A Stitch in Time,

The alley near Bill Lewis could
be fixed now at a very small cost
and made passable and servica-
BILE all the time. This all ey is a
much used throughfare as it
saves considerable distance to
those from the northern portion
OF the town and people from the
country who pass that way in
coming down town. As matter
of fact the Council should at
some early time make arrange
ments to do away with the all ey
and extend Monroe street
through to jnin the street along
the side of the Felix Voorhies
property, because this would be
a great convenience to that large
portion of the public who find it
the shortest way to the business
part of town.

THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE.

The Bulletin, in common with other
newspapers which depend upon the
telegraph for news has suffered con-
siderably from the strike of telegraph
operators; but perhaps the greatest
sufferer IL the public as Is always the
ease III any extensive disturbance af-
fecting any given department Of ser
vice. More than likely many do not
approve of the nrecipifate manner In
which some Of the operators acted.
and this Is particularly true Of the
Associated Press operators who de-
manded that Manager Stone grant
them. upon a few hours notice. de-
mands which Involved an Increase of
expenditure agkresating s2o0.000 per
nrnum.
But, while this and perhaps some
ether things may be open TO just
criticism, il will have to be admitted
by conservative people that the
strikers demands have much justice.
md public sympathy will probably be
with them. as long as they use only
lawful means to gain 1heir ends, II
reports are trne, the average tele-
graph operator il paid very poor
wages He must be an expert teleg-
rapher as well as typewriter and must
furnish his own machine. There are
many who do get good pay in special
lines OF work, and the Associated
Press operators were among those
who probably were better OFF in this
respect: but generally speaking the
paw OF operators is not as good as It
was in years past considering the in
creased cost of living This is not
excusable. since the telegraph com
panies are making more money now
than they ever did before The men
have right TO expect living wages
and the companies should come to a
speedy agreement on that basis.
