UNION LABEL FOR HOUSES.
A Plan to Make Non Union Built
Houses Unpopular.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE unions in
the building trades here received word
yesterday from the building trades of
Louisville that an effort is being made
in that city to adopt a label for build
ings erected by organized labor.
If it can be put into practical shape
the unions believe that a landlord with
a non-union house or a union man Hv-
ing in a non-union house will have a
hard time.
None of the labor leaders here would
say whether an attempt would be made
to adopt such a plan in this city.

The Philadelphia Times gives an ac-
count OF a singular accident which oc-
CURED the other day in that city. Two
Italian boys, with a hand organ and q
monkey, we're amusing a crowd and
incidentally collecting pennies at
street corner, when the monkeys atten-
ton was caught by roll of pasteboard
which he found near the curbstone
Angelo, the older boy, who was
turning the crank, stopped for mo-
ment to chide the monkey for his mat
tention to business. The Gliding had
no effect, and the other fellow, Michael,
after some difficulty, got the paste
board and carried ii to his brother,
who, with a curiosity equal TO the
monkeys, began striking il against the
organ.
The crowd by this time was edging
back, and several voices called to the
Italians to be careful what they were
about; for the crowd saw plainly
enough that the mysterious object was
nothing but a cartridge
The Italians understood no English,
and presently there was a flash and a
report and the two boys were dancing
about the pavement, Angelo wringing
his hands, while Michael had both hands
70 his head. The organ. badly dam
aged, lay on the sidewalk, and the
monkey sat at the top of lamp post
An examination Of the boys after
they weret taken to the hospital showed
that one Of them had lost the thumb
and forefneer of his right hand. while
the other had received a scalp wound
