Employees Organize
On Wednesday night nbout fifty em
ployees gathered at Ganschow hall The
meeting was called to order at eight
thirty by J B Wade who stated the
object of the meeting as being simple
that it is as a protective moasuro that
ho was asked by tho State Railway Pro
tective Association to call this mooting
nnd introduced C D Hopkins member
of the 0 R C from tho Northwostern
R R
Mr Hopkins read an extract from tho
report of tho interstate commerce com
mission showing how much the earn
ings had fallen off in earning capacity
of thirty one per cont of tho railroads of
the United States 340000 employees
idle or 1500000 people without their us
ual means of livelihood A side track
reaching from Chicago to San Francisco
would not hold idle cars and locomo
tives Ho said It makes no particu
lar difference what originally caused
this but threatened drastic ruling and
adverse legislation had a tendency to
destroy public confidence and in that
way harm business materially Fifteen
per cent reduction on a suit of clothes
would make tho saving to consumers so
small that the retailer could never allow
the consumer tho benefit of it Mr
Hopkins explained tho by laws of the
organization of United States Railway
Employees Protective association and
explained they had been drawn upon a
purely democratic principle that is that
every employee has a right to protection
Our feature particularly noticeable is
that the officials of the companies have
been made ineligible to membership
The treasurers are placed under bond
and every safeguard if placed around
the funds of the association Fees for
admission for all earning sixty dollars or
less twenty five cents per year all earn
ing more than sixty dollars fifty cents
per year
Mr Ryan chairman of the executive
committee of the association was next
introduced and explained that the farm
ers associations commercial clubs and
employees associations are identical
that it is not to the interest of any of
these to quarrel with the other that
when one is prosperous all three are
and a prosperous year to the farmer is
just as prosperous to the dealers assoc
iation and employees get their share
He called attention to the fact that the
text of the employees association iB
simply fairness Mr Ryan explained
that an editor of a paper from ONeill
had asked to have his name withdrawn
from the petition because It had be
come so wide and for other reasons
not stated he explained that because
the need for some such move was so
generally felt this man thought the
roads must be behind it He also ex
plained that the railroad employees are
the largest class of labor in the country
and are the only ones not protected by
the protective tariff
Mr Mecomber was next introduced
He brought out a dozen reasons why
the formation of such an association
was a necessity today Hh reasons
were logical and met with applause at
different times He said that the em
ployees had a very fair treatment and
were met by very friendly spirit by the
railway commission Mr Mecomber
called attention to the increase of the
valuation of the OFallon branch of the
U P where there is only enough busi
ness to keep busy only about two cars a
week He blamed the release of the
contract of the U P headquarters build
ing at Omaha on the unsettled condi
tion because of the uncertainty as to
what was going to happen to the rail
roads He asked particularly that in
the future the voters pay more atten
tion to the commissioners whose names
appear at tho botton of the ballot
He also called attention to the reception
tendered any one who tried to help the
employees before the last legislature
F H Crosby was next introduced and
tobk up the matter of local organization
and explained the method of organizing
local bodies at each division point to
keep all the employees in touch with
the work of the executive committee
He said that one year ago he was the
conductor on the pay car at Havelock
again two months ago he had the same
place It was an object lesson he said
the same man who one year ago drew
8125 a month this year drew sixty to
sixty five dollars He told a pithy story
which typified the necessity of taking
action which was received with enthus
iasm
After the object and organization had
been explained several employees of the
local shops spoko and enthusiastically
talked of the prospects before them A
local association was formed to act with
the state association and work to the in
terest of the employees of the state rep
resented by all of the roads doing busi
ness in this state
Mr Wade talked about the feeling
engendered by the adjustment of the
old rebate system and also by the tak
ing away of the free passes from the
politician He retold the part of the
hearing before the commission taking
particularly the complaints of Senator
Sibley and his reason as stated to the
commission for filing them
A great deal of enthusiasm was arous
ed by the meeting and the prospects are
that McCook is going to have a good
local organization Several local em
ployees made very pertinent and timely
suggestions aB to efficiency and the gen
eral spirit was that protection was nec
V
essary On account of tho lateness of
tho hour tho local employees elected
only a president and secretary leaving
the remainder of tho organization to be
elected at a future meeting to bo held
A vory pertinent question came up as to
the results to accrue to tho lowor paid
class but it was satisfactorily demon
strated that they are to bo even moro
helped than any other
J 13 Wade was elected president of
the local organization and Lloyd
Woods secretary Tho meeting closed
to meet again at an early date Com
Entertainment as Well as Instructive
Lectures
Many people hold the idea that tho
Chautauqua is strickly a roligous insti
tution and only for church people to
attend
Originally tho Chautauqua was more
closely connected with the church than
at tho present time
It is true the character of the Chautau
qua has changed greatly from the origi
nal form but some of those changes
were inevitable some desirable Never
theless a strenuous effort has been made
to keep the moral and intellectual stand
adr high
Of course every Chautauqua has its
entertainment and amusement features
as well as the solid lectures
It has tho usual number of laughing
philosophers apostles of sunshine
whistlers magicians singers players on
instruments and performers of various
stunts
On each days program are given how
ever lectures by men of note and nation
al prominence on subjects which are
alive in the minds of the people at the
present time

H C Clapp II W Conover and Ray

mittee to have the matter in general
control and direction
A soliciting committee composed of
H G Phelps H J Cox E J Wilcox
and H H Tartsch was selected to raise
the necessary funds for the celebrations
financing
Louis Thorgrimson and Earl Ludwick
were named as a committee to have
the matter of providing funds for the
