PACKERS AGREE WITH MEN
Unskilled Employees Get Advance of Cent
and Half in Wage Scale.
NO DIVISION AS TO CLASS OF LABOR
Conference with Skilled LabOr is
Under Way, with Prospect for
Amicable Settlement u
All Differences.
NO DIVISION AS TO CLASS OF LABOF

At a conference between the packing
house managers and representatives of the
Amalgamated Association of Packing
House Employees, held at South Omaha
yesterday. an agreement was entered
into covering the wages OF unskilled en-
ployes. An increase in pay of from 17h
to 10 cents an hour was granted, and no
division of the men as regards class OF
labor. This raise affects about 200 men.
The rate paid unskilled labor is one-hAlf
cent an hour greater than that paid in
Chicago.
When it was announced that a
compromise had been reached be-
tween the packers and the labor organ
izations regarding the scale OF wages to
be paid unskiIled labor at the packing
houses those most deeply interested ap-
peared to be perfectly satisfied. While the
A~malgamated association asked for 20
cents an hour for this class of labor a
compromise was made and laborers will
now receive 10 cents an hour, This is an
increase of III cents an hour. or 10 cents a
day.
Vice President Vail Of the Amalgamated
was we'll pleased with the result OF the
conference in this respect. as unskillad
labor at the Chicago packing houses is
paid at the rate Of 1874 cents an hour. Thus
South Omaha laborers secure a benefit over
the larger market.
Now that this matter of unskilled labor,
which Affects 900 men here, has been set
tied, It is thought that there Will be little
difficulty in bringing about an amicable
agreement as 20 the balance of the wage
scale. Conferences will be held every day
until all OF the questions now up are dis
posed of. The result Of yesterdays con-
ference seemed to put a stop to all talk
Of a strike. Mr.. Vail said the best Of
feeling prevailed between the packers and
the labor representatives and that no doubt
matters would soon be adjusted,
support for Union Men.
Central Labor union last night mapped
out plans for the financial support OF the
various unions on strike In Omaha. At a
special meeting the central body arranged
TO make a general appeal throughout the
country for aid, devising systematic means
for establishing a contingent fund such as
was maintained in the case Of the Union
Pacific strikers. The secretary OF Central
Labor union has been authorized to send
out a general statement OF the Issues OF
the present strike in Omaha TO all labor
organizations throughout the United States
as tho basis for an appeal for help to be
continued until the struggle is over.
Besides this plans were set on foot TO
have the per capita tax which has been
contributed by all the unions Of Omaha to
the Union Pacific strikers diverted into
the treasury Of the strikers who have later
| come into the arena. This tax has been. In

woaIdn't vouch for Him.

Some of the lads who get into u
business life early can be relied upon
for good common sense. The head of
a big grocery store in Chicago has
been greatly pleased with this COM
mon sense attribute in one of the
boys he employs. He is a bright,
honest lad, quick and reliable, and
when second boy was needed they
sent for "Sam." Couldn't he get them
a boy? They wanted boy as good
as he was, and he must know of one.
After some thought he finally agreed
to send them one, and the next day
the boy arrived and Sam was called
to identify him. do you know this
boy, Sam?" asked the employer.
"Yes," answered Sam; 81 know him."
And do you know him to be good,
honest boy?" 81 have played with
him all my life, and 1 have always
thought he wars" "But will you
vouch for him?" persisted the en-
ployer. NO." answered Sam indig-
nantly; 81 won't vouch for anyone. I
wouldn't vouch for my own brother.
How do know what temptations you
are going to put before him?"-Gol-
den Days.

ANOTHER HERO.


let me tell you of hero who has never
marched away.
With gay flags above him flying. to be
fearless in the fray:
He has never heard the rattle of the
rifles or the roar
OF the havoc-dealing cannon as the shells
go screaming Ger
He is not a gallant soldier. and the world
knows not his name,
But, unlaureled, unapplauded, he's a
hero, just the same.
All, the turkey was delicious that they
piled upon his plate,
And his sisters and his brothers chat
tered gayly as they ate.
With thoughtful face he gently pushed
his white meat all aside
And he nibbled at the gizzard and a
wing, unsatisfied:
Then he slipped his bunch of raisins I'm
his pocket on the sly
And was sorry that he couldn't hide
away his piece of pie.
At the corner by the alley, where the
wind howled all the day.
Sat pale boy at window while his
mother sewed away.
And he held a bunch of raisins and
wishbone that was bare.
Tasting still the tender white meat that
had chung so lately there.
1 have told you of my hero: men may
never give him fame,
But I think he has a tablet up in heaven,
just the same

Not all visitors to the country are
as ignorant of the farmers surround
ings az the farmers sometimes sup
pose. Browning's Magazine gives this
instance:
"Wal," said Farmer Wilkins to his
city boarder, who was up early and
looking around, ben out to hear the
hnycock crow, 1 s'pose?" and he
winked at his hired man.
NO." replied the city boarder, "I've
been out tying a knot in a cord Of
wood"
Farmer wilkins scowled at the
hired man, and wanted to know why
he was not getting to work at milk,
ing those cows. -----

THE PROGRESS AND HATTIEs
BURG.

The people of Hattiesbure have in
The Progress paper that is keeping
step with their city in the matter of
progress.
Twice it has been enlarged within
sixty days and further enlargement is
| coming. if all the people will but
break bread and keep the faith with
| rs.
Some have been liberal in the en-
couragement they have given the pa
per, otherwise halfway so. some
moderately SO and many Others show
ing an indifference which leaves but
one construction and that, they don't
care whether Hastiesburg has pa
per or not.
Some of the latter class are the
city's largest property owners, per-
sons who have basked in the good
that papers have brought to the town,
prospecting along as the city grows.
and yet as averse to any acknowledge
ment that would smack of recognition
OF the actual cause that has in the
main brought wealth and ease to
| them, as q substance deaf AMI speech
less.
1t is fortunate, however, that there
are enough outside of this class to
keep paper going, but how much
better would it be for the city were
all to come up in proportion COM
mensurate with their ability and thus
vouchsafe for Hattiesburg a paper
that would do credit to even Birming-
ham or Memphis.
The Progress has not been satisfied
! to stay in the clothes first cut out for
it and if it has outgrown two dresses
within 60 days and is nearly ready for
another. how much greater will be
its proportions in year or two, and
especially so if those who are able to
give aid, either by subscribing or ad-
vertising, will only join in with those
who are already doing so, and let's
have long, strong pull together in
the work of Hattiesburg's upbulld
ing, for the growth of the city will
mean a growth of the paper, for we
have pledged allegiance to Hattiies-
burg, have enlisted for the war. and
in size of paper will keep st,p with
her, enlarging from time to time al
ways keeping abreast.

their troubles as we'll as humans
Out on the sidewalk the other day
was half-dozen English sparrows,
fighting for the crumbs a child had
dropped from piece of cake. One
sparrow had only one foot, but it
stump as lively as the rest, and was
as saucy and as insistent on its rights

that the birds with two feet showed
it no favors, being in respect like
some persons who make no allowances
for the infirmities of their neighbors. .

with the Land ord an reil him to stop

He sets that dish on one side and
wades into some of the many dishes
that do suit him. It is different with
some newspaper readers. They find
an article occasionally that does no.
suit them exactly. and, without stop
ping to think it may please hundreds
of other readers, makes grand stand

1T was thought when the old capitol

so. While feeling of loneliness
pervades the vicinity, yet the beaten
path that has been followed for the
