Those knight of Labor Charges.

A "Knight of Labor" last week
made the following statements in ref
erence to the ST. Louis Ore & Steel
Company:
list. That said Company have dis
charged employees solely because they
are X. of L.
I'd. That the employees are not al
lowed to trade at other than the Com
paHy's store.
Sd. That their wages are arbitrarily
Kept back ostensibly for charitable
purposes" without an account thereof
being rendered to them.
Now. we don't wish to NEEDLE with
what might in some sense be termed
}" family quarrel, "knowing that the
third party in such cases usually gets
the worst of it; but we cannot, in JUS
tice, let those statements go forth un-
cOntradicted. We are neither owned
nor controlled by any corporation on
earth, and i'm all instances will be found
fighting for the weaker party i'll its
lawful and rightful contests with band
ed and encroaching capital. But the
st. Louis Ore & Steel Company has al.
ways been so tUhite in it's treatment OF
its employees that we cannot refrain
from entering our protest against the
unfairness of the article in question.
LIST. There are scores of x. of l.. at
work i'm the mines to-day. They have
not been discharged, and do not fear
discharge. Some men were discharged
Immediately succeeding the late strike,
some of whom have since been re-em-
ployed. More recently, a few others
were discharged, but there has been no
general delivery"
Cd. There is no foundation whatever
for this charge. All the stores in Area
dia Valley will bear testimony to this.
Every payday thousands of dollars
are distributed to our tradesmen and
merchants.
The Sd charge is absolutely without
shadow of fact for founda ton. State
ments are rendered every month by the
Cashier of the Company to the board
appointed by the Association. which
board is solely its creature, and free
from any control of the Company or
its officers. This Association was
created through the efforts of the min
ers themselves, at their own sugges-
ton, and its organization was permit
ted by the Company only after four
-ffths of The men had asked for its for
nation.
These are the facts relative to the
questions at issue, and as such will be
substan tiated by the miners, as well
as the citizens of the Valley.
The st. Louis Ore & Steel Company
pays liberal wages, and pays them
promptly it guards, as far as possible,
the lives of its employees in the tunnels;
it, for years, has been striving in
various ways to obtain and retain the
better class, notably by making their
tenements comfortable, and giving
them pleasant surroundings. These are
facts that cannot be gainsaid. While
we sympathize with the laboring man
one of whom we are decidedly which
i'm all his laudable ambitions and un-
dertakings, and recognize the fact that
he is often oppressed and trodden upon.
truth is on the side of the Company
here, and to "tell the truth" is the
province of every man who believes
that the heavens will never fall
through his exercise of that preroga-
tive.

EIGHTY THOUSAND statesmen.


Important Items Concerning Their Busi-
neSs-Home for the Disabled.
One of the leading dry goods statesmen
Of the United States, tells me that there
are now about $4,000 travelling statesmen
on the road in this country, and that
their expense counts alone will aver
age ~, 800 a year each. This for expenses
alone means an outlay OF $i2O. 000, 900 n
year and il you will count in an average
salary Of $1,000 n year zach it will swell
the total to S2OO, OOO, 900 a year. This
immense sum is scattered all over the
United States. 1t keeps up the hotels,
and is one Of the o important items
OF railroad passenger receipts. The
character OF the travelling salesman has
changed within n decade past. You
will find very few boys and fewer
drunkards upon the road. The COMPETE
ton is so great and the expense so heavy
that firms have To lend out their best
men, and salaries of $1,000 and 5000 a
year are by no mean uncommon.
Said this salesman; "These travelling
men sell all sorts of goods. Some Of
them carry n half dozen heavy trunks,
and others carry their samples in their
overcoat pockets. One man know gets
500 0 n year for selling the skins which
butchers put around sausages. He
dresses like a Broadway swell and carries
his samples in n bag no larger thar a
lady's shopping sachel. The best Of such
skins are made in Europe, and butchers
buy of him everywhere. Then there is a
mar | know who travels from Boston to

grade of boot backing. Some travellers
cell by pictures of the articles they have
to sell. Clothing forms the largest class
of drummers, and next come those who
sell boots and shoes. Then we have the
dry goods statesmen. the grocer, the hard
ware men, hats and caps, and others as
numerous as there are trades and fac
tories"
Travelling men, this gentleman con-
tinued, "are, as n rule, bright, generous
fellows. They spend freely, and many
of them, when they become old and
leave the road, find themselves poor. We
have now a project to take care of dis
abled travelling men. II Is n travelling
mems home, TO be endowed by travelling
men and TO be devoted to their use. The
idea is that each one of the 10000 travel
crs is to give 81 a year for the next three
years TO such an institution. This will
make a total of $240.0 900, and from this
we will buy a farm in Kentucky, or some
other good locality. and erect comfortable
buildings, with reading-rooms, parlors,
and chambers, 30 that the occupants can
have all the comforts of life during their
declining years. We will further endow
the home by a ear or two more of con
%tributions, and the institution will be
under the care of a competent board of
managers. This project is, l understand.
to be submitted TO the next annual meet
ing Of merchant travellers. 1t has many
supporters among travelling statesmen,
and ] will not be surprised II it is carried
out. Carp" in Cleveland Leader.

A popular craze hat is daily growing
is that Of chewing gum, Men chew it
openly and above board as much ms girls,
and the practice has gone 80 rapidly be-
yond its old confines that the fame of
Vassar college MS n shrine where taffy

larity of the gum-chewing habit is due TO
the fallacy that some health journal pro-
mulgated awhile ago that as gum-chew-
ing prese rves the teeth and develops the
gums ii should be encouraged.
The fact is that gum-chewing stimu-
lates the s~alivary glands TO n degree that
is draining and exhaustive, and when
the increased secretions Of these glands
are swallowed it has an injurious effect
upon the stomach by increasing the di-
gestion without n pabulum upon which
to act save the stomach itself. 1t, at tho
same time, excites the glands OF the

Tho wIde-Awake Commercial Traveller.
Commercial travellers are an excep-
tionally alert, wide-awake, energetic
class, and they have stirred up the
sleepy atmosphere wonderfully in many
n dull old town and city. There is a
breezy vigor in their ways of talking
and trading that acts like ozone or cleo
tricity ON the stagnant air Of placid vii
lagos and dreamy county seats. They
are scattered all over the country. Every
big train west or east, north or south,
carries some of them. They are peripa-
tetic timetables, thoroughly familiar
with functions and connections and even
with the little twigs that stretch out in
every direction from the branches Of the
great railway trunks of the United
States. With all the alleviations OF
travel they are well acquainted, and
they know how TO secure every comfort
that hotels al supply. Masters Of them
selves and of their business, they accept
the incidents and accidents of their CON
slant journeying nnl the fluctuations of
trade with easy philosophy. Earth
quakes do not shake their self-possessipn
and cyclones alright them not.
The development of the system OF sell
ing goods by samples carried all over the
country by enterprising statesmen has
been prodigious. Tens Of thousands
there are of these travellers and small
