losophy, wit and advice were com,
mingled in the remarks of Andrew
Carnegie at banquet given in his
honor at the California club by the
chamber of commerce. Carnegie said:
II believe that a man who dies with
millions should forfeit one-half to the
state"
The ironmaster declared against the
income tax, calling it a lie breeder
Continuing, he said:
There have come upon us combi
nations. They are bound to exist
We must accept combination as law
of the age.
"We are bound to have regulation
or the consumer has no chance.
"A judge who would sit in case in
which he is interested would be dis
honorable.
"A corporation cannot be allowed te
fix its own laws.
II 1 may TURN prophet TOT mo

these gamblers. do not consider
that they should be recognized.
II do not believe in an income tax
MY plan Is simpler and better. Ar

they can in their lifetime, but wheT
they die let the state take halt Of it
That is a pretty good dividend"

THOUSANDS OF MEN
RETURNING TO WORK
Philadelphia General Strike Rap
Idly Breaking Up.

Philadelphia, March 25.-The disin.
tegration Of the general sympathetic
strike called to aid the trolleymen Of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit com
pany continues. Hundreds of mill
hands In the textile industries re.
turned to work. In addition building
operations, which were tied up by the
general walkout. were resumed in
many parts of the city. Workmen in
other industries also are going back
more slowly.
The one conspicuous exception ia
the Amalgamated Society Of Carpen.
ters and Joiners, which Is still holding
Its men out and expects to keep them
out until the car strike is ended. The
Associated Carpenters, rival organi.
zatiOn, has returned to work, having
made new agreement, which is said
to be of advantage both to the mem.
bers and the employers.
With the statewide strike only q
remote possibility and because OF the
break up OF the general sympathetic
movement in this city the motormen
and conductors are standing almost
alone, but have resolved to continue
the fight until the traction officials
come to terms. The carmen expect
to receive financial aid from members
of all labor unions that have returned
to work and, ii expectations are real
lied, hope to keep UP the strike almost
indefinitely.
The traction company continues to
increase its car service. All the lines
are now going. but operations in some
sections are quite limited.

PACKERS MAY
co TO PRISON
Sever Face Charge Of Vic.
lati1g Injunction.
SIMILAR TO LABOR CASE

OF 1908 Alleged Against Beef Barons
In Bill In Equity Now Before Court.
Corporations involved Subject to
Fines Limited Only by the Mercy Of
the Trial Judge.
Chicago, March 25.-Prison SEN
tences for the big packers may be
the result of the federal grand jury
investigation just completed, even
though they were not named in the
indictment returned.
For, while mere money fines for
corporations form the maximum pen-
atty possible in the criminal suit, a
jury finding for the state in the civil
suit admits of the infiiction of money
nnes OF any extent on corporations
and individuals and penitentiary SEN
tences of any extent on individuals.
These fines and sentences may be
inflicted as punishment for the vio-
lation of the Grosscup Injunction.
The bill in equity filed Monday in
the United States circuit court, based
on evidence heard by the grand jury,
charges fragrant violations of the
Grosscup injunction. If the allega-
tions in it are proved in court, and
the men who signed it, Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham and District Attor-
ney Sims, and the man who swore to
1t, Assistant District Attorney Wilker-
son, are confident that they can be
proved, citations for contempt for vio-
lations of the injunction issued in
1903 will be in order.
Gompers Case Precedent.
There is no precedent for sentenc-
ing men to jail for violation of the
Sherman antitrust act by direct GRIM
inal proceedings, but the case of Com
pers and Mitchell has set a precedent
for the sentencing of men to Jail for
the violation of an injunction based
on it.
Not all the defendants to the original
Grosscup Injunction, nor to the pres
ent bill in equity stand thus in dan
ger, but only those who are defendants
to both suits. The men who have this
distinction are: Edward Morris, j.
Ogden Armour, Louis F. Swift, Arthur
Meeker, Thomas j. Connors, Law
renee A. Carton and Edward G. Swift.
The corporations which are parties
to both suits, and which will therefore
be subject to fines limited only by the
mercy Of the court il found guilty of
the practices charged in the recently
fled bill, are: Swift & Co., Armour &
Co., Hammond Packing company and
G. H. Hammond Packing company.
Although the government officials
refused to be interviewed on the sub.
ject there is little doubt that this is
the result aimed at by the double bar
relied procedure.

What wages does God literally give

What do church members deserve
around doing nothing. i'll Gods vine
yard, when there is so much work to

BY what method today, is God in
viting men to work in ais vineyard?
Verses SLIDES this parable teach
that there is no advantage in starting
to work early in Gods vineyard, and
if not, what Is the principle involved
in the fact that they were all paid a
penny?
Which should give true workman
the greater satisfaction, and why, hay
ing put in full days work, for fair
days pay, or being paid nine-tenths
more than he really earned9
When a laborer works exclusively
for his pay, and does not take delight
in his work, doing as much, and do
ing It as good as he can, in what class
spiritually?
If mechanic, sculptor, must
clan, a lawyer, doctor, or any other
kind of worker, thinks more Of his
pay than of his work, how would he
likely rank in point Of ability among
his fellow craftsmen?
When does God reckon with the
,aborers in his vineyard?

the first in merit, why should the

England and which enrolls nearly

reached Council Bluffs Four scout
patrols were organized at the close
of the Sunday school hour at the
Broadway Methodist church Sunday
and the course of training, prescribed
by the National organization of the
Boy Scouts of America, will be taken
up at once. The scout leaders Of the
Broadway church patrols are volun-

have active charge of the scout move

Founder in America.
The boy scout movement which was
started in England more than a year
ago was but recently started in this
country. General Baden Powell OF
Boer war fame is now in this country
assisting in the organization of this
movement.
The organization, laws, methods and
purposes of the boy scouts are simple
and immensely beneficial if properly
carried out. The unit of organization
is the patrol of seven or eight boys
who are under the leadership of an
older boy or young man. The age
limits of the boys are ~ to 10 years
and a leader should be at least
eighteen. A troop consists of all
the patrols of boys recruited from any
one church of other organization.
The laws of the scouts cover the
following points: Honor, loyalty. duty,
and lack of snobbishness,
courtesy, kindness to animals, paren-
tai obedience, cheerfulness, thrift.
Scouts Taught Useful Things.
The method of boy scout work CEN
tiers about the physical training and
the mental development obtained
from close association and conrad
ship with the older leaders. The ac-
tivities of the scouts center around
out of door life.
They are taught how to conduct them
selves in the open air, how to cook, to
read a map, to use an AK, to establish
a camp, row, SWIM run, judge dis
tances and measurements and to
track trail.
