The Union BARRIERS National Con-
vention was held at Detroit last week.
The delegates adopted measures looking
10 the abolition of Sunday work and to
| the adoption of the wage instead of the
percentage system. The time for putting
in force these reforms they left optional
with the local unions. They are encour-
aged, however, by the concerted action
| in Michigan and Ohio cities in the aban-
donment of Sunday work, those where
it is now abolished being Grand Rapids,
Jackson, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Battle
Creek, Cincinnati, and Columbus. II
goes into effect in Cleveland with the
coming of the new year. The conven-
tion presented H. G. Hook, of Muskegon,
the President, with a gold headed cane
for his efficiency.

gaunee has been sold to the Schlesinger

never been more healthy activity in min
ing properties than at present, and that
the iron men of the Upper Peninsula feel
hopeful for the future. The South
Buffalo is the eighth mine Mr.. Adams
has sold this year. This seasons prod
net of the iron mines now operated by
the Schlesinger syndicate is upward Of
100000 tons, and Mr.. Schlesinger says
that it is expected to double the output
from the same mines next year.
