Interesting Characters.

The Kansas City newspaper offers
prize for short stories about inter-

the world is fiat and that wars and
disasters are result of the fact that
we all have wrong notion about
the formation of the land in which
we dwell. W. D, Roberts, aged IS,
now living at New Cambria, has
been justice of the peace about IA
years and was the pioneer mover
in the organization of New Cambria

Poultry Trust Men To Jail.

New York, Aug. 16.-After a bit
terly contested a trial, thirteen
prominent commission merchants
of New York, composing what was
known as the Poultry Trust" were
convicted of conspiracy in restraint
of trade by a jury before Judge
RoSalsky in the Court of General
Sessions yesterday. All were sent
to the Tombs without bail and will
be sentenced tomorrow.
This is the first conviction in
New York under the statute pro-
viding punishment for conspiracy
in restraint of trade and the first
time in the history of the country
that a member of a trust has been
sent to jail. The defendants are
among the leaders in the poultry
commission business in New York.
The convicted merchants are:
Clenon Bishop, Arthur G Dwyer,
Irving V. Dwyer, Solomon Frankell,
Charles 7. Hawk, Charles R. Jewell,

The business of the street railway
company and its employees is to
transport passengers and mail from
one side of the city to the other
The city has developed along the
street car lines and any Interrupt
ton Transportation means paraly-
sis of business. Why should not
eighty thousand people whose bust
ness is paralyzed by a strike have
power to say that business must
not be interrupted while two or
three millions of capital and five
hundred men employed in operat-
ing 1t are settling their disputes?
When other cities come to this
conclusion and say to both capital
and labor: We are not interested in
your fight; settle that between your
selves the best you can; but this
business for which you were created
and for which you are employed
must 60 on when this is done,
the conflicts between capital and
labor on these great transportation
lines will come to an end.
When it is definitely understood
that a strike on a transportation
line will not stop transporting, there
will be fewer strikes.
This is the ground that President
Cleveland took in settling the great
strike in Chicago. He held that the
United States mails must be carried
BY the way, there is a mail box on
every street car in Des Moines, and
there should be one on every street
car in the country. This allows
the government to step In, and,
without aiming to settle the con-
troversy, to say: The work must
be done. The settling. of the con-
troversy is your affair, not ours.
If the city of Des Moines in
settling this street car strike settles
this principle for. the state, then we
shall have made a great advance
in the settlement of controversies
betwixt labor and capital. at least
so far as transportation companies
are concerned. 1t will then be to
the mutual interest of both parties
to get together without seeking to
get an advantage over each other.

The Rights of the Public In a Strike


Company was Of special interest to
the people of that city, and to the
people of the state of Iowa who do
business in that city, especially
farmers in view of the coming state
fair; but the settlement of the
strike interests the people of the
entire United States.
The strike itself was in one sense
over ten cents, two street car fares;
in another sense over the right of
the railroad to enforce discipline
among its employees, and in still
another sense over the right of the
employees to see that no injustice
was done to one of their number.
The facts are briefly these:
A detective employed by the
street railway company, accused a
conductor of knocking down." that
is, pocketing two fares. He was
accused of this openly in the pre-
sence of the passengers; denied it;
lost his temper; called the detective
a liar; and was dismissed. Attempts
were made by the union to secure
a full investigation, but failed
There was no demand, as we under
stand it, for reinstatement of the
conductor, but for an investigation
of the matter. The street railway
company asserted its right to dis
cipline and dismiss any of its en-
ployes, if it saw fit to do so.
Attempts were made by the mayor
of the city, by the council, by the
ministers and other organizations to
secure an adjustment, but all efforts
failed. After two or three days of
this kind of negotiations a strike
was ordered, and on Saturday morn
ing little after midnight it went
into effect. The company had
strike breakers brought from a dis
lance, thoroughly organized and
headed by noted strike breaker.
Not car moved all day Saturday.
A mob gathered in the afternoon
drove the strike breakers from the
car barns to the hotel, from the
hotel to a train. They threw rocks
through the car windows, and in
Vaded the hotel where the strike
breakers were quartered. There
was no serious attempt made by
the police to protect the property
,f the company. 1t was in fact
u.icially announced that it would
noe be protected. There was nc
violence so far as we could learn
on the part of the employees them
selves. The next day the city as
serted the rights of the city as the
predominant partner, secured an
Injunction commanding the union
to rescind the strike order and &c
to work, and restraining the com
pany from interfering with the
men.
This is a new departure In law
or in the administration of law. Il
acts on the basis that the city il
the predominant partner; that while
The street railway company has {
franchise, the gift Of the city, the
full extent of which is in doubt al

The House by the Side of the Road.
By Sam Walter Foss.
There are hermit souls that live
withdrawn
In the peace of their self-content;
Their souls like stars, that dwell
apart
In fellowless armament:
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where highways never ran
But let me live by the side of the
road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side
Of the road,
Where the race of men 60 by
The men who are good, and the
men who are bad,
E.As good and as bad as l.
| would not sit in the scorner's seat
Or hurl the cynics ban
Let.me live in a house.byssssthe side
of the road
And be a friend to man.
4 see from my house by the side
of the road,
By the side of the highway oflife
The men who press on with the ar
dor of hope.
The men who are faint with the
strife,
But l turn not away from their
smiles nor their tears
Both are parts of an infinite plan;
Let me live in house by the side
of the road,
And be a friend of man.
Il know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead,
And mountains of wearisOme
height;
That the road passes on through
the long afternoon
And stretches away to the night;
But still | rejoice when the travel
ers rejoice.
And weep with the strangers that
moan.
Nor live in my house by the side
of the road,
Like the man who live alone.
Let Inc I've il l.. ,ou:A by the
side of the road,
Where the race of men 50 by
They are good, they are bad, they
are weak, they are strong,
Wise and foolish scam l.
Then why should l sit in the scorn-
er's seat,
Or hurl tie cynic's ban
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road,
| And be a friend to man.
