SUNDAY AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

The decision of Chief Justice Fuller
granting an appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
matter Of the injunction pre- venting
the Sunday opening of the Worlds
Fair is victory for the management
of the Fair, and means that the Fair
will remain open on Sunday from
now until the end because before the
Supreme Court will have an oppor-
tunity to hear and pass upon the ap-
peal the Fair will have closed its
gates. The decision of Chief Justice
Fuller was as much of victory for
the masses of the people as the di-
rectory of the Fair, and as such will
be applauded by the country.-N. o.
States.
And it could have added a still
greater victory for the devil.
1t is just such victory as the bun
co steerer obtains over his victim, the
three card monte man over the limo
cent. In fact just such as that deep
est dyed of all scoundrels, the conf
dence betrayer, obtains over the one
who has implicitly trusted him and by
giving him charge of affairs enables
the william to carry out his nefariou'
design.
1t was distinct and positive agree
ment that the management of thi.
Columbian Exposition should have Sc
much money from Congress unde
the express condition that the gate
should remain closed on Sunday
The conditions were accepted, tn,
contract was deliberately violated b.
the managers, and now the States
with much enthusiasm declares it
victory for that management. Ant
, worst of al the courts seem to hav
deliberately connived at the infa
nous act, we say infamous becaus
nothing less will portray the tru
nature of this double dealing.

petition.
speciaI TsIscrGm to ns Re0tstsr.
MARION, IND, July 11.-President
Smith in his annual report, presented to
the American Flint Glass Workers
Convention to-day, recommended that
union workmen be permitted to work
during the summer stop on such glass
ware as is now manufactured in nom
union factories. This he claims Will
not only be an aid to union workmen,
but allow union manufacturers to hold
their orders. Heretofore all union fac
tories have shut down during July and
August, but the adoption OF President
Smiths recommendation would make
work continuous in factories turning
out blown and pressed tumblers, bulbs,
tubing, TASKS and jars. President Smith
also recommends new plan for dealing
with non-union competition, which he
terms the bounty system, concerning
which he says:
"By the bounty system, we mean TO
agree to let our members make certain
goods at the same price as that at which
the same goods are made In non-union
houses and TO pay them, out OF an as
sessment TO be levied on the trade, the
difference between the price at which
they may work and the price specified
on the union list. To illustrate this
point. let us say that non-union bottle
house employs eight shops, paying
them ninety per cent. Of the union list.
Assuming these shops TO be able TO pro-
duce the same quantity as members OF
the union and putting the weekly earn
ings Of eight union shops working to the
list at 5000, the non-union blowers would
receive for the same work $40. Work
ing under the bounty system, then, our
union would make up the difference to
It's workers, amounting to $50. 1t will
be observed that the association Is now
fighting non-unionists at the cost OF $50
for the eight shops, whereas under the
old plan Of supporting the eight shops
on strike would be S144 week. In try
ing this project we think 1t should be
tried only on one line OF goods. and II
possible should DO tried on the prescrip-
ton department against those houses
whose limited capital would not permit

Secretary Dillon made his annual re-

there are 400 members OF the union

The convention to-day sent tele-
gram OF fraternal greeting to the Green
Glass Workers Association Of the Uni-

annual session in Milwaukee yesterday.
A special committee was appointed
to-day to prepare uniform price list

drawing a goud salary, were on the
Totally disabled" roll, getting pensions
Of S72 a month. The department en-
ploye came and went to and from his
work every day, without the aid OF an
attendant, indeed, he is man In appar-
ent good health, and no one
casually looking at him would sup
pose he was totally disabled.
He was ordered before the medical
board for re-examination but did not
want to go until ne had few days
'for preparation" finally he went on
the day on which he was ordered, and
was found to be in as good physical
condition and as well able to take care
of himself as most men Of his age. BY
no stretch Of the law could he be class
ed as totally disabled, and his pension
was reduced to SIT a month. The other
case was that OF a musician, who
Is we'll known In society as a
freouenter of musicaleS and receptions,
where he entertains the guests with his
performance. He went about freely
without an attendant, for which he
plainly had no need, yet he was getting
