still are. There it will be ascer-
tanned that men were given food and
sleeping quarters often that would
be an insult to a dog. What is more,
and this was true perhaps more on
railway contracts than in the woods,
the employers purposely and pre-
meditatedly made it a practice to see
to ii that their men got drunk and
spent all their money every payday,
the object being to keep them broke
so that they could be held on their
Jobs. Partly for this reason and
partly for profit such employers not
infrequently engaged in the saloon
business and fired every man forth
with who die not spend his money
in the barroom where he was paid
off or where he was supposed before
hand to run a bar bill to the amount
of his wages.
|. w. W.ism is seldom heard of
nowadays where such conditions nc
longer obtain and 1t is pleasing to
be able to say that such conditions
now are rare and are getting more
so as time goes On.
For their eradication the radical
so-called labor union demands the
credit and there are reputable per
sons in the northwest especially who
claim they are entitled to it. It has
been said in effect of old that the
Lord never made a mistake when He
put good and bad agencies into the
world, and it would be sacrilege &c
deny it., hence reasoning from that
standpoint it would be improper to
deny some Satanlike agency what
ever credit it is entitled to for this
visible uplift, and if the offending
employers would not correct theii
own inhuman practices they were
not a great deal better than that GER
tain agency which the Maker had tc
turn loose in the world to do it fol
them, II indeed they were any better
It will be noticed these days thai
radicalism has short shrift in Ne
vada, and here is the reason. Ant
where it is heard of it is a safe be-
that living conditions are not wha'
they ought to be or that there is SOM
related reason. Employers every
where should bear these facts il
mind. Most of them are doing so.

The invention OF glass eyes Is lost
in obscurity. Records show that they
were used by the Egyptians, Romans
and Yenetians many centuries ago.
The priests as early as 500 b. G.

form of artificial eyes occurs In an IL

POT-sHOTTING WALL STREET.

"Popgun politics is the title of
an editorial in the current issue of
the Country Gentleman, a Curtis
of that class of farmers that its name
implies, but not in the interest OF
the country men. The editorial lam
basis members CT congress, whom it
declares to be demagogues protected
from libel proceedings by their con
stitutional privilege, and others OF
their ilk, including Secretary Wal
lace, for carrying on the practice of
potshotting Wall street, which alley
way it designates as the "couatry's
greatest money center"
The purport Of the editorial is i'm
material but the gist of 1t is merely
that the farmers cannot afford to an
tagonize Wall street, for on it their
success and all that of the country
depends. 1t tells, in fact. of a meet
ing of them appealing to Otto Kahn
and Barney Baruch ane getting some
sage advice, which was the right and
proper thing for them to do, but the
implication is that neither they nor
any person in the country should
volunteer any advice on how Wall
streets business should be run.
Particular umbrage is taken be-
cause a western senator, scarcely
dry behind his political ears" had
taken a pot shot or two, saying
among other things that Wall street
invariably hoisted the yellow FLAG
above the Stars and Stripes.
The effectiveness of the editorial
would have been enhanced, no doubt,
but for one circumstance. The lead
ing article of that issue of the Corn
try Gentleman went about as far as
Senator Brookhart might be expected
to go in denouncing Wall street.
This article was entitled "Pittsburg
Plus and 1t told in elaborate detail
of how the steel industry of the
country has always followed and
still continues to follow a practice
of extortion against the farmers and
other users of steel products by max
ing a charge on a basis known as
"Pittsburg plus" This means that.
without reason or excuse and only as
a mea of extortion, Pittsburg has
long been made the price center OF
the country for steel. When steel
at Pittsburg is $50 a Ton this Pitts
burg plus plan adds and actually col
lects the freight from Pittsburg to
Chicago on every ton of steel sold,
amounting to $3.50 a ton. making
the selling price $3.50, even though.
as is the case, the steel in question
is manufactured at Gary, Ind, which
is really a part of the same city, with
no freight paid whatever.
At Duluth, where steel Is as plen-
tiful as ever 1t was al Pittsburg or
ever will be, another manufacturing
center, on Duluth-made steel the
amount added for freight from Pitts
burg is 1920 a ton and the steel
sold at $500.
At Birmingham, Ala, where the
freight from Pittsburg amounts to
$3.50, the steel trust got cold feet
and cut the plus part down to IS
but actually charges $35 for what
sells for $50 at Pittsburg. though
the article sold is mined and manu-
featured at Birmingham.
Since Wall street-although the
Country Jake did not say so-is
owned by the house OF Morgan, and
