cry, "On to Washington" is heard

Attention Is attracted to the tenn
perance question by the rumor that
John B. Lennon, treasurer of the A.
f. Of L., will become identified
with Rev. Chas. Stelzle, labor COM
missioner of the. Presbyterian
church, and the Anti-Saloon league
to advance prohibition.
1t is said John Mitchell and other
prominent laborites will assist in
his campaign.

6 The Pennypacker administration
left Pennsylvania as monuments
the "Cossacks" and the press muz-
zler act, which made the state the
laughing stock of the country. In
1907 all the teeth of the mueller
law were withdrawn but the one re-
curing papers to print the several
names of their owners and editors.
County Prosecutor Dickey,
Urged by the exchange, the volun-
tary agent of the steel trust, cast
about for measures to suppress
the two papers. He lighted on
the mueller law. He saw the
papers were not complying with
the act. And so he arrested the
IL editors. The maximum penalty
in each case is a 500 fine.

according to the report the pro-

OPPRESSIVE RESTAURANT RULES :: !: !:
REPORTED DRIVING WATERS OUT
Fines and Poor Meals Offer Little Attraction to Men Of
Self-Respect. y

Because of indignities which res
taurant keepers are heaping upon
them under oppressive rules it is
said by officers of the Walters
union that many of the restaurant
employees are quitting the profess
sion and that it is almost impossi-
BILE to fill vacancies in various
eating houses with union help. In
some of the places it is declared to
be against the rules for the hefp
to eat any of the pastry, with
meals furnished them as a part
of the pay for their work, without
paying extra for it. In more places
the help is by no means given the
luxuries furnished to the general
trade and seldom are they per-
mitted to indulge in a meal Ordi-
narily salable for more than %
cents.
The mistake OF using a soiled
napkin in place of a side towel at
the Davenport restaurant means a
fine of SO cents off the walters
wages, it Is declared; talking to
any one In the room aside from
answering common questions is al
legged to be equally expensive to
the employee, and failure to turn
in a checking book is punishable
with dollar fine, they affirm.
In the White hotel. 1t is declared
that much of the time the walters
are not permitted to eat eggs, the
alleged plea being that they are
too expensive, and walters no
longer employed there say that
generally means plain steak or
roast beef three times day. 1t is
reported that one of the proprietors
of the Pedicord cafe attempted to
charge the price of a sandwich up
