Prowling Washington With Nebraskans V. Hr JACK LEE. ^ Congressmen Willis G. Sear*, M. and Gen. Dick Richardson o f Alaskan and Siber ian fame, were guests of Edgar C. .. Snyder at hi* I home last Sunday. Mr. Snyder Is United States mar shall for the Dis trict of Columbia. Previous to going into this office he was a newspaper . , , man, having work Jack Lee. e„ Jn 0mah*. For many years he was Washington cor respondent for The Omaha Bee. Gen. Dick Richardson served the gov ernment In Alaska and during the late war. When difficulties arose In Siberia, General Richardson was sent there to' straighten things out, which he did. He was commandant at old Fort Niobrara In the early days. The guests were served a good old fash ioned home cooked meal. Miss Grace Shallenberger, daughter I and private secretary of Congress man A. C. Shallenberger, is the proud possessor of the old walnut desk on which William Jennings Bryan wrote his famous "crown of thorns and cross of gol<V” speech. The com mo'nor was then a congressman and Jived with the Vemelles near the capltol. Edgar Howard, now a con gressman, waa Mr. Bryan's secretary at the time. He too, eschews all haircuts. However, Ws. Vemelle, being a close friend of Miss Shallen berger, loaned her the desk for her apartment. The desk Is highly prized also because Miss Shallenberger Is a democrat. Hon. Harry B. Hawes of Missouri in a statement made on the floor of the hotise a few days ago said that up to date 10,900 bills had been In troduced In the house and 8,700 had been Introduced in the senate, 14,600 bills In all for committeemen of the house and senate to consider. ---I Mill Workers’ Rules in 1830 Show Employes Toiled From Before Sunrise Till After Sunset Then Have you got a Job? If you have, you are in hick. Are you grouching about long hour* and kicking because you have to work ao hard? Forget Jtt If we had to work aa they did a century ago we might have a kick coming. A Job. eight houra a day, paid every Saturday night—say, boy, a hundred years ago that would have been heaven. Wage earners in those daya didn't work by th# clock; they worked by the aun. If we think we have a kick about the Job, let'a take a look at the rules promulgated by Amaaa Whitney for the operation of hla cotton mill In Wlnchendon, Maas., In 1880. That wasn’t ao long ago, but we have come a long way since then. Quoted from a copy of the original rules now In the possession of A1 Dreaher. here are some of the rules; Rule 1 says: "The mill will he put In operation 10 minutes bafore aunrlse at all aeaaona of the year. The gates win be abut 10 minutes after sunset from March 20 to th# 20th of Septem ber; at 80 mlnutae past * from the 20th of September to the 20th of March; Saturday# at sunset." Pleas# note that Amasa was very liberal—he gave 'em part of Saturday for their very own during a portion of the year. Rnld 9 provides! "Anything tending to Impede the progress of manufactur ing In working hours, such as un necessary conversation, reading, eat ing fruit must be avoided." Amasa was careful; ao rule 18 said: "It is Intended that the bell be rung 5 mlnutea before the gate le hoisted, so that all may be_ready to start their machinery precisely at the time men tioned." Amaaa discouraged visiting around the factory. Probably because the workers might “cook up" something. So Rule 18 said: "Th# hands must leave th# factory so that the doors may be fastened within 10 mlnutea of the time of leaving off work." No gathering around the washbasin# for Amaaa. Toe many schemes "cooked up" there. Beside#, Amasa didn’t provide washbaalns. That would have been pampering the workers, and nothing like that for Amaea. If an employe quit without giving four weeks' notice, hla pay for four weeka was held up, for Amaaa paid only ones a month. If a worker lost any time, for any rssson, th# worker had to msks It up before being paid. And smoking on th# Job waa forbidden. Between November 1 and March 1 the “hands” had to eat breakfast be fore going to work, but they were al lowed 25 minutes for supper beginning at 6:30 between May 1 and August 1. There wasn't any noon hour, only 25 mlnutea. Compensation Insurance waa un inown In Amasa'e day. A workman Injured In the course of his employ ment wag "out of luck." He lost his lob, paid his own expenses and had no recourse. Things are a bit different now. Tjie sight-hour day la almost universal fn all lines of Industry. The weekly pay day is ai equally universal. Em ployers have a part In making tji# shop rules that Amaaa promulgated sn his own motion. We have our out sf-work benefits, workmen’s compen sation and mutual benefit associations. Of course modern workers have their troubles, one of them being un employment. But even so, they hays a better opportunity to get work than they used to have, and then they had unemployment In those days. too.
