THE LABOR TRUST.
New York SUM-

1t is not surprising that the repre-
sentatives Of the labor unions were very
shy of attacking trusts at the recent
Chicago conference, as reported thus by
a correspondent of the Evening Post:
The organized labor people criticised
the legislation adopted in restraint of
trusts, which, they said, had been ap-
piled to labor organizations by the
courts. They claimed that there was a
vital difference between a combination
of labor and one OF capital, in that the
labor combination was Inclusive and In
vted all men belonging to the craft to.
join 1T, whereas the capitalistic corpor-
alton was essentially monopoly, ex-
GLIDING all except Its members from its
benefits"
Actually the exclusion Of "all except
It's members from it's benefits" is the
first principle of the labor union trust"
itself. Not only are they excluded from
its benefits. but it's whole power is ex-
tended positively to injure them. They
are treated as "scabs'' and the union
uses every means within its power to
prevent their obtaining employment.
Members of the union refuse to work
with them, resort to q strike if they are
ruin the business by deserving 1t at a
critical moment and by inducing a boy
colt of it. The unions say practically
to workmen: Unless you join our
trusts we will do everything possible to
prevent your working at all and reduce
you to starvation" They undertake to
hound every workman who is not in the
union, to subject him to social ostra-
cism, and to terrorize employers so that
they shall not dare to employ such u
workman.
OF course the union Invites all men
belonging to the craft to enter 1t" for it
seeks to build up labor monopoly, but
the penalties for refusal to accept the
Invitation are the unrelenting hostility
of the union. They do not respect the
liberty of choice of a workman. but
deny to him entirely the exercise of
freedom by subjecting him to duress.
You are free to come into the union
they say, but If you stay out you dc
so at your peril and at the peril Of any
one who employs you

Getting fur quality just right

if carelessly removed it will
be weak in spots, if poorly

BROOM CORN SEED.
Traditions Says Franklin Planted the
First i'm This Country.

Bunal Express.
Every housewife is supposed to know
how to handle a broom, but Ii is safe TO
say that not one in ten has any clear
idea OF what her sweeping utenSil is made
of, or how it is made, or where the ma
terial came from. Brooms are made from
a first cousin to our common field corn,
and in this connection is told q very pleas
ant little fairy story concerning Benjamin
Franklin. Poor Richard" by the way,
seems to have been about the biggest jack
of-all-trades that ever helped the United
States to become the richest and most pow
erful nation of he world. If this story is
true he is the patron saint of the house
wife and the broommaker, as well as a
kite flyer, lightning catcher. printer, pub
Usher, editor, author, philosopher, states
man and other things too numerous 10
mention"
there it was carried to Europe. The story
goes that DR.. Franklin was examining a
whisk broom that had been brought over
from England in the days before We had
n broom corn of our own. He found a
single seed on the broom. picked 1t of.
planted il and raised a stalk of corn from
which descended, so TO speak, all of the
broom corn of the United States. However
this may be, broom corn grows much like its
first cousin, our maize. which originated
here. The head is larger. however, and the
seeds grow on the head instead OF in ears.
The heads are cut off, leaving about six
inches of stalk, and the seeds are scraped
off by a machine, which does a clean job and
does not injure the broom. The seeds are
valuable In a way. They are fed to horses
and poultry and ground into meal for cattle.
In the making Of the brooms the corn is
put around a handle of Eastwood or soft
maple turned in a lathe. Each layer is
wound tight with Irvine or wire until the
desired size is attained. The broom is then
pressed out fiat and sewed TO keep il in that
shape. Whisk brooms are made in the same
W1V.

MEXICAN BEANS ON A CLOCK.
jewelers. Ingenious Device Proves a
Great Attraction.
Scientific American.


A few years ago public curiosity was ex-
cited by the curious beans called the devil
beans of Mexico which shopkeepers placed
I'm their windows. They somewhat resembled
They were also known as the "jumpin
BEANS" owing to the fact that from time to
time they made movements
which propelled them quite a little distance.
The beans grew on a small bush In the Mex
lean mountains, and 1t is conjectured that
they belong to the order euphorbiaceae. The
bean really consisted of three similar pods
which formed a single bean. 1t is usually a
third of the bean which was exhibited as a
curiosity. On opening the pod IL was found
that ii contained a small iarya something
like that frequently found in chestnuts. 1t
is this little occupant which gives the mo-
ton TO the bean by its jerks and thumps
slightly warmed ii begins to turn from side
to side, and perhaps with a sudden jump
turns completely over and stands on one
end. and then by successive jumps moves
quite a distance.
Those who are not in the secret are often
greatly puzzled by this strange bean. An
enterprising jeweler devised a scheme of
utilizing them to make a magic clock. He
accomplished this by initiating the shape
of two of the beans. making the dummy
the other he I siIvered. The p pr 3 iron
beans were placed with the ordinary jump
ing beans on a thin white piece of paste
board, outlined and numbered like the dial
of a clock, but devoid of hands. This dial
was located over the works Of a large clock
which was placed faced upward on the floor
of the store window. He fastened small
magnets to the ends of the hands. The
works were, of course. carefully hidden
from view. All that was in evidence Was
the cardboard clock dial and the jumping
beans, among which were the gold and sill
ver-plated iron beans. These were placed
on the cardboard over the concealed hands
with the magnets attached. The magnets
were moved by the hands OF the clock so
that they were almost in contact with the
cardboard. AS they moved around they
carried the iron beans with them, thus tell
ing the time of day, and the public was
greatly interested by the intelligence shown
by the two beans, which distinguished them
from their lively associates.
