NEWS OF THE UNIONS.

II is about settled that none of the trades or
labor unions will turn out in the Fourth OF
July parade. Several members of the different
unions were asked by PosT-INTELLIGENcERr re-
porter Saturday why the unions showed no in
ciination to participate in the parade. The gen.
eral reply was that the time was too
short after the invitation was received that
the Western Central Labor Union would have to
lead in the matter and have q committee go
around to urge the different organizations to
turn out; that this would require at least three
to four weeks, and instead of that less than two
weeks notice was given; that a number of the
unions do not meet oftener than once in two
weeks, and therefore could not take action on
the matter at all; and that rather than make q
poor showing, they perferred not to turn out at
all.
The boycott committee of the Western Central
Labor Union has made an investigation regard
ing the use of fraudulent labels on cigars sold
in the city, and has found that large proper
ton of them bear this spurious mark.
The White Cooks and Walters Union has
changed its headquarters and place of meeting
from the Western Central Labor Union hall to
rooms 80 and 40, on the third floor of the Hinck-
ley block.
The Carpenters Union will give grand ball
in the Armory on the evening OF the Fourth of
July. The White Cooks and Walters Union will
furnish the supper.

TRADE AND LABOR.
Brewery Drivers Still Have to
Work Sundays.
BOYCOTT oFTHE EASTERN BEER.
Statistics OF the Cigarmakers' Union
show Fewer Strikes and More
Benefts-Trade Notes.

The question of Sunday delivery In still un-
settled between the beer wagon drivers and the
brewers. The drivers had decided 70 refuse to
make deliveries a week ago yesterday, but on
after consideration it was thought best to con-
tinue the practice for a while longer The
drivers intend to make an effort very soon, how
ever, TO stop the custom by refusing to make
Sunday deliveries, but they are taking it easy
for a time in hopes of reaching mutual agree
ment with the bosses.
Then there il another question in which the
bosses and employees are both interested TO some
extent, and that is the opposition of the labor
unions to Eastern beer on account of its being
under boycott, the result of a lockout of the
union brewery workmen. The boycott commit
tee of the Western Central Labor Union held .
meeting yesterday with the executive commit
tee of the Brewery Workmens Union to con-
slider the best means OF prosecuting this boycott.
OF course the restriction of the sale of Eastern
beer is q step not calculated to injure the feel
ings OF the local brewers, and some shrewd
union men think it may be the means of Undue
ing them to yield more readily to the demands
OF the drivers
The annual financial report of the Interna-
tional Cigarmakers' Union recently issued
shows that on January /, of the present year,
there were "a, 624 members in good standing in
the union. The receipts of all the local unions
for the year 1890 amounted to s29l, 230.SS, and
the balances in the treasures on January l. 1891,
to 1888, The average amount expended In
strikes annually for the past twelve years was
s3z075, while the expenditure for this purpose
last year was only slS,4l427, and for the year be-
fore only about one-third that amount. The
average amount expended in sick benefits an.
nually the past twelve years was So, 7S7, while
last year those benefits amounted to about twice
that sum. This shows O tendency toward fewer
strikes and more benefits In the union.

WRITING FOR ETERNITY"
Pilates Answer the Text of Rev. James
Sunderland.


Rev James Sunderland preached yesterday
morning at the First Baptist church upon the
subject of ''Writing for Eternity" He chose as

ton written above the head of the crucifed
Savior, "Jesus, of Nazareth, the king of the
Jews" and OF Pilates answer, contained in the
text, when the Jews besought him to change the
writing. In that writing PLATE made an incl
facable record. So, too, by his acts is every hui
man being making an ineffacable record.
This record of a human life may be divided
into four volumes The first of these is the
book of memory. Here is inscribed indelibly
every past word and deed, which are constantly
brought 10 mind.
The second volume is the book OF our own
characters. Here is written the real man as
weighed in the balance of truth Every one OF
1000 acts and thoughts are each day put on rec
ord.
The third volume is that OF influence. In
this book is Il writing upon other memories and
other characters. Here is put down our in
fluence by our conduct for good or evil upon
the lives OF others.
The fourth and most important volume is the
book of Gods remembrance. Here is the most
exact and important record of our lives. Here
is registered a photograph OF every thought.
word and deed of our life. This will be the
record by which we are to be judged upon the
day of final accounting.
The speaker interwove into his interesting
and intelligent discourse frequent apt illustra-
tons and closed with an earnest entreaiy for

tonight, the Portland 0regonidn, at the close Of
their engagement in that city week before last,
said: "Daniel Frohman's company has now APP

no such dramatic performances have ever been
given in Portland. The Lyceum company came
heralded as an organization OF great excellence,

this company has become favorite here. The
charm OF the company's work lies in its SIM

ture. 1t is the art which conceals art The
mechanism is not visible, and the illusion il so
perfect that the audience is unconsciously
drawn into the world which the actor depicts.
The women of the company are handsome in

of inelooking manhood, and it can now be lit
