Major John W. Burst, Of Chicago,
who was Quartermaster general of the
G. A. II. under commander-in-Chicf
Lawler last year, is INC the greatest
practical jokcrs in the country, and
his mirthtul p,openSities will peep
out at the least shadow of a chance
for fun. Colonel Jack Stevens, also
of Chicago, is not so much gwen that
way, and very often can't see any fun
in Bursts nonsense. Both lost their
right legs near the hips during the
war. and while Burst is about 5 feet !
inches in height, Stephens Is pretty
close to 6 feet in his stockings.
Burst was on the G.. A. II. national
pension committee for several years,
and his duties in that line brought
him to Washington frequently. On
one Of his visits lie registered at one
of the uptown hotels with his friend
Stephens, and after %transacting some
business and having considerable fun
with the boys they retired for the
night, occupying the same room.

dancing around in il thrce-step polka

amazement. "Well, | thought some
thing was wrong with the blamed
thing. Let's swap"
And they mcandered into a private
room Of a nearby restaurant and
traded.

There can be no doubt that The
tramp is, in a certain sense, the maker
and chOoser OF his own career. The
writer's experience with these va.
grants has convinced him that, though
they are almost always the victims OF
liquor and laziness, fully four-ffths
of Americas voluntary bcggars have
begun their wide and restless ways
while still in their teens, and have
been furthcred in their wrong ten
denotes by unwise treatment applied
to them when young.
The principal causes or sources of
vagabondage, as | understand them,
may be briefly recapitulated
l. The love IF liquor,
III. Wandcrlust-thc love Of wan
dering.
III. The county Jail, owing to the
promlscuous herding OF boys and
homeless wanderers with criminals.
~. The tough and rough element
in villages and towns.
V. The comparatively innocent but
misguided pupils of the reform sch oil.
Though not, properly speaking, a
cause Of vagabondagc, the non-force-
ment of law is its nursing mother,
and misguided and misapplied charity
its base Of operations. The tramp evil
is not so much a disease as a symptom
OF public i~ll-health.

ram lowered his head. The young

wheels ran together and they were
dumped within reach of the ram.

/ adopting the system suggested may
/ at the first be somewhat slower, but
it will be accelerated in time and be
continuous and permanent
In land so bountiful, so broad and
yielding as Gus, with people earnest,
energetic and vigorous, anxious and
willing to produce the wealth so neces-
sary to their existence and comfort.
1t is an indictment Of our civilization
charging it and those responsible for
1t with the unnecessary and wanton
misery of more than a million and d
half of voorhees, workers.
In the midst of these adverse cir
maintained their existence itself
speaks well Of them. That they have
not succumbed to the fearful antagon-
ism on the one hand and the disinte-
grating influences of lack of employ
ment on the other is the best evidence
that the movement has found the cits-
del of its protection and the road to
its emancipation in the historic, the
noble and the inspiring organization
of the much-abused trades unions.
We offer as a means to the solution
of this problem the question of a re-
duction in the hours of labor. In
other words. the saving of time.
It must not for a. moment be ina gin
ed that a reduction of the hours of
labor would at all nave the tendency
to diminish either the productivity of
the laborer or the aggregate produc-
ton of the people, for it is demonstra-
bic that wherever the hours of labor
have been reduced it has been follow
ed by an increased production per cap
tia and as a whole.
Nor will the movement to reduce the
hours of labor tend either to divert
the trade or commerce Of any country
to that of any other, for, as a matter
of fact, we see the evidence plainly
that those industries where the hours
of labor are lowest more thoroughly
developed and successfully competing
with the same industries in countries
where the hours of labor are longer,
yes. longest.
View the movement to reduce the
hours of labor from any standpoint,
and you will find it based upon science
and economy, political and social ne
cessity and eXpediency, and in the line
of progress and humanity.
A reduction in the hours Of labor
gives employment to the idle and in
creases the desires, wants and necessi-
ties of the whole people. Giving
greater and better market; a nobler
manhood, a more beautiful woman
hood and a happier childhood; less
poverty idleness or drudgery; a great
er and nobler people to carry on the
struggle for better and more humane
conditions. SAMUEL GOMPERS.

BROTHERHOOD OF FIREMEN.

The local Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Fremen of Salt Lake city, and all
the lodges throughout this intermoun-
tain region, are subordinate lodges of
the national organization. Salt Lake
Lodge, No. IFS, was organized August
4, 1873, just ten years later than the
national organization. The charter
bears the following names: 3. II. Chap
man, W. J. Horne, A. M.Camoell, L.
J. Built, w. ]. Buttle and Il. ]. Rugg.
Since its organization it has had a
large membership, and has contrib
uted literally to charitable purposes,
besides being the medium through
which the sum of $4,000 was paid TO
the families of deceased members. Its
future appears as bright as its past,
and it is safe to assert that all men,
bers of the lodge are made better by
their association with the rank and
file of the order The officers at pres
ent are: r. c. Brown. master; A. D.
Springhall, vice-master; A. NJ. Davis,
secretary; John Mace, receiver; George
Woodruff, collector.
The men who make up the rank and
file of the Locomotive Firemen possess
superior qualities. The public rarely
ever meet them, and have but faint
idea of their duty, and are, therefore,
unable to appreciate the exacting re-
quirements of their position. 1t is a
very correct estimate to say that less
than one out of every ten men who are
placed firing an engine, stay at it enc
year, as they find themselves unable
to perform the duties incident to the
work. To be successful, a young man
must possess, to a high degree, phys
ical strength and endurance, vigilance,
intelligence, activity, industry and per-
severance Perhaps in any other rail-
frr,+ L.

man possesses them all to a high de-
gree, he viii be a failure at his work.
