SLENDER Margaret Knolly, now II you

the Bijou, now more fascinating than ever
astonished all her friends on Broadway the
other day by presenting to their admiring
gaze a sVelt and willowy form in place Of
the plump not TO say fat. outlines with
which she gaily sailed away to new trl-
umphs and foreign shores last January
After a good deal OF diplomatic cross-ex-
animation from interested fat acquaint-
ances the secret was cautiously whispered
TO a few dear friends, with the result that
everybody knows II now. 1t was not ex-
ercise, nor fasting, nor sea air, nor worry
about her new venture that had brought
about this wonderful willowy change in
the charming Margaret; no. none OF those

Margaret. 1T is simply wonderful. II takes

strikes ana Politics.

SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., May 5.-To the
Editor of The Bee: One feature of the
packing house strike just closed in South
Omaha, is, think, deserving of more than
passing interest, and that is the fact that
the strikers belonged to no union, and that
preceding the strike and during the con-
tinuance thereof, there was absolutely no
outsider involved on the part of the strik-
ers. One Of the stock complaints of en-
ployers in time of labor troubles, is that
the trouble is always caused by the
union" Though the union is simply the
men themselves and by outside profess
sional labor agltators," etc. Yet here we
see a strike with no union and no out
siders whatever, and / am glad that for
once the issue may not be clouded and
that the cause may be clearly defined, viz
the starvation wages paid and the broken
time enforced on the men. 1t Is a matter
OF congratulaton that the strike was
settled and that the men won some con-
cessions and their condition Is somewhat
improved. 1t is to be hoped that the en-
ployers in this instance. may be moved
to further amelioration of the mems con-
ditions before the men are driven to force
a part of the concessions that any right
thinking person will admit they should re-
ceive. A wage of 10 cents per hour. even
with steady employment is a pitiful COM
mentary on the American standard OF
living"
That the men should have been compelled
to strike to compel even this meager COM
pensation argues to my mind that there
is something radically wrong with
Industrial conditions at the present
time. Under this system of econom-
les now in force the only way
Of settling industrial dlsagreements is
to fight II OUT. e. strike, and this has
been proven a very unsatisfactory method,
both to employer and employed, not to
mention the innocent bystander," the pub
lie 1t has been suggested that a compul-
sorry arbitration law would settle the mat
ter of strikes, but this is open TO question.
/ believe that as long as the workers are
compelled to work with no voice in deter
mining their compensation. that even an
arbitration law would be futile. And under
our present political system the chances
Of a public board of arbitration being
simply the tools Of the employing class, is
so great as 10 amount TO a practical GER
tainty.
1t is a regretabe condition, but the his
tory OF labor legislation has been that ii
has always fallen short OF expectations, TO
state the case mildly, Is the fault with the
system under which we are operating? A
great and growing political party answers
in the affirmative and my observation is
that many not only Of the working class
but of other classes of society are becom-
ing imbued with the philosophy Of this new
political faith and that the real strength
OF the movement is measured in only a
fractional degree by the vote heretofore
cast by the party recognized as the medium
OF this political creed believe the par
ties now in power are in trial In the

BREED NEEDS ASSISTANCE
Shows City Officials There is More In

CoNNELL PRAISES HIS WORK
Says "Doc" a. Just the Kind of "a
Man Needed 10 Keep Diseased
Cattle Being slaughtered
for Food.

c. s. CDocD Breed is trying as hard as
he knows how TO let go OF the position OF
assistant city veterinarian and slaughter
house inspector. Health Commissioner Con-
nell does not want to let him go-and Breed
10 stiT working.
Hes just the kind Of man ! want on
that Job" said Dr. Connell. "He is in dead
earnest and after experimenting in every
way he tells me frankly no one man can
inspect the cattle before and after killing
at the Independent packing plants in South
Omaha. lie not only tells me this, but
proves It.
"Dr. Breeds reports to this office show
that during the month OF April he con-
demned and sent to the rendering tanks
twenty-eight head of stoch. one day ne
condemned seven. another day five, and a
third day three Nothing could better
prove the great necessity for the strictest
kind Of inspection Of those plants, to pro-
tect the people Of Omaha against tainted
meat.
Independents Buy Heavily.
During the month of April no less than
1,42s head Of stock were handled and killed
by the independent packers from the stock
yards alone. They also buy from farmers.
and must get a good many more in that
idea OF the extensive operations Of the in
dependent packers. If we handled these
houses on the government plan it would
take four or five men to attend to the
work. As II is, / am now sure the only
thing we can do is to employ an assistant
for Or. Breed, because he has shown by
diligent effort that one man cannot possibly
attend to the work in proper shape. and
we don't want any merely perfunctory in
specton. II we did. we couldn't have DIR.
Breeds services. because he refuses to play
at inspection. lie tells me that on one
particular day recently he found this con-
dltiOn: At $50 in the afternoon one house
had seventeen head yet to be killed, a sec
ond had thirty head awaiting slaughter
and third house had eight head yet to
be disposed of
II know that DR.. Breed has been on
the job as early as $3.50 in the morning,
and surely from that time until o'clock in
the afternoon makes a sufficiently long
day for any man to work. He also frankly
says that II the city cannot go about the
work right 1t had better be discontinued
until we can. But that's just what 1 want
to avoid. and l believe public sentiment
will be solidly behind the city council if
1t takes steps to have the inspection prop
eriy continued
Dr. Breed himself was reticent in talking
until he knew his superior had been seen,
but he makes it plain that he does not
want to hold the job merely to draw the
salary. He wants it understood that unless
the inspection can be made in the right
way he does not want to be responsible for
1t at all.
incidentally, 1t may be mentioned that
since taking the job Of inspector DR..
Breed has ordered improvements at the
independent plants that have involved an
expense of about $1,000 to the owners.
