THE IRON MoLDERS.
An Unexpected Hitch in the Proceed
ings of the Convention.

ings of the Convention.
ST.. LOUIS, NO., July l3.-An unexpect-
ed hitch in the proceedings OF the Iron
Molders convention was met yesterday
morning when the committee on creden-
tials seated l3l delegates and opposed the
admission of nineteen on the ground that
the unions they represented had not paid
their dues to the national union. The
national organization paws its delegates So
per day, and mileage is received. The
unions pay per capita assessments. A
long discussion led to compromise, by
which part OF the contesting delegates
were admitted, rather than delay the bust
ness before the convention. Reports OF Of
ficers were received and the hours OF SEES
sion were fixed at to o'clock am. and 2
TO 4:30 o'clock pm. Secretary Fox made
report, showing receipts in general fund
500, 1926 76 disbursements, So, 379.69; bal
ance cash on hand, S3,9iZ07.
The strike fund showed the following re-
ceipts; Cash on hand June 20, 1856,
$ji5 10; received to date, $50, SIG %; re-
turned by Union No. A, $40; total, $780,
O6S.93.
The disbursements amounted to $685.
1884, divided among eighteen unions,
st. Louis union, No. 10, receiving 81 ,529
OF this amount. The sum Of 5000. 80 was
paid to members who were discharged for
belonging TO shop committees. There re-
mains balance to the credit OF the strike
fund Of =, 1889.
During the years 1886 and 1857 there
were twenty-five disagrcements between
employers and union molders over wages
and hours OF labor. A summary OF these
differences shows twelve cases settled on
terms favorable to the molders, seven de-
feals, one case undecided and two strikes
in progress. Tho great strike Of March,
1887, in the Bridge Reach stove foundry
was notable defeat to the molders' asso-
citation, who furnished aid to the strikers
for half year and then withdrew from
the conflict.
According to the books Of the associa.
ton, this strike cost Union No. 10 alone
the sum OF S3,3i0.l0. The organization Of
the Manufacturers Defense association was
the direct outgrowth OF this strike. The
net increase Of membership has been 3,57l.
There will be no session today, the mem.
bers Of the convention going on an excur.
sion on the river.

ERAGM ENTS,
BY AUGUSTUS CURREY.

Life is not lived without its cost,
Though well the wisest scheme and plan.
The most we gather seems but lost
In daily sustenance of the man.
The little that survives the years,
Is, but al best the broken bread,
The scanty fragments, wet with tears,
And dropped by us discomtitted.
And yet, oh, sorrowing soul. the crumb
By grace of God Is magnifed.
When we grown weary, would succumb,
1t feeds and makes us satisfied.
Gray rocks beside the .gnawing sea,
And sterile hillsides bleak with sanQ
In Gods hereafter, come to be
The daintiest pastures of the land.
Move on, atomic fragments, move!
And man, your scattered Titles press
In molds where one whose hands in love
Shapes all to forms of loveliness.
And from the fragments of your lives,
In lines of beauty rich and warm,
Brings that to being, which survives,
And from whose pattern men perform,
OF the old victor, crowned with leaves,
Held only fragments on his head
The same green laurel he receives
Who sleepeth in his churchyard bed.
And we may learn how life is blessed
From one rejected fragment stone,
On whose foundation we, distressed,
Build into beauty not our own.
Not dust and fragments, after all;
When God with goodness touches then
Beheld their glory, as the stall
He touched for us at Bethlehem.

The Old and the New.

Gen. McCook, secretary of the senate,
has prepared an elaborate list Of United
States senators, which shows at .
glance who are old senator's and who
are new ones. Edmunds of Vermont,
is the Oldest senator in continuous
service having first come to the senate
on April 5. 1866. His colleague. the
venerable Justin s. Morrill, of Vermont,
comes next in the length OF service.
having commenced his first term on
March 4 1867. Think of . junior
senator from Vermont who has served
over twenty years in the senate, after
having served twelve years in the house
of representatives, and who will be 76
years of age next April The senior
senators. Mr.. Edmunds, never served In
the house. The third senator m length
of service is Eli Salisbury Of Delaware.
who came in on March 4, 1871. and the
fourth is Matt w. Ransom OF North
Carolina, whose service began on April
"a, 1872. OF the seventy-eight members
of the senate, less than score (only
ninetcen) were in the senate ten years
ago. Only the four mentioned go
further back in senatorial service than
the beginning of Grants second term,
and of the others who were sworn in
on that day-Marcn 4, 1s73-only three
remain in the senate now-Allison.

Paul was of All exceedingly Jealous

..Why did he nuke you take these

.tWell, he would bring men home
and introduce them to me, but I didn't
