One of the notable holiday volumes is
GA Book of Old English Ballads"
which is prefaced by an essay from the
pen of Hamilton W.. Mabie on the bal
lod-form and the ballad-spirit, and is
illustrated with numerous decorative
drawings by George Wharton Edwards,
which deserve more than a mere pass
ing word of praise. Unlike most mod
ern decorative drawings, these do not
produce their effect SO much by good
spots" as by good lines. A return to
this older. more difficult and more
legitimate method is a great relief to
the eyes that have beheld so much
Observation-Disclosures of late years.
These drawings have distinction and
charm. They reproduce admirably
yet are kept decidedly decora-
tive, rather than pictorial IN
intention and execution. Some
of them lack a little in effect, which
is, possibly, due to the fact that they
are printed in a dull green Ink instead
Of black, but on the whole they are a
very satisfactory accompaniment to

lads which make up the text The

1.-The Scarlet Coat" is a commendable
but not remarkable adventure into the
field of American historical fiction. The
book relates the modest part played by
one, Capt. Kenneth, in the siege of
Yorktown and some incidents in his
life preceding that event. The story is
rather colorless in spite of its warm
title and flaming scarlet cover. The
hero is just an average man, and his
adventures are such as might reason
ably have happened, but the atmos-
phere of the book is that of a romance.

Mr. Robert Chambers has facile
pen, a lively Imagination and a just APP
probation of the kind of book man
who desires distraction wants to read.
These gifts have enabled him 30 write
some Ve-y acceptable and popular
novels and several good short stories.
A collection Of these latter, mixed with
a number which are not good at all,
is published under the title of 'The
Maker of Moons The vast improb-
ability of the title story does not de-
tract in the least from its merits. 1t
is avowedly yarn" and very good
one, involving some mystic woods in
Canada filled with strange beasts and
owned by Chinese Sorcerer, who
snufactures gold which he sells TO a
gang Of desperadoes. A party of New
Workers. who attempt to put an end
to the Gesperadoes, meet with strange
and exciting adventures by the way
and it is all as weird and thrilling as
may be. This is the best story in the
book. The worst is an inconSequent
tale entitled THE Man at the Next
Table" in which hypnotism, trans
migration. mahatmas and a lost
diamond are inextricably entangled to-
gether in a hodge-podge which no sane
mind can read and enjoy. It is only
by remembering that Mr.. Chambers
wrote the tale for New York Sunday
paper that one finds any excuse for
it's being. The readers of the New
York Sunday papers are not particular
about sanity and Conference, but, since
Mr.. Chambers has a great many read

arc still Of some account, we implore
him to exclude from his subsequent
volumes EalIA tales bearing any relation

mechanics there would be fewer build
ings of faulty construction, and conse-
quently less danger TO life through ac-
cidents, and some of the delegates to
today's convention are under instruc-
tons to interest THE federation in this
particular legislation.
The federation maintained a paid lob

session Of the legislature, and it is
generally admitted that much good re-

In all probability it will be decided to
continue the lobby at the coming SEES
sion.
OF the 1888 bakers interviewed by
the New York state bureau of labor
in the several cities of that state, 896
reported that they were members of
labor organizations and 1857 were not
organized. From the recapitulated
table of the statistics obtained it is
shown that the average union and
non-unlon rates of wages and hours
OF labor per week of three grades Of
workmen, together with the general
averages, are as follows: First hands,
union, wages, $14.24; hours, 81 2-3; non
union, wages, $13.16; hours, 70; second
hands, union, wages, $10.41; hours, So;
non-union, wages, 1921; hours, rs; third
hands, union, wages, 1882; hours, So;
ncn-union, wages, s5.41; hours, 741a;
general average, union, wages. $11.86;
hours, 6S72; non-union, wages, 1920:
hours 74A.
The foregoing proves what has been
proved thousands Of times, simply that
non-union men when working at the
same trade as union men, and fire.
Quently when they are working for
the same employer and under exactly
the same conditions, are forced to labor
longer hours for less pay than is re-
ceived by the member of the union.
The difference between the rate Of
wages and the hours of labor Is what
the non-unionist pays for his 'fnde-
pendence." as he himself sometimes
styles it.
