ELECTRICITY BURNS LIFE OUT
Lineman of the Pacific Electric Conn

is Killed

Robert Gray, a lineman recently en-
ployed by the Pacific Electric company,
grasped a live wire yesterday near
Bairds station and was instantly
killed.
Misunderstanding orders, he grasped
a wire carrying several thousand volts.
Instantly he dropped twenty feet to
the ground and was dead when his
fellow employees reached him.
Grays arms and body were burned
and blackened.
He was 35 years of age and lived
with his wife and two children at Long
Beach avenue and Forty-second street.
The body was taken to Pierce Bros

Pacific Mines Bureau Pays $4,000 for
Four Valuable Mining Claims.
All Property Is In
Demand
snecIal TO The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SEARCHL1GHT, New, July 26.-The
rich properties in this favored camp
are continuing to fall into strong
hands. Among the latest deals that is
causing great interest here was the
purchase Of the Duplex Extension
group, consisting of four full claims,
adjoining the Duplex mine and on the
same mineral lode.
The Pacific Coast Mines bureau,
through their representative, J. Donnan
Reavis, purchased this group from the
original owners. Moss, Allison and
White, for the large sum of $4,000,
with a cash payment of $4,000.
This property is the extension of the
rich and resourceful Duplex mine that
was purchased by John Brockman and
Count Jas. Portalis six months ago for
the sum of $250,000. The Duplex is now
taking ore out of four shafts, shipping
daily, milling and running their inn
mense cyanide plant.
The Duplex Ledge
The Duplex ledge enters the Exten-
sion ground in all of its strength and
richness and mining men here who
have examined the property and are
thoroughly familiar with the Duplex
and also the Extension property, eX-
press the firm conviction that the
larger ore shoots will be uncovered
upon the holdings of the new company.
This late deal has stirred representa-
tives of the eastern and western in
vestors located in the camp, and the
extensions and nearby ground of the
Extension company is now greatly in
demand and being sought for.
Los Angeles capitalists are doing con-
siderable towards developing this part
of Nevada and their latest Investment
will probably rebound to their credit.

THE GREAT DIFFERENCE.
Union Printer and Street Railway
Man Aruuc

Union Printer and Street Railway
Man Argue.
There was little conversation be-
tween union printer and a conductor
on the Lincoln Street Railway the
other day, and it was both amusing
been up to pay his 10 per cent assess
ment and the conductor had just re-
ceived his semi-monthly pay envelope.
Il don't have to give up any of my
wages in dues and assessments"
boasted the conductor. Can do just
as 1 please with my wages without
asking the consent of any union"
Quite true" said the union printer
by the way, how much have you got
in that envelope?'
I've got $780, proudly replied
the conductor
And you worked how long, that is,
how many hours. for it?''
why, / worked-let me see." The
conductor looked at his time book
Il worked something over 160 hours" :"
Correct said the printer. You
worked ten hours a day for fourteen
straight days, and you get $3.50, not
cent of which you have to pay out
for union dues and assessments. Now
worked 96 hours while you were
working over $50 hours, and in the 96
hours made $36, of which paid $3.50
to my union, leaving me S32.4O. That
is $3.50 more than you made working
64 hours longer than l did. In other
words, you worked eight more days of
eight hours each than l did, and you
get $3.50 less than l did. That is be-
cause you don't have any union calling
on you for dues and assessments But
rather think I'll continue to pay
union dues, work short hours and
make more money. Better think it
over, old man.
Just then the printer reached his
corner, and he hoped off the car,
leaving the nOn-union railway man to
think it all over-if he could bring
himself up to the point of thinking.

simple reason that the carpenters take
it on their own time.
The refusal of the union carpenters
to work with non-Inion men Is well
founded. Through the efforts of the
union the hours have been shortened
and the wages increased. All this has
cost much in time and money. The
non-union men profit by these things
without paying their share. Naturally
the union men resent working with
SWITCHES. The man who will not
pay his share of the expense of Sc
curing and maintaining better indus
for men who make these sacrifices to
obtain the bettered conditions.

daughter brighter and better than the
lot of the father and mother In short,
organized labor is asking only for the
right to live.
Organized labor asks no favors-i:
merly asks for an equal show. It
demands for the child of the worker
the same advantages possessed by the
child of the drone.
Organized labor pleads for better
American homes, for a better Amer
ican citizenship, and for a higher type
of civilization. 1t asks. that the child
of the worker be given the playtime
of youth instead of being forced by
corporate greed into the mill, the shop
and the factory, there to be stunted
mentally morally and physically. 1t
asks that equal pay shall be given for
equal work, regardless of the sex of
the toiler. It asks that safeguards be
thrown around womankind to protect
the wives and daughters and sisters
from the corroding touch of organized
greed.
Organized labor opposes child labor.
more than it opposed chattel slavery.
for while the latter enslaved only the
body, the former enslaves both soul
and body.
Organized labor pleads that it be
judged according to it's average in
stead of by it's worst. 1t is willing to
abide by the judgment of honest men
who are unbiased by selfish interests.
Organized labor, while admitting it's
|fallibility, points with pride to it's
record of achievement in behalf of the
toiling millions. 1t has reduced the
hours of labor from sixteen to eight,
nine and ten 1t has raised the wage
scale from the minimum of bare exist
ence until today the toiler is able to
hold his head up with his fellows. 1t
has forced legislation safeguarding
the life and limb of the workers. 1t
has compelled safeguards for the
health of men and women in mills
and mines. 1t has given millions to
the sick and the destitute. 1t has
robbed the potter's field of thousands
of victims. Its record of good works
is as long as the centuries in which
it has been fighting for the betterment
of mankind.
1t seeks nothing to which it is not
entitled. 1t denies nothing that in
| justice should be given.

The union men and women of Lin

powerful weapon for the upbuilding of
the cause of organization. If that
money should be spent exclusively for

merchants to load their shelves with

On April Is, 1905, A. H. Armstrong:
manager of the Armstrong Clothing
company, agreed with parties in Lin
ccln not to buy any more of the "scab"
Roelof hats. Early in April of the
p, esent year the Armstrong Clothing
company advertised Roelof hats, and
Immediately the Central Labor Union
proceeded to investigate.
1t developed that Mr.. Armstrong has
rot purchased any Roelof hats since
his agreement with the parties in Lin
coin, but having a few left in stock
pl oceeded to advertise them in order
to get rid of them. The matter was ex-
planned to the satisfaction of the COM
mittee that waited upon him, and the
incident may, be considered closed.

the Carpenters Union did not take
into consideration the competency of
the workman he gave utterance to an
untruth. The carpenters have not ad-
mitted to membership a single man
who has not drawn the minimum scale
|of 32% cents per hour from some
member of the Contractors Exchange.
The carpenters have not made a de-
mand fer an eXorbitant increase III
the wage scale. They have asked. for
an increase of less than 10 per cent,
which is less than one-half the in
crease in the average cost of living.
They are asking for minimum wage
|of 30 cents ,an hour. which is 7k
cents less than the minimum in
Omaha.
This sudden interest in the welfare
lof the non-union man manifested by
Secretary Royce is really very touch
ing. But it deceives no one, least of
all Secretary Royce. When the cor
tractors figure on a building they fig

ting up the building, gets the benefit
The union carpenters are merely ask
ing that the contractor make an
i equitable division of the profits.
The opposition to the Saturday
half-holiday is not well founded. The
contractors lose nothing by it for the
