How to Help Your Union.

This, from the Railroad Telegrapher,
is applicable to members Of other unions
and brOtherhoods:
MANY a telegrapher working nights
would be glad to help the cause Of union
ism along In his spare moments If he
knew how. One very effective way of
doing this is to write a non-member a
letter and ask him pointedly what OBJ
jections he has to joining the union of
his craft. When the answer comes 1t Is
fun to see how the arguments can be de-
mOllshed by little quiet thinking. This
method pursued with the requisite
courtesy makes new members, who gen.
orally stay organized for the rest Of their
lives. An active worker can have a
hundred names on the list at the same
time. 1t may keep him busy, but he has
the glorious satisfaction of knowing that
he Is doing some good while he lives"

To accomplish this purpose, DR..

Once used, they are always in favor.
Their secondary effect is to keep the

Hence, their great popularity with suf-

Americas first national labor organi-
ZatiOn was founded at Baltimore in 1866,
under the name Of the National Labor
Union. Delegates from sixty labor unions
formed the first convention, says the Chi
cago Federationist This association
continued In effect until 1881. when a
reorganization took place at Pittsburg,
Pa, and the name was changed to the
Federation of Organized Trades and La
hor Unions of the United States and
Canada. AT convention held five years
later at Columbus, Ohio, the old fedora
tiOn was dissolved and the present Or
ganization brought into existence. In
1890, according to the most authentic
authority its membership was about
100000, with sixty-eight trades unions
and over 1000 local unions affiliated. At
this time, 1898, there are sixty national
and international trades unions, eleven
State branches, eighty-one city central
bodies and ass local unions with total
membership of nearly 100000 wage
earners.

which it was alleged had been cut down
by several being excused at the time of
the Reynolds trial The request was
disregarded, and then the defense en-
tered another objection, which was that
the trial should not proceed until Bert
Emblem, a witness for the plaintiff, Is
produced. Young Emblem Is a page Of
the circuit court who is now out of the
city on his vacation, making 1t impossi-
BILE to serve the summons. The Objec-

early in the morning. carrying a basket
full OF goods, and he caught a glimpse
of sllverware. Later he went through

a watch that had been stolen from him,
and while there found the sIlverware.
