The Delaware County Far

Last week was fair week in Manches-
ter. 1t was the 32ad. annual exhibition
of the Delaware County Agricultural
Society. Fairly good preparations were
made for the entertainment of the peo-
pie, but the weather was very unfavor-
able. 1t rained SO hard Friday
that everything on the program for
that day was declared off, and the fair
| practically closed Thursday evening
But Thursday was good day, one of
the best in the history of the society.
The attendance was estimated at up
wards of 5000.
While the displays in the several de.
partments were not large, there were
some good races, and the performan-
ces of the Boone Yaki company were
all that was advertised. The jump
from the high tower into tank of
water was genuine feat of skill ard
daring, and the work of the hypnotist
and the burial of his subject had all the
appearance of being genuine.
But, after all, the five or six thousand
happy Delaware county people visiting
and enjoying themselves, was sight
far more attractive than anything, or
everything else on the grounds. Were
there nothing at the fair, except the
people, no one in attendance would
have had good cause to complain. No
rowdyism, no accidents, no incidents
to mar the pleasure of the big meeting.

Industrial Notes.

There are 100000 men in Prussit
earning less than sos per year.
1t is proposed to establish CO.
operative colony near Fort Scott, Kan.
next year.
The striking miners at Basket, Ky.
have won their strike for recognition
of the union, carrying with it, how
ever, reduction Of five per cent In
wages. This is probably the frs
strike for lower wages ever made.
The new plant Of the American Axe
and Tool company at Glassport, Pa.
the largest of this kind in the world
is nearing completion and will COM
mence operations Feb. 1. One thou
sand men will be employed.
The Carnegie Steel company has
posted notices at it's various mills and
furnaces that should conditions de-
mand the company desires to termi-
nate its existing wage agreement with
employees on Dec. 81. This is held to
mean a reduction.
1t has been charged before the Fed
eral Industrial commission that in
most of the great cities of the country
the plumbers union and various asso-
Citations of contractors have combined
so as to monopolize the business and
practically fleece those who have
plumbing done.

A Portrait.

The masons hand is rough and SCARF
red,
The mason's back is stopped and bow
ed;
His brow close bent above the stone
With lines of strenuous toll is plough
ed.
Small ease his honest years have
known,
For Labor claims him as her own.
With skilful hand he carves and chips;
His chisel on the hard stone rings.
The gray dust flies about his head,
And ever at his work he signs
A simple Groom of boyhoods day,
Timing his chisel to the lay.
And all in reverence l pause
Where he sits careless on the stone;
| hail him one of Labor's kings,
The humble seat his rightful throne;
For yesterday beneath his blow,
Wondering, saw an angel grow.

For n Universal Label.

The Union Label of Chicago is pre-
pairing to 60 before the next conven-
ton of the American Federation of La
Dor with proposition that universal
label be adopted to be put on all goods
manufactured by union men, believing
that 1t is better method of securing
union conditions in all branches OF
industry. The printers, cigarmakers
and several others will vigorously OPP
pose the idea Of a universal label. on
the grounds that it would be an in1us-
tice to their own, which they have
maintained under heavy expense and
many difficulties for years.

It will be noted, says Pennsylvania
Grit. that the South Carolina cotton
unionists do not appear to be at all
down-hearted. They evidently realize
that organization is good thing, and
like most other desirable objects must
be paid for with price. And just note
how quickly the manufacturers or
whole country resorted to the closest
kind of organization and the most in
discriminate sort Of boycott. They
evidently have no reason to consistent
ly object to their employees coming to-
gether, since they themselves have
made common cause. But the employees
are not terrified. Those of them who
have not already done so are joining
the union, and they ask from the press
sympathy and publicity, confident that
the justice of their cause will be Its
strongest champion

Compulsory Arbitration.

