COTTON BELT AGAIN
CUTS SALARIED MEN
SaIaried Men Notified They Will BE
Given Monthly Lay-Off of Four
Days without Pay, Instead OF
Three as Last Month.

Cotton Belt engineers and firemen
are understood to be standing almost
as a unit in favor of striking in the
event the demands of $4,000 engineers
and firemen on ninety-eight railroads
west of the Mississippi river are not
granted by the railway managers. II
is also stated that $50 men employed
in Arkansas by the Iron Mountain are
about solid for a strike.
The demands of the engineers and
firemen for better wages and changes
in working conditions were presented
to the railway managers last year,
and fer several months committee
conferred at Chicago in the effort to
reach an agreement. The represen-
tatives of the engineers and firemen
finally sought postponement OF
further discussion until they could
submit to the men two propositions
to accept the offer of the railway
managers or strike in the effort to en-
force compliance with their demands.
The vote of the $4,000 men on the
ninetv-eight lines is said to be almost
unanimous for a strike.
The railway managers have, until
July Is to meet the demands of the
men, if strike is to be averted.
Increase Idle Period.
Salaried men of the Cotton Belt
here have been notified by President
Triton that ali salaried men Of the
system will be given a lay-off of four
DAYS without pay each month until
business justifies continuous work.
This plan of laying off the salaried
men each month was recently put into
effect, the explanation being that it
was necessary for the road to reduce
it's expenses because of poor business.
Last month the men lost three days
pay, although most were at their posts
of duty just the same. This month
they will lose pay for four days,
which will reduce their monthly rev.
enue something more than 13 per
cent, causing the 500 man loss
each month of 1884 and the $500
man a loss of $2664, sums sufficient
to go far in maintaining the home
table.
There are many inclined to believe
that the "policy of retrenchment" Of
fered by the railway as an excuse for
the laying off of the salaried men is
but ruse resorted to in the hope OF
creating sentiment favorable to the
railroads in the situation provoked by
the refusal of the railway managers OF
western roads to accede to the de-
mands of the engineers and firemen.

Hears Business Side.

Washington, July 8-Supporting
the administration antitrust pro-
gram in some particulars and oppos-
ing 1t in others, delegation OF
bushes men representing the Chica-
go Chamber of Commerce, conferred
more than an hour today with Presi-
dent Wilson. All details of the pend
ing antitrust bills were gone over
Afterward the president said he felt
that the conference has been mutual
ly instructive and helpful.
The Chicago delegation advocated
establishing trade commission
broader in scope in some respects
than that proposed in the Newlands
bill and lesser in scope in other re-
spects. They also supported pro-
vision to make illegal certain unfair
business practices.
Speaking on the labor exemption
clause of the Clayton bill, the presi-
dent told the business men it Yves In
tended to legalize the existence and
operations of labor unions and SINH
lar organizations as such. The Chi
cago men replied that they would APP
prove such provision II nothing else
were provided.

War Prices Hit the Printers, Too.

Printers of all kinds are being sorely
hit by the elevation in prices because
of the war. The ink, which makes the
letters you are reading now, has gone
up 25 per cent. That is stupendous
increase and affects every printer, big
and small-the one who publishes a
newspaper the same as one who oper-
ates a small job office. The rate on
paper also has assembled greatly. An
important chemical used in it's compost
ton comes. from Germany, and the
supply of course has been shut off COM
pletely. Hence the increase. News
papers abroad actually are curtailing
size to save paper American publish
ers, if the war continues long, may
also be obliged to adopt similar ex-
pedient. High priced papers, those
used in making all kinds of blanks,
books to considerable extent, and in
job work generally, will cost more
highly even than the paper used for
news purposes. Jobbers actually are
withdrawing quotations on many of the
higher grades of paper. The price of
type goes up too, and linotype metal
likewise. Elk.

AFTER all is said and done, there is
but one issue in Wisconsin. The de-
plorable condition of state affairs over
tops all else. Senator La Toilette
blames Governor McGovern, and he in
turn accuses Senator Scott and the
state senate. In the meantime there
is general scramble among the state
officials and members of the legislature
to side-step the responsibility. But it
is case of the ''pot calling the kettle
black. The truth of the matter is
the men who have been in power are
equally responsible and the one is as
deep in the mire as the other.

EMANUEL L. PHILIP is the only can
didate for governor who did not in some
way assist in bringing about the pres
ent deplorable condition Of state affairs
so much complained Of; the only one
with clean hands, without apology or
excuses. The others are tarred with
the same stick. While many of them
admit the charges Of extravaganza and
are prolific in their accusations of the
other fellow, they are prolific in their
promises to do better if given another
chance. Are men who have assisted in
bringing these abuses upon US to be
trusted to undo the wrong? The duty
of every voter is plain. Clean house is
the only remedy.

