Steel workers Of Scotland demand a
per cent increase of wages, based
on the improved condition of trade.
Street railway employees OF London,
Ont. have been on strike seven months.
In that time only two men went back
to work.
The number of cotton spindles in
Japan have increased threefold in the
past three years. Women spinners re-
ceive 80 to 80 cents per day of II

uniform wage of So per day, have asout
won their strike, nearly all the foun-
dries having signed the new scale.
More than 1000 Elgin Qll.) watch
factory employees have been gladdened
by an announcement of an increase of
pay, the same to begin Jan. l. 1t is
estimated that this advance will mean
more than 100000 per annum to the
workers.
In returning to his headquarters at
Washington Secretary Hayes of the
knights of Labor was interviewed con-
corning the future policy of his organi-
cation. The secretary declared the
Knights had finally determined to en-
ter the political field.
The officers of the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists report that
every machinist in the United States
is at work, and thousands of men who
are far from being skilled mechanics
are getting machinists places at full
wages, so urgent are the employers
demands.
William A. Perrine of the Iron Mold
ers' Conference Board said that never
in the history of the machinery trade
in the United States has there been
such prosperity, and he declared that
there is work enough in sight to keep
all hands busily employed for at least
two years.
Returns from eight women's en-
ployment bureaus in London, Eng, for
October show that the supply of CO.
nestle servants, dressmakers, millin-
ers, ETC., is very far below the demand.
During the month 1,025 situations were
offered, and only 1874 were filled for
lack of young women for the places.
1t is asserted that the adoption of
the eight-hour day in the United States
was first effected in 1867, by the Stone
cutters Union of Chicago. This or
ganization has maintained the eight
hour day since that time, and was a
prominent factor in having the eight
hour law put on the statute books Of
Illinois in 1868.
A leading New York paper is author
ity for the statement that there is a
shortage of labor in the metal and ma
chinery trades in New York city, and
quotes a number of instances, from
which the following are taken: Every
molder of the Iron Molders' Union is
at work, and the employment bureau
at 81 Center street is daily in receipt Of
demands for men that it cannot. fill.
The Patternmakers Union reports the
same condition, and a few days ago
Timothy M. Daily, walking delegate of
the Metal Polishers' Union, received an
order for $50 men from one large fac
tory, and so far has been unable to
find the men required.

Living.


How to make life worth living?"
The question haunts us every day;
1t colors the first flush of SUNRISE
1t deepens the twilights last ray
There is nothing that brings us drearier
pain
Than the thought, I'VE have lived, we
are living, in vain"
We need, each and all, to be needed,
To feel we have something to give
Toward soothing the moan of earth's
hunger;
And we know that then only we live
When we feed one another as we have
been fed
From the hand that gives body and spirit
their bread.
Our lives are well worth the living
When we lose our small selves In the
whole,
And feel the strong surges of being
Throb through us, one heart and one
soul.
Eternity brings up each honest endeavor;
The life lost for love is life saved for
ever. Lucy Larcom.

One of the most conspicuous men IN
attendance at the nineteenth annual
gathering of the American Federation
of Labor, at Detroit, Mich, recently,
James Haslam, one of the two
fraternal delegates who represent the
British Trade Union Congress. James
Haslam is one of the best-known mem
bers of the miners organization. He
took prominent part in the famous
miners strike in 1S93 the biggest la
Dor fight in the history of England,
when more than $50, 900 men were out.
Born at Clay Cross, Derbyshire, in
1912, he went to work at the pit mouth
at years of age, working IL hours
daily for 20 cents a day. When IL
years old he entered the pit and went
through all the branches of mining.
In 1881 he began the work of organic
ing the Derbyshire miners, and has
been engaged in trade union work
ever since that time. At present he
is the general secretary of the Derby
shire Miners Association. But Mr..
Haslam has gone beyond the field of
trade union labor and is prominently
identified with the public life Of the
community where he lives. He has
been for some years a member of the
Clay Cross School Board and Of the
Chesterfield Board of Poor Law Guard
ians, and in both capacities has earned
the esteem and respect of his fellow
citizens.

