CIT z Nj EETING.
NEW ROUTE FOR POWER TRANS
MISSION LINE.
NICE oiscossso.., LrrrLH WORK DOHs
ROLLS OF AccoUNrs-REcEss TO
NEXT MONDAY.

Monday evenings meeting Of the beard
of aldermen was good deal like smudge
much smoke and little fire. It was
nearly II o'clock when the meeting ad-
| journed, and while there wss much dis
cussion, little business Of record was
| transacted.
Mayor Greeiy, Aldermen Stuart, Curtis
Staples and Alexander were present at the
meeting.
Chief Engineer Leonard, Of the Bar
Harbor q Union River Power Co., before
the meeting, exhibited to the board one OF
tbs irsrlators II is proposed TO use on the
po ,er transmission line, with an insula-
tio test Of 10000 volts. Afr. Leonard also
submitted map showing ths new route
proposed for the power line, which u
fro the power house to Grant street,
thence by Grant street and the proposed
ness road on the western side Of the river
to the DOYLE bridge road, thence to the
old Bangor road, which it follows through
the Flood district to the new Bangor road,
an thence by the Boggy brook road to a
poi It near the Mccartney place, where it
cM across to the railroad, and then fol-
lows the railroad to Brewer.
The map was not accompanied by the
usual petition, so no formal sction could
be taken by the board. The route Was in
formally discussed by the board, however.
While thers is less serious objection to
this route than to the one first proposed,
there ID some objection from residents of
the Flood district, particularly from A. E.
Flood, who objects to the sacrificing OF
some beautiful shade trees in front Of his
place. The power company has secured
options from property-owners al along
the line up to the Flood place, which
would allow it to keep back from the
highway, but Mr.. Flood, it Is understood,
will not give an option, and objects to it's
following the highway in front Of his
place.
After the necessary petition is presented
there will be formal hearing on the pro-
posed route.
Judge John A. Peters appeared before
the board to urge the building Of the new
road on the western side Of the river this
fall. The Branch Pond Lumber Co., which
is doing quite business and employing
several teams hauling lumber to Ellis
worth, will be obliged to make q long de-
| tour with the lumber unless the new road
is built, or else stop hauling. The most
serious obstacle to building the road this
fall is lack OF funds. Mr.. Leonard said a
reliable Bar Harbor contractor had Of
fered to build the new piece of road for g
rod. The distance is about $50 rods.
The board took the matter under consid-
eration.

matter has been kept very quiet to
date, owing to opposition from several
quarters, but matters have progressed
so far that public meetings are now
being held The organization has, in
fact, been perfected, and a gratifying
percentage of the switchmen have
signed for membership.
The Switchmen's Union of North
America is affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and as an
organization it has been growing rap
idly during the last two or three years
There are in the neighborhood of one
hundred switchmen employed in Lin
coin. Many of them are members of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
but it is reported that a majority of
these are also in favor of separate
organization.

Bureau Of Labor Announces a Policy
Dangerous to Workinqmen.

Bureau of Labor Announces a Policy
Dangerous to Workingmen.
The daily newspapers last week
contained the significant announce
ment that the national bureau of labor
was about to engage in the strike
breaking business. OF course it was
given another and higher sounding
name than that, but that is what it
will amount to.
The bureau of labor announced that
it was prepared to furnish laiborers
for the purpose of distributing the
laborers who have congested in the
east" Employers short of labor, any
where in the country, are invited to
correspond with the bureau, where
upon the bureau will set about finding
the labor and putting the employer in
communication Herewith. 1t is
claimed that this is done to keep the
alien iaborers from further longest
ing in eastern cities, and to distribute
them more evenly over the country.
All this sounds very good, but it viii
deceive no man who has brains enough
to read and write 1t is an open dec
1aration that employers may depend
upon Uncle Sam to help them break
any strike to enforce a demand for
decent wages and fair treatment The
Illinois Steel Company at South Chi
cago employs some eight to ten thou
sand workmen. These men are
worked like slaves and are paid starv-
alton wages. Most of them are for
eigners ignorant of our language and
affairs. The moment they become
sufficiently Americanized to demand
decent treatment, out they must go,
and Uncle Sam will ship a few thou
sand more ignorant ones to take their
places. This game will be worked
world without end, amen. The big
corporations, aided and abetted by
the bureau of labor, can import these
ignorant and too often degraded for
eigners faster than we can unionize
them or the country can assimilate
them.
Uncle Sam, Strikebreaker!
Sooner or later the intelligent work
ingmen of this country will see the
necessity of getting together as close.

