PLANS SUBMITTED
FOR INSANE HOME
Architect Kaufman Turns Ov-
er Drawings to County
Commissioners.
NO FINAL ACTION TAKEN
BEFORE ACCEPTING THEM THE
BOARD WILL CONSULT COUNTY
COUNCIL, JUDGE FOX AND THE
CHARITY BOARD.

Plans, which architect W. S. Kauf-
man was ordered to prepare. by the
old board of county commissioners,
for the insape institution. which will
be constructed, either at the county
farm or on the site adjoining the coun-
ty Jail, for the care of the insane pa
tients, which state institutions can
not provide for, were submitted in de-
tailed form to the new board Of coun-
ty commissioners yesterday after
noon
Inasmuch as the commissioners
wish to obtain the approval of Judge
Fox of the circuit court. the county
board Of charities and corrections,
and the county council, before accept.
ing the plans, the board simply re-
viewed them and placed them on file.
In the meantime others, who are also
interested in the proposition OF new
insane quarters will be consulted by
the commissioners.
Estimate Of the Cost.
BY the time Of the meeting of the
county council in special session.
about January Is. the commissioners
will have determined whether or not
to accept the plans. Mr.. Kaufman, in
explaining the plans to the board,
stated that a building. such as the
plans called for. could be constructed
for approximately $4,000. The mat
ter of appropriating money to meet
this expenditure will be considered by
the county council at its next meet
ing Equipment and furnishings
would be additional.
Mr.. Kaufman's plans call for a
building approximately IS feet long
with sixteen rooms for patients. Eight
Of these rooms will be on the lower
floor, which will be used for quarter
ing male insane while the other
rooms win be located on the second
floor for use of women patients. The
general plan of the ward is the same
as that for the cottages for insane at
state institutions. The building will
be brick and two stories high. No
dining room is provided. for in the
event the ward is located at the coun-
ty farm, the patients will be taken
to the large dining room of the in
f1rmary building.

Comparison Of Receipts.
Total go. $SS,32926 $75.S1S.7S



The gain in business for the year
was $12,51O.4S. In reviewing the fore
going comparison it will be seen that
there was not a month during the past
year but what the business was greater
than for the corresponding month of
1903. The gain in business is truly
remarkable and it is doubted If there
is private enterprise in the city
which can show any better per cent
of business increase. In view Of this
statement, the camp of those who have
contended all along that a municipal
ity can not run its business with the
same degree Of business perfection
that an individual can, will be cast in
to gloom.
In 1909 the expense for pay roll was
$16,06O.OS while in 1908 it was $16,-
s77.69. Coal to operate the plant dur
ing the past year cost, $15,061.4S. as
against $14.772.67 in 1908. Last year
oil cost $S42.91 and the year before
$45994. The item for interest and
commission was the same in both
years. It was $5,7672o. Insurance
premiums on the plant and equipment
during 1909 cost s405.6s as against
$54O in 1908. The office expense dur
ing the past year was $7SS.02 but no
account of this was made in 1908. 1t
being included in the miscellaneous
account, which for 1909 was $2,429 as
against $2.934.56 in 1908. The total
operating expenses in 1909 were $42,-

duction Of $1.054s9 in favor Of the
last year.
Other Expense Items.
Transformers cost $1.423.02 in 1909
as against $2.252.03 for 1908. Meters
cost $4.S57.22 last year. and $4,111.67
in 1908. The purchase OF wire in 1909
amounted to 32.635.10 and to $3.495.32
In 1908. The expense account listed
as purchases for sundry equipment
for 1909 were $1,57S.ss and to $2.216.sS
the previous year. The total equip.

THE UNION WAY.
Merely a Sample of What Union Men
are Doing Every Day

a few weeks ago the widow Of a for
mer Stockton, >Calif., union man, had
the misfortune to lose her little home
by fire, leaving her and her four little
children without a roof to shelter them.
OF course they might have appealed to
the organized charity organization. Or
they might have gone to the poor
house. But that was not necessary.
The unionists of Stockton rallied to
her assistance and bought the material
necessary for a new cottage. Then the
bricklayers laid the foundation, the car
penters erected the superstructure, the
lathers lathed it, the plasterers plaster
ed it and the painters and paperhangers
finished up. Within less than a month
after the widow s home had been de-
stroyed she and her little flock were
snugly domiciled under a new roof, all
their own.
We can Imagine what would happen
if somebody went to that little woman
and undertook to tell her the beauties
of the 'open shop and the dangers Of
trades unions. Also we would like to
have due notice whenever unorganized
labor of the ''free and independent
Post Eliot Parry brand perform work
similar to that of the union men of
Stockton.

CUISINES ADMINISTRATION.
This is the Kind That Would just Suit
Union Busters.

