UNGRATEFUL EMPLOYEES

The American Sugar Refining
Company, which made millions out
of sugar for the Havermeyers, is
now at war with it's employees over
the wage question.
1t seems that this good trust has
very ungrateful employees, indeed.
They have been laboring for ten
hours a day for the munificent sum
of eighteen cents an hour, and had
the nerve to demand raise in
wages Of two cents per hour!
Just think of it. This trust, kept
in existence by high tariff, and late
ly has been convicted by the govern
ment of cheating in their weights
and made to pay thousands of dol
lars back into the U. S. treasury for
defrauding the government-for
stealing from the people-has men
in it's employ who are so unkind
that they demand enough wages
out of the big profits made by the
trust to be able to support their
families in exchange for their labor.
Our republican friends tell us
that such infant industries" like
the sugar trust, must be protected
by high tariff, so they can meet the
high demand(?) of labor in this
country.
Eighteen cents an hour for work.
ing in a living hell, which is a good
description of the Brooklyn factory
of the sugar trust, in order to al
low the stockholders to receive div
idends to pay their expenses while
travelling abroad.
Another kick made by these un-
grateful employees is the demand
that they should not be compelled
to pay the foremen in the factory
when they apply for job. How is
that for an American idea? In or
der to get work the workman must
first give up a fee to the company's
foreman.
Another demand by the aforesaid
ungrateful employees. They insist
that they be not punished for re-
fusing to buy beer or whiskey for
their foremen. Wouldn't that thrall
you? Furnishing American work
men because they refuse to rush
the can for the foremen.
What a beautiful chance for some
of our Stafford prohibitionists to get
busy and put the sugar trust out of
business.
If ever there was a combination
Of capital organized for selfish pur-
poses at the expense of the people,
we have it in the American Sugar
Refining Company. Yet it could
not exist if it were not for the re-
publican high tariff, which protects
the high class thief and robs the
poor workman.

When one girl sees another with
buttons up and down her waist and
skirt, she longs above all else for a
chance to count them.
Probably the most uncomfortable
experience in the world is when two
people who do not like each other,
get together and talk things over. :"
Ever think seriously of the fact
that some day you must die? Do
you not think you are such fav-
orite, a new rule will be made in
your case?

On Tuesday citizens desiring to con- tribute money in aid of the chappell family asked The Bulletin to act as custodian Of the sums offered, and as there is desire to help in this sad and deserving case The Bulletin has decided to accept any contributions citizens may make and deliver the same to the family.
 Edward Burnett Chappell. whose sudden death on Monday was report ed in The Bulletin. was the sole de- pendence of sick mother. and the brave fight he made to support the family while he got an academic edu- cation was told in Tuesdays Bulletin.
 It is apparent enough that the case is both worthy and urgent, and it is not surprising that citizens have felt in their hearts that a helping dollar is better than a sympathetic word on this occasion.
 The Bulletin sulbscrfbes $50 for the family, and is ready to receive any subscriptions that may be sent in. which it will duly acknowledge in its columns.

As there will be without doubt as many dogs licensed this year as there was last, which is in the neigh borhood of 2.000, the issuance of licenses will have to be done by Town Clerk Hol- brook at the rate of 160 day in order to have them all in in time. Thus far only 400 have been registered and tag ged for this year, leaving 1900 to come in. This indicates that there will be a waiting line for the next ten days at the town clerks office.

 Supt. Frederick Symington of the Backus hospital spoke upon the free dispensary connected with the insti- tuition. He stated that the hospital had not been opened a year when the board of directors wanted to extend the work and bring the hospital to the poor people In 1904 the dispensary was opened for two hours in the afternoon for general diseases and in addition for eye and Gar treatment from g to II every Friday morning. Soon after it was opened for women and children'S diseases for an hour.
 In 1908, the question of moving the dispensary to the center of the city came up. It was pitiful to see the many sick people who applied for treatment The dispensary was nov ed to lower Washington street. which entailed additional expense, but in the first year 92 more cases were treated there than during the last year the dispensary was at the hospital In the second year in the new location it further increased in number of cases 9S8 over the first year there. All med icine and surgical dressings are fur nished free. There have been 1850 patients at the hospital and 23,405 vis- it's there.
 When the eye and ear department was opened the different schools were notified that any poor children needing attention to their eyes would be cared for free and glasses furnished them. He didn't think the schools had taken the full advantage of this opportunity.
