PAY CASH ST, WAGES,
URGE LABOR MEN
BY CHECK GENERALLY
CONDEMNED BY UNIoNIsTs
Labor Leaders Point Out the Necessity
Of the Wage Workers Getting His
Money Promptly, and the Likelihood
of His Going to a Saloon.

Minneapolis business men who advo-
cate payment of wages in cash rather
than by check had earnest supporters
in the city the last two weeks, in the
persons of delegates to the convention
Of the American Federation of Labor.
The reason stated in each case was the
same: that it was placing an additional
burden upon the wage Garner and prac-
tically cutting his wages, to pay in
checks. -.. g., .-,.s. '.
John Mitchell, president Of the
vice president of the federation, said,
"We won that fight long ago and got
our pay in cash. With check payments
there is always the chance that the
worker will have to go to some man
who will insist upon discounting the
check, and so lose part of his wages. -
Frank Morrison of the international
Typographical union, secretary Of the
federation, said: "Payment should be
made in cash whenever possible, as that
is the easiest and most direct way for
have earned. The check system fire.
quently drives men into saloons which
they might not visit otherwise -.
John B. Lennon of the tailors' union,
treasurer of the federation, said: cit
is shame to pay in checks. Not only
is it great inconvenience to the men,
but it also tends to drive them into the
saloons to get their money, as banks
are usually closed at pay hours"
Frank J. Kennedy of the plumbers
union, said: leash is preferable to a
check every time
Federation Of Labor, said: fragment
by check puts an additional burden
&pon the worker who has already
earned his money and is entitled to It
without any further trouble. It is also
a tax, for owing to the hours at which
they are distributed it is impossible to
cash the checks at the banks, and the
man who needs cash at once must go
to store or saloon. At either place
he feels that he must buy something in
order to repay the kindness Of the man
cashing his check.'
Frank T. Hawley, grand master Of
the Switchmen's Union of North Ameri-
ca, said: "Cash by all means, will
admit that 1t is something of q burden
upon the employer to make up pay en-
velopes, but he usually has a man en-
ployed to pay wages, and the benefit to
the wage +s Garner ustifes the slight adj
L.. B. Wilson of the United Mine
Workers, congressman elect from a
pennsylvania district, said: ENatural-
ly we want CASH.
Allan Gee, fraternal delegate from the
British Trade Union congress, said:
"Until you asked me the question /
had never heard of paying wages by
check. The practice is Unknown in
England and I had never met with
it in my experience before. Of course,
high employees, getting large salaries
receive. them in checks, but such a
thing is unknown among the working
men Of England.''

BROADWAY GAIETY GIRLS
They Make Merry at the Dewey Thea
ter this Week.

:, Two clever fareeg with just enough
ward off monotony make up the show
given by the Broadway Gaiety Girls at
the Dewey theater this week. -.e
The lines turnout are bright and orig
lnal, SO that the comedians tho some
what new to the patrons have no
trouble in bringing the laughs. The
chorus is well above the average as
far as good looks are concerned, but
the girls are not called on for lot of
worn out ensembles and song features.
The chorus in fact plays a minor part
in this show and is only called on when
really needed. Almost the entire time
is taken up with the burlesques. Both
acts have reasonable plots and are re-
plete with comical situations.
The show is somewhat short on songs
due to the fact that the management
uses only the late and catchy ones and
these are few and far between this sea-
son. Beatrice Haynes, assisted by the
chorus. makes most Of the song hits.
Miss Haynes also has clever act in
the olio calling for unsual versatility.
Mario and Aldo, gymnasts, have some
stunts that are not old and all of their
work is on the spectacular order. Their
turns have finish that is lacking in
the ordinary, vaudeville stunt. Weber,
Bigger and Stevens make good in q
short skit and Bulla and Bragg bring
out the laughs in short sidewalk turn.
Brown and Bartoletti have little of
everything in their skit. They are
good entertainers, but the act could be
shortened without working a hard
ship. a7s 81

EXPLOSION OF GAS
FATAL TO DESMOND

Daniel'W. Desmond, caretaker at G..

moments later an explosion was heard.
Neighbors ran to the place to find him
unconscious on the floor and the plant

streetcar brought him to the city, but
he died just before reaching the end
of the journey. The body was taken

The cause of the explosion is not
known. Desmond is survived by a wife
and child who live in Excelsior.

NO COFFEE
The Doctor Said.

Coffee slavery is not much different
from alcohol or any other drug. But
many. people don't realize that coffee
contains a. poisonous, habit-forming
drug-caffeine. .-....
They get into the habit of using cof-
Zee, and no wonder, when some writers
for respectable magazines and papers
speak of coffee as "harmless. =,
Of course it doesn't paralyze one in
a short time like alcohol, or put one to
sleep like morphine, but it slowly acts
on the heart, kidneys and nerves, and
soon forms drug habit, just the same,
and one that is the cause of many over
looked ailments. '-.r d..
