RENT PIRATE.

During the present week had
occasion to ask my landlord
(owner) to please replace an old
Franklin" heater, which uses up
at least three times as much coal
as a latrobe, with latrobe. The
heater does not give any satisfae-
ton at all, and received this re-
ply: "If you will guarantee five
(s5.0O) dollars more a month
rent, otherwise you can't have it. :"
1t seems that you must have
known of this by your appropri-
ate note.

Ever been to Relay, Nd? Hard
to find, on the map or time table, but
historically this tiny little neighbor
of ours (just outside the city, is i'm
portant. Within the town is a monu-
ment on which is inscribed the names
of the original promoters of the B.
and o. r. r. The name of the town
itself comes from a traffic situation,
the old inn there having once been
the "relay" point for stage coaches.
Horses were changed in the inn yard.
The first stone arch bridge in
North America was built at Relay.
It's there yet, unchanged since 1881
when it was finished. 1t was design
ed to carry the original eight-ton
locomotives. Without a single re-
enforcement it is now shouldering
daily the 200-ton engines which thun-
der over it.
: Relay is also the birthplace of the
telegraph pole and the glass tele-
graph insulator.
( The first telegraph line in the
world ran from here to Baltimore
and was laid in wooden underground
conduits until it reached Relay. The
conduits met a stream and at that

COAL BOSSES MUST KEEP THEIR
PROMISES OR FACE STRIKE
Although disgruntled coal dealers
were paying the so cents a day adj
vance to drivers who struck last Sat
urday and won, they are supposed to
be ready to hold out some of the
union conditions they agreed to give
when the strike was closed.
The answer of Milton Booth,
union leader who pat the strike over,
is that the drivers will be out again
next Saturday unless the bosses
come through as they promised.
The Chicago Coal Merchants
assn will meet this afternoon to lay
the plans of the employers. Mean
while the big corporations are buy
ing up all the fuel they can get.
Milton Booth, head Of the coal
teamsters' union, announced today
that conference with the bosses may
not start until Thursday.
The men will not yield Dec. 81 as
the date for the expiration of any
agreement: Fred Upham and the
other coal barons want the agree
ment to expire in the spring, so they
can lock the men out and force them
to sign up new contracts at the
bosses terms. @.-
Ed Nockels, sec'y Chi. Fed. Of La.
Dor, sent a. letter to District Atty
Clyne today in which he charged the
coal trust with bringing on the strike
so as to further boost the price of
coal and lay the blame at the doors
of the union men.
Nocke1s said that the coal barong
were willing to pay the increase in
wages but were waiting until the
men struck, when they could sway
public opinion through the medium
of the trust press,
