they wish they had left certain
things at home. A Chicago gentle
man, speaking of absent minded peo-
pie. remarked that his wife was one
of the most thoughtful women in
the world, but one night recently
they both dressed very carefully to
attend a large party, being anxious
for certain reasons to appear we'll.
"My wife," said he, "was greatly
concerned about me, as / am the
most absent-minded member of the
family and looked me over critically
and carefully after [ left the coat

to the drawing room where the
guests were. She was herself all
right of course, and superbly dressed.
awe went down in high feather
and had passed through all the par
lors and spent a delightful half hour
on parade duty, as it were, when
my wife suddenly turned pale, in
what [ thought was a fainting fit.
II hurried herfrom the room, and
was about to turn the house upsides
down for restoratives, when she
clutched my sleeve and pointed to
her feet. She had, before leaving
home, drawn over her shoes a pair
of my socks, and had forgotten to
remove them. The thought that
she had been parading before 300
people with those socks on was too
much for her."

sassed with desire to feed, clothe and sup.
port their families in respectable manner.
The thousands of miners and laborers who
now address you through their representa-
tives feel that they are entitled to it. Neces-
Sity demands it; the business interests of the
various communities demand it Christian
ity demands it, and every feeling of right
and justice demands it,
The objects of the Federation are to do
away with strikes and lock -outs-the barba.
rous methods which we hope have now be-
come only a matter of history-and bv
which we can guide our actions in the fu-
turc; also to prevent the fatal consequences
of rnnous competition, the result of which
falls heavily on the laborer. BY q uniform
advance in the prices of mining you will be
enabled and justified in advancing the mar
ket price of coal and thus receive the same
profit and advantages that are now yours,
while your employers will receive an atl-
vance that is badly needed.
We trust that all the operators addressed in
this circular will see the necessity of their or
Sanizlng at once, to prevent the ruinous COM
petition that row affects the coal trade BY
amalgamating the workers of the various
competing districts we set YOU an example
which we trust You Will not be slow to
follow.
If you eof the opinion that the scale pre-
pared above is not uniform or equal, you are
earnestly requested to meet the Executive
Committee in this city on Monday, March /
1856 when matters can be satisfactorily adj
jllsted.
Trusting that our efforts to remedy the
present distress among the miners of the BIZ
luminous coal regions will meet with vour
hearty cooperation, we remain very re-
spectfulIy,