WHEN the tax commission were first

WHEN the tax commission were first
confronted with evidence of their de-
bauchery they tristled up and assumed
a half-scared, half-fght attitude. They
called upon the most proficient mathe
maticians and figure jugglers to cipher
them out of their unenviable predlca-
ment, as the Pharos of ancient Egypt
were wont to call on their astrOlogers
and soothsayers. The more the rules
of mathematics were applied, the more
the tax eaters became enmeshed in the
web of their own squanderings. After
a while one of their experts, on becom-
ing convinced that mathematics would
not stem the revolt against extortion-
ate taxation, concluded to try some
thing else, so he invented 'Tbarbaric
yawp," hoping thereby to create asenti-
ment against the protesting taxpayers.
1t didn't work. Now every progressive,
from the chief priest down, is admit
ting the charge of extravaganza, each
laying the blame on the other and all
promising to do better if given another
trial And do you know that the same
blast of opposition from the taxpayers
which aroused progressive republicans
aroused the progressive democrats also?
1t did. Until the trumphet was sound
ed calling to arms all who opposed ex-
tortionate taxation, not progressive
democrat had uttered word against
it. The moment, however, it became
known that the tax protesters outnum-
bered the progressives, that moment
certain progressive democrats joined
the tax protesting movement. The
whole progressive bunch are now on
Bonded knees imploring mercy. The
''barbaric yawpers" are on top. Mad

Cost of State Government.

TRADE is the victim of war. Indus
try is the victim of war. Agriculture
is the victim of war. Art is the victim
of war. Above all, the home and the
family are the victims of war. War is
the enemy of comfort and of all that
normal man holds dear. 1t is barbar-
Gus, brutal, bloody. Not a circumstance
justifes it-at least such war as this
which chiefly is for the bolstering up Of
royalty. All the world is outraged by
this Infamous conflict, and we are all
paving the bill. Madison Democrat

THE announcement of the state tax
commission that million dollars more
of income taxes will be squeezed out of

spenders at Madison will find a place
for it all right.

already seen to lie the opening of the
gates of larger trade between this

speech muscles to produce proper tones
Is in reality training OF the mind and
the essence of method for developing
q stronger, controlling will power. II
rot only does away with the sense Of
hurry and excitement, but it directs the
nervous forces to the places where they
belong and are USED in correct speech.
Since stammeling is neurosis, all
causes Of nervous irritation should be
removed and kept as far away as pos.
sible from a child who needs protec>
ton in this respect. Worrying or teas
ing, even when done in friendly man
ncr, lS apt 20 foster a nervous irrita-
ton and eXcitability which is conducive
Of stamnering. UIdue severity will
have the same effect. yet paE;pering
and laxness in discipline will also have
a bad effect.
Another very useful prophylsctic
suggestion which will apply TO all cases
where StammeriEs Is feared or where
an effort is being made to check its
early appearance, is that Of always ex-
hibiting before the little one a model
Of perfect speech as an example for il
to follow, both consciously and invol-
unfairly. Children learn to talk by imi-
tation, and i is important that they
! have a good form to copy. Exercises
for training other groups Of muscles,
and experiences calculated TO strength
en- The character, broaden the will
power, arouse the ambition and develop
habits OF application and perseverance
will all be most useful in checking a
predisposit;on TO hesitate in speech,
and even OF correcting it in its earlier
stages.

PRATT INSTITUTE OFFERS TRADE
TEACHERS COURSE.

There is a strong demand for practi-
ca men of thorough trade experience
to teach their trades in industrial and
trade schools. There are now a large
number of industrial and trade schools
in this country and the number is in
cressing. Eight states have already
passed legislation establishing such
schools, and with the possibility of fed
eral aid in sight it is expected that the
other states will pass similar legisls-
ton. These schools arc taking their
shop instructors from the trades.
Salaries for teachers of trade work
range from 81 900 to $4,000 in the case
of teacher in charge Of school shop
and from $500 10 $1,000 for assistant
teachers. Evening work is usually paid
for extra, at from 81 TO 50 night for
a term of twenty to thirty weeks, three
to four evenings week.
Teachers of practical work OF the
machinists trade, carpentry, cabinet
making, pattern making, electric work,
sheet metal work, printing and machine
drafting arc in particular demand.
There is some demand for teachers of
pa uDluB anu lp"Sl PiShI OPttaNiH -
and also for teachers of related trade
subjects, such as trade arithmetic and
trade drafting.
You will find it difficult to get posi-
ton as a trade teacher unle you have
had some experience in teaching or you
have had training as a teacher. Pratt
institute offers YOU an opportunity to
obtain both training and teaching eNpe-
rieuce in an evening class, which will
not interfere with your daily work, and
is especially designed to meet the
needs Of trade workers who wish to be-
come teachers in trade and industrial
schools.
The class in trade professional train
ing at Pratt Institute will be taught by
a man who has had extended experience
as teacher in an industrial school
and as the director of one Of the lead
ing Massachusetts schools. The class
will meet three evenings week, Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays, from
1880 to $3.50 o'clock, from September 30
to March 26. Two evenings OF each
week will be given 10 instruction in
tricks" OF the teaching trade" and TO
methods of teaching in an industrial
school, and the third evening will be
given TO actual practice teaching in the
New York evening trade schools under
the supervision of the instructor OF the
class So far as possible enc or two
additional evenings Of practice teaching
will be arranged for those who de-
