EIGHT HOURS
FOR PRINTERS
The Minot Offices Agree TO Give
The Printers an Eight Hour
Day Demand was Made Jan.
LIST, Over the Entire U. S.

Z b 4 e q u s y -.
The three newspaper and job
printing offices OF Minot signeda
contract with the Minot Printers
Union agreeing TO the eight hour
day.
This contract was made Tor
one year and is similar to that
asked by all Printers Unions,
the United States over. The
printers work is tedious at the
best and they believe that they
will be able to earn their money
at eight hours. They allege that
by good careful figuring and
close attention to their business,
they will be able to accomplish
nearly as much in theeight hours
as in the nine.
The wages remain the same.
The Independent is not adj
verse to the eight hour day, pro-
yiding this paper can show up
right kind OF a balance at the
end of the month.
We have quit working for our
health aud want to make a little
money now. That does not
mean that we want to grab
every dollar that is in sight, but
want to get our fingers on a
sufficient number Of them to
make us feel that life is worth
the living at least.
The printers feel just the same
as the EMPLOYERS in this sense.
II the eight hour day will help
them, then the Independent glad
" agrees to this part. Of the
contract.
The employers however, have
!, right and must ask the very
best that the men are able to,
give.
A printer is not a good union
printer who will not at all times
work for hisemployer's interests.
Papers which have hadexperience
with the eight hour day system,
say its all right aud the Indepen-
dent only hopes and trusts that
at the end Of 1906 it can say
the same.

Grill Cafe Robbed Of S7,5.

Sometime Sunday night, some
one entered A. Skeoch's private
office at the Grill Cafe by crawl
ing thru the transom, and stole
about 1896. The suspected
party was put in the sweat box
Monday morning by Judge MUIR
ray and Officer Kimball but
stuck to the story that he is in
nocent. The police however be-
lieve that they have scented the
right party and may be able to
land. At first it was thot that
$500 had been stolen, but after
wards it was learned that the
cashier had taken 5000 to the
bank Saturday evening.

Finished Reading Charges.

Vim. Black, county com
missioner, having finished read
ing the charges made against
the three commissioners by
Auditor Fabrick, came to Minot
Sunday night, presumably to
lay some plan for his defeuse. If
Fabrick did not tell the truth in
those charges, then Black, Car
roll and Richardson will have
good lcause for action against
him. iOf course q county auditor
should be in a position to get at
truth, and Mr.. Fabrick's friend s
are not worrying on that score.

fairyland. On every side are
articles OF use and beauty, taste

possession! The sparkle Of cut
glass, rich and beautiful designs
in hand painted china, the dull
glow Of silver, the richer glow OF

more closely each article shows
its own form, use and value. All

that he would be more charitable

MAYOR VISITS IN DANVILLE. Ky

Mayor Yeiser returned last night
from trip to Frankfort and Dan
Vile. KY. and was down at his Office
early this morning. He has been
very busy receiving reports from diff
ferent departments and in confer
ences, and had an Office full of callers
when a Sun representative saw him
this morning.
81 think we shall get all the legis-
lation through at this session of the
legislature that we desired for our
cities" he said. when asked about
the prospects of the legislation the
mayors of the second-class cities are
asking from the legislature. "Of
course one or two of the bills may
fail TO pass. but we shall get at least
nearly all we asked for. The bill that
stands the least chance for passage
Is the one governing the city jailer.
as there is a hard fight on it.
1--WE mayors have several other
bills we want TO get through. but we
concluded to ask for those we wanted
the most first. and II successful with
them, we shall try for the others.
One change talked of was TO change
the elections of city officials to con-
form to those of the cities of the first,
third. fourth, fifth and sixth, as pro
yided for under THE constitution.
The constitution says the mayors and
other officials except the city judge
of all the cities shall be elected al
the same time, and this is not the
case now"
The mayor enjoyed his visit to
Danville a great deal. He was born
in Danvllle and enjoyed meeting his
old acqualntances much. Mrs. Yeisei
was with him on the trip, but went
to Hawesville for few days visit.
81 saw something at Danville Sat
urday that could only happen in Ken
lucky" said the mayor. "A man
was being tried for murder. and the
officials and jury were anxious TO
hear lecturer who had been
brought to the city by the Daughters
of the Confederacy to lecture on
Robert f. Lee, so they adjourned
court, and all attended the lecture.

The freeze of the past day or two

Near the |. C. depot. east, is a

is possibly the best to be found about

in force today enjoying this winter
sport.
Schools will dismiss this afternoon
for the remainder OF the week and If
the weather continues cold IL will
mean three or four days of uninter-
