During the past year conditions OF
railway service have changed ma
terially in Oakland and San Fran
cisco. Our business has improved,
your cost of living in some particu-
lars has increased.
Notwithstanding We advanced
your wages last October to the
highest rate paid in the United
States or elsewhere, we believe
conditions warrant us in making an
other advance at this time.
I'VE appreciate the fidelity with
which you have discharged your
duties under exceptionally trying
conditions and that YOU have gone
forward with your work cheerfully
and without grumbling or discon-
tent"
The W. W. P. Co.'S scale pays
street carmen % cents an hour tor
the first six months work; "a cents
for two years; % cents for two and
one-half years. There is another
class ranging to q, 80 and 33 cents.
To reach the latter rates of pay the
carman must work Is years and
qualify in various respects. Very
few wear the w w. p. livery long
enough to get anywhere near the

HOW'S THIS FOR HARD LUCK?
BY FRED j. HEWITT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. left
you carted a thoroughbred race
horse all the way from New York
to San Francisco in the anticipa-
ton of making a great killing
And if it started to rain after you
reached the racing center and you
were unable to train the animal
properly
And if you had picked out the
spot where you intended to clean
up, which looked so easy
And then you entered your nag
in a tough race where you didn't
think you had a chance, just for a
workout
And your priced property just
outran herself and made her field
look cheap in that high class
event
And you didn't have a bet down,
but instead slipped little of your
long green in on the favorite-
And your horse won at the beau
tiful odds of 80 to L
l say, wouldn't you be angry?
That is just what Trainer H. M.
Mason did.
His horse was Dollie Dollars-a
sweet mare, which around New
York last summer was some pump
kjnS-aOd with hPr ho intended tn
make the killing of his life.
Now Mason is not greedy. He is
satisfied with 3 or 4 to for his
money when he is betting on his
own horse. The spot he picked out
for Dollie Dollars was in a six fur
long dash for non-winners at the
meeting where the best he would
have to beat would be Walter Jen-
ning's Blondy.
The rain had prevented Mason

MAY
STRIKE

BUTTE, Feb. 1.-THE strike
started here by the pressmen and
telephone girls threatens an cpl
demic of labor trouble. With news
papers suspended and telephone
service tied up, the Carpenters
union has asked for an increase Of
from s. to Sc per day on April J.,
and the Workingmen's union will
demand $3.50 instead of So March
/. The Miners union, it is rumored,
will shortly ask for an increase to
81 per day.
Both the printers and telephone
girls have rejected the terms offer
ed by employers.
Employers who recently granted
butchers a raise of from 81 to IS
per day have filed protest against
the new scale and this is likely to
cause more trouble. 1t is reported
that the plumbers are also uneasy
and likely to ask an increase.
In addition TO this, Butte will be
without mail delivery March /, UNI
less the carriers are given better
pay, and various unions are
threatening to make the thing gen
eral unless settlements of the
strikes now on are speedily
reached.

K|CKERS READY
FOR WAR

The powers that be have another
live wire to reckon with in the
"Kickers' Klub," organized and
painted for war last night at a
meeting held in the Liberty Park
Baptist church. w. S. Lewis was
elevated to the lofty position of
exalted high kicker; c. Twitchell,
"kronic kicker; A. c. Gray gen
eral kicker" and M. d. Hall was
installed as the man with the big
"klub.". ...,.
The members have a list of NUM-
cipal grievances that they have
vainly tried to get adjusted as pri-
vate citizens, but failing in that
they have united and are going af-
ter the city hall with a vengeance
if any further turn downs come
their way. Their chief mission on
earth just now is the opening of
streets needed in the neighborhood
of Liberty park. The kickers are
going about these enterprises
gently at first, but if nothing hap
pens they are going to swing the
big stick and to make the swing
more effective will join forces with
the Federated Civis clubs. A COM
mittee was appointed last night to
negotiate a defensive and offensive
alliance.
The street work campaign out
lined by the kickers includes
grading of various thoroughfares
in their part of the city, macadamiz-
ing of Perry st. from Lawrence to
Seventeenth, and the macadam MIXING
Of Ivory from Eighth to Tenth.

Taxes and Big Business.

Nearly every State Legislature this
year has been graphing with the tax.
alton problem, and in almost every in
stance it has been found that large COR
porate interests oppose the effort to en-
act laws designed to impose upon them
burden equal to that borne by indi-
vidual owners of property. Legislators
stand i'll awe of these representatives
OF Big Business. Because it is a
wealthy corporation that puts up fight
the lawmakers are carried away with
the idea that passage of the bill is more
difficult, But there should be no differ
ence. If a measure is right and just,
the fact that an opponent of the bill
represents ten millions should not give
him any more influence than is exer-
cised by friend OF the bill who cannot
show title to ten thousand.
Facts are none the less true because
they make a case against millionaire
Arguments are none the less sound be-
cause advanced by an overburdened
farmer. But there is something about
the millionaire that makes the average
legislator bow and scrape when the two
meet in the lobby, but it is the farmer
who must do the bowling when he and
the legislator come together. Hence it
is that much merltorious tax legisla-
tion has been defeated in n number Of
states. s.-Oregonian

Sheriff had sustained serious internal
injuries, but DR.. Burgess reports only
painful bruises in addition to a couple

Pay Your Dog Tax.

There is law upon the statute. books
providing punishment by imprisonment
in the penitentiary or county Jail or
fine of not less than $50 for poisoning
an animal, the property of another.
Dog -poisoners have not been subject to
punishment under this law for the
reason that dogs are not property. The
last Legislature, however, passed an
act making dogs property, and after
May % poisoners will be liable to pun
ishment. Dogs will also be taxable, as
other property. -Oregonian.
In this connection The LEADER calls
the attention of the Toledo dog owners
TO the fact that the tax on their animals
is now due, and that the Marshal is
under orders to kill all unlicensed dogs
abiding within the city limits. If your
dog is worth keeping, pay the tax on
him, and be proud to recognize him as
an asset under the head of personal
property"

Alcohol Not indispensable.

A dispatch from, London, under date
of April 80, says:
A contradiction of the recent declar-
alton in favor of alcohol by leading
physicians is now published by the
medical press over the signatures of
dozen physicians, including Sir Fred
erick Treves, William e. Ewart and Sir
James Barr. Referring to the recent
manifesto the signatories say:
1--WE gravely dissent from much of its
teaching, nor can we accept 1t as an
authoritative statement of recognized
medical opinion on the matter" The
sIgnatories say further that they think
alcohol is unnecessary as an article of
consumption in the case of healthy
men and women, and that its general
use could be discontinued without
detriment to the worlds welfare" Be.
lieving, they also say, that alcohol is
one OF the most fruitful sources OF pow
erty, disease and crime, they are pleased
to add that it is now sparingly employed
as remedy by a majority of medical
men.

The Fly-Fishing Season.

like to go a-fishing in the good old
summer time
With genial, jolly fellow, by the way;
| like to whip the ripples ard keep busy
all the time,
Till evening shadows chase the golden
day.
IT'S royal sport to lure the trout and
catch 'em on the hv,
And deftly work 'em in with rod and
reel;
And when you chance, to lose the game
you force a smile, but sigh:
Your sporty partner knows just how
you feel.
He greets your triumphs with a cheer
and shares his meager store
To brace your tagging limbs with
bogus zeal;
And when you slip and tumble in, just
hear him laugh and roar:
Your sporty partner knows just how
you feel.
