RAILROAD CONTRACTORS WILL
SETTLE WITH THEIR LABOR
Frs EVERY NIGHT.
New System be Used by Stems &
Shields in Building North Bank
Railroad.


who will build the railroad down the
north bank of the Columbia, are pc
culiar in their methods of handling
men on construction work. Instead of
issuing time checks to be cashed in
the usual manner with brokers buying
them at discount, they will pay their
big force of men every night in cash,
says the Spokane Chronicle.
I'VE have found that this is the bet
ter way to pay our men, L. E. Shields
is quoted as saying. ct holds the
men better and saves them from the
loss of the margin that they usually
pay to brokers who buy up time
checks at a discount. When man
knows that he is to get his pay every
night he works with greater energy.
Another reason for doing this is
that workmen of the class we de-
mand are more or less transient. If
man has to wait for his pay to OBJ
tain it through the customary chan
mel, receiving a time check which he
must cash at a given place, he is not
willing to work for a fraction of
week, and we lose the men of that
character entirely from our gangs.
1T is certain that the north bank
road will be built by the labor of for
eigners for the greater part. Ameri-
cans are rapidly becoming averse to
doing manual labor. They are hard
to get on construction gangs. The
Swedes are good help, and contrary to
common belief, the Italians are per-
haps the ideal laborers On such work.
AN Italian never rides the brake
beam. He never belongs to the hobo
class He always has some money in
his possession and invariably has an
ambition to save and accumulate a
surplus.
we have learned that there are
three classes of men that do not like
the Italian laborers. The saloon men
don't like them because they don't
spend their money for liquor and the
brokers because they are always in
position to realize full value on their
wages, never pledging them for adj
vances. The labor unions, too, are
not favorable to the Italian laboring
classes"
Many Men Wanted.
Five thousand men will be wanted
Immediately by Stems & Shields, states
one report, and $4,000 laborers will
find employment soon In the Pacific
northwest in the construction of the
various new railway lines that are
thought now to be reasonably sure
Of being built.
Stems & Shields will distribute to
their 5000 men approximately 100000
a month, or not less than $4,000 be-
fore their contract is carried out;
while the $4,000 laborers wanted on all
the projected lines of railway will
draw in wages not much less than
1000, 900 a month, or a total of from
S.. 900. 600 to $70OO,00O before the work
is completed.
Added to this enormous sum of mon
ev TO be distributed to the working
men by the railway companies will
be the immense sums paid out In the
purchase of supplies and material.