Thirty thousand dollars in all sorts
of assets has been found in the coffers
of a Chicago "get-rich-quick" concern,

To meet the constantly growing de-
mand for Graphophone of the Grand
style at figure that will suit the popu-
| lar purse, the Columbia Photograph Co.
announces that the price of the Colum-
bla Grand Graphophone is reduced from
$50 to $50, of Grand records from 81 so
to S100 each. and of Grand blanks from
81 to 75c each.
/ 1t is confidently believed that this sub
stantial price reduction will have the
effect of placing Graphcphones of the
genuine Grand type In the hands of
thousands of persons who have hitherto
been restrained from purchasing by rea-
son of the comparatively high prices
heretofore prevailing As a further and
even greater means of stimulating the
sales of Grand machines and records, and
of overcoming what r-doubtedly has
been the principal deterrent to their al
most universal use, the price of Grand
records have been reduced to 81 each,
instead of $3.50 as heretofore.
Columbia Grand records have justly
earned the reputation of being the fin
est product of the record making art,
and the manufacturers pledge themselves
that the goods will continue to deserve
this reputation. The reduction in price
has been made possible by the new man
ufacturing process which result in i'm
proved records as we'll as in more eco
nOmlcal manufacture. Grand blank
cylinders, formerly 81 each, reduced to
75c each. 1t is anticipated that the new
prices will create a demand for these
wonderful machines that will greatly tax
the superb facilities of the manufactur-
ers. Their plant at Bridgeport, Conn, i
the largest and most modern and complete
talking machine factory in the world and
their facilities for the quick and econom
ical production and distribution of their
goods are unapproached.
The Columbia monograph Co. has
brought about every substantial i'm
provement in the talking machine art.
The most recent achievement and one as
startling as the original invention itself,
was the discovery of the principles gov
erning the construction of Graphophones
of the Grand type These machines
give forth reproductions of sound with
the same volume and quality as the orig
inal rendition. They speak and sing
with the volume of a giants voice; yet
with the intensified vibrant power there
is no sacrifice of quality. but on the con-
trary, richer, fuller and more faithful
reproduction of the timbre of the original
sound is obtained.
Five hundred dollars was the price of
the machines when first offered for sale,
and the original price of large records
vas SIS each Facilities for the manufac-
ture of the goods OF large scale and
the bringing out of new models, have
made possible great reductions in price.

Golden Tells His Story of the Assassina-
ton of VIM. Goebe1.
Georgetown, Ky, July 2S.-The
prosecution placed its star witness, f.
Wharton Golden, on the stand yester-
day. GOlden's testimony, was to the
effect that at Caleb Powers request
he helped collect mountain feudists
to go to Frankfort; that these men
were paid for going; that Finley
threatened that if the legislature did
not drop the attempt to depose the
Republican officials I'VE will kill
them;" that Powers approved Of the
sentiment; it seemed to be common
talk among the Republican rank and
file-the mOuntainerS-that GOebel
ought to be killed.
He said that John Powers told him
they had procured two negroes to kill
GOebel; that when asked to call out
the troops Governor Taylor told those
asking, You all must act first" that
Caleb and John Powers were sarcastic
and merry when they heard of the
assassination; that Governor Taylor
asked witness if he and the other
mountain men would back up the Re-
publican members of the legislature in
case a fight should be precipitated. and
further along in the CONVERSATION, he
said: Golden, it looks like a hOrri-
bic thing to kill a man; but that looks
like the only way to handle Goebel and
his gang"
Georgetown, Ky, July 31.-EX-Sec-
rotary of State Caleb Powers took the
stand in his own behalf yesterday, but
did not complete his testimony on di-
rect examination. His defense is an
admission that he organized the body
of mountaineers who went to Frank
fort on several occasions last winter
for influence with the state contest
board and the legislature, but not to
intimidate them. He entered a denial
of the damaging charges made against
him by Witnesses Culton, Golden
NOakes and others, especially as to
the proposals to kill Goebel or other
Democrats, all Of which he positively
denied
