Of course the boys are in favor of it. Theiwr work will be done quietly, but you can bet it will be a go. None of the Kuights of Labor care to be quoted on. the subject just now. And let me quote for you some of the opinions of prominent men in this coun- try. ““Lettors received by Samuel Gompers, who is president of the federation of labor, indi- te @ great doal, inasmuch us the opinions come from national men. A few of them are as follows : I bolieve in eight hours constituting a day’s work," says Congressman William Mc- Kinley, Senator Hoar writes: ‘I bave for many years been of the opinion that for ordinary labor eight hours a day is Bno\lfih.' *A work day of eight hours,’ writes Dr. Felix Adler, ‘will give opportunity for in- tellectual labor, tor social recreation and for the development of higher and finer wants. Senator H. W. Blair says. ‘Eight hours are to0 long on, and God bless you in your holy work.’ Cougressman i'rank Lawler states: ‘If Ihad my way, the working peo~ ple of the country would work only six hours a day. Seth Low, president of Columbia college, writes: ‘I am in sympa- thy the desire for én cight-hour work day,’ and Senator J. J. Iugalls says: ‘A geveral reduction of the hoursof labor to. eight hours per ‘day would bave a beneficent effect upon the mnnhoud‘ independence and citizonship of the people.) And there were a great many more of a sunilar nature. “It is true, there are trades unions that could not possibly recognize the cight-hour system. Take printers, for instance. The; cannot work on an hour scale. They wor! by the piece. Tailors, ns a rule, work the same way. Bakers could not work on the eight-hour system lest at the expiration of the alloted time they might have an oven full of bread. But the majority of the trades- men could, and those who can arestrongly in favor of it. ‘‘When the proper time comes the Owaha \]:oyl pronrise to make a lively fight on the sue.” Stationery The stationery engineers of Omaha are thoroughly organized. The membership at present will Peach almost one huudred. The ofticers are as follows: Willlam B, Austin, president; Joseph Welzenbeaugh, vice president; C. E. Palmer, recording secre- tary; J. W.

S. P. MORSE & CO. MY UNCLE AND IS METHODS A Glazce at an Omaha Pawn- broker's Collection. AN ANTIQUATED CHARACTER. The Dilapidated Establishment and Peculiar Collateral Presided Over by a Tenth Street Threc- Ball Knight, The Hock Shov. Among the dingy, ragged-looking rookeries which line South Tenth street from Farnam to the railways mnone are more thoroughly dejected and down-at- the-hoel in appearance than the pawn- shops. Through the dingy cracked panes of their little windows are visible the tokens of many a poor beggar's hard luck, the thresholds of their warped and paintless doors are worn with the tread of many feet, their old- fashioned roofs are sagging and mildewed, villianously painted signs and placavds distigure their fronts; and over each door, battered and chipped and rusty, hangs the sadly de- graded emblem of old-time magnifi- cence and wealth—the puwnbroker’s three oalls. Utterly misecable and me laucholy they lean listlessly ngainst some 1aore swurdy neighbor or like a stoop-shouldered, lean and weazened old man crouch dismal ‘and shivering between equally wretched companions. Such ie the Omaha habitation of **My Uncle,” a very ancient and time-hon- ored character whom nobody visits till compelled to and who has received as callers some of the most distinguished cuaracters in history. - Just exactly how old he is nobody knows, though it is surmised that he was established in business long before the “"money changers” were scourged trom the tewple at Jerusalem. His ilded bails are ap emblem of his engthy pedigree and honorable ori- gin. Some time during {he thirteeath cen- tury a lot of Italign, merchants from Lombardy establishea themselves in England and Francé iud afterwards in other European coubtfies. They were ban kers, money léntidrs and merchants and took pledges #s ‘Security for poor debts, They formed powerful com- gnnh‘s and in time 'did the financial usiness of the various countries. Lom- bard street, Londonyiand Rue de Lom- bard, Paris, are the great banking thor- oughfares and are! Aamed after them. The family crest of one of the wealthiest branches of these ' Lowbards the Med- ici consisted of three spheres, from which originated the: familiar gilded balls which decorate the doors of the modern pawn shops. i, Many distipgnished cuswmers these gentlemen waited on in the good old da Lidwara L at one time “hocked’’ thie customs of the kingdom to one of them for & temporary accommodation, and during the days of Edward 111, and Henry IL the crown jewels frequontl Lay in “'soak” while the royal spend- thrifts dissipated the proceeds. From those days 1o the present they have ex- isted in various stages of respectability or the opposite till now almost every town in the civilized world has its three ball sign. Théy are under the strictest surveillance, and special legislation has boen adopted for their regulation. la Omahs there are fourteen regu- larly licensed pawn brokers, the major- ity located down along Tenth street, from Farnam to the Union Pacific depot, They pay a license of $100 a yoar, which entitles them toall the privileges of the craft, including that of - displaying the three-gilded balls and charging ivter- est at the rate of 10 per cent per month, under the moro euphonious title of *‘in- surance and storage.” A halt before some of the windows, or better, u visit to the interior will fur- nish food for many an hour of imagin- ings aud conjecture. There are one or two of more pretensions