~ HE Illinois state board Of statistics
has formally opened three free en-
plOyment offices in Chicago. Since
law went into effect on July 1 the SUPER
intendents of the various offices have
been fitting up their quarters and get
ting ready for active business, until now
the three sides of the city each has its
illinois free employment office"
That such department was needed and
that it will be beneficial not only to the
laborer, but to the employer, has already
been demonstrated, although active opera
tons have hardly been begun. The super
intendents say that before they even had
sign in front of their offices to desig-
nate their business they had several appli-
cations from employers, for help, which
have increased from day to day.
The manner of conducting these agen-
cies is especially provided IN the law, and
the work throughout the state will be car
ried on Systematically. Superintendents
must report on Thursday of each week to
the state bureau Of labor statistics the
number of applications for positions and
for help received during the week, and
also those untitled applications remaining
on the books at the beginning of the
week. The secretary Of labor statistics
shall in turn cause to be printed each
week, showing separately and irAcombina-
ton, the lists received from each office
and shall mail a list to each agency. A
copy Of these lists must also be mailed to
the factory and mine inspectors in the
state.
Under the law it is made the duty Of the
various superintendent TO place theni-
selves in communication with the prin-
cipal manufacturers, merchants and other
employers of labor in order that the Co
operation of employers Of labor may be
obtained. To this end the superintendent
are authorized to advertise ln.the daily
papers such situations as they can till.
and they may advertise in general way

~ HE monster ore-unloading machine
which has been under course Of con-
4 struction during the entire season on
the docks at Connleaut harbor, Ashta-
bula, O., has been completed, and the
first test has just been made. The test
did not prove as satisfactory as was
hoped and the work of perfectdng the
machine will be begun at once. This
machine, which Is the only one in the
fworld OF its kind, is supposed to sup
plant the work Of 200 men. Five ma
chimes would supplant the Thousand ore
handlers who have been employed on
these docks for years.
The ore shovelers foresee their fate,
and the dock companies, it Is said, in an
ticipation of violence to the machine.
keep them closely guarded night and
day and electric lights burning on all
sides at night. The success of the first
machine will eventually mean their
adoption at all ore-receiving ports.
Only nine men are required to operate
machine The invention is one which
has been prophesied for years, but which.
even to marine men, has seemed i'm
probable. A scoop shaped like clam
shell descends intot the hold of the vessel
and ds expected to lift ten tons on its
return trip to the dock. More than %
per cent of the ore in a vessel is supposed
to be transferred by the automatic ma
chine. From the hold of the vessel the
scoop carries it to a point above a car ~
dock and dumps it.

4 MACFEINE called 'rmob chaser
Il an automobile, covered with armor
\ is being built at Peoria> III. It is
plate and having as propelling power a
six-horse-power motor Seats are provid-
ed for four policemen, and rap:d-fre
gun holding 1000 cartridges is mounted
on the 'tmob-chaser.' This machine Is for
use in case Of mobs OF any kind in cities.
No doubt those monopolists who are op-
posed to their employees striking for high
er wages will be strong advocates Of
having 'tmob chaser" in every city.
Mobs and mob cfasers are the result of
injustice done by the special privilege
laws passed in the Interest Of scheming
and unscrupulous corporations, and just
as long as such laws are n force there
will be mobs, and If, instead of inventing
murderous machines to kill men, efforts
were made to repeal vicious laws, there
would soon come a time when there
would be no need Of mob ohasers.

LICENSES FOR LUsIRERBlEN.

TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 2s.-The Ontario
government has filed its answer to the
petition Of right of the Michigan lumber
men. It pleads: "- T.
First, the long standing provision Of the
law that all licenses granted must be
such regulations and restrictions as may
be established from time to time.
Second, that as all regulations were not
compiled with, the crown lands commits
soner had no authority to renew their
licenses to supply lands. " ~
Third. that the suppliants acquired no
enforced rights in respect to the licenses
beyond year from date of issue.
Fourth, that the log export law Is intra
wires. But the main defense appears to
be that the purchasers enforceable rights
are limited to a years license. In an In
terview this point is discussed by one of
the suppliants counsel who quotes the
speech of former crown lands commits
sioner, in which the theory is put forth
that the license holder is really the owner
of the timber, not simply of years right
to cut 1t.

for the cooperation Of large contractors
and employers in trade journals or other
publications which may reach such en-
ployers. The sum Of $4oo Per annum is al

poses.
An applicant for employment must fill
out regular blank, giving name, address.
kind Of employment desired, number Of
people dependent upon him or her, the
reason for lack Of employment and
statement as to whether prevented from
obtaining work for religious or preiudi-
cial reasons.
After an applicant for work is register
ed return postal cards will be used to car
ry out the object of the law. One of these
cards will tbe sent to an applicant stating
that there is an opening al a certain
place. When the applicant visits the en-
ployer named, the return postal Card
must be returned to the employment Of
flee containing information as to whether
or not the position has been accepted
and, if not, briefly state the reasons. The
employer will be like wise informed ny
postal card that an applicant will call on
him, and 1t is required that he return the
card. stating the disposition Of the app1i-
cation.
Members Of labor unions and those who
were instrumental in the passage of the
law are well satisfied with the outlook
and believe that 1t will prove to be all that
its supporters claim for it. The only op-
position comes from the managers of en-
ployment agencies for hire, who must, un-
der the new law, pay license Of $500 per
annum and give a bond Of $1,000. Violation
of this provision of the law is made pun
ishable by fine Of not less tha1AIO nor
more than 800.

and employ the people and sell the goods
to the people at cost. Against such stores
and factories the trusts will he helpless.
They know 1t and hence the fight and
hire the most cunning editors and poll
ttcians to prejudice the people, who would
be benefited by it,against it. This is the
very thing you are going to do, sooner
or later The sooner you will consider
and understand 1t, the sooner will you
get relief from the trusts. If you oppose
this plan, when the oppression of trusts
becomes unbearaIble for the people, they
will rise up in their might and revolution
will result, worse, thousand times, than
was the war about chattel slavery, which
would have been avoided had the people
reasoned on the subject instead of per-
hitting themselves to be swayed by the
press, pulpit and politicians of the time.
There will be no relief, no peace, no
safety, until YOU use your brains in un-
prejudiced reasoning on the subject.

EXCITEMENT AT GALvBSON.


GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 2s.-The Liv-
erpool quotations caused an exciting hour
on the Cotton exchange today. Later all
trades were declared or and the loss on
futures will be small. 1t is on country
purchases that the rub will come. Because
Of the big advances In Liverpool prices,
afterwards discovered to be incorrect,
factors rushed kilograms to their buyers
in interior towns, raising the limit for
spot cotton, and it is said q good many
purchases were made at prices the real
market did not justify. A sale Of a lot
OF 1000 at Houston at fifty points more
than the true market prices, is reported.
The banks received kilograms from their
correspondents from many points in the
interior calling for currency. A prominent
banker stated this evening that over q
quarter of million dollars in bills were
shipped from here this afternoon. It Is
likely that many of the spot transactions
will be called off.
