Davis on Labor.

The Lincoln (Dl) Courier publish
es an extract from a letter recently
written by Vice-Presidential Can
didate Davis in which he discusses
his labor record. He denies the
charge that he employed injunc-
lions against his men and asserts
that he, on the contrary, declined
to apply for an injunction when
it was suggested by one of his SUI
perintendents. In the letters he
says:
81 am glad to have your letter
calling my attention to the publ
cation placing me in an attitude OF
hostility to the laboring class. No
one who knows me personally or
is at all acquainted with the cir
cumstances of my life, will put
any credence in the statements to
which you refer. l think | can
well claim that | belong to the Ia
boring class.
"For many years | worked in the
ranks as q wage-earner and |
know what it is to arm my living
by the sweat of my brow. On the
other hand | have been a large m
ployer of labor, in railroads, coal
mines, lumber mills, etc., and have
never had any serious trouble with
u men. | can recall but two in
stances in which there were strikes,
and these were of short duration
and peaceably settled. No man
has ever been discharged from u
service because he was a union
man or been evicted from a COM
pany's house for any reason. |
think you will find that the condi-
tons of the road man and the min
er in connection with the enter
prises | have directed will compare
most f%avorably with those in other
localities of the country.
81 have always believed, and my
conviction came from the hard
school of experience, that measure
ed by the character of the work he
does and the cost of living every
man is entitled to full compensa-
ton for his services.
81 am charged with having in
stituted proceeding which led to
an Injunction against strikers, by
Judge Jackson, of this state. The
fact is, l had nothing whatever to
do with the case, and knew nothing
about the matter until | read of it
in the newspapers. The injunc-
ton did not apply to the men in
our employ nor pertain to them in
any way. On the contrary | re-
member on one occasion one Of
our superintendent suggested an
Injunction against our men and
declined to consider it."-Com-
moner.

CLOSE CALL FOR NEW
COMBINATION WAGON.
Lincoln Hose and Protection Hook and Ladder Re-
sponded to Alarm in Washington Street and
Nearly CoIIided With Boiler Which was in
The Middle of the Street.

The new combination hose wagon
of Lincoln Hose Company had nal
row escape from being wrecked while
on its maiden trip to fire in Wash
ington street, shortly after 1 O'Clock
this morning. In addition the lives OF
the firemen who were riding on tho
wagon were endangered.
The wagon, drawn by two horses,
was going ut rapid rate up Washing
ton street, from State when a few
foet east of the Pennsylvania railroad
crossing, ono of the firemen saw n
large boiler near the middle of the
road. 1t was huge affair and bore
no light to warn drivers SO that, had
it not been for the happy chance
which enabled one OF the tiremen to
notice the boiler in the road ahead,
serious consequences would almost
certainly have resulted.
The truck of Protection Hook and
Ladder Company also had q similar
escape. 1t was some distance ahead
of the hose wagon, so that the men on
the latter did not see the escape of
the truck from running into the boil.
or, left there by a contractor.
Tho fire was in an outhouse belong
ing to William Kilmurray, in the rear
of his residence, ut 115 Washington
street. The alarm was turned in by
Patrolman l.. @. Jensen from box 65,
at the corner of Commerce anu State
streets. The cause was unknown.
Damage, to tho extent of about $50,
was done. The blaze was. easily ex-
tinguished.