chan the rest--- thearistocracy of the profession---where the only pledges accepted are valuable jewels, silvorware, watches and similar collateral. These are altogether dis- tinct from the class under consideration and little is to be learned unless one could get av the uames of the patrons. To these come the ‘‘boys” who have been **out” for a night and wake up in the morning wondering how they got to bed and grateful that they still have a watch to soak; the gamblers and abandoned women who have ‘‘gone broke;” the impecunious young fashion- able whose monthly salary is spont be- fore earned: the struggling aristocrat; the pinched merchant; and, as one of the proprietors says, **a good many peo- ple who would surprise you, who sur- brise 1ne.” Many a gem that has added its glitter to the splendor of a fashion- able ball room has reposed upon the velvet cushions of the jewel cases, and in the safe is guarded ‘more than one sot of monogrammed silver which, but a fow weeks bofore graced a ban- quet board of Omaha’s upper tendom, The proprietors of these are keen- eyed, shrewd and ‘“‘never get, left,” The applicant hands over his family diamor.ds, or his fine watch or what not and waits, A strong light and a strong glass are turned on the gem, and the broker studies and studies, while the applicant grows impatient over the delay and wonders what is the matter with his $200 diamond. Finally the broker removes his glass and hands over the jewel with a shake of his head. What's tho matter?” *Paste,” ~ laconically observes the pawn broker and there is no appeal. Perhaps the diamond is genuine when he gets a quarter or o third of its value for one month and pays ten per cent for insurance and storage. The pawnbroker is 1nfallible in the matter of values and it is useless vo argue with him. He will advance so much, no more; take it or leave it. No tale how- ever pathetic makes any impression on him. These gentiemen have their regular customers and at stated intervals the same pledge comes round for the same loan, which is handed over without a word, From an infinity of causes a great many pledges are never redeemed, in which case the broker is invariably the gainer. Iu the lower grades, “joints,” as the police call them, a different style of business is done. Connected with the pawnbrokerage there is generally u collection of the cheapest kind of cloth- ing, shoes, valises, hats and caps, brass jewelry, ail of them relics of war times, and the whole stock probably worth about 20, In the windows is a miscel- laneous assortment of pledges, any of which, could they speak, might tell a pathetic story of human misery, There is the huge fumily bible of the grand- mother, its edges frayed by constant use, and the record of births and deaths torn out; two or three collections of old eoins, each with its unwritten history; time-worn violins and guitars whose music in the old days has doubt- less lent music to many winkling feet; som> Indinn and other relics; a battered sil- ver water cooler which did duty onceat a wedding feast, an accordeon thut has made muny a lifo miserable; pistols the size of small cannon, slung shots, brass knuckles, shot guns, bowie kuives, blacksmiths’ tools and so on ad infinitum, Everything is fish that comes to the net of the small pawn broker, and ver: tew pledges are ever redeemed. Eve thing else is gone when they get their Piukiugu, and generally the fight with amine i3 too severe to permit of the re- dgmption of heirlooms and relics of old deconcy. 0 How the proprietors of these estblish- ments eke out a living is somewhat of a mystery. Occasionally they find a pur- chaser for a *‘traitful ‘vine stone vich a chentlemans left dere ven he vas hart 0op unt naifer come after” and which they would sell for about #20 because there was no custom for such fine goods. Occasionally stolen property is found in their possession and other dubious trans- actions are attributed to them. It 18 very seldom that a pawnbroker gets bitten, though it sometimes hap- pens, as when a *‘regular customer’” has his genuine diamond replaced by a paste one, or they innocently loan money on stolen property. There is one branth of the business in Omaha growing to considerable propor- tions which is perhaps more dangerous than any other. It includes whav are Kknown as the “‘upstairs brokers.” They ave “loan agencies,” ‘*chattel mortgage companies” und the like and their name is legion. There are probably one hundred end fifty or two hundrad of them in Omaha and all will deposit in their sates a good watch or other se- curity for u loan upon. precisely the same principle as the pawnbroker. They pay no license and their trans- actions are all in socret. Stolen prop- erty deposited with them will not pl'0L~ nbly be discovered since they are not under police surveillance and make no record of any sort. A pawn- broker’s books are open to the golice and Chief Soavey has usked thut they be compelled to report each day’s trans- actions. It is the difference between a licensed saioon and the bootlegger. Of course these gentlemen do business with u class ufcus'.umm‘s which would hesitate to pass under the three balls, T'hese establishments and the enforce- ment of the laws against gambling and all night saloons has to a great extent taken away the prop which does sustain the life of the pawnbroker in Omaha. When ‘“everything ran wide open’ and men and women squandered their substance in a night the pawnbrokers did a rushing business and waxed fat, but old times come not again and with oue or two exceptions the three ball men are not getting rich in Omaha, —~——— The New York World sl has just been issued.
