A hundred .and thirty miners' fam
ilies were evicted from their homes
at Yatesboro, Pa., during one week in
July, 1906. The evictions began when
the family of Frank Colly had " their
household goods loaded into a wagon
by the sheriff's deputies and hauled to
an open field and dumped.. As the
deputies started with the goods : the
Yatesboro band and 300 miners formed
a procession and followed to the field.
The evictions continued during , the
week without interruption, and not
withstanding almost all of the fam
ilies in the town' were' evicted, there
was no disturbance at siay time. Many
of the families found temporary shel
ter in barns on neighboring farms, but
some were compelled to remain in the :
open field a few. days nntil tents could
be provided by the miners' union.

, Chancellor James Roscoe sDay 6f
Syracuse, N. Y., university, made
jiublic address last week in Which
he ' made a bitter attack upon labor
unions. The Wageworker .prints what
appeared d the address in the Asso
dated Press reports,, and restrains Its
natural 'inclination to' make' reply to
the reverend gentleman ' It invites
its' , readers, however, to ponder on
Rev.'1 Mr.. Day's statements and write
down what they think of them, and
then mail the same-to the editor. Later
Thj Wageworker may conduct to say
a 'few. things. The press report says:
"The Rev. Dr. James Roscoe Day,
chancellor of the Syracuse university
in an address tonight attacked the1 ar
guments in favor of the poor and
charitable and philanthropic , move
ments which, had been advanced a few
moments before by J. G. Phelps Stokes
and Rose Pastor Stokes, his wife. ;M
" 'What is all this cry that "is being
made about the poor wage earner'."
asked Dr. Day. 'The wage' earners get
enough for what they, do and a great
ma,ny of them get more. I know the
poor. I have been among them ana
studied them'. I know that they are
the chief support of upwards of 10,000
saloons-in this city.' I know that' they
are the chief causes of intemperance
and shiftlessness and then the blame
is put on the hard -hearted corpora
tions. We should cease some of the
philanthropy which we practice and
help the poor to learn their duty and
to make them help themselves. '.
: .".'I believe there is not a greater
piece of depotism that rules . today
than labor unions. It is a .hindrance
itself to the, advance of man.' .. , . .

BEATRICE BARBERS' BANQUET.
UnUn Men Give Employers a Spread
That Pleases. .
The members of Barbers' Union No.
209 gave a banquet to the employing
barbers of the city at the grill room,
corner Seventh and Court streets,
Tuesday evening '
The table was tastefully decorated
and the spread was a credit to " the
union and to the caterer.' .
Ed. Hackney presided as toastmas
ter and he filled the position with dig
nity. Short speeches were made by a
number of those present, all speaking
along the line of unionism. The mutual
benefits of a strong union were dis
cussed both by the journeymen barbers
and by the employers. The necessity
of being loyal to the union label on
all kinds of goods was emphasized by
the speakers and all agreed that the
man who was a union man only for his
own trade and his own job only half
lived up to his professions.
The following barbers were present:

FRED KARCHER DEAD.
Fred Karcher, well known to every
body in Lincoln, died of blood poison
ing last week. A few weeks ago he
scratched a finger on ;a rusty nail and
in a short time the finger began swell
ing. Medical attention was at once
summoned, but the spread of the
poison could not be stayed. Fred
Karcher was a big, -whole-souled, jolly
fellow, who had a host of friends, and
his good humor, his musical ability
an.d fine powers of mimicry will be
missed. If Fred had an enemy oii
earth it .was himself. Peace to his
ashes.
