The -ewcrage now flows into tliis top sewer and then g?*** down into the bottom one. Now it appears that the top sower has lieeti tiller! up. or fallen in, or something like rhat. and the men art* having to tear part of it up.

A relative of rhe bov, who resides it Washington, displayed a letter received from him yesterday, which in part., read as follows: "1 am getting rather rlis? -on raged, to rell rhe truth. I bey pav nie seven dollar* a week and I can't tell whether the job is permanent or nor. They can kick ine out whenever they want t'i, I think I ought to i-,-t n larger -ahirv. for even the wmtnonwt laborer gets as much and more tbati I do now. I am keeping my eye- open f r another job and if I see some thing that offers me more pay. I'm gmrg n> rake it."

There are many, however, who as did Smith- start <,*?rnparinc their ?wlarics with those received bv men engag**l in other linen of wr?rk. Tint, there i? a big difference. The man who is getting fifty or sixty, or seventy dollar* a month, while thev are only getting twenty -five, will continue drawing that same pay during hi* until* life. And a? for being "kicked out of a job," a* Smith savs, no firm or corporation is going to rid of h man who prove* himself to 1m* faithful, ff there in any "kicking" done, it is usually because the employe is to blame ' ' However, Smith will prohjiblv follow the course that has been taken and is being taken by hundred* of other*.