When they do the government will

he had thus been legally bilked, Jones
sued Stewart for the return of the
money. The case was tried in. the
district court and Stewart won. Jones
appealed to the supreme court and
lost, but in deciding against him the
supreme court denounced Stewart in
language that should forever prove a
bar to his ambitions to sit upon the
bench. After reviewing the evidence
the supreme court said:
Much as the court may feel disposed
to condemn the selfish cunning mani
tested by defendant in this transac-
ton, and to lament the artless conf
dence Of plaintiff, yet the legal rights
involved are governed by we'll estab.
Iished principles, of the law, by the
law only must they be settled.
Is a man who manifested the sci
fish cunning" pointed out by the su
preme court the kind of a man the
wage earners of Lancaster county
want to sit in judgment in their le
gal matters? Is the man who would
thus take advantage of another mans
ignorance the man the wage earners OF
Lancaster county would choose to sit
in judgment in matters affecting their
legal rights?
The Wageworker presents only the
record of the supreme court as it ap-
plies to the fitness of Willard S. Stew
art for the district bench, and leaves

Rev. Charles Steele Tells How the
Matter Was Finally Adjusted.

Rev. Charles Steele Tells How the
Matter Was Finally Adjusted.
The local labor paper in La Crosse,
Wis, recently contained the follow
ing paragraph:
'At the last meeting Of the Trades
and Labor Council the Pastors Union
was reinstated by a unanimous vote.
Labor papers will please note that
they would not have been taken back
had they been "ousted" as alleged.
We hope that delegates from both
parties will now attend meetings reg.
ularly."
1t appears that the fraternal dele
gate from the Ministers Association
thought that it was not necessary to
attend the meetings of the central
body while the Ministers Association
suspended it's meetings for the sum-
mer months, although he had, up to
that time, attended as often as posi-
BILE. 1t should be said, however, that
the fraternal delegate from the Cen
trail Labor body had also been remiss.
The delegates to the central body
thought that the ministers had lost
interest, and they sent the preachers
polite note reminding them of their
apparent neglect, stating that they
preferred to discontinue the relation
ship which had been in existence for
two years. But, as indicated in the
above item, the plan of the exchange
of fraternal delegates between the
Ministers Association and the Trades
and Labor Council has again been
put into effect by unanimous vote.
To indicate the progressiveness of
the Central body in La Crosse, the
following item which appeared in the
same issue, will be of interest:
The latest plan of the Trades and
Labor Council is to have one mem
her of all locals join the Board of
T.a6e A good plan, indeed. Let us

WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

Last Monday the banks of the coun-
try cody notified their depositors
that no checks would be cashed
We'll pay you what we owe you
when we get good and ready was the
bank dictum.
When a wage Garner refuses or
neglects to pay what he owes, he is
Immediately put on the dead beat"
list and his wages are garnisheed.
Why the difference?
Why is a bank, which has accept
ed your money and used it to it's own
advantage, allowed to dictate when it
shall lpay your checks?
Why is a workingman garnisheed
when he decides to suspend paymen:
for a definite or indefinite time? -
Which is of most importance to
this country, the banks or the work
ingmen?
These questions are not asked in
a querelous mood. We really want to
know.
We have the utmost cinfidence in
the stability of the banks of Lincoln
and Nebraska. The money you may
have on deposit therein is safer than
if deposited in an old stocking or hid
den under the rining room carpet.
Don't worry!
Everything is lovely. This pinch"
is only temporary.
e- But while you are waiting for the
furry to pass you might be bordering
on the above questions.
Perhaps the banks have secured an
undue advantage because they, have
organized in fact as we'll as in name,
and act as unit in all matters affect
ing their interests.
If this is a good thing for the banks,
why wouldn't it be good thing for
the workingmen to do the same thing
Did you ever make note of the fact
that financial institutions are never
partisan? They support the men and
policies that promise the most for
them-and they make sure of it be-
fore they extend their support.
If this is a wise thing for financial
institutions to do, why wouldn't it be
equally wise for workingmen to do
the same thing?
20, always vote for the man, not
for party!"
Rats! You've said that so often you
actually believe it. Yet every time
ELECTION day comes around you hurt
your throat yelling for your party, and
you don't know why you do it. You
vote 'er straight" and couldn't give
an intelligent reason for SO doing.
You don't catch the banks trans
acting their political business that
way-not by a long shot.
If it isn't too painful you might pro-
fit by doing little thinking for your
selves.

The supreme court said that Mr..
Stewart manifested selfish cunning
in his deal with a fellow man. Do
you want that kind of man on the

Police Tug Without an Engineer.

The resignation Of Engineer William
Corbin Of the harbor police tug vigilant
to accept a. berth on the tug Marion
Cameron. belonging to the Potomac
Dredging Company. leaves the police boat
without an engineer and the police de-
partment officials are having trouble in
securing a competent man to take Mr..
Corbin's place. Since the engineer left
the boat two days ago she has been prac-
tically out of commission for want of a
man to run her engine, and it is stated
that there are no applicants for the
place This condition of affairs Is brought
about by the fact that practically all the
marine engineers of the city have EN-
ployment, and also that the berth of en-
gineer of the harbor boat pays less than
any of the larger tugs or steamers run
ming out of Washington.
The pay of the steamboat engineers on
the Potomac ranges from $75 to $1,J per
month and on practically all the tugs
and steamers members of the crew re-
ceive their board In addition to their
wages. The engineer Of the police boat
has been paid $40 per. month and is re-
qured to board himself While he has
considerable time ashore he has to be
about the harbor precinct ready to re-
spond to calls at a minutes notice, so
that he Is practically on duty for twelve
full hours.
