It is proposed to form an organization of businessmen, build an athletic field and hire a crackerjack team. Possibly a league will be formed with teams at the following towns: Fowler, Boswell, Oxford, Hoopeston, Attica, Williamsport and Sheldon. Rensselaer ought to get in on this league. The Republican informed last week by Geprge ISiufman that he had just started to. work with his team after an idleness of three Weeks. He was offered two or three hauling jobs at $3 per day but refused to work his teairi for that price, although he reported that a number of others were doing so. Every, reader of this paper knows that men can not support their families on $3 per day and feed a team at' the high prices of feed. Teamsters should have $4.50 or $5.00 per* day. Horses are to be shod, wagons repaired and many incidentals besides the feed and the labor in the care of the animals in addition to the day’s labor with the team. Labor receives from $2 to per day, either is small enough, but when a team is thrown in at anything less than $4.50 and/ we believe it should be $5, the man is going to have a hard time getting through. Rents,' to pay, food to provide, clothing for the family and something for pleasure. It is not fair to expect a man with a team to work for such wages and it is hoped the time will come when employers meet this proposition fairly.
