LeI There be More Light.

What the people of Shoshone
want is electric lights and water
works. Let the obstructionists j.
any there are stand back and allow
the rays of civilization to penetrate
into their dingy dens. What more
humiliating condition could exist
than to have unfolded before our
very eyes new towns and villages
whose inhabitants were willing to
avail themselves of the natural adj
vantages that we as community
now pass. Yet if we do not appro-
pirate some of our emblements,
there are those who are drifting in
from the great east who will use
them to theiI advantage
Some one should provide electric
lights and water works for the vii
lage of Shoshone and the JOURNAL
will answer all communications
addressed to i on this subject,
with a view of procuring electric
lights and water works for the
town.
To one who has used electric
lights ior lighting purposes there
is nothing picturesque or suggest
i've of usefulness in the appearance
Of an old tin luntern in dust
storm.

Water.

1t has been predicted by those
who have knowledge of such mat
ters that for any company OF
individual who would supply Sho7
shone with a good system of water
works and good water such as can
easily be procured, there would be
a rich reward From time to time
one hears that system of water
works will be furnished Shoshohe
but through few local knockers
the plan does not materialize. II
we. or our boasted capitalists can
not, or will not take this matter,
up, without wanting the earth, the
JOURNAL viii be willing to assist
any one or company OF persons
who desire to place their money
into as good an investment as can
be found anywhere in the west, and
will furnish any information de-
sired on this subject, to those
desiring to look into the matter
and meaning business.

UNION PACIFIC SETTLEMENT.
Wilson Advises Ma
chinists Of the Agreement Made.

Omaha, Neb., June 26.-In an open
letter to the members Of the Machin-
lists Union, Vice President Thomas L..
Wilson states the terms of the agree
ment made with the Union Pacific and
gives instructions to the men who
went on strike. No man is to work at
piece work after his return, and piece
work will be entirely abolished after
Oct. /. All those who are on the
ground at present will be Immediately
re-instated except the helpers. The
non-union men now at work will be
retained by the company, but as they
are inferior workmen it is but a ques-
ton of short time until they will
give way to union men. Those OF the
strikers who have left Omaha and &C
cepted work elsewhere will be notified
by letter when they will be expected
to return. All such men are cautioned
from returning until notified, as the
elimination Of the. non-union men is
expected to be gradual. The machfn-
lists who are at work are expected to
continue paying a per capita to sup
port the union helpers who were moi
re-instated unfit such a. time as worh
can be found for them.

Washington, June 26.-The "postof-

enough, but not near so bad as is try
ing to be made out. What looks to be
the truth in the case is that same Of
the subordinates of the service have
been getting rakeoffs on the supplies
purchased, and have favored bidders
who were not the lowest competitors.
Among the charges are those of ex-
travagant and outrageous rentals for
pneumatic tube service without CORE
spending benefit to the public; giving
the contract for printing money orders
to firm whose bid was $4,000 above
the lowest responsible bidder; selling
appointments and promotions; and

TO STORE ANTHRACITE COAL.

Pottsville Pa, June 19.--The Anthra-
cite coal mining companies are plan-
ming to keep the miners steadily at
work during the dull summer months
and store hard coal in enormous GUAM
titles. More than 100000 tons are
to be accumulated, and this supply is
not to be touched when the fall trade
sets in, but will be. allowed to remain
as a reserve in case of strikes. The
companies will then be able to sup
ply the public with coal for some time
whenever the miners suspend work
and will not be caught unsupplied, as
they were last year.
One-half of the entire amount, or
100000 tons, will be stored by the
Reading Company and work has al
ready begun in enlarging it's storage
yards in this county.

The Drivers Demands.

/ The Drivers Demands.
! At one time when a compromise
was almost completed with the laun-t
dry workers., the = drivers, presented
their demands for an increase in pay.
threw a fit and walled with pain. The
reason of this was that, with his COM
missions, a driver by working early
and late at night might make as much
as $40 week. "This is AWFUL" cried
one of the owners, a driver make $40
a week." It is a horrible thought,
from the owners standpoint, but 1t
is only a thought. From the drivers
standpoint it is a beautiful dream but
only a dream. He could only make
such a. sum by strenuous labor and
great good luck. The driver works
up trade for the laundry and he must
hold it or get new customers, and If
he makes $25 a week he considers
himself in great good fortune.
The members of the owners asso-
citation based their claims for the pub
lies support on the assertion that
they could not afford to pay the in
crease. It was only an assertion;
they never volunteered to show their
books in proof. One of the strongest
points against the proof of their as
sertion is that something over fifty
Of the smaller laundries who could af-
ford to grant the increase, signed the
scale granting all the demands. Only
|. the big laundries, the ones which
! made themost money, were the ones
that 'couldnt afford" to pay more
money The money they lost by the
| business for five weeks would have
| paid the increase in wages for long
| time. This "can't afford to pay more
! wages" will not bear the searchlight
| of investigation.
| All wars must have an ending, ant
| industrial conflicts are no exception
| to this rule. BY each side concedine
| points here and there an agreement
was reached finally and the laundries
opened last week Monday, union an6
| non-union men and women working
| side by side and the matter of wages
left to a board of arbitration in which
each sidehas equal representation. Or
| the same evening, after the first days
| work theunion met and amidst grea

| ers decided that "open shops were no

| It is safe to say that, if the arbi

other strike to unsettle their bust
ness. They have had enough of run

that employees have rights and TT

LABOR AND lNJUNCTIONS.
Should it be Invoked by Labor After
Condemninq 1t?


