Ing it's value has enhanced inlmcasur-
ably by the demand for prairie dogs,

that the English noblemen have on

that the character OF the prairie dogs

animals arc the size of an overgrown

a LESSON IN GOVERNMENT OWN.
ERSHlp,

EIaSHIP.
A csblegram makes the interesting
statement that the government has
introduced In the Hungarian Parlia.
ment measure subjecting to instan,
dismissal any en1ployo OF the state
railroads who participates in strike
or offers passive resistance. Such
employees cannot form unions except
by permission OF the government, and
they are debarred from membership
in any association whose aims arc
incompatible with tho interests of the
public service.
That Is one phase of government
ownership Of railroads which should
interest the workingmon. IT the gov
ernment be strong enough, it may fix
its own scale Of wages, make it's own
regulations and compel its employees
to submit.
But there is another phase which
should interest the general public. We
learn from the Springfield Republican
that" there is movement in Massa-
chusetts to unionize employees in the
public service. 1t is known as tho
Massachusetts, Federation Of State,
City and Town Employees, and IT re-
Gently held an annual convention at
| Boston. Its objects, as stated in a cir
cular letter. are ito bring about legis-
lation to municipal employees that
justice may be done to every laborer.
so that he may receive a pension, the
same as policemen, firemen, etc, in
the various cities in tho State; every
city and town should have the same
standard Of wages. and on account of
the increased cost OF living 1t should
be Increased to fair days pay, so
let us oil work together, that we may
accomplish something that wilt be
beneficial to all municipal employees"
Think Of Il government like ours In
control Of the transportation and
telegraph lines, and all tho employees
thoreof-perhaps two million in num-
ber-banded together in a close or
ganization. In such a condition 1t
would be easy for the officers of gov
eminent to make terms with the labor
organization and form great poll
teal machine. which nothing short OF
bloody revolution could ever over
throw.
There could be no middle ground
Either the government would doml-
nate the employees, or the employees
would dominate the government; OF
the government and Its employees
would combine and dominate the PEG.
