, Offices BOYS are paid by piece work

message, but if they fail to find the
party to whom a telegram is addressed

union will demand two and one-hat or
| three cents for delivery OF a message:
| and will insist on the elimination o..

No. 3-Most Of the messenger boys
although they indirectly work for the
Western Union company, are IN the en-
ploy OF the American District Iele-
graph Company, which has the contract
! for delivering the Western Union
message. The union wants the A. d. /.
eliminated. so its members can WORK
directly for the Western Union, partak-
ing in the pension benefits Of the lat
ter company.
No. 4 All work aside from the de-
livery of messages is classed as ser
vice" This includes carrying packages,
private notes, letters and running
errands. For each service" that IN
wolves n charge Of over 30 cents, ~
cents must be paid TO the company Tor
csrfare and the messenger keeps one
third Of the residue. The union wants
the carfare charge eliminated, on the
ground that the A. d. T. has a contract
with the marlborough, and wants one
half of what remains, rather than one
third.

There is a final grievance which
the less industrious boys doing
"piece work" have against the hard
workers. To the boy that appears at
the Office first in the morning falls
the greatest number of messages 20
deliver. Hence some boys are at their
office doors at dawn, and stand through
cold or heat waiting TO- the opening
at 8 o'clock The union wants TO fix
time at which union man" can
show up for his days job.

Messenger Boys Strike Brewing;
FESTIVE "Mercuries Form Union
Reimbursement Of Pay Scale, Even Break on Messages
Pensions and Cheaper Uniforms Among Demands
To Be Presented

Hello, Mr. Jones? This is The
Western Union Telegraph Office
There's a message waiting here for
you"
"wen, what o, it? Send it up by a
boy"
"sorry, sir; it can't be done"
"Why7"
Because the Amalgamated Associn-
ton Of Long Suffering Messenger
Boys has just declared general strike
and there isn't message carrier
working in the city. rs the one job
where strikebreakers don't fit in.
You'll have to call for your telegram"
Then the receiver clicks into its
hook. Mr.. Jones swears so soundly
that his stenographer seeks the haven
Of the fling cabinet: then he rushes
off to the district telegraph Office 20
get his message.
This little scene IL what may be eS-
pected to follow the organization yes
terday of the messenger boys union, at
n meeting held in dingy, low-ceilinged
room, above Casino Hall, IN East
Fourth Street.
viii Pay Benefits
The strike the boys plan has no ter
rors for many of them; they know they
can fall back upon their parents for
support during tho time they are out
Of work. But to provide for the boys
who haven't father or mother the
three hundred youngsters who formed
the nucleus Of the union yesterday
pledged themselves 70 give up cigar
cites for a week, so they could each
pay twenty-five cents into the strike
"war chest"
With the sagacity that comes from
long schooling on the streets, they
have realized that a strike within the
next month would have a better chance
of victory than al any other time. The
wave Of war prosperity has taken many
messengers into downtown business
Offices az better pay. and the opening
OF school this week will call $50
others out of their blue uniforms
Company officials admit the shortage
Of messenger boys. SO those who are
left have determined TO turn this short
age into capital for themselves.
At the mass meeting yesterday
when officers of the union were duly
elected. when the war chest" was be
gun and when committee was APP
pointed to seek American Federation Of
Labor affiliation-the youngsters had
many grievances to present. some OF
these appeared sound; others were
still others were pitiful.
Here Are the Grievances.
The boys say their grievances arc as
follows:
Grievance No. The pay for boys
on straight salary is SS.17 for a seven
day week. and for night men twho must
be more than twenty-one years old IS
S9.51. out of this 40 cents a week is
taken 20 pay for uniforms. The boys
assert their uniforms do not cost that
much, and want only 20 cents a week

Those students Of New York's po-

state affairs through the eyes Of
Democratic campaign leaders have
been given a textbook for this pur-

titled "Whitmans Wanton Waste"

Among the numerous LESSONS in
cluded in this textbook is one in
which several terms are defined in
detail. "The ripper Governor" for
instance, is explained to apply to Gov

Figures then are produced TO sup
port the charge of gross extravaganza
that is repeatedly preferred against
him in the book.
The substance Of the lesson to ANA
teur politicians Is contained in these
Introductory paragraphs:
"Governor Whitman is the most ex-
trsvagant Executive in the history Of

preparations at the rate Of $4,000. 900 a
year over the Democratic average.

con the contrary, he has torn down,
cnasculated and disorganized the great

the Democrats who preceded him.
"He is the ripper Governor For
the first six months Of his term, full
quarter Of the period of his service, he
stopped the wheels of government and
paralyzed the work Of the state de-
partments while he engaged in a de-
bauch Of ripperism. Significantly

The Eyss OF The Jews
.Were Blinded.
Continued from page 2.

Fof the two people are sc,
forth in this chapter or subject
80 plain that nothing but q mad
man can dispute. Wherefore
we say to you in this language:
whereby, when We readye may
understand my knowledge in the
mystery OF Christ. Which 10
other ages was not made known
unto the sous of men, as It is
now revealed unto his holy
apostles and prophets by the
spirit. That the Gentiles should
be feliowheirs and of the same
body and partakers of his
promise in Christ by the
gosple And to
make all men see what is the
fellowship Of the mystery which
from the beginning cf"tbe world
hath been bid in God who
created all things by Jesus
Christ. Eph 3 49, $50.
This scripture in connection
with all the rest teach US these
two people existed since the ore
was created on the sixth day and
the other one formed on the 9th
day. After we have proven be-
yond any doubt that God gave
the Jews the spirit of SUM Der
eyes that they should not see I'm
to this day on up to the fuIness of
the Gsntiles. We say by this the
question is forced upon US how
long is this time? Or in the Ian.
guage of the prophet, After the
command is given to blind tn cir
eyeSas you can read;
Then said |, Lord. how long? :
Isaiah + II .,

We learn by this scripture,
that there must be a forsaking
first. That is the people must
forsake the truth as you will see
from this subject that they have,

thing says:

OF course this does not tell us

CAPPER SPOKE AT K. C.
Governor Gave Graduating Address at
the Night High School.

Kansas City, Kan, March 4.-Gov-
ernor Arthur Capper addressed the
graduating class of the night high
school here Friday night. He gave
some advice to fathers and employers
in the course of his talk.
1.-THE father he said, should not
feel that his full duty toward his son
has ended when he has provided him
with food. clothing and an education.
He must make him feel that he is his
close friend and adviser. The employ
err or the man who has men working
under his direction, must be to them
a sort of father If he would sue
coed, his men must love him and have
confidence in him. He must be will
ing to give them advice on their per-
sonal matters and not walk stiffly
through his factory with an air of SUI
periOrity. The man who numbers
among his friends his employees, who
sympathizes with them in their mis-
fortunes, and rejoices with them in
their good luck, and, above all, who
makes-his good fortune theirs, is sure
to succeed and the employee of such
a man is sure to be a good and con-
tented citizen"
The governor also spoke on the
need of giving every child a good ed
ucation in the common branches in
the grade schools and in manual train
ing.
I'm the penitentiary at Lansing
there is not a man who has learned
a trade" he said.
