The Harvest of the grain crop of
Douglas county is fast approaching
a highly successful finish.
The
amount of straw is short, but the
turnout of grain is very satisfactory,
and now has begun the preparations

women, together with the semi-inva

basket and gloves preparatory to
their annual pilgrimage to the hop
fields. There does not seem to be

Some papers are critiebing tlb

presenting a list of their grievances
and waiting to see how their em
ployers would regard it.
But they
know their employers too well to
place any reliance upon this method.
Only a few months ago the telegraph
companies raised rates to patrous
from 20 to 50 per cent, and an
nounced a raise of loper cent in wages
to employes. But the telegraphers
say that the companies immediately
began to regrade operators, so that
in effect wages were not raised as
promised. The public was paying
its 20 to 50 percent more for ser
vice, allright, but by underhanded
trickery the operators were in maay
if not all cases being defrauded of
their little ten per cent increase,
and that when they well dtserved it.
and even more.
The government ought
to step
in and influence these public-service
corporations to pay their employes
the wages and grant the hours asked.
The demands are reasonable and
right. It doesn’t take an expert to
see that.
These corporations, now
combined into a trust, are doing
a quasi- public service.
Their
business is the people’s business,
the government's business.
The
people are willing to pay the in
creased rates if necessary to the
companie’s success—though they
are not willing to pay dividends on
two thirds water in their stock—but
the people are not willing to see
these corporations holding up the
the people's business because in
their obstinacy and greed they will
not pay decent, living wages to
their employes.—Jouanal.
