ICE FAMINE IS
NOW THREATENED
Continued Hot Weather Has
Caused an Extraordinary
Demand.
RESERVE SUPPLY Is LOW
ICE COMPANIES ARE REQUEST
ING PATRONS TO BE CAREFUL.
RESERVE SUPPLY is Low

The first stage of what may prove a
serious ice famine has reached Salt
lake. Yesterday all Of the ice dealers
cut down the supply Of ice to all of their
patrons because of the great scarcity of
ice caused by the continued heat Of
this summer. Nearly all of the available
supply for Salt Lake has been exhausted
and there is no more in sight Proprle-
tors of meat markets, soda fountains
and saloons have been asked to use as
little ice as possible.
Yesterday investigation showed that
the reserve supply of ice would supply
only about tVo-thirds of the estimated
demand. To make the supply last
through the summer it viii be necessary
to cut this demand from 210 tons daily
TO 40 tons. BY doing this and hoping
for cooler weather, the ice companies
hope To- make the present supply last
through the summer season.
The scarcity of ice is due to the extra
ordinary continued hot weather. The
heat has doubled the amount of ice
necessary to the patrons, especially to
the ones using a large amount of ice,
and it has caused a great loss Of ice in
the storage houses by melting.
J. G. Lynch, manager Of the Salt Lake
Ice company, said yesterday.
Asked to Be Careful.
IF each of the patrons of the ice COM
psny viii be careful of his oce and use
only as little as is absolutely necessary,
we will go through the season without
suffering for the lack of ice. The scar
city was due To extreme and continued
hot weather that we could not have
possibly f0reseen. 1 have been in the
ice business i'm salt Lake for twenty
years and have never seen any weather
here to compare with that we have had
this summer We have already had as
much summer this year as we have had
in any three preceding years since /
have been here"
The ice cream companies and the soda
fountain owners said yesterday that
they had been seriously handicapped in
their business through the lack of ice
The ice companies have taken the posi-
tion that these people have been using
more ice than was necessary. and will
have to cut down their supply.
The salt Lake Brewing COmpany's
plant is now turning out fifteen tons Of
Ice day i'm excess of its own needs, and
this is being turned over to the Salt
Lake Ice company a limited supply of
ice from the plant of the Intermountain
Packing company is being distributed
by the He'll Ice company. The main ice
manufacturing plant of the city, the
Utah Ice and Cold Storage company, is
unable to manufacture enough ice to
supply the city each day.

THE EMPLOYERS WERE GUILTY

When 1t was announced in the daily
papers a week or ten days ago that
the employing hatters had locked out
the union hatters and discontinued the
use of the union label because the hat
ters' union had violated the contract,
The Wageworker insisted that there
was no proof. The Wageworker furth-
err insisted that the chances were the
employers were the ones guilty of VIC
lating the contract.
Now comes confirmation of The
Wageworker's suspicion. The en-
ployers, not the employees, are the
guilty parties.
The Guyer Hat Co.. a Boston con-
Germ, made a contract for a specified
length of time and at a specified'wage
scale. with the United Hatters of
North America, the contract being
based on the Boston rate and the Bos-
ton conditions. The Guyer Co., soon
after securing the label moved its
factory to Philadelphia and insisted
that 1t had a right to work under
the Philadelphia scale, which is lower
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-01-30

than the Boston scale, without any
notice to the union, or without first
securing release from its Boston con-
tract. This was a clear evasion of
obligation and the United Hatters re-
fused to stand for it. Then the en-
ployers' association was called in and
it declared a lockout of all union hat
tiers and discontinuance of the use
of the label unless the Guyer Co. was
allowed to repudiate it's contract with
the Boston branch and work under the
Philadelphia scale.
1t was very plain to the most casual
observer that the Guyer case was used
as a good enough Morgan" by the
employers.
But the United Hatters called the
bluff, and $4,000 union hatters walked
out. THE label is of no value" de-
clared the employers association. "All
right" said the union hatters. IF
you don't want it we'll not force it
on YOU"
And Immediately the ranks of the
employers were broken and individual
employers began signing up and in.
sisting upon being allowed to use the
label.
These are the facts in the case,
briefly stated. The employers were
the ones guilty of violating con-
tract. The employees stood for the
sacredness of the contract.
The daily press, as usual, deceived
the public by throwing the blame on
the union men. 1t remained for the
weekly labor press to dig up the facts
and present the truth to the public.

