was sadly apparent. Two of our pickets

tyranny OF rrades-Un,ons.

In the North American Review Mr..
Benjamin Taylor, noted political econ
smist, undertakes to show that Great
Britain's decline is due to trade unionism.
From Mr.. Taylor's statements, it would
appear that the British manufacturer is
practically under the domination of the
British workman, who, through his trade
union, exacts from his employer the max
imum rate of wage for the minimum
amount of work, the prime object of the
unions being to restrict production. By
the exactions of the Unions, MIR. Taylor
states, certain industries have even been
driven out of the country:
The story Of the flint-glass trade is a
very instructive one. This used to be a
very extensive and lucrative business in
Great Britain, afording highly-paid en-
ployment 10 many thousands OF workers.
These workers had, of course, their trade
union. The union waxed fat, and kicked
on the question of apprenticeship. And
it succeeded in enforcing a strict limita-
ton to the number Of boys to be allowed
to enter the trade in any one year or in
any one factory. Having secured this,
they put the screw on wages until they
raised the pay of an ordinary journey
man to between three pounds ten shillings
and four pounds a week. The monopoly
Of labor was complete, but not the mo-
nopoly of supply. The Germans stepped

the nose of the Flint-glasS Makers Union,
which now does not, in the whole United
Kingdom, contain as many members as
there are workers in many a single fac
tory in Germany. The industry has
gone, save two or three high-class con-
Germs making costly tableware for the
wealthy; and with it the workers, who
either emigrated to America, or sought
employment in other overcrowded ave
nues. Much the same kind OF thing hap
pened in the bottle making industry. APP
prentices and production were kept down,
and wages were forced up, until bottles
became so dear that Belgium sailed in
and 'scooped the market German table
glass and Belgian bottles now tell the
tale, in every British household, of what
aggressive and tyrannical trade unionism
can do for the industries of the country.
Let it be noted that the initial cause Of
the ruin OF these industries was the limi-
tation placed on apprenticeship, for That
is one of the most dangerous and lament
able features Of trade unionism policy as
still pursued"

Chicks Hatched In Transit.

The hot weather has overturned all pre-
cedents in the egg business in Nebraska.
Dealers say that stories of eggs Matching
in cases are not fairy tales, and one in
Omaha found five lively chicks in one
case during the hot spell. A fat rate by
the case has heretofore been paid for the
eggs, but the dealers refuse now to &C.
cept any consignments except on the
agreement that only those found good at
ter Gambling shall be paid for. The neces-
s:ty for measures for self-protection thus
forced upon the original buyer has sent
the price paid to raisers down to as low
as two and three cents a dozen in some
instances.

story: ~ 81
you see it was this-a-way: Cassells
took me over to the ,Scots-Irish dinner at
Philadelphia and was asked to make a
speech. What said ran about like this:
My apology for being here is that Cas-
sells brought me. If you do not already
know it, Cassells spends most of his time
loaiing about Washington stirring up
prejudice against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. You see how it works.
Mr.. Bartholdt, a very earnest, Industrious
and devoted German member of the
House from Missouri, made a convincing
speech in behalf Of the bill to reduce the
tax on beer. When 1t came to q vote
he had not sufficient support to get that
very righteous bill through. Next day
bill came up to give about 4 fourth Of
the City Of Washington to ths Psunsyl-

Of millions to induce them to take the
property. In spite of Cassells's efforts

His horse and buggy and some of-his
clothes were found along the Opequon.
Many theories were advanced as to
his whereabouts. Some thought that
he had committed suicide by drown

others thought that he had been fouliy
dealt with and thrown into the Ope-

After days of searching bv officers

the theory that Dr. Taylor wanted to
getaway from his wife and had adopt

from tracing him was advanced and
believed by many.
1t now turns out that that theory
was correct. DR.. Taylor was seen to
mass through here on Baltimore and

MURDER INVESTIGATION
Grand Jury Sitting the Jones Case
Today.
OVER TWO DOZEN WITNESSES
Authorities Believe Their Case Against the
Accused is Strengthened by the Ad-
d.tionaI Evidence Obtained on
Wednesday.

Hagerstown, Nov. 2l-The case OF
James w Jones charged with COM
plicity in the murder of John Miller
of II. Saturday evening along the Bal
t1more and Ohio Railroad, near Kee-
dysvIlle. WAS taken up by the grand
jury today. Some two dozen witness
es have been summoned to tell the
jury what they know concerning the
affair
Deputy Rowlands went to Keedvs-
vile yesterday morning and spent the
day looking uD new clues and investi-
eating the clues Already i'll possession
of the authorities. Sheriff Ieller
also spent several hours inKeedysville
yesterday evening. While neither OF
the officers cared to discuss what had
been accomplished during the day, it
is understood the authorities feel that
they have much stronger case against
Jones than they had twenty -four hours
before. IL was rumored last night
that several important witnesses had
been secured. The belief that two
persons were implicated continues and
the officers are strainlng every effort
to obtain further clues. Public opinion
is somewhat divided in regard to the
part which Jones is alleged to have
taken in the tragedy. All are anxiuos
however, to see the case pushed as
rapidly as possible TO finish and the
guilty party or parties brought to jus
tice.
It said to be known that Jones was
in Keedysville a short time before the
arrival of the train, which was lit.
tie late and did not reach there until
about AS Jones says he will be able
to prove that he was at he water sta
tion, below Keedysville, when the
train arrived there.
Jones continues to assert his lnno-
cence although he is naturally much
disturbed over the serious charge. He
claims however that he will be able
to satisfactorily explain everything.
