West Union News Notes.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I thought would
give you little additional news from
our part of town. Everything is
moving along quietly.
There has been some changes
made among the bosses at the mill.
| hope that some of the old bosses
will be retained as they are right
clever fellows. There seems to be
plenty of hands here to run all of the
machinery.
Our Major Mcclure is the cham
pion hog raiser in these parts, having
sold two lately that weighed 900
pounds. They were purchased by
that up-to date market man, Mr..
Geo. S. Kirby, and it made neighbor
Sanders smile as he placed those fine
hogs on tie market.
Well our legislature has adjourned.
| think the most important bill that
was brought before the body was the
Child Labor bill. Compulsory edu-
cation and child labor is one of the
new problems for our people to solve.
1t is with sadness | chronicle the
death of our friend and neighbor, MIR.
Nj. NJ. Eubanks, who died on We'd
nesday last, he leaves devoted wife
and son, mother, four brothers and
four sisters to mourn his death. How
sad it is for one to be cut down SO
soon in life: he being only twenty
four years old on the day ne was
buried, just in the prime of young
manhood. They sorrow not as those
that have no hope for while on his
death bed he gave full assurance that
he was ready to meet death.
Brother thou was mild and lovely
Gentle rs a summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening
When it floats among the trees.
Yet again We hope to meet thee
When the day OF life is n-d,
Then in heaven with JOY to greet thee
When no farewell tear is shed.
JOSIAH.

Mr, Burgess lives near ;oncsyille

AZ one time during the war Gen
eral Evans brigade was camped at
Mount Pleasant, S. G. There was
"A lons bridge that spancd the cut
between Mount Pleasant and Sulli-
vans Islam! which connected the
Island with the mainland. We were
apprehensive that The Yankees would
in the night slip around Sullivan S
Island in the small boats and burn
the bridge and thus cut off connec
ton between the two places. The
different regiments Of the brigade
would guard this bridge at night al
teria'ciy. The men were strung
along on the bridge few PAGES ap,rt
and there was no relief during the
whole nigh, every man had to keep
awake and watch all night. The
field officers would act rs off
GERS Of the guard and pass along
occHSSnally to Sc if the men
were fat Their pests and were
awake. One night Lieut. Col. w.
b. Allison was passing along from
post to post and he came to Sam
Stack, of Go. a, 18th Regiment,
and Stack was sitting on his KNAPP
sack his gun standing between his
legs, bis blanket over his back and
head and fast asleep, and to 90 to
sleep on picket post is death accord

sure enough and he hailed him
with che words, asleep eh, | have

quiet and listened for a minute but
heard nothing, and they concluded
it was large fish splashing about
in the water and the Colonel passed
on and never knew from that day
to this that Stack was sure enough
asleep.

a population in 1890 CT 5,997 S53.
representing an increase during the
ten years of 1,27O,159, or 2l3 per
cent. A small portion Of this in

there were 3,3l8 Indians and 3
other persons, or total OF 1921
persons, on Indian reservations, ct: :,
in New York, who were especia "
enumerated in 1890 but were rt

ten-year period, and the percentage
of increase has been greater than at
any census since 1860.
The present population of the
State is more than , L times as large
as the population reported at the
first census in 1890.
The total land surface of New
York is, approximately, II ,G2O
square miles, the average number of
persons to the square mile at the
census of 1900 being 1926.
The following territorial changes

A Pretty stin Decision.

Tn the county court at York, Pa., Judge Stewart the other day rendered his opinion in the contempt cases grow George W. Test, corresponding repre- sentative of the sIron Holders Union of North America; John P. Frey of Worcester, Mass, fourth vice president of the union, and Howard Winner of the local union, were adjudged guilty of contempt of court in violating the courts injunction restraining them from picketing and otherwise interfer- ing with the York Manufacturing com pany.
 Test and Frey were sentenced to pay a fine of $25O and costs and to undergo imprisonment for 30 days, and Winner was fined $25, which he paid, and was released. Test and Frey, being unable to pay, were sent to Jail.
 Judge Stewart in his opinion said:
 "Workmen have the right to contract with and work for whom they please upon such terms and conditions and for such pay as they may be willing to ac- cept. These are rights which cannot be questioned or denied. They exist in the very nature of things and are written in the constitution of the state, and any person who undertakes by force, men, aces or threats, direct or indirect, though cloaked in the softest language, to violate or interrupt them, is guilty of a wrong, and such conduct will be and must be restrained by the courts"

