An army of thousand workmen,
mechanics, carpenters, joiners, crib

of laborers of foreign nationality,
stood in the cold, drenching rain IN
two long lines before the pay windows
on the Iowa division of the Water
Power works yesterday afternoon, and
for the most part, they shivered.
But it was worth a SILVER.
1t was an hour and half and in the
fiercest part of the downpour of rain
and sleet that the employees of the
vast works waited for their monthly
pay checks and the water dripped
from the clothing of the waiting
crews. The crowd was a good nat
ured one.
1t would have been curious, yet
fascinating sight for most any one
under cover from the elements to have
viewed the big double lines as they
swayed and pushed and each workman
crept little by little toward the win
dows IN turn receiving the blue slip
in payment for his thirty day services,
after holding UP his round, brass num-
Der check for the paymaster to see.
Then he stepped aside to make room
for the one behind, trodding in the
mud and believing the heavens had
opened to give them cold bath dur
