The pursuit Of happiness does NOT

wealth. Real happiness Is matter Of
Individual coincidence entirely.

Prof. r. 8. Woodward. of Columbia
university, in recent paper shows
reasons for thinking that the earth's
atmosphere extends to height vary
Ing with the distance from the eQua-
tor. At the equator he estimates the
height to be $4,000 miles, which dimin-
fishes to only 10000 miles at the poles
But of course, beyond a few hundred
miles above the ground, the density
OF the atmosphere becomes SO slight
that the effects are imperceptible.

Bryan will attend the Democratic ma

lif he is put iii the field early enough
TO render 1t practicable for him to do
SO. A formal invitation has been ex.
tended to him, and he lns said TINT
he would accept. This fact was
brought out yesterday afternoon at the
meeting Of the national Democratic

of the national committee to have the

today il possible.
The desire OH the part OF the mem
hers to accomplish this end was de-
veloped at the close of the session and
1t was brought to the surface by an
invitation to the committee from the
citizens OF Kansas City to take IL tai

ton was extended by Ex-Governor

sented Clayton took the floor in op.
position to its acceptance. saying thnt
there was we'll defined aud very
general wish that Bryan should be
placed in nomination on the Fourth OF
July. making a fitting Democratic cela.
bration of tile national anniversary.
Senator Kenney spoke in the same
strain. and Senator Jones descended
from the platform to add his voice in
support OF the proposition. All agreed
that such nomination would add spir.
1t to tile occasion and give the ticket
a send.off such as 1t would not other
wise receive. The members OF the
committee generally supported the
proposition. and MS a consequence the
invitation Of the Kansas City people
was declined.

LABOR N R Trust
Window Glass Workers Taxa Shares
In the Window Glass
Combine.
The Deal Will Be Disastrous to
the Independent and Small
Factories.
May Be Compelled to Import
Belgians to Do the
Work.

Muncie, Ind, July 3.-The organized
window glass blowers and gatherers
have accepted the offer Of s. 600 shares
Of stock in the American Window
Glass company. as we'll as the pro-
provisions made by the trust. The
workmen's organization will also be
given a director in the trust. The
stock is given to the u. A. 300 for a
period of three years, during which
time it will be carried by the Ameri-
can company free of charge. The.
stock is turned over to the workmen at
its face value of $50, the par value of
share being 500. Neither side will
have the right to vote the stock to
other persons. Any dividend that
may accrue during the three years
mentioned in the contract shall so to-.
ward paving for the stock.
What L. A. 800 Agrees TO DO.
At the end Of three years, or at any.
time previous to that, L. a. 800 may
buy the stock: outright by paying the
difference between the face value and
the dividend receipts. In return forl
this, u. A. 300 agrees to man the
plants Of the American company with
its members. or as nearly SO as posi-
BILE. The trust agrees to look after the
cooperative window factories now in
existence, placing them upon the same
basis as the trust concerns. with the
understanding that u. a. 800 shall not
encourage any further building Of CO.
! operative factories.
Combination of Combines.
This deal between the American
trust and the labor OrganizationisSo one
\ of the Gueerest transactions that ever
happened, either in the business or la
/ Dor world. The combine until recently
| was bending every effort not only to
down the independent window glass
! factories but to dictate as nearly as
! possible the pay Of its employees. L. A.
+ 300 was bitter enemy of the trust,
/ and used every effort possible toward
1 assisting the independent manufacture
/ ers. Owing to a scarcity OF window
4, glass workmen, many of the American
I Window Glass company's factories
were partly idle, and one or two We're
compelled to close down, while every
independent concern was running with
full complement Of workmen.
Union Part of the Trust Now.
Then the stock scheme Of making
!. the labor organization part of the
trust was evolved. and It's success is
demonstrated in the signed agreement.
4 1t enables the trust to hold the win
dow situation in its grasp How the In
dependent concerns will be able to OPP
crate without workmen Is more than
i experts can say Belgian window
glass workmen may be imported by
them, and that seems about the only
4 hone for the INDEPENDENTS.
