The railroads dehasing policy has

The shop men struck because they
were being ground to pieces between
the railroads and the railroad labor
board. The latter forced the rate for
track laborers 10 2S cents an hour.
This is a sample of the boards ware

While resisting the boards assault

called upon to face flank attack by
the railroads which began contracting

As the railroad labor board has no
jurisdiction over these corporations
the railroads tfiekery resulted in
longer hours, lower wages and low

Wheeling, ". Ya.-The anti-union
policy of certain building contractors
in this city has collapsed. These

"A SCRAP OF PAPER"

When you come to think of it. near
ly as much can be accomplished today
with a sheet of plain white paper, as
the magician of old could encompass
with all his charms and amulets and
touchstones.
For "A scrap of paper can be made
into a check which will convey a for
tune half around the world. 1t can be
made into a deed which will transfer
the possession of an enormous proper
ty. Upon it n warrant of arrest a be
written or a pardon.
The musician can compose upon it n
song that will cheer the hearts of mil
lions. Or the poet, n verse hat will be
passed on to future generations.
Yet withal. there is such an alum
dance of this commodity that it may be
freely used for the universal dissemina-
tion of the days news and for the
widespread selling of Il multitude of
goods.
Truly, paper is n magic carpet and
an Aladdin's lamp and a fairy scepter
all rolled into one.-The Apcode.

1t works out swmmingly in Laramie

for the plan 100 per cent provided you
don't close down on their fish hatchery.
Casper desires nothing else than a low
ct tax provided the Salt Creek road is
built. Sheridan would be delighted to
pay less taxes but insists that n term
Of the supreme court be held
there. And Douglas, my sakes. that
town was right up in arms over high
taxes until the state fair %appr0pria-

And so we might mention almost
every town in the state that has some

to the patrons of the postoffice to help
me preserve better order in the lobby.

and to those who made the effort l
wish to extend my sincere thanks.
But those who ignored hat request
have forced me to n course that l re-
greet, because it affects the ones that
are not responsible.
When / came to the postoffice on
Monday morning February II, l found
Il tubfull of paper torn up in fine
pieces and scattered on the floor. The
desk hat has been on the east wall.
for the use of the public, was torn
down. The large wall clock was rorn
loose from the wall and was hanging
from its supports. | bought a waste
paper basket some time ago ana II
has been destroyed, and was replaced
by a large wooden fruit basket which
has also been destroyed. Two large
window lights have beer broken and
the walls and fixtures show for thun-
selves. This ceases to be mischief and
becomes destruction of property.
Until further notice, the windows
will open at 500 a. m. aud close at
6 100 p. m. as usual, and the outside
door of the lobby will open at 7:15 a.

There is an outside drop box at the