Recently endeavors have been made
to enlist support of movements looking
to the establishment, by law, Of that
method of adjusting differences be-
tween employer and employe known as
compulsory arbitration" - "compul-
sorry settlement" would appear to be a
more appropriate term. The very pro-
nounced antagonism from capital and
labor this has called out seems to me
to prove that the great majority In
number and interest of those directly
concerned is agreed that such a rem
edy would prove worse than the Ill 1t
is designed to cure. There Is a COM
pulsory force in America stronger
than any statute, and that is pronounc-
ed public opinion. 1t was exerted dur
ing the anthracite strike, and first
compelled the operators to bow before
it. The last few days it has been ex-
erted with equal potency on such of
the victorious miners as thought they
could establish themselves as abso-
lutte masters of the situation, and has
compelled obedience to its mandate. 1t
is, emphatically, the sort of arbitration
that arbitrates, and it comes in con-
fiict with no law or principle Of gov
eminent, no matter how compulsory it
may act upon whatever party happens
to be the resisting obstacle. And it's
a wise maxim not to legislate where
the end to be attained can be won de-
Gently and In order without resort to
the law-making power.

his career by frightening birds on

thirteen years later he rode into Par

liked Joseph Arch, who had won his
way from the bottom to the top with
out hurting anybody's feelings or do
ing anything mean.

Ono Woman who Has Dono Great
Deal to Put Down This Evil
Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 3.-(Spe-
ciaD-When the Independent Order Of
Good Templars of Minnesota wanted
a State Organizer they chose Mrs.
Laura ]. Smith, of 1917 West 33d
Street, this city. The American Anti
Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
as National Organizer. The reason Is
not far to seek. This gifted woman
has devoted her life to battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her in
fluence for good in Minnesota is and
has been very far reaching.
About two years ago however, 1t
seemed as If this noble woman would
have to give up her philanthropic
work. Severe pains in her back and
under her shoulder ladies, made life
a burden and work impossible. Physi-
clans were consulted, and they pre-
scribed for Kidney Disease. Three
months treatment however, failed to
give Mrs. Smith any relief Her hus-
band was much exercised, and cast
about him for something that would
restore his good wife to health and
strength. He heard of the cures eff
fected by Dodd's Kidney Pills. and ad-
vised her to try them, which she did
She is now a we'll woman and says:
1.-TWO weeks after l commenced TAX
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills, felt much
better, and at the end Of seven weeks
was completely cured. l have had no
recurrence of the trouble, but I take
pill off and on, and find that it keeps
me in good health"
Dodds Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers at SO cents a box.
They are easily within the reach OF
all, and no woman can afford to SUI
fer, when such a simple, and sure
Remedy is at hand.

John Burns, who was recently re-
elected to the British Parliament by
London district, known as Battersea, Is
one of the best-known labor leaders OF
the world. AS municipal statesman
and parliamentarian he has also gain
ed fame. He is to the working people
today what John Bright was to the
commercial classes some forty or nifty
years ago. John Burns has had
stormy career. Many times has he
been arrested and put into prison for
taking part in strike -iots, but the
powerful speeches which he made at
the trials secured his acQuittal with
his colleagues. AS a member OF the
London county council he has accom-
plished wonders. The local authority
works It's men only eight hours a day,
and insists that all contractors 1t en-
ploys for building, ETC., shall do the
same. Besides reducing the hours or
labor in London from GO per week 10
81, the wages have been increased. All
men receive ten days holiday in the
summer, and six general holidays.
They receive medical attendance ana
sick pay, and large number OF them
are provided with free quarters, co'll
and gas. The council has built num-
Der of cottages to accommodate them
near the public works, and provided
a dining room where they may take
their meals in the middle OF the day.
When Mr. Burns was first elected 10
parliament he was working as an en-
gineer, but had to give it up on ac-
count of mis- public duties. The two
offices carried no salaries, so the
workingmen of Battersea paid him for
years $1,000 a week, and the Dockers
Union, of which Mr.. Burns was a
trustee, voted him $40 per week. He
will accept no other money, although
many tempting offers or brides have
been made to him by parliamentary
wire pullers, company promoters and
self-seeking patronizers OF labor.
Mr.. Burns has a library that would
do honor to a cabinet minister. How
has he got all these books together,
having regard for his limited income?
In this connection one is reminded OF
the story of the famous Elihu Burritt.
This learned man told dilettante in
literature who called upon him, pulling
away at choice cigar, that a large
part of his library represented money
that might have been spent in tobac-
CO. So with John Burns. He neither
drinks nor smokes; lives on Spartan
fare; wears cheap clothes; and is
complete stranger to an overcoat. He
rides a bicycle, but not mainly for en-
joyment; he got it so that he could
save tram fares to and from the House
of Commons. There Is not more
polished speaker in the House than
Burns. His diction is as perfect as
his syntax, and his speeches are atten-
lively listened to by every member.
