a story of the methods

This is a story of the methods
of the Chicago newspaper trust
methods as cruel and as heartless
as those that have made the Steel
Trust and the Standard Oil Trust
notorious.
When the newspaper pressmen
were locked out, Frank Long, IA
years old, began selling Worlds
from the sidewalk under the
Northwestern railroad tracks
near the Central Avenue station
on the Oak Park L.
At that time L. K. Anderson
owned the trust newspaper mo
nopoly for the stand in the "L"
station itself.
Young Long prospered. He
made from $12 to SIS a week.
The World began to go into
its decline. The city council pass
ed the ordinance requiring all
newsboys to sell all papers on de-
mand. Long began selling trust
papers as well'as Worlds.
Still he was prosperous, be-
cause the residents of the neigh
borhood liked him and bought
their papers from him rather than
from Anderson.
The World went under. Long
continued to sell trust papers
from his bitterly cold stand on
the sidewalk and to make on an
average $40 a week.
One month ago, Anderson sold
out his L station stand monopoly
to George c. Spellman for S.,
500.

STRAINT OF MANHOOD
neighborhood buying Examiners.
The boy went to the trust
newspaper circulators and asked
why he did not get his papers.
This is what he says he was told:
You'd better sell out to Spell
man. You can't make money
here any more because we won't
give you papers. Sell out to Spell
man while you've got a chance.
He'll treat you right"
The boy went to Spel1man.
Spellman offered the boy S135
for all the good will of the job
that was bringing the boy in $40
week, and a salary under him of
$40 a month.
The boy was forced to accept
the offer. He could do nothing
else, since he could not get
papers. But see what had hap
pened:
A boy was earning $40 week.
He was learning how to do bust
ness. He was learning the true
meaning of independence, and he
was helping out his family. He
was liked by the neighborhood,
and his business was growing
steadily.
Now he is earning $40 a month
working for another man, and has
practically no chance of better
ing himself, practically no chance
of getting on, little chance of
helping his family.

business instincts, have been

REPORT OF PLUTUS
DEAL BEING HEARD

There is a persistent II rather hazy Inn
preston prevailing In local mining circles
that there is deal on for the acquisl-
ton OF the control of the Piutus property
OF Tintic One reflection OF this report
during the past few DAYS has been stiff
fleming OF the stock on the local eXcha nge.
Just what company or interests are
seeking the Plutus has not been ascer-
tained but the rumor that the property
is desired by strong interests Is some-
thing that will not down.
The PIutus Is one of the finest located
propositions OF the Tintic district. and
the control is with the David Evans in
terests OF California The knights are
large shareholders and are represented
on the board of directors The property
at the present time is not being op..
Grated. The group Is one OF the largest
In Tintic while il adjoins such splendid
as the Mammoth. Grand
Central, Victoria, Godva and Chief Con-
soIdated. and it is stated that the re-
cent developments on the Mammoth
property have materially enhanced the
prospects OF the Plutus.
The Plutus. said one Tintlc operator
on Tuesday. is an lilustra ton OF the un-
touched opportunities OF Eureka. No
spot In the district can be termed
worked out until 1t has been blocked out
and probed in spaces Il few feet apart
There are so many opportunities await
