BOWLING GREEN PRINTERS
WIN THEIR HARD FIGHT
Over a Year of Hard Fighting
Ends In An Eight Hour
Victory.
The Typographical Union Pub
lished a Paper That Aided
In the Fight.

The Bowling Green Evening Bulle-
tin, published for several months past
by the Typographical Union of that
city, and which grew from a three
column folio into six-column, four.
page daily paper, announces that the
issue of Saturday, December Is, will
be it's last. Under full page head,
ITO the Victor Belong the Spoils,'
the announcement is made that the
eight-hour fight has been won, that
every member of the union will re-
turn to work on Monday morning.
This is a well-earned victory, mas
much as the membership of the union
was not large, and that almost from
the outset the shops which refused
the eight-hour day were able to OBJ
tain printers, such as they were, to
take the places Of the strikers.
But the union men refused to desert
their cause. The battle at times was
very bitter, but the determination of
the union men coupled with the just
ness OF their cause, could not be
downed. There remains but one non
union office in Bowling Green, and
the Bulletin announces that 1t is ex-
pected satisfactory agreement will
be made in the near future which will
permit them to claim Bowling Green
as strictly union town in the print
ing trade. AS it is, there will be no
unemployed union men in the city.
The strike roll has been wiped out.

NORTH DAKOTA GRAIN
MEN MAY ORGANIZE

FARGO, N. D., Jan. 3.-There will be
an effort made in Fargo Jan. 16, to get
all the Independent elevator men and
all the Independent shippers and buy
ers lined up in big state organiza-
tion. Two sessions will be held here
during the meeting Of the Tri-state
Grain growers. The great necessity of
getting the combination has been thor
oughly established this year, as it will
be impossible to make a success of the
terminal elevator proposition without
the cooperation of the farmers ele-
vator men and the independent ship
pers, as no supplies of wheat can be
secured otherwise. The old-line
houses ship to their own terminal
houses. There will be a number of
prominent speakers, and committees
are already at work in an attempt to
formulate a plan on which all can
agree.

.STELzLE WRITES ON
DEMAND FOR LEADERS
Noted Preacher in His Usual
Characteristic Manner
Pleads for Men.
Says That Man is Wanted
Who Can See the Truth
and Act Upon It.

New York, Dec. 27.-In his weekly
news letter the Rev. Chas. Stelzle Of
the Workingman's Department Of the
Presbyterian church writes under the
heading: Wanted: A Man." He
says:
"A man who can see things; who
can feel needs; who can be stirred
deeply by lacks; who will refuse to
be complacent where chaos reigns;
who suffers when good causes suffer;
who says it is too bad about bad con.
ditions and who means to his hearts
cookies what he says; who believes
with all his might that bad things
and dead organizations and lame
methods and Indifferent people and
languishing enterprises and untouch-
ed opportunities need not remain
such; who never despairs over any
situation where what ought to be is
not; who hopes, always; who has in
sights; who sees the way out, or is
out seeking the way; who dares to
say, l know, on the basis of his faith;
who is always sure, though never
cock-sure; who spreads a contagion
OF hopeguluness wherever he goes.
Wanted: a man to see and feel
and believe in things.
"A man who can do things and does
them every time he gets the chance;
who, having seen worthy end works
towards 1t though it be ten thousand
miles away; who cannot stand the
repreach upon himself of good things
left undone; who believes that any.
thing worth believing in is worth
working for; who marshalls forces
and produces the forces where thew
are not at hand; who has knack or
Is hunting for one; who, charged with
energy, charges others; who puts
ginger into all the sets at, and leaves
out the mustard and vinegar; who is
all on fire and never scOrches peos
pie; who is humble enough to accept
nobody's business as his business: ::
who is lordly enough to set the uni.
verse to rights, or at least to try; who
cr1tlc1zes people for their Incidence
and who frankly believes that he is
the people; who says: Come on. let's
40 it; when anything needs being
done, and then does it whether any.
oody comes or not; who takes hold,
and lets go only to spit on his hands
for new hold; who undertakes all he
ought, neglecting to ask whether he
can.
"Wanted: a man to do things. to
do them hard and long and today.
"One such man or something like
him In each labor union and in each
church. What could not be accomn.
l1shed? The coming of the Kingdom
OF God waits upon the discovery and
sanctificatfon of such man. One is
host. Only one would make his
own organization the wholesomest
healtiest thing in Gods world. ONLY
one. II 1t had been such a man he
would by Gods grace have saved
Sodom all by himself. There is no in.

mons, in June, 1908, said: I'm Glas-
gov our undertakings, particularly the
tramways, gas and water are kept up
to date, the amounts written off for
depreciation are ample. The city ac-
counts are so clearly kept that have
been able to understand them without
any assistance"
The number Of passengers carried
last year by the Glasgow tramways
was 20S.059,833. This is, nearly four
time the number carried during 1894,
the last year Of company operation.
The average far paid per passenger,
was 1888 cents. The average traffic
revenue per head Of the population
served was 1912. In San Francisco
the average receipts Of our street rail-
ways equal $40 per capita. It is these
enormous payments of car fare by
our people that enable the companies
to issue their watered stock and bonds.
1t is said that the people Of San Fran
cisco pay more per head for care fares
than the people Of any other city in the
world. Should San Francisco acquire
and operate It's street railways. there
is no question but that a three cent
fare would give ample revenue to cover:
all operating and other expense, and