Business men in America need an
administration that will guarantee to
them increased profits in all lines Of
industry.
For this purpose we require the
election OF men who may be depended
upon not to pass any laws that will
interfere with
L. The right to employ women and
children, who are cheaper than grown
men.
. The light to run our mines, rail
roads and factories as long hours as
we find profitable.
s. The right to adulterate, misbrand
or poison our goods or give as short
weight as market conditions will per
nit.
4. The right to charge such prices
as we see fit for such goods or service
as we choose to give.
5. The right to operate houses Of
prostitution wherever we find them
profitable.
6. The right to use such mae ch1nery
and factory arrangements as we see
fit, regardless of the killing or manning
of an occasional employe.
Z. The right to import cheap labor
from Asia or any other place where we
can find workers who may be depended
upon not to form unions or ask for
living wages.
We also require an administration
! that can be depended upon to supply
us with troops and strike breakers
whenever our employees need to be
taught their places.
And which will be prompt to use
the army and navy to conquer markets
for our goods in any part Of the world

STRANGE, VERY STRANGE.
Why Should Union Men Oppose the
"Open Shop System?

y The advocates Of the "open shop
often wonder why members of the
labor unions so persistently stick by
their own organizations instead of
meeting their employers in an "open
shop Sunday school class, with
friendly exchange of courtesies on
each side. 1t would be so nice, and
so profitable all around. These phil
anthropists finally conclude that it is
just perversness of human nature
that makes the union man fight the
"open shop
If the "open shop" would give
seven and a half hours a day, six dol
liars pay and Saturday afternons off
with full pay. perhaps the union man
would be tempted to abandon his own
organization for the "open shop
Sunday school class, but the "open
shop is not built that way. Sooner
or later the hours are heightened, gen
orally sooner. Sooner or later the
wages are lowered, generally right
away. Sooner or later lot of cap
prer'tices" are set to doing one thing
MeNieans- cheap - put to
doing all that is possible. Then peo-
pie wonder why the union man hates
the "opdp shop Such "a strange
thing, this attachment to a labor
union!-Portland Labor Press.

SWALLOWING THEIR CuD.

1t will be good reading to learn just
how far the Anti-Boycott Association
will go in it's attack on the Buck s
Stove and Range Company of St.
Louis. AS is known, this concern is
at peace with the labor movement, but
the A. B. a. doesn It believe in peace.
It has vigorously resented the firm s
undoubted right to do as it thinks best
in the premises-in other words, it
trots out the very plan it pretends
to denounce.-San Francisco Labor

MISS HALEY WON.

Margaret A. Haley, business agent
Of the Chicago Teachers Federation,
and organizer of the No Vote No Tax
League, few days ago undertook the
role of attorney in behalf of the poor
men and women Of Oak Park, ILL.,, who
were taxed too heavily on personal
property, in the justice court Of Henry
D. Schumacher, Of River Forest. Miss
Haley came off victorious, having out
witted completely the Vaccinations of

THE ONLY ONE.

So far as The Wageworker knows
S. R. McKelvie is the only candidate
on the legislative ticket who is an
employer of union labor. Mr.. Nickel
vie is editor and publisher of the Ne
braska Farmer, and the Farmer print
cry is union from top to bottom. The
office has contracts with both the
Typographical and Pressmen s Unions.
A vote for McKelvie is a vote for a
progressive young man, a vote for a
friend of organized labor, and vote
for a "booster who really boosts.

About 1000 to 5000 bales of Indian cotton
have been brought into this country and
distributed in small trial lots to various
Southern mills Although it has proved
satisfactory, in the opinion of some of
the leading cotton men of this city. the
fact has no special significance. and is
not likely to occur again. The same
authority explains that this importation
is undoubtedly due to the high prices
and small crop of American cotton and
the extra large supply of good Indian
cotton.
Indian cotton is used for course yarns
because of it's short staple. % to q of an
inch. and is good and clean. In the
rough It is mixed with American cotton
and used for blankets.
The American spinning machines are
not as close set as those used in other
countries, hence outside of India Indian
cotton finds better market In Europe and
Japan than in America.
James H. Spencer an American who is
in the importing business in Santiago,
Chile, and whose father went down there
TO found the business As years ago. is In
this city, and he says he has come up to
show Just why American manufacturers
do not compete in South America with
. h. Itch md tla
tent they ought to.
"If our capitalists and our manufac-
turers would dedicate the time, attention
ana money TO steamships, to banks, and
to looking into South American condi-
tions that the Germans. English and Eu-
ropeans do generally, they would get all
the trade they desired down there said
Mr. Spencer. LAS it is the Europeans
have been for many years meeting the
conditions exacted by the South Ameri-
can governments and the public, and
they have profted.
'As for shipping, the Americans know
little about the export business. They
turn over their consignment to an ex-
press or a steamship company, get a lit
tie receipt for 1t. and expect 1t to go Its
destination all right, whereas it Is the
case that no goods can be extracted
from the customs down there without
consular invoice and Dill or laulng,
Then the American shipper knows
nothing about packing, apparently. He
packs for local business and for short
transportation. After journey of 10'oV
miles his packages arrive with the con-
tents either smashed or stolen. To my
mind the German diplomatic service Is
managed on basis that Is superior tc
that OF any other country. In all its lega-
tons are commercial attaches, who dc
nothing but visit around In the trades
studying conditions and getting samples
and send voluminous reports back nome
where they are distributed to the manu-
facturers These make special STUD,
of the requirements of the country tt
which they are going TO ship, and thf
result is that they send the South Amer
icar merchants what they want, and the
orders are repeated"