WILLIAM Fl. SYLVIS.
A Brief Account of the Life and

A Brief Account of the Life and
 Work of a Pioneer Trade Unionist.
 The Iron Holders union is one of the
 strongest labor organizations in the
 country. but it did not attain its pres ent dimensions without a great strug-
 gle. The national union was formed in 1859 through the efforts of William Fl. Sylvis of Philadelphia. MT. Sylvis and several other holders formed a local
 union in the Quaker City in 1855. In 1857 the men in his shop were asked to accept a reduction of 12 per cent. They refused to accept the reduction and aft CT a long strike won out. If unity in one city is good, unity in many cities is better. So argued MT. Sylvis when on April II he submitted a proposition di- recring that correspondence with un- ions of holders in other cities be open ed with a view to the settlement of some basis of cooperation between them. He was secretary of the commit tee to call a convention, and on July 5, 1859, 35 delegates, representing unions of holders located in Philadelphia, AL bany, Troy, Peekskill, Utica and Port chester, N. Y.; Wilmington, Del; Balti- more, Cincinnati, Providence, Jersey City and St. Louis, met in Philadel- phia. Officers were elected, Mir. Sylvis being the treasurer, and an adjourn ment was had till Jan. 10. 1860, when they met at Albany and completed the organization. which comprised 2S sub ordinate unions. The civil war caused the disintegration of the union, a ma- jority of the holders enlisting, includ- ing MT. Sylvis. His term of service ex- piring, MT. Sylvis called a convention of holders at Pittsburg. and the na- tional union was restored, he being elected president. He held that posi- tion to his death, July 27, 1869. His re- mains lie in Laurel Hill cemetery on tie banks of the romantic Schuylkill.
 William H. Sylvis was born in 1928 in Indiana. When 9 years old, he went to work for neighboring farmer, who agreed to support him in return for his time and services. The following four winters his master sent him to school. about three months each year. This W oo aAA lAC SCAOOlluS uc ever SOC. lQeu he became a helper in foundry, and when he learned his trade he located in Philadelphia. In one year as nation al president he travelled 10000 miles and organized many unions, his total expenses being $S99.86. He early con- ceiyed the idea of ultimately centraliz- ing all workingmen's organizations into one grand body, which he hoped could be made sufficiently powerful to pre- vent or punish any trespass upon the rights of the toiling millions. He or ganized the. National Labor party in 1866 and was its president when he died. He was spared the pain of seeing the utter failure of the political move ment he had long cherished, but the | positive work he had done for the Iron Holders union and the trade move ment in general still lives and will-iiye forever.-Grit.

shaner Didn't Want a Strike.

I wish to say, and the manufa cturers will be forced to bear me out in my statement, that I never wished this strike. I have been president of the An,algamated association for three years. Tn that time I have sought to perfect the organization in a business like manner. For three years our as- easements have been coming into the treasury, and because of the universal ly peaceful course that we pursued nothing has been spent in waging war against the mills
 The treasury of the association has plenty in its coffers and to spare. AS soon as the strike was announced I was in receipt of thousands of letters and telegrams offering assistance. The va rious branch organizations wrote ask ing to be assessed, but refused.
 I tried SO hard to avoid this strikei None will know how many sleepless nights spent over it. I know what long drawn out strikes mean. I have seen women and little children suffer ing when the fathers and husbands were out on strike. thought of all the possible suffering that might ensue and after that sat down and wrote out the proposition to the manufacturers.
 never thought they would refuse to sign it. It was conservative and fair. I went to the conference on Friday be lieving in my very heart that my plan would be adopted. To my surprise it was refused. Then the strike follow ed.-Theodore J. Shaffer.
