Heart of Salt Lake City in Daylight.
Salt Lake City.-On the stairway of
the Commercial club building, two
men attempted to rob Cashier Sweet
of the Pullman company at S:15
o'clock Saturday morning. The very
boldness and unexpectedness of the
attack came near causing the success
of the plans of the robbers. Mr..
Sweet attempted to put up a fight
when ordered to throw up his hands,
and was struck over the head with
the revolver His cries, however,
scared the hold-ups away, and they
failed to get the 81 900 on the person
of thair intended victim.

Sound Advice To Strikers

Commendable advice was sent out by
President Hawley to each member Of
the swiichmen's union--'.to keep away
from the company's property, obey the
law. commit no act Of violence nor do
anything that will reflect discredit upon
himself or the organization" If the
striking swltchmen win, victory must be
achieved along these lines.
When great labor organization and
vast railroad systems cIaeh the public
involun'ariiy becomes third party ia
the contest. Its losses may, indeed, be
greater than those suffered by the rail-
roads and strikers. The public, there
fore, will sit in keen judgment and weigh
closely the merits Of this strike. AS the
case was put to the public by the official
statements Of the striking switchmen
and the railroads, the strikers appear to
have-made tactical and moral mistake
by refusing to arbitrate under the
Erdman act Of congress.
The railroad officials charge the
switchmen's committee with violation of
good faith-that after agreeing to arbi-
tration under the law, with Commits
sioner Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission and G. 2. Neill, United
States commissioner of labor, as arbi-
traitors, the switchmen's committee
issued strike order without the know
ledge of the railroad managers commit.
tee or the proposed mediators. The
railroads further charge that when Mr..
Knapp aud Mr.. Neill demanded that
the controversy be submitted to arbitra-
ton the managers committee gave its
willing assent but the switchmen abso-
lutely declined it,"
President Hawley's statement to the
public is silent upon this point of arbi-
tration and is not as specific as it should
be upon the merits Of the switchmen's
In conflicts of this nature, where the
public is an unwilling sufferer, the
people naturally insist that fair arbitra-
ton shall be tried before a strike ls
ordered by union or a lockout resofted
20 by the company.

Why 1t Pays To Advertise.

There is an impression prevalent with
a great many business men that any
money spent with the local newspapers
is only donation and nothing comes
back to them. Such contention is not
true, and great many of the men max
ing such statements have received bene-
fit from the newspapers for which no
credit is given. The news of each and
every industry started is given promin-
ent place. Every item that will boost
any business man is cheerfully written
up and circulated among the citizens
with whom the business man hopes to
get business. The advertisements in
that paper are given a reading by a large
percentage of the readers who, when
they go into a store do not rush up to
the proprietor and say''1 saw your adj
vertisement in the paper" They mere
ly 20 in and get the article advertised
and 90 out with never a thought of the
business mans skepticism about adver-
tising. The following letter is printed
with the purpose OF showing the value
of the newspaper in giving the home-
seekers clear view of conditions:
