Somej I can’t get work and others are preI pared to lay up* for the winter on I the proceeds of high wages made I during the summer. I “Unable to get a room to sleep in, many are spending the nights in barrel houses and in paries.” Labor, said Miller, is now begin- I ning to be a drug on the* market. I Instead .of hiring more men, said I ! Miller, railroads and other indue- I tries are cutting the working day I from ten to eight hours;' Most all western railroads have I

I already done this,” said Miller. I “Few shipments are being made I and wages are less in that workers I get paid for eight hours work where I before they worked ten.” - I Most of the workers, employment (agents said, are coming in from the I far northwest.
