WISE WORDS FROM THE

workers acted wisely in their noble
undertaking. is proven hy the fact
that under our flag have congregated
the people Of almost all other lands,
who fully approaching the wisdom ami
magnanimity of our laws, and the eN-
ccllencc Of our institutions have fore
sworn allegiance to their native soil
and become loyal citizens and cnthu-
iastic supporters of this government,
which in the comparatively short
period of IA years has grown To be
the richest and most powerful nation

ed must be complied with by organiza-

The ruling of the board was made
when S. J. McDougall OF the st. Louis

lives OF all OF the outlaw" strikers to
ask immediate wage increases.
The law provides that every resource
OF negotiations between the railroads
and their employees must be exhausted
before grievances and differences can
be filed before the board.
The statement OF the board, which
was read to representatives OF the 'out

ers who have recently tied up freight

To Get the Correct Time.

For some time past the big clock
on the court house tower has been
running wild" SO to speak. 1t has
been running about ten minutes or
more ahead of the other time pieces
in the city, and has confused numer-
Gus people. Since the Posten whistle
was discontinued the time has been
a little hard to keep track of, it
seems. At the Commercial Club din
ner Monday Mr.. w. +. Baker moved
that the club procure a Western
Union clock and have it installed in
the telephone office, so the correct
time will be announced, especially
at the noon hour, when the whistle
at the city hall blows. This whistle
hes been blown by the telephone
company for some time past. Pos
sibly arrangements will be made to
have it blow three times a day, at
seven, twelve and six o'clock.
