THE LABORER AND HIS NIRE "Work and Wages of tio Coal Heav- ers and Teamsters. THE EIGHT ‘HOUR DAY QUESTION How the Horseshoers-Are Prospering —Movements of the Knights of Labor—Interviews with the Wageworkers—Notes. The Coal Heavers' Snap. 1 haven’t got but a few minutes to spare,” said a burly, good-natured coal heaveras hie fived a Jurge scoop full of black diamonds ‘from o flat car into a company bin, “If I miss getting this car unloaded within an hour the boss will have to pay demurrage, and then I'll get a roasting.” Justthen a fellow-hand stepped up and made a quiet kick because the men about the oftice drank too much water, as he had to carry it & block. His pay is' €50 per month and his duties are to clean up the loose coal out the yard, help set cars and_ assist the coal Leavers in o general way. Afterhe had gone the reporter inquired” from the coul heayver what pay he gut. e ““That depends' said he, ““The boys are pretty straight fellows and give us a dollar and 8 half for each car, big or little, and none of them hold over twenty tons. At the larger yards where we get odd jobs when there is nothing to do here, the cars average twenty tons and the pay averages $1.25 per car. “Tiow many cars do you uuload in a day?” “That depends upou how many thero are to unload and whether the bin is empty or nearly full. In the latter case it takes all day to unload one car, but if the bin isempty & good heaver can earn $1.50 in a half a day. AU the larger yards whero we dump the cheap grades of coal over the sides of the flat cars onto the grouud, & good heayer can unload a dollur car in an hour and three quarters, T've made $3 per day and put in half my time setting ca Ty it much trouble to set & cart"” ‘Now you'rs shouting. 1f the rails are slick, we have to doctor them with sand and at several yords the nigh rail is always coy- ered with tonl or gravel. ‘When acrow bur and wuscle wont answer we have to borrow a car Lifter, zn nstrument that regembles a cant hook. ' Its often more bother to set & car than to unload it.,” ““What is your busiest season i “7n the fall of the year when the dealers £ill their sheds for the wiuter trade, A man can average day then. We will aver- ago $1.50 per day the year round. The rail- road company gives the boys forty-eight hours to tnload each car and charges them $1 per car for each day after the time is up, As they often switeh in & dozen cars at once it makes us fellows bustleto get them un- loaded in time,"" Most of the coal teamsters own their own teams and are kept busy in cold weatler, but during the warm spells they stan around two-thirds of the lime waiting for orders. They get 50 conts per ton for de ering or 25 cénts for uny fraction thereof. There are sbout one hundred and fifty teamsters who make a regular business of deliveriog coal in Omaha, and about ffty ©coal boavers. Central Labor Union.

An Kighi-Hour Day. *There 1s no use in talking,' said a hard- working prominent K. of L, man, “we are going Lo have o eight-hour law in Omaha, and not far from mow. I believe it an _elghthour ordinance should be iutroduced iu the ecity council it would puss iv time. Somo of us boys have been lalking the subject over and bave about con- cluded to ask some councilmun who 18 & friend to the laboring wmav to frame and i troduce such an ordinance. We realize, of course, that the ordinance would moet with prompt opposition by a number of capitalists and perhaps some city oficials who are al- ways howling econowy. ‘They will claim that such a law will cost the city thousands of dollars & year more for wages thax is now being pwd.” We contend that the same amount of work will be accomplished by tho city employes in eight hours that is now ac- complished in ten hours.” The eight hour system promi ope iuto quite an important i next campaign rolls around Tne Tallora. The tallors of Qwaba are still st outs. to devel- before the One faction belongs to the National associay tion and the other faction wants to join a state association and drop the National in order to avoid paying annusl dnes aud special assessments. The men who have deserted tho National association expect to get their state charter this week. The scale of prices paid by the different unions will also cut a figure. Two attempts were made during the week to com- promise the aifferences, but noither was successful. There is a bare possibility that everything will b arranged satisfactorily early this week, but it is doubtful.

Says a local student of theosophy: *To every man comes sooner or later ‘the neces- sity of solving for himselt the great gues- tions, ‘whence are we, why are we and where do we go.” Now, a philosophy which establishes universal brotherhood and un- selfishness as a practical working basis, which holds all so-called phenomena as merely ef- fects of causes which are not, but may be, fully understood, and which insiats first, last and all the time, that that is not really kuowledge which is without understauding, and that is not belief 1u any seuse worthy of the term, which is not of knowledge and that 10 procesding from God, all things pro- ceed from pure reason, and ouly by reason® which, on being unwarped by prejudice and unobserved by matter, 18 pure, can anything be rightly apprehended, repays some labor spent in its study.” “*T'ho 1mpression prevails that Thoeosophy is only a sort of new dress for spiritualism. Awmong our members you will fiud spiritual: ists, and you will also bear much talk of phenomena, but there is snd must always be these radical differences between us. Spiritualists regard these mapifestations as under direct control of desparted spirits, but a theosophist, while admitting the reality of the manifestations, considers the recall of a dead personality full possession of all faculties, about as possible aud desirable as the creation of @ Fravkeuostein, The spirit or spark of divinity animates a body ju: long us that body serves its need, and then enters another body, Lower principles there are, whose separgtion from the ma- terial body into their proper elements after deith is more slow, and these, through the exercise of the powers of & mediuw, may be recalled. Such a call, however, is anything but desirable. “This knowledge is open to everyone who will give the time necessary to its acquire- ment. Theosophists urgo that no statement be taken on their authority, being unani mously of opinion that the acceptance of any proposition by one’s own reason 18 the only proof possible. Please remember the defini- tion we gavo you of belief, “‘We have no creed. Our society has for its main object tie establishment of a uni- versal brotherhood, or to quote one of our text books, attempts ‘first of all to inculeate certain great moral truths upon its disciples, aud all those who are lovers of the truth. Hence the truths adopted by the Theo- sophical society. Thero is no religion higher than truth. The chief aim of the founders of the E Theosophical school was one of the three objects of its modern successor, the Theosophical society, namely, to recon cile all religions, sects and divisions under a common system of ethics, based on eternal verities, and fully realize that any creed or set of dogmas 18 a8 impossible as it is unde- sirable, Universal brotherhood is the only thing & member 18 pledged to believe in and worlk for.” : WThere are cortain points which, with pos. sible shades of personal variation, are held as truths by all theosophists, The experi- ence of most of us is that onco undertaken, the study cannot be abandoned, for the rea- son that it won't let you alone. Reincarna- tion solves so many vexed questions of hu- n-}ife-and-the-teachiog, that ne good or ill of thought or deed butbrings its adequate recompense, will, when once grasped, cut one a little short'on the time he has been ac- customed to spend in judgment and correc- tion of somebody else’s concerns.” Items: Surenion, Neb., March 1.—[Special to Tur Bee.]—Dumap Brothers, formerly of Liberty, Neb., have located here, and are about to start a new weekly newspaper to be called the Superior Times.
