LIGHT AND POWER
IN CITY TONIGHT.
If Electrical Workers Walk Out
Company Says Enough Men
will Remain.

The confer eice between the executive
committee of the electrical workers and
General Manager Wells Of the Utah
Light Il Railway company was held
at 2 o'clock this afternoon. According
to the unanimous decision OF a meeting
OF the electrical workers held yester-
day, If the company refuses to conced E
what the WORKERS claim to be their
reasonable demands they will declare
a strike, and the matter was acted
on at this meeting
President Lynn Of the Electrical
Workers union today said that the to-
tai number OF men affected by 4 strike
OF his craftsmen would not be more
than 60 in both Ogden and Salt Lake,
and not over $50, as stated elsewhere.
Before night II will probably be def
nitely known whether or not the union
members of the electrical workers Will
60 out on strike, in sympathy with I'll 2
street car men. Should they do so, por.
lions OF the power plants viii be tied
up and power and lights from those
sources will be unavailable,
Though this contingency may arise
the mana cement OF the Utah Light and
Railway com pany declares that there
viii be sufficient electricity obtained
from plants not un!Onised to light the
city as usual. Should. for any reason,
the various plants, fail, II is more than
likely that the situa ton would be taken
advantage OF by the lawless element
and that thieving and robbery would
result.

Buy From Your Own Merchants.

1t is an excellent rule to follow to
buy all you need, as far as you posi-
BILE can, of home merhants and busi-
ness men. We do not believe in
building high tariff wall In the way
of prohibitive license, or any other
method, to keep outsiders from doing
business here. Such a policy cuts
both ways. and generally does COM
munity more harm than good. At
the same time we are strongly of the
opinion that it is the duty of those
deriving their support from jackson
to deal with business houses of the
town in preference to sending their
money to outside merchants. Loyalty
to ones own dwelling place demands
this course. 1t should be almost as
strongly implanted in the mind as
loyalty to ones own home circle.
We know large sums are sent away
every month for goods which are
obtainable here, and for work which
could just as we'll be done here. The
notion that better work and lower
prices are to be had by sending to
remote places. Is erroneous In fact,
the outcome Is generally the reverse,
and in conformity with the principle
of "Go further and fare worse" 1t
wage earners and business men would
strictly follow the plan of buying at
home, there would be decided i'm
provement in all lines of trade in
Jackson. There is enough money
dug out of the earth, and put into
circulation every month, IN the way
of wages and dividends, to make this
as lively a town as can be found on
the coast. That 1t is not so, is
chargeable to preventable conditions,
rather than otherwise. Business
activity depends more upon the dis
than anything else. A town with
such resources as jackson, will thrive
if the people will unltedly bend their
eneriges in that direction. But If
instead of this, one part of the com
munity pulls against the other, busl-
ness life cannot be expected to be
healthy. We know envy and petty
jealousies exist in every civilized
community. These are inseparable
from human nature. They have
always been potent factors, and will
continue to be so, to the end of time.
But there Is no sense in harboring
these evil spirits to the detriment OF
the common welfare. Men and
women will cherish their preferences
of course in selecting their trading
places. This is inevitable. But as
long as these preferences are exercls-
ed within the limits of the home town,
as tar as possible, no fault can be
found.

successful affair. The day was favor

The other attractions consisted of

Threatening clouds hang over our

a distance. She was badly bruised,
but luckily no bones were broken.
Mrs Llversedge accompanied by Mrs
Fessell and Miss HiIda Leak went to

mother and sister before their de-
parture from jackson. Mrs Clough

Mrs Elmer Mckenzie of Volcano, is

while few may suffer on account of

pondence endeavored to cause them
to believe that these was the fatal and
huodooed No. IL, but they wouldn't
have it and counted me out. at any
rate they had pleasant time, and
didn't hear that any of them has as
yet invented spanking machine to
subdue unruly youngsters. Good
luck to the mothers for we all like
our mothers, and if we joke them
occasionally they will at least be
liberal enough to\ only call us
naughty.
4 good many post cards are passing
through the post offices of this county
that are indelioate and immoral. 1
was shown two in particular, that
would make the ire of Anthony Com
stock if he had seen them rise in
wrathfuI vengence. There is another
class that are sIanderous and in
sulting. They are many times used
In cowardly way to reek vengence
upon those the sender does not like.
The first named the postal authorities
ought to be notified of, and the
senders prosecuted for violation OF
the postal laws. 1t would be we'll for
the postmasters of this county to put
on pair of leather spectacles and
hood their eyes of these monstrosities
or take them off and do their duty to
the full extent of thei. authority, for
they only have to look at them to see
what is passing their offices, for it is
a shame and a disgrace to permit
such immoral pictures to pass through
the offices anywhere or any time.
