Why the Scarcity OF Mechanical
Labor

Omaha, Nov. 20.-To the Editor of
The Bee: I read a statement from
Grant Parsons In reference to the
building laborers, in which he would
like to know what has become of the
experienced laborers that were in town
previous to the strike of last spring.
/ would say for his enlightenment a
good many of the experienced labor
ers are working for building contrac-
tors here and elsewhere and are paid
thu union scale Of wages. Take Chi
cago, for instance, bona fide build
ing laborer receives from AN cents
per hour to 10 cents per hour, and
here in our great and prosperous city
Of Omaha the building and street con-
tractors pay from 20 to 40 cents per
hour.
Any man with an ounce Of sense
knows he can't get experienced labor
ers for 20 or rs cents per hour. Have
you ever heard or read of a city the
size of Omaha furnishing prisoners to
a contractor to do street work which
the property owners are paying for.
The unfortunate prisoner receives 10
cents per hour and the city Is cents
per hour. Fine doings for the rich
contractor who has accumulated his
pile" at the expense of the bona f1de
laborer and mechanic.
Think 1t over, Mr.. Parsons, and you
can readily discern the cause of the
scarcity of mechanical laborers, and
In their stead you have here bunch
Of strike breakers" and spineless hu-
man derelicts. STRAIGHTWIRE.
Disfranchisement in the South.
Omaha, Nov. 20.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: l cannot doubt that all in
telligent readers of your excellent
paper have been equally interested
with myself in noting the editorial re-
marks in reference to the effect Of the
solid south's'I-vote in the last presi-
DENTAL election. In spite of oft
repeated demonstrations Of the fact
that this government is the merest
travesty on genuine democracy, we
shall probably have a continuation of
this condition for years to come.
There are lots of>us left yet who re-
tain vivid recollection of the time
something more than half century
ago, when the question, What shall
we do with the negro?" became the
most hackneyed phrase that appeared
in print, with the possible exception
Of: "All quiet on the Potomac" In
spite Of the predetermination and
promise of Mr.. Lincoln to have moth
ing to do with slavery-frankly and
fully disavowing any constitutional
right or personal inclination to inter
fere with 1.-THE, at the very outset
of his administration, inevitably ran
afoul of the unsolvable problem of
avoiding mixup with the south's
peculiar institution" At last he was
almost driven to the issuance. of the
emancipation proclamation, and later,
but with apparently hardly less reluc-
lance, endorsed the movement for Or
ganizing, arming and mobilizing the
freed men. Still later came the con-
stitutional amendments, eventuating
in the elective franchise. But the con-
federate brigadiers have made good
their threat that the ballot in the

South Reception of I Hughes

They do take their politics seriously in r1 south, but
not seriously as greatly inconvenience Charles
E. Hughes, the Republican nominee for the presidency
In fact such reception that which MI Hughes
ceived IN Nashville, Tennessee Monday night have
been rather refreshing.
It might have been a Wilson ratification meeting
and there ringing cheers for the president while
the Republican candidate opened his address Also
there many questions by loyal Democrats meant
to be embarrassing Mr.. Wilson's rival But Mr.
Hughes good 1atured generous IN his sym
Pathes, and yet Wig in his view and pointed
in his speech that he quickly his audience, and
began applauding him
Mr.. Hughes may not have converted many southern
Democrats to the Republican faith. He may not have
convinced many of the of their partys ways At
least he made himself personally liked by the south
erneTs and proved there such a thing a Repub-
hcan candidate for president campaigning the "sod
south"
It has also been demonstrated once more that south

the warmth of their political convictions
