Mr. Odell said: Gov. Roosevelt will
not resign. He will serve out his term,

server, whether his motive be idle cur
iosity, entertainment, or special inves-
tigation. The Escola. is for the wealthy
native and the foreigner. The other
localities are for the people. Rosario
and Santo Cristo are pre- -eminently the
streets of the Chinese merchants. San
Fernando has many Chinese, but it also
presents numerous native proprietors.
The first thing that one notices is
that these stores are but little boxes,
which would hardly make an office for
an American. The next thing noticed
is the number Of attendants, and the
third is the manifest duplication Of
stocks and their arrangements. The
native stores on Gale San Fernando
are rather booths for the sale of spec
.ialties. They. are little stalls perhaps
six feet by ten, presided over by native
women. A broad platform of counter
bars the entire width. Upon these
vendors sit, usually busy with en-
broidery work, when the counter is
not in use for the display of goods to
the customer, who stands on the. side
walk or else sits, comfortably and Soc
iably, on the counter with the vendor.

BUSINESS IN MANILA.
\ Description of the Filipino Retail

DcscflpllOn OF the Flllp1nO hctlll
Estu tublishments.
The greater business of the Philip
pines is largely paralyzed. The lesser
business, that which appeals to the
superficial observer is in a state OF
activity probably greater than it has:
ever known before. But this retail bus
iEess needs some definition. Manila is
said to have a population of 100000
within what is to be regarded as the
city, though Manila proper is but the
old walled town in the south bank of
the Pasig. The Escolta is the street Of
the better class Of trade, for the whole
city. 1t extends for three blocks, from
the Plaza del P. Morago to the bridge
across the canal which divides Binondo
from Sta. Cruz. In point of number
size and appearance, of the stores, there
is hardly a city of $4,000 people in
America that would not immeasurably
excel the Manila outfit. The little
American city would show no such
tumble of lines within SO short dis
tance. What cannot be bought on the
Escolta. excepting provisions, is
hardly to be found in the city. Har-
ness and hardware, dry goods and dia-
monds beer, whiskey, and cigars, staA
tionery, clothing, drugs, books, notions,
! and-- wares from India. China and
Japan. all find representa- ton among
many other things along this short line,
which represents the aristocratic retail
! trade of city of more than a quarter
Of million people.
| The retail stores for the masses cover
a much larger line. They fill the Gale
Rosario, Gale San Fernando and the
Gale Santo Cristo with more or less
| extensive Outcroppings in stores OF
other places. These are the stores

is putting it mild indeed. Organizers
have been sent to the smaller towns

accomplished b
Now that the spring work will soon
open, it is necessary that each and
every union remit it's dues as speedily
as possible. %
We have but few months prior to the
convention in which the work of or
ganization can be successfully pushed.
The coming season promises to be one
of Industrial activity, and labor need
not except to share in any respectable
advances unless it's ranks are better
organized The employing class is
completely organized. There is but
Elittle competition among them, hence,
through their united actions they are
commanding better: prices for their
work. The price Of almost everything
purchased by them is fixed by a trust.
The only competition is in the labor
market. The law Of supply and de-
mand governs no commodity today
except labor. Unless! labor unitess: and
fixes it's own price, it Will find itself
at the end of the season considerable
loser. Wages of the unorganized work
er may become little higher during
the season, on account of a probable
scarcity Of labor, yet in no case will
wages advance in comparison with
labor's necessities.
Therefore in self protection, there is
but one duty before US as organized
workers, that is to do all in our power,
morally and financially, to aid in the
organization Of the unorganized,
workers of the state.
