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.

I home last Sunday.
Mr. Snyder Is
United States mar

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

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

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.
