The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1906-11-22

That the great railroads of the
country are in a highly prosperous
condition is shown by the fact that they
are ready to accept the standard of
wages set by the Pennsylvania COM
pany and to increase the pay of en-
ployes ten per cent. This proposition
has been made under the provision
that the employees will cease for the
time being any further demands for
advances in wages. While the increase
would involve an additional annual ex-
penditure of about $4,000, 900 by the
great roads, the belief is that the COM
panies would to a large extent be re-
imbursed by the effect created in avert
ing strikes. Strikes, as is we'll known,
has cost the railroad companies mil
lions Of dollars.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1906-11-22

Some genius has invented an arti-
fetal Christmas tree which he expects
to manufacture in large number and
place on the market. If any man de-
serves praise it is this inventor, for he
is truly a benefactor to mankind. So
great has been the demand in recent
years for Christmas trees that hun
dreds of thousands millions
have been required to supply the mar
ket. But while the hand of man has
been equal to the occasion it has been
at the expense of the pretty evergreen
trees, the tops of which have been
ruthlessly Topped off and the attrac-
tiveness of such trees in consequence
despoiled. Lovers of nature will vel
come the artificial Christmas tree.