Since the issuance of the injunctions
against the employers association by
the district courts at Omaha and Den
yer, at the instance of the labor unions,
number of the leading papers in the
west have devoted considerable space
to a discussion as to the consistency of
organized labor in employing this dras-
tic weapon against capital when it has
for years denounced the injunction
when applied to such cases as wholly
illegal and an infringement Of the guar
anteed right of free speech and. action,
and the courts as prostituting the pow
er conferred upon them by the Con-
stitution. In some cases the writers ex-
press the opinion that by invoking the
injunction after having declared it's use
illegal, the labor unions have admitted
their Willingness to adopt any expe-
dent, legal or illegal, that will enable
them to carry their cause to a success
full issue; while others do not regard
the matter in a serious light but believe
this method of retaliation will serve to
call the attention of all to the serious
depths to which Our laws and courts
>of settling matters which should berons

None Of these opinions, have touched
the question from the standpoint from
| which we view it. The use of the in
junction by reason of it's use is an
established legal procedure. This being
the case, may not organized labor with
! perfect consistency invoke It for his
own protection, when should it not
| do SO, the employer may tie it's hands
with the same rope which it might have
bound him with? We may not believe
in boxing or fighting, but if a man gets
us in a corner and commences to pound
us with his fists, we would be the YER
| lest of fools not to strike back, JUS
as hard and Just as often as we could
especially if our assailant was no larger
or stronger than we are.
All that organized labor has said O.
the abuse Of the injunction may be true
but that is no reason why it may no
with perfect propriety and conslstenc,
enjoy any protection which the injunc
ton will afford him, and particular,
so when there is no other remedy a
hand and it lies within the power O
capital to prevent the member of
union from even giving loaf Of brea

in more than one case by injunction.
Many of our laws may be, and il
fact are, unquestionably bad, but tn
fact that we have condemned their in

We should not enjoy all the protectio

pushed to the, limit That there is
much of truth in. these charges is. now
evident, but that the government has
lost any considerable amount is not so
plain. -
At any rate, whatever is shown, it
will not disprove the fact that with all
it's shortcomings the postoffice de-
partment is much more economical

than it would be were it. run by a cor

Of Unions,

Los Angeles, June 26.-Special Cor
spondence.-The notorious scab Los
Angeles Times prints, on it's editorial
page, the following extract from d.
speech delivered by c.. w. Post at the
recent New Orleans convention over
which DemagOgue Parry presided.
'"There may have been some brutal
and tyrannous slave-owners in the
South, but l ask you if ever in the
history Of negro slavers did there ex-
list such a condition Of oppression,
cruelty to men, women and children;
terror, anarchy, beatings and murder
as now exists under the acts of des-
perate members Of labor unions"
After congratulating Post on his
mobile sentiments the Times calls at
tention to the fact that Post patronizes
the Times. No doubt thousands of
good union men frequently have Pos
tun Cereal Coffee and Grape Nuts
on their breakfast table. If every
reader of the Labor World will write
letters to c. w. Post, Battle Creek,
Mich. giving him a good, hard, "call-

and because of his advertising in the
scab Los Angeles Times, Mr.. Grape
Nut Postum will change his tune.
The enemies Of union men are never
backward in reaching out for the dol
lars Of these same much despised l1n-

BENEATH THE STARS
AND BARS
Johnson Laid to Rest, Federal
CoIoneps Tribute, Flowers
From Roosevelt
(By the Associated Press,4

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 1.-THE funeral of
General Bradley T. Johnson, the noted
lawyer and Confederate soldier who died
in Virginia on Monday last and whose
body lay in state yesterday in the Capitol
at Richmond, took place here today The
body was brought to Baltimore under an
escort of Richmond veteraSs and a large
contingent of Maryland Confederate vet
erans attended the funeral, the Southern
colors borne during the Civil War being
carried at their head.
Many noted citizens were present at the
depot and later filled Christ Protestant
Episcopal Church, where services were
conducted by Rev. Edwin Barnes Niver,
the rector. and Rev. William M. Dame
rector of Memorial Protestant Episcopal
church. Both Rev. Mr.. Niver and Dr.
Dame were at the depot, the latter in his
uniform of captain and chaplain of the
Fifth Maryland Regiment.
Captain George w. Booth, John p Poe
and other old friends met the family as
the train drew into the station and es.
corted the. ladies to carriages in waiting
When the casket was taken from the cute:
case it was covereS with the tattered
Confederate battle flag of the First Mary
part in General Johnson's military career
Two wagon loads of flowers were drawn
up by the side of the hearse and con-
tanned more designs than could possibly
be placed upon the coffin
Among the floral offerings was box
of cut flowers from President and Mrs,
Roosevelt.
After the church services the body was
taken to London Park Cemetery under
detachments of militia and veterans and
buried.
Judge Charles e. Phelps of tne Superior
court, who was a Federal colorel during

tribute to Johnson's memory, using the
following language
General Johnson was an author,
scholar. brilliant lawyer and CONVERSE
tioralist, a philosopher and high toned
and public spirited citizen. This court
will now adjourn as tribute to his dis
tinguished memory"
