BEEF TRUST MAGNATES.

1t is said that the president is deter
mined to send some of the beef trust
anag,lates to jail. If he succeeds, we hope
he will put them on vegetable diet
during their Observation-Disclosures
journal.
The president is doubtless determined,
SO are others, the dear good people, for
instance, but how will the president get
them into the Jail and keep them incar-
ceratei? If the beef trust magnates
should not escape through the roof,
Or underground, they will have the tech
ascalities of law to keep them from Jail
indefinitely and forever AS rule
jails are for people who are moneyless
and therefore friendless. Magnates do
not go to jail, at least if they should
GO, their release is generally as swift as
1t is certain. In England the nagnates
would go to jail and stay there, but the
United States is not England

CONGRESSMAN BREAZEAI 3.

Congressman Breazeale has gottor
himself into pickle now with the PEG.
pie Of his own parish BY congress, at his
suggestion. condemning and declaring
Zane river not navigable Natcfitocles
has enjoyed cheap freight rate on ac-
] count Of river competition, but as last
act OF their congressman they are now
wholly at the mercy Of the railroads
Minden Democrat
Congressman BreazeaIe, from the eau
casian's view, should not Be held respon-
sihle for the increase in the freight rates
BY railroads. The cheap rate could not
be seriously ascrhied to the advantages
OF cane or other river. The river
competition with. The railroads IS more
OF fancy than reality. If is fact
that steamboat traffic in Red river is. q
record Of the past The Red river line
OF steamers has passed out of existence.
here may be occasionally steamboat
IN Red river but the traffic will be con-
trolled By the railroads. While the peo-
pie Of Natchitoches may condemn Con-
gresham Breazeale for declaring Cane
river not navigable, after all, he stated
fact which cannot be reasonably dis
Puted. How could Congressman Brea-
z-ale assert that Cane river is nayigabIe
when It IS nota We do not consider the
people OF Natchitoches as more wholly at
the mercy Of railroads than is Minden
ami the thousands Of towns on rail
Tuads in this state. Why not be fair to |
Congressman Breazeale? Il was through
the efforts Of Congressman Breazeale
that the bill authorizing the construction
ct z bridge across Red river at or near
Shreveport secured the approval OF con-
xress. While the Caucasian contributed
rs influence to the defeat Of Mr.. Brea-
zeale for denomination and favored III his
stead Judge Watkins. we state without /
hesitation that Congressman Breazeale IS |
entitled to the fullest praise for the good
work TO his credit.

The brickhyers' unions, whose trade
agreement with the Mason Builders As
ISOLATION expires at the end Of this year,
are negotiating for a new one The pres
ent pay Ia 70 cents an hour, with double
price for overtime. When they work twelve
hours q day they are paid $il.2o. As there
lisa great demand for bricklayers the unions
are going to demand rs cents an hour next
year.
The rate Of wages and conditions to pre-
vail during the year are fixed every year
by the trade arbitration board, consisting
OF an equal number Of mason builders
and bricklayers. They are nearly always
on the verge Of an open rupture before
an agreement b reached A preliminary
meeting of the board has been held, but the
question Of wages was not reached. 1t will
come up at q meeting next week. The
present agreement differs from all previous
agreements in duration. Up to the time 1t
was signed all agreements began on May /
and lasted for year. The present agree
ment began on May l, 1904, but the time
was extended until the end Of this year.
The trade agreements In future will begin
always on Jan. 1.
The mason builders say that when the
wages wore raised to TO cents an hour last
March tho top notch was reached. They
are unalterably opposed, they say, to paying
more, and some Of them are In favor OF
returning to the rate OF e5 cents an hour
which prevailed for two years.
