MR.. sWIGART's VIEWS.
Vigorously Discusses Question OF
Cheap Female Labor.

Lincoln, Nebr., February 6.-To the
Editor of The Wageworker: 1 see
by a recent issue of the State Journal
that Mr.. Mason of this city intiamtes
by indirection that some hotel keeper
or restaurant keeper ought to "sort
o" close his doors to the general pub
lie in order that he may board and
room factory girls who are not paid
sufficient wage to enable them to
board and room wehere they choose.
that the girls to be employed have
no right to demand decent wages. He
intimates that because of the unreas-
enable price of board and lodging
to resort to "other means" l do not
know who Mr.. Mason is, but it seems
to me that he is making rather
broad statement. Does he know from
experience or otherwise that the girls
resort to other means?" Mr.. Mason
should be more explicit. l think that
if the firms Mr.. Mason refers to really
want to settle here they ought to be
willing to pay fair wages-enongh SO
that it would not be considered detri-
mental to be called a factory GIRL
as it now appears to Mr.. Mason.
Factories employing women and run
on the soup house principle with bunk
house annex are not calculated to
allure people to Lincoln. Might
ask, is Mr. Mason an overall man?

AN INTERESTING STORY.
And 1t Might Happen Any Day in the
Year, Too.

Carlos Spaghetti and his family, con-
sisting of a wife and eight children,
arrived in Chicago from Italy a few
months ago. They were met by luigi
Macaroni, a newsboy and a relative
who located them in a single DARK
damp and foul room in still fouleI
tenement. The furniture consisted OF
couple of mattresses, a dry goods
box that served for a table, three OF
four broken chairs and few pieces
of cracked chinaware
Through the influence of Luggi Mac
aIoni the ward boss secured Carlos
Spaghetti job in the street cleaning
department at $1.10 day. Mrs. Mac
arOni, the mother of Luggi, secured
work for Mrs. Spaghetti. The work
consisted in sewing overalls, work
shirts and jackets for the firm OF
SWEET & Shopper. The two Older

girls helped Mrs. Spaghetti, and COM
bined efforts of the three re-
suited in an average daily income of
dollar.
One Carlos Spaghetti is taken sick
and can not work. A few days later
the baby sickens and dies. Then one
by one the other children are taken
sick, and Mrs. Spaghetti is forced to
earn food for all of them. The un-
buried baby attracts notice and the
attention of the health authorities is
called to the matter. Then it is dis
covered that the whole Spaghetti fam
lily is suffering from virulent small
poX.
During all this time Mrs. Spaghetti
is carrying the overalls and work
shirts and jackets back to SWEET &
Shop.
Out in Lincoln, Nebraska, is mer-
chant, Mr.. John Wise, who orders a
big bill of goods from SWEET & Shop.
The manager of that particular depart
ment unpacks the overalls, work-shirts
and trousers from the boxes. While
he is doing so Mr.. Lotsof Rocks, a
Lincoln banker, comes in and says he
! wants a jacket in which to potter
around his automobile. The clerk
sells him one just received from Chi
cago Then a carpenter came in. He
was formerly member of the union,
but because the union insisted on his
paying dues to help maintain wages
and hours he dropped out, although
still prof1ting by unionism. The clerk
sold him a pair of overalls just re
ceived from SWEET & Shop. The car
penter went back to his home, donned
the overalls and went over to Mr.
Littleton's, the coal man, to make
some repairs in the kitchen pantry.
About ten days later the manager
OF the working clothes department oil
MI Wise's store is taken sick. The
next day Rocks is reported very i'll
and Mr.. Littleton is also on the SICK
list. Then Hoggem, the non-unior
ton results in putting up smallpox
cards on the houses of each one Of
the sufferers.
At the window of Hoggem's little
house appears the tired and worn face
of the wife and mother, who is await
ing her turn to suffer from the filthy
disease. The three little Hoggems are
flushed of face and feverish of blood
And back in Chicago Mrs. Spaghetti
is still making the living for her littl'
ones, for Carlos Spaghetti is dead
died of smallpox.
If that consignment of goods hal
come from union factory the germ
Of smallpox would have not been Turk

SAN ANTONIO KILLING
Rumualdo Ramirez Uses His Gun on
Manuel Valen2uela with Instant
Fatal Results.
wHIsKEY TELLS THE STORY
Ramirez Does Not Deny the Shooting
but Says That He Acted in
Self Defense.

One more is added to the list
of crimes committed in Socorro
county under the influence of
bad whiskey. At one o'clock
yesterday morning in San An
tonic Rumuldo Ramirez shot and
instantly killed Manuel Nalen-
zuela. The tragedy occurred in
front of Jacobo Chavez'S saloon.
AS near as The Chieftain has
been able to ascertain the facts
connected with the killing.
Ramirez and Valenzuela had
been drinking during the early
part of the night. The latter
was just in from ranch where
he had been herding sheep, aud
had his Winchester with him.
Somebody told Ramirez that
Vanzuela had threatened to
shoot him on sight. Ramirez
went home and got his gun and
came back in search OF his
victim. In front of the saloon
of Jacobo Chavez in old town
the two men met. The report of
gun was heard and Venzuela
fell dead with a bullet through
his left breast. AS far as is
now known there was no sub
stantial cause for the quarrel.
The affair was Immediately
reported to Sheriff Aniceto G.
Abeytia. He sent Deputy
Henry Dreyfus down to San An
tonic at once to arrest Rami-
rez, who was brought to So
corro before noon and lodged
in the county Jail. 1t is re-
ported that the prisoner does
not deny the killing but says
that he committed the act be-
cause he had been told that his
victim had threatened to kill
him. The case will probably be
presented to the grand jury now
i'll session and the trial may be
had during the present term
of court.

extreme, dangerous to human
life, even of convictS, unjust.

cases as barbarouS. uncallcd for

New Mexican is informed and it

victS have been strung up for
days at time by the wrists.
that is: handouts were put on
them, connected by an iron
chain a few inches. in length,
this chain was placed in staple
and the convict placed under
this, his arms uplifted and in
such a position that his feet
barely touch the floor. In one
case the New Mexican'S infor-
nation is that the prisoner to
whom this barbarouS torture was
applied and who has been so
tortured for seventeen days

administered in a dark cell and,
