claims that not state has passed a
sanitary law that will sufficiently pro-
tect its citizens from defective plumb
ing. The laws are inadequate" he
said. More stringent laws will be
advocated by the convention, and a
plan of procedure adopted to secure
their passage by the legislatures of all
the states" A proposition to estab-
lish cooperative plumbing shops in
all the large cities will be considered.
The plumbers say that the small shops
are menace to their unions, and they
believe these can be driven out of
business by cooperative shops estab-
lished by the union plumbers

The growth Of the trades union
movement in this country is so rapid
that definite figures are hard to obtain
The American Federation Of Labor on
May 1, 1900, had enrolled an aggregate
membership of 100000, the knights
of Labor still claim 100000, the Raj
way Brotherhoods 119,300; 100000
trades unionists are organized on In
dependent lines, chief among them are
the bricklayers' and plumbers asso-
Citations with a membership of 10000;
a Western Federation Of Miners with
$4,000; the Western Labor Union with
10000; the telegraphers, although for
hidden to organize as union, but
maintain a system of fraternal bene-
fits which closely follow the workings
of trades unions, numbers $4,000. Ac-
cording to these figures the enrolment
of trades unions in the United States
foots up 1,S0S,3O0.

cago happy. The annual convention
of the National Letter Carriers AS
ISOLATION convenes in Detroit Septem-

the members to go to Detroit unless
Postmaster Gordon agrees to dispense
with the one delivery on Labor Day.

Steel Workers Sign Scale.

President Shaffer of the Amaiga-
mated Steel Workers association re-
Gently confirmed the story concerning
the signing Of the sheet scale. He
said: THE sheet scale Of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers was signed by repre-
sentatives of the American Steel Sheet
company and the committee of the la
Dor organization. The agreement is a
compromise on what was asked by
both sides. The card rate and base OF
the scale remain the same as last year,
but new footnotes, considerably to the
advantage of the Amalgamated have
been agreed to by the combine Al
though it is generally believed that the
May convention of the Amalgamated
put a demand in the scale proposal for
a considerable increase in wages, based
on a reduction of the card rate. the
principal fight made by the union was
on the question to which mills in the
combine the scale should apply. The
Amalgamated asked that all plants
should be included in the agreement.
The manufacturers refused to con-
cede the point. The outcome of 1t all
is that the combine signs the scale for
those mills which have been known in
the past as union places, controlled by
the Amalgamated, and operates the
mills which were non-union before the
consolidation just as they were under
the individual ownership. President
Shaffer says that considering the re-
cent upheavals in the market he con-
siders the settlement a really credita-
lie one.

Cutting the sudd on the upper Nile

water which is working its way down

Assouan. where the great dam is being

ashore in millions and the odor is I'M

A curious bit Of adaptation to cir
cumstances may be seen in summer
among the cattle Of the swamp lands
along the Mississippi. From July to
mid-September blood-sucNng insects
mosquitoes. flies, guats. and 80 on,
are so bad there cattle are sometimes
in danger of their lives. So are peo-
pie, unless they make smudges-that
is say, fires so thickly smothered
they fill the air with clouds OF smoke
and thus drive away the pests. The
cattle soon learn the use and value Of
the smudges.-New York Sun.

This telephonograph does not have the

Ruined Iceland Farmers.

About 800 Icelanders emigrated
from Liverpool to Quebec yesterday
en- route for Manitoba and the north
west. The recent order In council
rendering compulsory the slaughter OF
foreign sheep and cattle at the port
Of arrival In Great Britain has ruined
the prospects Of many Icelandic farm
ers, whose sheep require British pas
turage before they are fit for killing,
This has induced many of the Island

The system is weakened in win

susceptible to irritation or inaamma-

That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever-you will
not be we'll until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. You
may think your trouble is some
other disease and not catarrh. Call
1t what you will, one thing is sure,

owned and three operated on a five
years lease by the Lackawanna Iron

The Average Man.

The Average Man.
His face had the grimness OF granite;
1t was bleached and bronzed by the
sun.
Like the coat on his poor. narrow
shoulders,
And his hands showed the work he
had done.
His dim eyes were weary and patient,
And he smiled through his pallor
and tan
A wistful, sad smile, as if saying,
I'm only an average man.
l can't be hero or poet,
Nor a dictator wearing crown.
I'm only the Woodworking servant
OF those set above me. I'm down,
And it's no use complaining
I'll get on the best way can,
And one of these days II come morn
ing
And rest for the average man.
He wages all battles, and wins them,
He builds all turrets that tower
Over walls of the city. to tell
OF the rulers and priests Of the
hour.
Without him the general is helpless,
The earth but place and plan;
He moves all. and clothes all. and
feeds all.
This sad-smiling average man.
Then lifted my hand in promise,
With teeth set close. and my breath
Held hard in my throat, and | uttered
A vow that shall outlive death.
! swear that the builder no longer
To me shall be less than the plan;
Henceforward be guerdon aud glory
And hope for the average man.
