International Trunkmaker's Conven-
ffon

ST. LOUIS, July 8.-The trunkmakers'
international union, which Is now holding
Its annual convention In this city, was organ
lied year ago at Chicago, when only four
cities, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Louis and
Chicago were represented. Since that time
the growth Of the organization has been re-
markable. In the present convention twelve
cities are represented, and the prospect is
that during the next twelyemonth nearly
every city In the United States and Canada
will add its forces to the organization. The
object the organizers Of this union have
In view Is both benevolent and protective.
During sickness each member In good
standing Is allowed 81 a week II single and
81 II married, The same rule applies In
case OF strikes ordered by the international
organization The idea In the minds OF the
founders OF this union as set forth in the
preamble Of their constitution was not TO
unite as band OF secret conspirators
against the interests OF their employers,
but for the sole purpose Of maintaining 3
fair, equitable remuneration for their labor,
and to succor one another 10 cases OF dis
tress. The organization has under con-
sideratlon the establishment OF a co-opera-
tive trunk mandatory to be located In
some western or central city, for the pur-
pose OF establishing the standard rates for
work and the employment OF trunk makers
In case OF strike.

Government Is not satisfied with the result
OF the recent trial against those who shipped
arms and ammunition and men In the
American steamer Tropic 10 Mirsgoane.
Haytian Consul residing 10 this city has,
therefore, been directed to exhaust every

tents OF the boxes shipped by them on
March 10. II. A. Kearney, a shipping
commission merchant OF 20 Whitehall street,

Broadway, and arms, ammunition and
other military stores from Herman, Boxer
Co., 1913 Duane street, street, New York,
and ordered them to be shipped to Mr..
Moody at Port Antonio, through Warner g.
Merritt, and that all the arrangements for
their transportation were made by Kearney
With Chas. T.. Rogers, shipping clerk Of
Warner & Merritt.
The Haytian Government employed ex-
Attorney General MacVeigh to assist the
government officers In prosecuting those
who fitted out the expedition, and, not be-
Ing satisfied with the conviction OF captain
and mate who knew very little about the
affair, the IIaytian government has sued
Warner II Merritt upon charges OF violating
the navigation laws-carrying gunpowder
without license, carrying passengers on
