WILL MAKE EXPERIMENTS
ON SALT LACE CUTOFF

The Southern Pacific railroad, on the
Salt Lake cutoff will IT, new ex
pertinent in an effort to check the
troubles which have occurred from
nigh winds on the lake, according TO
Manson.
For a stretch of one hundred feet
along the cutoff, where the greatest
'ificutly on account of big waves has
been experienced, hugs logs aimed
70 the track and weighed down with
big rocks, will be placed and it is be
lieved will serve as a break water for
the big waves which wash over the
tracks.
Another experiment which will also
be made by the company Will be the
placing of large concrete slabs along
arother piece of track, which it IS
thought may act in the same way as
the log system
This difficulty along the cut-eff has
hafled the engineers and various meth.
DDS which have been devised have all
been abandoned. With characteristic
tenacity the engineers of the Salt
Lake division are clinging to the idea
that something will be found in time
o do away with the trouble on this
lake which is chiefly caused by the
forming of salt spray, resulting from
high waves, on the rails. This makes
hem slippery, as though creased, and
It is impossible during a wind storm

hours often occurring.
If either the log or the concrete
experiments prove in any measure sue
a~essful, they will be adopted for use

WILL RUSH CONSTRUCTION.

Within the mex few weeks 5000
employees will be added to the con.
struction crews of the Western Pa.
eifc, says the Salt Lake Herald. If
possible this army of workmen will
all be recruited from Utah laborers.
Colonel l.. A Benton, general agent
of the Denver & Ria Grande passen-
ger department, yesterday received a
wire from an employment bureau in
st. Louis asking permission to furnish
5000 men men wanted for the work.
Colonel Benton talked to Mr.. Wyehe.
division engineer for the Western Pa
cifc, and Mr.. Watts of the Utah Con
struction company. and learned that
the contractors and construction engi
neers preferred to care for the un
employed of Utah before looking else
where for labor.
The increase in the construction
means that the work on the Western
Pacific will be pushed to completion
as fast as possible. The line between
Salt Lake and Elko will probably be
finished by fall and regular trains will
be operated on this division as soon
as the track is laid. The Flowerlak Q
tunnel, $50 miles west of Salt Lake
and one of the longest tunnels on the
road, will be finished in June, and with
its completion the most difficult feat
Of railroad construction on the line
between Salt lake and Elko win have
aeen accomplished.

RANKS OF UNEMPLOYED.

A careful canvas of the country by
cities and states. the result of which
was published in several of the ne"
York and Chicago papers Sunday, ~
dicates that almost a million ana a
quarter of men areout of employment
in the United States at the present
time. The conditions are worse IN the
east and best in the northwest. Omaha
makes the best showing of any city
Of it's size in the United States. New
York is suffering most. The accepted
estimate of the unemployed in the me-
t~ropolis is $4,000, and to this number
NAV be added many more thousands
who are working at reduced time and
wages. The Central tolerated Union
places the number of men out of work
in New York at half a million, and of
these it asserts that 1S7.500 are union
men. In West Virginia with a work
ing population of 100000, more than
10000 are idle. There are 100000 idle
men in Illinois, of whom 10000 are
in Chicago. In Philadelphia 100000
men are looking for work and many
of those employed find that their earn
inc power has been greatly reduced.
In the meantime Investigations made
in the larger cities indicates that the
cost of living is little. if any, less thar
it was before the panic hit the country
LIN other words il still continues at
the highest point ever recorded in tins
country. Wage earners who have lost
their Jobs or who are working at re-
duced wages. find that it costs as
- ..Lx tIn., Far,trAc ng ~
did in the fulItide of prosperity.
Here, it appears, is where the trusts
have a big advantage over the labor
unions. The unions when adverse con
ditions come, cannot keep their men
from being thrown out of employment
or for shorter hours at reduced wages.
But the trusts can and do hold up the
price of their products and exact their
full pound of flesh from a stricken
country. The customer can take his
choice of doing without or paving the
same old price.
In times of panics everybody suf-
fers, of course. except possibly, a few
like Rockefeller. and Morgan. whose
they rise above the universal laws and
reap a profit out of the disaster. But
those suffer most who have the least
margin of protection-the wage earn
ers. The farmer still has his farm, the
merchant still has his goods. which
people must buy; the manufacturer
still has his home and his bank ae-
count, and ever if the wheels Iii stand
still his family does not suffer for
food.

A SHARP MOVE.

Hon. John Sharp Williams, leader
OF the minority in the House OF Rep
resentatives, has demonstrated his
ability as leader in the stand he
has taken on a number of recommen-
dations made by the President TO
Congress, and which, while desirable
and beneficial recommendations, the
majority in Congress have been slow
and unwilling to enact into law. Mr..
Williams has informed the Republi-
cans that If twenty-o one Of their num-
Der will vote for the measures, the
minority will furnish sufficient votes
80 enact them into law.
As these recommendation OF the
President involve publicity OF cam
paign contributions, regulation OF
child labor, an employers liability
Dill, compensation to government
employees for injury or death incurred
In It's service, and reduction OF tariff
on wood pulp and print papers, mat
ters IN which the masses of the pee
pie are vitality interested, it can read
lily be seen what an advantage Mr..
Williams has given his party in the
coming presidential election, and
how he will during the campaign pre-
eeding it put the Republicans on the
defensive.

SCANT COURTESY

The Republican State Convention,
a. Lynchburg this week, seemed to
have taken a violent dislike to ne
gro delegates and federal Ofiiee-
holders. One minute it was bowling
down one OF the faithful sons Of
Ham, who was humbly attempting
TO exercise his prerogstive a. mem
bsr OF the convention, and the next
minute it was according nited
States Marshal Morgan Treat The
same kind of treatment. Now, when
we take into consideration the fact
that the militant force in the Yir-
ginia G. o. p. for years back has
been these very sons of Ham and
these federal ofticeholders, it is time
TO pause and express e little aston
ishment that the convention should
have treated them with so scant a
courtesy. True these forces haven {
been able to accomplish the
purpose OF political p lrty. II ,mely.
victory, though they have succeeded
IN reaping the.fruits ofvictories in the
country at large, and this may have
had some bearing on the case, for
human nature is very much like the
world over and the world likes a
winner. That the forces above men
toned failed to win may or may not
have been the fault Of these forces,
but at any rate they suffer the con-
sequences OF failure. The negro,
blind follower OF a political party,
which uses him at elections and kicks
him out the day following, should
draw an object lesson from the Nir-
ginia Republican convention just ad-
iourned and determine to cast his
ballot hereafter in accordance with
the best interests OF the State In
which he lives. While the Demo-
cratic party has never thrown sop
to the negroes and perhaps never
will, It has treated them, in so far
as circumstances justified, with fair
ness and impartiality, and that is
more than their Republican white
friends have done in many instances.
Looking at the matter from a gen
eral standpoint the negro would, it
seems, benefit himself by abandoning
his blind loyalty to one political
party.
