UNION MINERS DEFEATED.
Joseph Letter Has No Trouble Finding
Easy Judge.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 22.-Joseph
Letter. owner of coal mines at Zeigler,
is victor over the miners union in the
contest which has been waged for
nearly two years in the United States
court for the southern district of Illi-
nois over the question of whether the
miners union and it's officers should
be perpetually enjoined from interfer-
ing with the operation of the mines at
Zeigler Walter Mcclellan Allen, of
this city, master in chancery, to whom
was referred the question, with orders
to take testimony in the case and re-
port to the court his findings, has filed
that report with James l.. Jones, clerk
OF the circuit court, and he finds that
William Morris, president of the sub
district of the miners union, and a
number of other officers and members
of the locals in that section of the state
were guilty of violating the injunction
of Judge Humphrey restraining them
from interfering with the operation of
the mines at Zeigler and that the in-
junction against them should be made
perpetual, while in the case of a num-
Der of other defendants he finds them
not guilty. The taking of testimony
before Master in Chancery Allen oc-
cupied considerable time and a large
number of witnesses were examined on
both sides. Joseph Letter was here in
person to testify. The case has been
bitterly fought by the miners union
and they have had able counsel here
to represent them.

Messrs. Zehrung and Fulton a little
token of the central body's friendship
and appreciation made it's report and
said that it's work had been accom-
plished The report was accepted and

street car men package a week or

helped to organize the local union and
who had done his level best to keep it
going. And those it hit deserved all
they got, too."
Another member of the union said
that a conductor who had refused to
join the union remarked that he was
satisfied with his wages AS he was
drawing the magnificent wage of 10
cents an hour and working twelve
hours a day, it will be seen that he ia
easily satisfied.
The street car men of Omaha are
organized. The minimum wage for
first year men in Omaha is higher
than the maximum wage for fourth
year men in Lincoln. The Seattle men
are organized. The first year men
there receive cents an hour more
than the fourth year men in Lincoln
Oh, no; the street railway men of
Lincoln are not needing an organiza-
ton!

SOME FIGURES.
How You Can Help Make Lincoln a
Bigger and Better City.

There are fully 5000 men in Lin

most of the time, but q vast majority
OF them are cigar smokers. Say there
are 1000 confirmed cigar smokers, and
that they average two cigars each'
daily. That is q very low estimate.
Put even two a day would mean $4,000
cigars. Suppose all of those cigars
ouire not less than sixty cigarmahers
to supply the demand. Add to these
the cigars smoked by transients and
