LABOR SEEKING ITS LEVEL.

The packing house strikers defeated,
weary and hungry, have sued for peace
but the packers. conscious of their vic
tory, know rot the magnanimity of
brave man. 1t was suspected at the
start that one OF their purposes In pro-
voking a strike was to bust" the union
and now the suspicion seems verified.
Common labor is experiencing glut-
ted market. The competition for such
jobs as the packers have to offer is
unusually keen and the union is pow
erless to combat the inevitable fall in
prices. Having struck. the union is
powerless even to save itself from ex-
pulsion from the packing houses.
The lot of the STR - is a hard one.
Even before the strike he was able to
make scarcely more than 81 per week
owing to so much lost time. He would
rather starve than leave the city to go
where work to be done is clamoring for
men. He pins his faith blindly to his
organization to save him from econo-
l.
mic conditions which make 1t possible
for his enemy, the other man seeking a
Job, to crowd him out into the street
Fifteen years ago London was terri
men held daily meetings and marched
thru the city with banners and en-
blems. Like the packing house men the
'longshoremen were common laborers,
and when slight depression in in
dustrial conditions came, the surplus
labor of England loafed along the docks
competing for the longshoremen's jobs
The dockmen struck for IL cents per
hour and four hours consecutive work
The employers were obdurate. Then
came John Burns, a skilled workman,
who organized and led the strikers into
constant public demonstration until
their marching and their preaching had
aroused all England. Their demands
were finally met.
Michael Donnelly, himself skilled
laborer, is trying to do for the stock
yards men what Burns did for the
'longshoremen, but it looks as tho he
had failed. When he once had the OPP
portunity to return his men to work
and lost it he lost the fight.

the conditions which it is sought to al

and leaders like him receive q great
deal of public sympathy. The packers,

Cherokee, Aug. 30. The improve
ments all of the railroads running
across Iowa are making are noticeable
in many ways. The Chicago and North
western at the larger stations, now
shows quite a display Of flowers in the
little parks adjacent to the depots. The
Illinois Central also is doing some
thing In this line. The writer Is told
that these railroad companies own
stock of Towering plants in pots and
at their "hot houses" that would make
big display all under one roof or in
one park That landscape gardeners
little depot parks, and each season
bring out thousands of flowers trans
planting those necessary and again in
the fall have them dug up, and ship
ped back to the big green houses, for
winters care, and reshipment another
spring, If all this does not prove that
corporations have souls. 1t certainly
shows that even railroad officials have
an eye for beauty, and are willing to
crafty a taste. the public most thor
oughly appreciates.
Along the Milwaukee r. r.. between
Marine and Council Bluffs this COM
pany is putting down depot platforms
that will almost last forever. This in

CURSE OF THE MONEY SHARP

The Georgia legislature recently sent
to its judiciary committee a bill to
restrict the methods of the money
shark, aud in the course of the nearing
the president of one of the ieaalhs
mercantile establishments of Atlanta,
said that, in his opinion. -tenths
of the young men In Atlanta were n
debit To the extent of years salary,
,,ree,y as the result of negotiations
with the money sharks.
What is true Of the young men OF
Atlanta is true of the young men 81
other cities. The habit of borrowing
money and living beyond ones income
Is the curse of city life. 1t not only
weighs heavily upon the young man IT
single life and meagre salary, but u
hangs like a cloud over the families Of
handsome incomes as we'll. Every ten
stems taken along the city street con-
tain temptations and inducements TOT
a city resident to spend money. The
hare necessities are not so very much
HIGHER than country prices, but the
extras, every hours amusement and
every evenings moments of idleness
are constant taxes for expense.
1t is this that ruins young men and
brings them to the money shark. he
will loan at exhorbitant rates of inter-
est and the money secured gives tenn
porary relief Then the grind begins.
Board room, laundry and clothing bills
keep right on while the money sharks
interest demands eat great holes in the
months $50 salary check. Some men
escape, more go to stealing from their
employers. and perhaps land in Jail, a
few have been known to jump in the
river The end is always sad one.
II young men and old men could
only learn the lesson of this folly their
woes would be lessened a thousand fold.
1t is commonly remarked that man
can't get ahead In the city even on
large salary and it is mostly true. If
he must be content with small sal
airy he had better move to the country
town and work for an even smaller
one, which will yet be large enough
for him to live and own home. 1t is
significant that in spite OF the higher
scale of wages In every trade prevail
ing in the city, the artisans who work
In a city seldom own property. The
temptations to spend money. always at
their elbows, proves too much for their
income II a man does stay in the
city he should bind or contract himself
to some form of weekly investment
saving that will force him to live with
in his income with the same regularity
that the money sharks collections are
made. The young man who has amhi
ton to rise in the commercial world
must acquire the habit of saving some
ing from his income no matter how
small it is. II he starts this way he
will increase his speed at saving and
when the day comes that opportunity is
to knock at his door, as ii will always
come in every mans career, he will be
ready to seize It, The curse of the
city will not be upon him but all its
opportunities will contribute to his
gain.
