MINNEAPOLIS COMMENT.

The difficulties between the cigar
makers union and Chandler came to an
issue during the past week. Unable to
settle the difference in any other way,
the union men were forced to leave the
shop until such time as Mr.. Chandler
may be willing to recognize union regu-
lations. f. c. Lauer is also another
manufacturer who thinks he cannot af-
ford to pay the union scale of wages, so
the union men have quit that shop.
Thus far no settlement has been reached.
The cigarmakers' union is backed by
every labor organization in the city, and
has no intention of allowing its MEM
beers to work in either place unless it is
run as union shop. All organized
men will refuse to buy cigars manufac-
tured by either dealer so long as they
do not bear the blue label. The trade
! and labor assembly. after a careful in
vestigatiOn of thetsmatter. decides to
sustain the action of the cigarmakers,
and instructs all delegates to so report
1cigarmakers every possible aid. This
trouble has long been expected, and
there is also a feeling among
other trade unions that if the
cigarmakers are defeated the other
) trade unions may prepare themselves
for a similar struggle. So they think
z il will be more economical and salts
factory to use the present difficulty with
the cigarmakers as an illustration that
it is simply waste of time to attempt
now to crush out labor organizations.

Ancient Mauuacripta

The best ancient manuscripts were written on vellum or calfskin. This is supposed to have been made from the skins of antelopes It seems to have been a providential circumstance that the Bible text was transmitted on such durable material, otherwise our Bible might have been as fagmentary as the papyrus rolls exhumed from Hercu- laneum. Another notable feature of early Biblical manuscripts was the ex- actness and beauty of the writing. Every letter seemed to have been formed with religious sorupulousneas. The letters are all capitals, and there are no breaks between the words ex- cept at the end of sentences. Ca1g- raphy was an art. Men who could not read their own writing could dio- tate and have their writings rewritten by an elegant copyist, and the manu- script was almost as readable as 8 printed book today, the difference be- ing in the expense of the copying and the duplication of copies.-New York Mail and Express.
