SOME BENEFIT
orTrusts-Testimony ofPresident OF
AmalGamated Association.


AmaIgamatad Association.
Theodore schafer, president of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron and
Steel Workers. In the course OF his tes-
timony before the industrial commits
sion. said that about 20 per cent Of the
iron, steel and tin workers were organ
lied. After 1899 the iron workers suf-
fered 80 per cent reduction Of wages,
the steel workers 10 per cent and the
tin workers 25 per cent but since the
recent prosperity began the wages have
been almost levelled up by advances.
The trade was now more prosperous
than It had ever been. but the wages
were not quite as high as In 1892. The
workers In Iron, steel and tin were not
getting the advantage under the sliding
scale Of the recent increase In prices.
This was due to the fnct that mills
were filllng contracts made six months
ago and In some cases year ago. But
with the filling Of contracts based on
present. prices the advances would
come.
Many Of the mills, he said, were nom
union, owing to personal difficulties
which arose between employers and
employed. rather than direct hostility
of the employer toward organized Ia
Dor or the union scale. Mr.. schaffer
said his association had never called
upon state boards Of arbitration in case
OF strikes. He thought the Incorpora-
ton Of labor organizations would be
advantageous. The obstacle to incor-
poration at present was that the work.
ers were not yet educated up to and
prepared for II. He was opposed to
compulsory arbitration.
Asked about trusts. Mr.. schaffer said
he had SO much respect for them that
he would not call them trusts" The
effect thus far had been beneficial to
the iron, steel and tin workers. AS a
general rule, he said, he believed the
members OF his association would pre-
fer to deal with combinations and large
corporations than with smaller indie
pendent mills. He believed II the big
combinations could be regulated by
congressional enactment strikes could
be avoided. In his experience he had
always had fair. treatment in negotia-
ting with these combinations. He did
not believe they prevented competition.

II earthly ills wore fewer
We couldn't then complain;
And II the skies were bluer.
Perhaps we'd have no rain.
It takes a little sorrow
To lead our lives Alright:
The sun that gilds the morrow
Is sweeter for the night.
When wintry winds are fiInging
The SHOWS against the pane.
Somewhere the birds are singingi
They'll sing for US again.
Tell not thy mournfuI story,
Sing not thy solemn song
While In Gods grace and glory
The glad world rolls along.

ADisreputabIe Charge.

The Register has this to say concern
ing an Interview with Senator N. B.
Scott, with reference to the revival Of
the Hobbs glass factory:
The Register ignored the rambling
nonsense contained In Saturdays issue
OF the Intelligencer, and would do the
same with the rather less important
diatrlbe of yesterday, were 1t not tnat
a sew people might accept it's repeated
publications as containing some germs
OF fact. In this view. and with the hope
that IL may close an incident not par-
ticularly pleasant TO one or two gentle
men, not connected with the Intelligen-
Ger, 1t may be briefly stated that the
Register published an exclusive inter-
view with Senator Scott, while the In
telligcncer published an interview not
had with the senator by any one con-
nected with the Intelligencer office, but
simply secondhand version OF mis-
remarks.
1t is pretty hard to keep pace with
all Of the Registers falsehoods, but in
this instance the case is so aggravated
that 1t is only necessary to say that
Mr.. Scott was interviewed In his apart
ments at the Mcclure House by the CITY
editor of the Intelllgencer, by previous
arrangement made during the day.
II the Register desires to continue to
discredIt that interview. 1t is showing
a great amount of lack Of courtesy to
the senator himself, Notwithstanding
all It's past abuse of him, who gave the
Register the benefit of the news, his
idea being to give the readers Of both
the morning papers the important in
dustrIal item.
II the Register had appreciated this
consideration on the part of Senator
Scott, perhaps 1t might lay claim to
similar generous act on his part at
some future time. The interview in the
IntelIIgencer was written by the In
tellIgencer's personal representative.
On whose authority does the Register
make Its dlsreputable charge?

PEACOCK AND RAT.

