REFORMS INAUGURATED

Upon assuming management OF the
labor contract, March 1, 1906, l found
inaugurated several reforms for the
benefit Of the laborers. / took UP with
District Engineer D'Heur of Los An
geles the matter of better habitations
and better cars and general facilities

and IL the financial crash had not come
iast summer every point would now
nave It's new equipment. I advised in
May or June, 1906, raise of salary to
$l.25 per day. This was granted. II
should add here that these laborers re-
eeiYe house, wood and water free)
Subsequently, last fall I believe, the
pay was reduced to 81 because of the
stringency.
1 soon found it had been customary
for the labor contractor to seek profits
from the pay papers of track laborers
by discounting or Shaving" them. Any
Mexican quitting before the regular
monthly pay day received from
the section foreman what was
known as location paper
neither was the amount due stated
Aside from railroad officials and the
contractors, no one knew what the
paper was worth. 1t was nonnegoti-
able. The owner had to wait the ar
rival OF the paycar unless the con-
tractor cashed 1t. These papers were
caShed by the contractor with discount is
ranging from 10 to 80 per cent, usually
dependent on whether the paycar was
due in a few days or a few weeks.

and cut IT out absolutely. The. result
might have been anticipated. Human
nature responds everywhere. even If
you find q poor devil that looks like
the Examiners type of peon brought
over as a slave at so much per head
by Francis J. Heney." The Mexicans
appreciated the better treatment and
responded by increased purchases of
supplies. I built up the monthly re-
ceipts 100 per cent.
CONDITIONS IMPROVED
The Mexican consul at Tucson wad-
yised President Diaz that the Southern
Pacific company treated Mexican track
laborers literally and humanely and
tnat conditions were steadily growing
better. If a Mexican worked steadily
| for six months he had free transporta-
ton back to the line whence he
came. Ninety per cent come from Ell
Paso. The Mexican government
watches them at Juarez (across the
rfver) and the United States govern-
ment inspects each and every Mexican
Immigrant at the bridge connecting Fl
Paso and Juarez. The inspection is
thorough and systematic and the
United States government insists
chiefly on the needed physical condi-

Copenhagen.

Owing to the great typographical
strike in Denmark the Swedish papers
in Malmo have been reaping an i'm
mense harvest. Malmo, as it we'll
known, lies directly across the sound
and it does not take long time to get
over there from Copenhagen. One
Malmo daily has been disposing Of 25,-
600 copies daily and has thus been do
ing an excellent business. The labor
unions have been sending delegations
from Copenhagen to prevent Malmo
from sending papers to Denmark, but
this has had no effect whatsoever. The
strike has caused much ill feeling in
Denmark, but it must be fought out
and the chances are that the labor
unions will be defeated. The labor
unions in Denmark are well organized,
however, and a long and determined
struggle is looked for.
A recent Copenhagen dispatch states
that the typographical strike does not
hit the provincial post so very hard.
Out of 200 dailies published outside OF
Copenhagen only fifty have suspended
publication, and many of these have
sent out short notices. At Silkesborg
the strikers became so indignant when
the Silkesborg Avis appeared in spite
of the strike that they smashed the

An exchange states that the French
newspapers are having little fun al
the expense Of the Norwegian author
tiles because of the fact that so many
Of the French journalists who visited
Norway during the French presidents
visit there, were decorated rather free
~ with the st. Olaf's order. 1t now
appears that there was one among the
bunch who was not journalist who
nevertheless received the st. Olaf's
order and is now showing it about
enough he was Frenchman and had
naturally joined his fellow country
men when he reached Christiania.

zetted knight Of st. Olaf and natu-

When Bjornstjerne Bjornson was

because he supported the monarchy in
1905, he replied: mot for single mo-

I desired to see Norway become re-
public But the manner in which the
union was dissolved made this too
dangerous Furthermore those who
are acquainted with the events of
1905 know that we were morally
bound; the official statements to the
contrary were mainly pettifoggery.
