chance for his liveli-
hood. Legislation other than this would
be class legislation. The making Of gen.
eral laws Is all that a government ought
to do. Referring to the question Of strikes
he said that among union labor there should
be no room for mob law or anarchy. Union
men were more vitality interested than any
other class in downing anarchy.
The speaking was brought to a close by a
short talk by Rev. Henry belong, who
told Of the labor conditions in Council Bluffs
in the early hfties.
Following the exercises the program Of
sports was carried out. The automobile race
which had promised to be a feature of the
program, had to be called off for lack oil
entries, Besides the sports there were
various form of amusement for the crowd,
including a platform for dancing, which
was we'll patronized.

SIOUX CITY. Ia. Sept. Especial Tel
egram.)-The significant statement was
given out by Manager James H. Hale OF
the Cudahy Packing company that the
plant would be improved here to the
amount OF $500. 900. The statement is re-
garded as more than usually significant
from the fact that no inventory looking
TO a merger is contemplated. Armour q
Co. will probably make similar improve
ments. The cattle killing capacity OF the
plant will be enlarged to 1000 cattle and
the hog killing capacity to 1000. The
beef house and the cold storage capacity
will be greatly enlarged.

COUNCIL OPENS PAVING BIDS
Letting of Contract Deferred Until
City Engineer Has Tabu-
lated Them.

Contrary to custom the city council failed
to adjourn last night on account OF it
being Labor day, but held a session at
which little else but routine business was
transacted. .
Bids for the paving Of Pierce street from
Oak street to North avenue were received
from James Wickham Of this city, and Nc
Gorrisk & Co., OF Des Moines. The street
is to be paved with one course of brick on
concrete base. The bids, which were re-
ferred to the city engineer for tabulation,
are as follows: Wickham. Galesburg brick
OF block. s1.s9; Des Moines brick, 1884;
Boone brick, s1.s7h, These, are cash fig
uFes. 5 per cent to be added for certificates.
McGorrisk & Co, Galesburg brick, 1913;
Springfield brick, s1.93; Des Moines brick,
$1.s0. These figures are for cash with 8
per cent to be added for certificates.
Alderman Casper, who is anxious that the
street be paved as speedily as possible.
urged tina the contract be awarded to
Wickham. his being the lowest bid, but the
other aldermen preferred to first refer the
bids to the city engineer.
The pay roll for the streets and alleys
department for August, amounting to
tssf.o4. lacked the approving signature Of
Alderman Lougee and was laid over until
the next meeting. Alderman Lougee ex-
planned that he had declined to o. X. the
pay roll for the reason that he had not been
acting as chairman the greater part of the
month. He offered to investigate 1t and
report at the next meeting.
Former Street Supervisor Taylor pre-
sented a report showing that S25 poll taxes
had been worked out during the months
of April to August inclusive, The report
was not deemed sufficiently explicit and
was referred to a special committee con-
sisting Of Aldermen Huber and FINLEY.
Sam Dobson, ex-city garbage master,
presented a bill OF s16,15 for hauling dead
animals. which was rejected as being ex-
~cessive. One OF the items was for hauling
seventeen dead rats. Dobson's contract with
the city has expired.

some Unique Features.

Following the labor unions came the auto
mobiles, making their first appearance In a
public parade in this city. Then came the
portion OF the parade which appealed to the
young. This was the long line of features
from the Elk carnival and street fair.
Heading this section came the troupes OF
performers in the Streets OF India and Cairo
In carriages and on camels. Behind them
were floats bearing the prizes TO be dis.
tributed at the fair and these alone con.
stituted quite q show. The "Kentry stor''
wagon with several Elks disguised IS rcu-
hens created lots OF amusement along the
line Of march, as did several clowns on DON
keys, which for the occasion had had their
ears transformed into Rntlers. Behind this
section came the fire department with its
apparatus gaily decked in the Elks colors,
the rear Of the column being brought up by
floats bearing displays OF business houses.
The streets we're crowded all along the
line Of march and all day the city was
thronged with visitors from surrounding
towns, who took advantage OF the ono-fare
for the round trip rate offered by the rail-
roads for carnival week.
The exercises at the Driving park began
at 2 O'Clock and by this time fully 5000 pso-
pie were assembled there. When Mayor
Morgan called upon Rev. Henry belong to
deliver a prayer before the speaking evory

FIRE AND WATER IN RICHMOND


James river came even higher than
was expected Monday night, and thous-
ands OF busy people who arise to get
early breakfast found themselves yes
terday without light, the water having
surrounded the gas works and cut of the
supply. 1t rosestesdil y until the high
est known records were closely APP

would be down by morning had to be

about 800 families were driven from
their houses. The river came up
steadily ustil % feet was reached, and
much valuable property inundated and
damaged. From Fifteenth street to
half way of the block beyond Seven

several feet Of water. Throughout the
dsy feet of small boats ferrled pas
sengers from one side to the other for a
nickel head, or from either end to the
steps of the new Union Depot, which
was the center point OF the food, and
thousands OF people filed the streets at
either end watching the novel sight.
Fire has been added to water and dark
ness, and the big storage and supply
establishment OF Warren Moore q Co.,
standing next to the Trigg yards, be-
tween the canal aud river, was almost
totally destroyed. The water, which
slaked large quantity OF lime and set
the house on FIRE, also prevented the fire.

was spent fighting 1t with two long
lines of hose stretched over submerged
cars and housetops. A mill stored with
meal, grim and feedstufs comprised
part of the burned plant.
The loss will reach any where from
$25 900 to $4,000, mostly insured.
The water yesterday reached the
floor OF Msyo's Bridge. which carries
the largest part OF the traffic between
Manchester and Richmond, and it was
closed by the police. Busir ess is

Fulton, the large eastern suburb, where
live a large portion of the working
classes, is cut off entirely from the
other part Of the city, except by boat,
and the water reaches nearly to the
trolley wires in the connecting
