Others, where mills and factories had
been closed and many men thrown
out of employment Trusts are not
beneficial to the laboring man; they
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. They can say shut down this
mill or start that one up; that labor
was not independent and that they
were at the mercy of these gigantic
monopolies. He also stated that the
labor organizations were not as strong
as they were before the trusts were
formed and could not put up the fight
they formerly could, as few unions had
million in their treasury, and asked
what million could do fighting
against trust of fifty millions. He
said that to-day fifty per cent. of the
rolling mills were non-union. The
mills were closed down to keep I'D
prices at home, while abroad they sold
at a less price. Here Mr.. Morris cited
the, anthracite coal strike The men
asked ten per cent advance, and the
operators claimed they could not az
ford it; but only a few weeks ago
New York capitalist offered 1912 for
every $50 share. Yet they could not
afford a ten per cent. advance. Was
the coal trust helping the miner?
Mr.. Parsons answered. and said only
thirty-five per cent. of the iron mills
were not union, and that under the
trusts his wages had been advanced
fifteen per cent. over all prior Amalga-
nation scales. He also stated that dur
ing the last year 1872 new unions had
been organized. Mr. Morris stated that
the unions might have grown in num-
bers, but that their opponents had
grown much more in strength, and
that they had not one mill to fight,
but combination of mills. He had
received 20 per cent. of an advance.
but he would prefer his old wages and
steady work, as the advance amounted
to little when you only worked six
months of the year.
A. J. Grouse cited the difference in
the cost of living, compared with the
increase of wages, and stated that prior
to the trusts for two years he worked

J. O. O'Toole cited some of the &C
lions OF the Standard On Company;
also the beef trust, selling meat abroad
cheaper than at home.
Harry Joseph said labor unions were
trusts, and That the butchers had a
union to keep UP prices.
Mr.. Morris answered that the butch
ers union was not TO advance prices,
that 1t was no trust, and that its main
OBJECT was to have regular opening and
closing hours. Thomas YinSling, a
butcher, stated that their union could
not control prices. as they were retail
ers; that the wholesalers controls I'D
the prices, and that their object was
TO be uniform in prices.
The debate closed. and the debaters
viii take the opposite sides at the next
meeting. The debate was friendly and
very interesting. Many good points
We're brought out.
The Union adjourned to meet the

some months ago q good deal was said
about an orgazs1ation being formed BY

a little for himself on the side II Il were
possible. With his hands IN his pockets,
his fannel shirt open al the throat dis

things the bartender insisted that Il
would cost the logger $50 for damages.

that he dad not have that amount OF

The chinese Language Has No Grah'-

Many Dialects.
Paradoxical though Il may sound. we
are strictly within the limits Of accu-
racy when we say that Chinese Is. at
the same time. the simplest and most
dihicult language in the world; most
simple from the absence OF those gram
matical rules and innectionai forms
which vex the student OF European
languages: most dificult because or
the combination OF different languages
and all known as Chinese.
The book" Chinese is never spoken,
while the colloquiai in written form
would merit the supreme contempt Of
the average Chinese student and su-
percillious scholar.
The written character Is universally
the same throughout the empire; but
each province, city. town and village
seems TO have reserved the right 70 in
vent its own pronunciation OF those
written words which are common TO
the whole nation. and which constitute
an eternal aud fnseparable bond which
win link the eighteen provinces to-
gether as long as China remains ma
tion.
The possibility Of two Cinnamon

dulge IN mutual conversation in that

Illustrate the pronounced differences
