true, but the wisdom of paying so

BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1894
THE PLAIN TRUTH.
THE GLORY OF THE STEEL
WORKS IS DEPARTING.
Supt. Robinson and hit low wage
plan—What the steel works are
coming to.
If Superintendent T. W. Itobiusou
keeps ou with bis soulless system of
enforcing reduction after reductiou on
the employes at the steel works it will
be but a very short time until he shall
have reduced that heretofore great
institution to such a wretched condi
tion that uoue but dagoes aud the
lowest class of Bobcmiaus will work
there, even respectable negroes avoid
ing the place as they would the work
house. It lias already come to pass
that in some of the departments meu
can not make out an existence on the
wages paid much less make a living,
and the end is not yet.
Ever since the unfortunate advent of
Mr. Robinson iuto the mills lie has per
sistently and systematically pursued
the blind and heartless policy of slash
ing wages and running out good men
until it begins to look as if the steel
works are to become a curse iustcud of
a blessing to be avoided as one would
a convict rock pile. The idea that men
with families to support must work in
various departments twelve hours at
$1.15 and $1.30 is something unusual to
contemplate and more than this western
couutry can comprehend Had u man
made a prediction a year ago of tbs
present state of affairs he would have
been ealled crazy. The condition of
the works is growing more wretched
every day and the general auperin
teudeut is the most thoroughly de
spised being by the public iu general
that ever attempted to run the works
or any part of them. Not only have
his methods of forcing reductions been
heartless but tyrannical as well, until be
is reaping the contempt of all worthy
citizens who know of his actions. He
has not even the respect of men whom
he thought ,to befriend by bringing
them here and giving them positions.
Bessemer man seem to be particular
marks of bis venom aud displeasure
and many of them are now out of the
works for good. If it ia Mr. Robinson’s
(native to ultimately surround himself
with a lot of dagoes and the like oyer
whom he shall ruia with supreme power
he is pursuing the right course.
AT STARVATION WAGES.
A few Figures Show a aad State of
Affairs.
There ere men employed at the steel
works who get the miserable sum of
sl.lO for twelve hour’s work and plenty
of others who receive but $1.30 and on
this many are trying to keep tbeir
families. They are actually receiving
less than the cost of living which a few
figures will show.
The Indicator is most reliably in.
formed by merchants who know that
the average bill of groceries and pre
visions per month for a family of four
will amount to at least S2O. let them
live aa economically os possible. Many
families spend twice that -amount. Any
family will use at least $lO worth of
meat each month and then not have it
every day; with meat at from 15 to IN
cents per pound $lO will not go far.
Tke actual cost of living might be
summed up thus;
Groceries and meat 1 month $30.00
Rent 1 month 10.00
One ton coal per month 4.75
Total $44.75
This does not include clotbiug,
medicine or the hundred and one things
that come up as necessaries.
The man who labors 26 working
days in month at $1.15 receives therefor
the sum of $29.80, leaving % balance
against him at the end of the month of
$14.85, or if he geta $1.30 a day the
Dalence against him is $10.05 each
month. Tbeae figures show that he is
running behind every month for actual
living expenses to say nothing of cloth
ing and sundries; at the end of a year
he would be hopelessly in debt and is
prepared to join the throng of dis
heartened bread riotors. If Super
intendent Robinson can figure out a
more economical bill of fare the In
dicator will gladly give him space and
his efforts would no doubt be greatly
appreciated by many families of Bes
semer.
Illiuois Steel Co’s Business in 1893.
The annual report of the Illinois
Steel Co, for the year ended Dec. 31
will be ready in a few days. The sales
during previaua years htve averaged
about 425,000 tons annually, with an
abnormal buainess in 1887, when the
sales aggregated over 500.000 tons.
During the past calendar year, the
total amount of business was the
smallest in the history of the company,
being 218,000. Thus far in the present
year the company has orders for only
75,000 lona, which will keep the mills
going for some time at Joliet. The re
port will show n surplus earned, above
nil interest charge*, of $584,000, a little
•?er 8 per cent, on the stock. A
director of tho company aays that the
declaration of n dividend will not be
iiwr*-* —-* m the preeeat ou iook for
MaM dnee not warroat It.—lran
The Situation.
The friends aud foes af annexation in J
Pueblo, divided chiefly by the muddy ,
Kaw, are still wrestling with the legal i
points involved in the calling of a
special election on annexation with this
town. The mandamus made against
Mayor strait to compel him to issue u
proclamation to that effect has been
withdrawn and Alderman Valentine as
president of the council whs to have
called a special meeting Thursday night
aud ignoring the existence of Mr. Strait
issue the call himself, but for some
reason be did not do it Perhaps it
will yet be done. With this exception
the situation is unchanged.
The advocates of annexation have
blundered, for such a proceeding would
be clearly illegal, and Mr. Valentine
would be enjoined from issuing such
proclamation by the opposition within
an hour after the measure passed the
council. It would seem that the an
nex people have permitted tbeir great
unxiety to get the better of their
judgment and are playiug u losing
gnme. Next Wednesday is the last
day ou which a proclamation can be
legally issued and since proceedings
against Mayor Strait have been with
drawn it i 6 safe to say that none will be
proclaim'd. Mayor Strait is still Mayor
of Pueblo.
To be Elected.
Following is a list of the officers to
lie elected at the approaching municipal
election to be held April 3rd:
One attorney.
One marshal,
One clerk,
Oue treasurer.
One street supervisor,
Oue alderman from lsi word.
One alderman from 2nd ward.
One alderman from 3rd ward,
One alderman from 4tb ward.
Alderman L. W. Kirk's term expires
in the Ist, M. Martin's iu the 2ud, U
C. Panuebaker's in the 3rd and W. 8.
Keltner’s in the 4th. With the ex
ception of Attorney Lennard who will
not again aspire to the office he now
holds, all the others will very likely
stand for re-election.
After the Senate.
In the legislature on last Saturday
the senate adopted a schedule of prices
for the publication of the delinquent
tax list as follows: 35 cents per inch for
the first insertion aud 20 cents for each
subsequent insertion. Why not com
pel the printers to publish the list for
nothing and appropriate their fees to
the payment of the extra session? They
could in this way probably obtain
enough money to continue a session
three days longer. The newspapers
would chsarfully acquiesce merely for
the gratification of aiding men who
haven’t seusa enough to earn a living in
any other manner. The members who
are not knaves have not sense enough
combined to furnish the brains nec
essary to properly equip a brass
monkey.—Lamar Sparka.
Another Reduction.
This time it is 46 per cant anu it is
the converter employes who got it.
They accepted the inevitable and most
of the men will go to work at the re
duced scale when the converter starts
up about March 10. Surely Supt. Rob
insou is backed up in this work by the
management. It would be difficult to
tell just where to draw the line.
