WILL FIELD STORE FOLLOW PULLMANS AND
RAISE WAGES OF EMPLOYEES?

shall Field estate, is a director of the
Pullman Co. The concern was one
of the financial pets of Marshall Field
while living.
Agnes Nestor was asked whether
she believes the new wage policy of
the Pullman Co. is genuine and
whether like policy may reach the
store of Marshall Field & Co. She
said:
eve should certainly enjoy moth
ing better than to hear that Mr..
Keep, while sitting as a director of
the Pullman Co., came to see the
common sense of a minimum wage.
1t would be good news that he had
persuaded the managers of Marshall
Field & Co. to pay living wage scale
in the big State street store. That
would be almost as good news as if
you should tell me that Marshall
Field & Co. are willing to let their
employees organize into a labor
union"

Jimmie TO let Uncle Wiegily's cake

coming in the bungalow.
Here comes Uncle Wlggily now,
whispered Nurse Jane Jimmie won't

F. Burgess. member Of the legislature
from FL Paso county. Mr. Burgess is
a graduate Of the university.
In my opinion, house joint resolu-
ton, commonly known as the Sackett
resolution, should be adopted at the
election to be held on the gath Of July,
for the reason that the people Of Texas,
both as evidenced by declarations in
Democratic platform, by resolutions OF
representative bodies Of farmers. and
BY successive votes in the state legis-
lature, have definitely expressed their
desire that the university Of the state
and the Agricultural and Mechanical
college should be separated from each
other and each given a distinct and IN
dependent status
The Sackett resolution presents shis
issue to the people Of Texas in the
simplest form. No question Of bond is

a permanent tax levy. The division Of

uncertainty as to whether or not IL is

The equally important advantage to
the university from the adoption Of the
Sackett resolution viii be the removal
from the constitution of the unWise and
unnatural provision forbidding appro-
priation for permanent buildings. It is
difficult TO conceive how the univers-
ity (which has long since outgrown its
clothes), can ever be suitably housed