MANY woRkMEN DROWNED.
Caught on Crib Of City of Chicago
and Driven by Flames to

Caught on Crib OF City of Chicago
and Driven by Flames to
Leap Into Lake.
Forty men employed on the water
works crib. several miles out on Lake
Michigan, jumped into the lake Wed
nesday morning when the crib was
destroyed by fire. When the fire
broke out the men were trapped and
had the alternative of burning to
death on the crib Or risking death in
the water. All took chances with the
lake.
Between sixty and seventy men
| were caught In the crib. Survivors
brought from the crib to Sixty-eighth
street say about fifteen men were
drowned. after holding to the burning
edges of the crib for an hour At
$3.50 a. m. forty-seven men had been
removed from the water about the
crib by tugs. Nearly all were badly
burned and it is feared several will
die.
The crib was temporary and was
used as workshop for laborers dur
ing the construction of an intake tun-
| nal from the shore to a point five
miles out. The tunnel was being
built for the city water department
1t is feared that between six and
thirty men were caught in the tunnel,
with no means of egress, the water
rapidly filling the tunnel.
The crib was wooden, circular in
shape, and had diameter of forty
feet. Its superstructure was twenty
five feet above the surface, which was
used as workshop and sleeping
place. Forty feet below the tunnel
connected with the crib shaft, steam
elevator is used in hosting the men
up and down.
Between sixty and seventy men
were in the crib when the fire started
from an unknown cause, but presum-
ably from an engine which ran
buckets over a cable carrying dirt to
the mainland. A minute after start
ing the crib was a mass of flames.
Many of the sleeping men were
burned severely before awakening.
The engine was put out of commits
escape on the cable. Also it cut tff
all hope of running the elevator and
thus rescuing the men imprisoned In
the tunnel. The men remained on the
crib till the superstructure was al
most destroyed. Many were burned
SO badly they could hardly float when
they jumped into the water.
The latest estimates of the dead
are between twenty and thirty. 1t is
thought about one-third of these were
drowned, while others probably were
horribly burned in the crib. 1t is
estimated that nineteen were caught
like rats in the tunnel running under
the lake from the crib to the shore.
Their fate is unknown, but the tun-
mel is believed to be filled with water.
The difficulty in estimating the dead
is caused by the officials of the COM
pany constructing the crib and tunnel
refusing to give any information as
to the men employed.

THE REASON WHY.

Want to know why labor has such
hard time getting remedial legisla-
ton?
Well, just attend few meetings of
the house committee on railroads at
the Nebraska state house.
The Brotherhood of Railway Train
men is asking for law limiting the
length of freight trains and for a nag
man in addition to two brakemen. Now
adays freight trains of a hundred cars
are not uncommon. A freight train
of one hundred cars is three-quarters
of a mile long. The railroad inspec-
ton of vision on signal requires only
accuracy at 1000 feet. These long
trains are a menace to the life of the
train crews, a menace to the shipping
public and a menace to property.
OF course the railroad managers are
fighting the proposed law.
Well the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen has two representatives on
the ground to urge the passage of the
bill. One of them is freight con-
ductor the other has charge of
switch crew.
And these men receive the wage
scale and their expenses for their work
in behalf of the Brotherhood-say 50
a day and expenses.
But the railroad attorneys who are
on the ground to oppose this just and
humane law receive from $4,000 to
$4,000 year and expenses for their
work.
The Brotherhood men attended the
first hearing to urge the passage of
this bill.
They were opposed by one of the
general attorneys of the Union Pacific,
Chicago & Northwestern, the super
intendent of the Norfolk division of
the Northwestern, the general agent of
the Northwestern at Lincoln, the sup
erintendents of motive power of these
two roads. and score of lesser Off
Gals.
More than that. the chief witness
for the railroad side of the case was
one Macomber. who represents the
Order of Railway Conductors.
For every dollar spent by the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen to
keep men in Lincoln to look after
just and humane laws. the railroads
spend two hundred dollars-aye. five
hundred dollars-to defeat those just
and humane laws.
Do you begin to see?
OF course the railroads have the
most money. And they are wise
enough to spend it in securing brains.
The trades unionists expect to pick
out a man any old time, pay him a
mechanics wage. and have him wrest
victory from the trained legal lights
and the willy lobbiests of the corpora
tions.
II is to laugh!
Some of these days-maybe-we'll
get a glimmer of sense into our brain
pans. Then we'll proceed to especially
train few men so they can go against
the best of them.
And some day we'll have sense
enough to get together and keep to-
gether, instead of scrapping amongst
ourselves.
Maybe!
