trip from where he was taken i'll to
his mine outside of Santa Fe, but we
have only given it its due Importance
since hearing what has come to us to-
day.
Miss Van Arsdale," continue the in

going to tell you what our men have
learned about this Sears. AS have
said before, 1t is but forestallng the
reporters by a day. and it may help
you to understand why sent you such
peremptory orders to stop when your
whole heart was fixed on an attempt
by which you hoped to right Mr.. Du-
rand. We cannot afford TO disturb SO
distinguished a person as the one you
have under your eye, while the least
hope remains of fixing this crime else
where And we have such hope. This
man, this Sears, Is by no means the
simple character one would expect
from his position.

couple of labor leaders called on the
president and that they left. satisfied
with the position the president had
taken in the Moyer-Haywood contro-
versy."
Now union men who have kept tab
on the union game for years will have
no difficulty in guessing what unions"
these so-called labor leaders repre-

very first time. They represented
railroad brotherhoods. One was 8. B.

from Frank Swigart, member of st.
Louis Typographical Union No. 8, and
has been deposited in the Columbia
National bank. subject to the order Of
the trustees to be selected by the sub
scribers OF the pledge.
Let Frank Swigart's timely dona-
ton be the foundation of a fund that
will grow so rapidly that Lincoln
trades uniopists will be able to point
TO handsome labor temple before La
Dor Day, 1908. Read Mr.. Swigart's
letter elsewhere.
Then Frank Kennedy, editor of the

coming on?" asked a leading banker

"A little slow now, but it will begin
booming right away" was the re-
ply.
We'll. just as soon as the union men
exhibit the proper spirit you can come
to me and I'll give you good sub
scription. But the union men ought to
first show the rest of us that they
mean business"

much this gentleman will subscribe,
but IL 1t Is less than $25 The Wage
worker will make up the difference.

The Wageworker will make this
guarantee: Just as soon as union mer

will guarantee to raise $1,000 among

cause they have no trade, but who
are our friends and always willing ant

Getting Ready to Swallow Another
Little Business Firm.
A few years ago Engiehart & Co.

for time, but the packing house
combine finally decided it was time to
call a halt. So Swift & Co. came in
and by the use of tricks known to

retire from the field. Being out of the
meat business Englehart & Co. went
into the tallow and hide business. This
was a small business at first, but En-
glehart & Co. made a success of it.
They bought of all the local butchers,
paid fair price for what they bought,
attended strictly to their work and
soon began prospering. For six years
but as might have been expected, their
success in this line again attracted the
packing-house trust.
Now comes Swift & Co. again with
virtual notice that Englehart & Co.
must give up their tallow and hide
business. There is some money in
1t and we intend to get it," says Swift
& Co. The fact that you built up and
developed the business is nothing to
us. We are going to have it or ruin
you"
The usual tactics have begun. Swift
& Co. are offering more for the raw
tallow than Englehart & Co. can get
for the refined tallow, and the butchers
of Lincoln. with the usual short-sight-
| edness, are going to sell to Swift &
Co. AS soon as competitors are forced
out of business Swift & Co. will re
duce prices to minimum for the raw
product and hoist them to a maximum
for the refined product, and more than
make good all losses sustained by