In an encounter with a rat one OF
the peacocks at the zoo triumphed after
a fierce battle. The peacock was bask-
ing on the lawn in front of the small
mammal house The rodent had been
circulating in the vicinity Of the house
and made a dash TO clear the lawn for
a new hunting ground. In some mys-
tsrious manner IT bumped into the pea
cock or attempted to crawl under the
bird. whichever IT did. the result was
the same. A fight ensued the like OF
which has never been witnessed by the
oldest keepers of the garden, says the
Philadelphia Times.
The peacock was remarkably alert.
Giving his strident call. he made
plunge at the rat with a stretch OF his
neck. The rat replied with vicious
snap at the peacock's neck, disturbing
the harmonious arrangement OF the
plumage. Another plunge with its
beak and the bird scored "A point The
rat took alarm at the determination OF
its large and beautiful adversary and
started to run. But the peacock was
full of fight and acted as If IL had a
grudge of long standing against the
rat. Covering the rodent with one OF
it's feet, il pulled him back into the
arena. at the same time thrusting its
beak hard against his ribs. The rat
was under his heels. and, big as he
was he was determined TO give Brer
Rat finish fight.
Relaxing his grasp upon the rat, the
latter struggled to his fours. making a
terrific lung. at the peacocks shins,
then at his legs and then again at his
neck. The peacock seemed affrighted
by the rodents ferocity and nimbleness
and for few seconds was unable to
reach IL. Finally, however, he got tho
rat again under his slim foot. This
time he meant business. SO. twisting
his neck. he grabbed the rat by the
throat, squeezing il with his horny
beak till II ceased squealing. Aft'S
several tremors of the rats body, the
peacock lifted it's foot and the rat had
passed away.
Triumphant and proud, the peacock
strutted across the lawn to smooth his
rumpled feathers beyond the gaze of
his spectators. The battle had cost him
four of his best sunset feathers.

WHALE HUNTING.

One afternoon from the deck OF our
steamer. the Palena, we witnessed
rare bit of ocean sport-a school OF
whales chased by two boatloads of
chilencs
We had passed their ship some time
before, with heavy cloud Of smoke
rhsing from her foreoastle. where the
fat OF a whale she had already caught
was being tried out" as the Yankees
say. Soon We overhauled the two boats
with eight men at the oars in close pur-
suit of school of six or seven mon
sters, whose glossy backs would appear
ana disappear at intervals. and VINO
lashed the water into soapsuds with
their tails and spouted like geysers ev-
cry time they came to the surface:
They kept together Ike a flock OF
frightened sheep, going first one way
ana then the other. while a man with a
pig harpoon stood in the bow OF each
Doat waiting a chance to jam II IN 10
one or them. Just as he was about 10
iet go the whale would go down almost
under the very boat Then the men
would stop rowing and rest on their
oars until the whale reappeared some
with all their strength in that direc-
tion, keeping up the chase until finally
the harpoon was buried into his neck.
Then came the fun. Furious with
fright and agony the whale dove to the
bottom of the sea, leaving a great
crimson blemish upon the beautiful
piue or the ocean, and carrying nifty
fathoms of line with him, which the
Doatmen calmly paid out while they
wabted Tor his reappearance. \ whale
must have air at frequent intervals par
ucularly when i'm pam. As ne came up
the line was kept taut. the harpoonist
ieellng him as carefully as fisherman
plays bass or trout. AS he reached
the surface the whale must have seen
the boat. or at least r. allied his desper-
ate SITUATION for he displayed A terri
bic temper, and kicked up an acre or
two OF foam. Then he started at n
thirty-knot gait for the other enl of
the world towing the boat after him.
The last we tnw of the chase il was
"a mere speck on the horizon: but the
struggle nearly always turns out the
same way When the whale becomes
exhausted the boat creeps up closely
upon him. and the harpoonist shoots
another barb into hts vitals. Then they
tow him back 10 the ship. chop him into
pieces and throw the blubber INTO the
watts. where IL is reduced to OIL
Not long ago party of fishermen

attacked by a school OF sharks and had

He DISGUSTtD BISMARCK.

During the siege OF Paris bismarck
was often irritated by some OF the
statements and comments which an
