The American nranch TO Meet Here when

The American 'Longshoremen's Union will be-
gin its first annual convention at Greenwich
Hall, Christopher and Hudson streets, to-mor-
row. On the same day and at the SAM hour, as
nearly as can be arranged, the National Union
of Dock Laborers OF Great Britain and Ireland
will begin its annual convention in Liverpool.
Each convention will last five days, and while
they arc in progress each will be kept informed
by cable OF what the other is doing. Both organ
~izations were founded by Edward McHugh, the
English labor leader who was sent here In Sep,

Ship. Dock. and River Workers to organize the

'Longshoremen's Union In New York and yicin-

Of the American 'Longshoremen's Union, and
Bolton Hall 10 its Treasurer. Mr.. Hall became
an officer solely through the interest he takes in
the labor movement.
Mr.. McHugh considers that up to date he has
been very successful in organizing the long
shoremen. He found them with no organization
and very apathetic as to trades unions: He
started in with open-air meetings at tho different
piers along the east and west side river fronts,
and his manner OF presenting his arguments for
longshoremen. McHugh organized the Nation

1t controls every port north of Liverpool. while
the London DOckers' Union controls every port
south of Liverpool. Both belong to the Inter
national Federation.

THE Bishop let him try his hand at training

three weeks before, the beginning OF Lent, and
there going through n thorough course OF treat,

i. is difficult to state with any degree OF &C
curacy when tobacco was first introduced into
Europe, but 1, is generally believed that Sir
Walter Raleigh took 1t TO England toward tho
end OF the sixteenth century. With the intro
duction of tobacco came the need Of tobacco
pipes. as before tobacco smoking began tho
smoking OF herbs and leaves even for medicinal
purposes was not at all general. 1t Is stated that
at Braseley. In Shropshire, the FIST clay pipes
were made; and although many are made In
Glasgow and elsewhere, yet the Braseley clay
pipes are the best known among old smokers the
world over, and their manufacture Is still con-

ADVENTURES OF 4 STUFFED CAT

Lost at Sea. Found by - Clam Raker. and
shelVed In n Barroom.
Clam rakers are early risers. and they often
find queer things in the sand, especially after a
storm. The other morning Skipper Vince
Decker of the Great Kills. Staten Island. kicked
n dead cat out Of his way as he was walking
along the beach toward the spot where he keeps
his oyster boat.
Vince was astonished at the effect OF his kick.
The cat went whirling in the air, and then
s~quatted about fifty feet in front OF him. Vince
walked toward it, and suddenly came to a stand
still. The cat sat motionless, staring at him
with its great wild eyes.
Poor puss!" said Vince; but puss never
moved a muscle.
Vince advanced with extreme caution. He
never had much confidence in cats. Soon he
became convinced chat puss had no evil inten-
tions.
May l be keelhauled! A stuff, by the Great
Kills!" he muttered as he picked the thing up.

sea they noticed the cat. Then there was a roar
of laughter such as is seldom heard, even among
the clam rakers. Soon CrocherOn arrived, and
his indignation increased the fun. Drawing his
big knife, he went for that cat, cut IL loose. and
tossed IL overheard In a rage. while the boatmen
laughed loud enough to scurry a school of moss
bunkers.
Some days afterward the cat returned to the
beach, and was picked up by Maurice Fitzgerald
OF the Excelsior. a hotel frequented by fisher
men,. Fitzgerald placed It on the stoop TO be adj
mircd by Mike, the bartender. Mike took pity
on II. washed Its face, removed the eel grass and
rockwecd from its back, dried 1t In the sun, and
gave 1t a brushing. When Toms toilet was
made. IL appeared TO be a rather good-looking
roof rounder, and, judging by it's ears, the hero
body's darling, for the little board upon which
Its paws were securely fastened bore evidence
OF having at one time supported "a glass globe.
1t was also covered by a piece of sea-soaked satin.
Mike placed the founding on a shelf In q con-
spicuous position In the barroom. and Billy
Nolte. the Sandy Hook poet, penned some senti-
mental lines upon a card which he tied with a
yellow ribbon to the cats neck. Among them
are the following:
