AN UNJUST PROCEEDING

When business men, who are will ing to risk their earnings of years of hard labor and sometimes their en- tire possessions to build up their home city and show themselves to be public spirited and progressive, are made to appear in the eyes of the public as men who violate contracts that are not carried out by others, it cannot help but discourage them and put a damper on home pride and pro- gress. Suits are easily filed and and charges are easily put on paper, but the i'll effects from such unwar- ranted proceedings are not soon for gotten, it matters not how honest and upright the accused may be or how high a standing they may enjoy in the community in which they live When petty methods are resorted to to blacken a mans reputation the persons behind them soon come to the end of their scheme and seldom ever meet with success.

tween St. Louis and Fo1t Worth, Texas. The government report shows more than one million head of cattle in this immed ate territory. All this stock would be shipped to Pine Bluff and the packing house products and by products shipped out from the To- cal plant. In addition the new en- terprise will give employment to hundreds of men, many of whom will be skilled laborers who receive big salaries. It will mean added popu- lation and large receipts for business houses and general demand in every line of trade.
 The Arkansas Packing Company agrees in disposing of it's stock not to tspend one centa pf' thei money req lized therefrom for preliminary work, All this expense is being borne by MT. Whitestone and his associates. If the stock awards and packing plant are not built ,the money will be re- funded in full to all stockholders.

To Discuss Text Book Law.

Little Rock, June 14.-A meeting of the State Board of Education is to be held Saturday, among those in attend ance being J. H. Reynolds of the State University; J. w. Kuykendall, of Fort Smith, and l.. P. Anderson, of Marvell. Among other things, the Board is expected to discuss proposed Act No. 4, under the Initiative, for a state text book commission. The teachers and educators of the state almost as unit disapprove the bill as impracticable and vicious, all though they are in favor of state uni formity and state board under prop CT provisions. This bill, proposed by the Federation of Labor and the So- cialists, proposes an elaborate sys- tenn of. election by referendum among the first grade teachers of the state, besides numerous other features that are not considered practical.

No Occasion for Surprise.

This story is told of Forrest, the great tragedian:
 Forrest was playing in Richard H." and the part of Catesby had to be taken by a low comedian, who saun tered on the stage at the wrong mo- ment and uttered the famous words, "My lord, the duke of Buckingham is taken" in the wrong place.
 Forrest clenched his fists in rage, but otherwise took no notice of the remark.
 Later on the comedian repeated the words in the right place, and when the king expressed surprise at the news Catesby folded his arms, walk ed boldly down the stage, and re- marked to the great actor in loud tones:

RAILROAD WAGES AND COST OF LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES
 AND EUROPE.

The Bureau of Railway Economies has completed the second Of its comparative studies of railway con- ditions in the United States and the principal countries of Europe. Th's relates to the wages paid railway employees and the cost of living, and is based on the latest years for which comparative data are available.
 The average daily compensation of railway employees of all classes for the year 1910 was in the United States, $2.23; in the United King dom, $1.05; excluding supplementary allowances negligibly affecting the average, it was in Prussia-Hesse Sl cents, and i'll Austria S9 cents. The lowest paid railway employee in the United States, the ordinary trackmap receives a greater compensation than many of the railway employees oi France, even those of higher grades and with responsible duties. The compensation of railway employees is from two to three times as high i the United States as in Italy.
 recent report of the Englisi Board of Trade on railway wagei shows that the average weekly pay c enginemen in the United Kingdom in 1907 was SILT; of firemen, $6.67 Tn the same year enginemen or American railways received an aver age weekly compensation of $23SS9 counting six8days' to the week, Nant firemen $15.24.

HELP BUILD UP PINE BLUFF

The reorganization of the Arkan- sas Packing Company, which came about yesterday at the request of President Simon Whitestone and Treasurer J. F. Black, brings the packing house and stock yards closer to home and the substitution of P. P. Byrd and M. E. Bloom to those offices and the addit on of J. F. Me Intyre to the official personsel in the capacity of first vice president, means that new local confidence will be given the enterprise.
 There has already been enough stock subscribed fer at par to insure the establishment of the packing house and stock yards here, but tc demonstrate to the outside world that Pine Bluff;ans are public spirited and progressive and believe in boost ing home enterprises the directors are anxious to include more local citizens on their stock subscriptio lists. They will send out a comm t. tee the coming week to dispose oi some stock and will ask local busi. ness men to take one or more share of stock. Their names as stockhold- CTS are desired as testimonial o the value of the undertaking and tt show that Pine Bluffians have con fidence in the proposed plant.
 The packing house and stock yard' will be one of the biggest business Retters the c'ty building institutions that Pine Bluff could get. It is de serving of the support, financial ant moral, of every business man in tn city and the men behind it should b' encourage and assisted financially D. their home people.

specific runs that are two, three and four times as high as the correspond ing rates on representative English railways The annual compensation of enginemen in the United States, as reported by. two representative rail- way companies, now ranges from $1,- 100 in switching service to over $1,700 in passenger service.
 For Continental Europe official re- turns in requisite detail are not avail able for a later year than 1908. The salaries and allowances of the typical engineman in Germany amounted for that year to $646.SS. in Austria to $870.8O; of a fireman in Germany to 424.59 in Austria to $532.O3. The annual compensation of enginemen on two of the principal railways of France ranged in 1908 from $505.66 to $906.91, and of firemen from $324.24 to $595.98. In Italy engine men received in 1908, salary and al lowances included, from $581.10 to $812.7O a year; firemen, from $330.30 to $475.05 a year. In these Contin- ental countries the maximum compen- sation is received only after many years of service.
 The average annual compensation of enginemen in the United States ill 1908, on an estimated basis of 300 days service, was $1,335; of fire men, $792. In this country the rate of compensation to these employees does not depend on length of service.
 In Belgium ,enginemen received in 1907 from $2s.16 to s3S.ao a month; firemen, from $17.37 to $23.16 a month; conductors and station em- ployees, from 46 cents to 96 cents a day. In the United States, in the same year 1907, enginemen averaged on the basis of 25 days service, $107.50 a month; firemen, $63.50 a month; conductor, $3.69 day; stat ion employees, from $1.7S to $2.o5 day.
 The rental of three or four room house or flat is almost as high ill Berlin, Paris or London as through out the United States, but in England and on the Continent it generally runs from thirty dollars to ninety dollars year less. The quantity of food and fuel estimated by the Board of Trade of England as the standard consumption of typical working mans family costs in the United States 17.8 per cent more than i'll France or Germany; 353 per cent more than in Belgium, and SS per cent more than in the United King dom.
 It is we'll within the truth to esti- mate a broad and general way that while the cost the cost of living of railway employee in the Knitted States is less than fifty per cent higher than that of corresponding employed in the United Kingdom or on the Continent, his compensation aver ages over twice as great.
