LABOR STRIKES
NOT OF REGENT ORIGIN BUT OF
 GREAT ANTIQUITY.
Troubles in Egypt Pre-christian Times-England the First in Establishing the Trade z

 Labor strikes are of great antiquity. Although ewing to the sbey a somewhat different lines from thosc or the present day. As an avatiabie starting point for such movements the case of tae Hebrews in Egypt Is given whlchS the Egyptians tried to put down by the inn position of still heavi.r tasks. Pre-Chris- tian and me1iaeyal history, also. contain against what he thought to be material wfong. The guilds of old trade associa: tons of England. which included both asters and workmen did something to- ward smo othing the relations of labor md capital. These were suppressed by lLry VIII, and although revived in succeeding reigns, were. not as effective
 Eneisnd appears to have been first in establishing the trade union. as at pres ent known. Originally these combinations of workmen were more oroless prohibited sive introduction of machinery toward the latter end of the eighteenth century gave . great impulse to the trade unon principle. and by ls2o. most, If not ,,aI, aaI, wiped off the statute books in EngIano, The efforts of the workingman in France to throw of the legal restraints against his combining with his fellows were less succt ssful. penalties being in se forse against it as late as 1868. The trade union idea in English sense took hold in Germany In the same year
 The right to make protest or appeal as a body was early claimed by the Work. men of America. The first recorded strike in this country as resale of such com bination took place in .17fl.a. Where II oc- acurfed Is not told. but 1t Is thought 70 be at Boston. In, this case the leaders were tried for conspiracy. The shoe makers of this city brought about the next big strike. It started in l.sS S,,,si ana lasted three years. The sailors or Ph,ua- isas delphia struck for higher wages m iSoo. The leaders of it were arrested and nd in.. .: prisoned. A New YorK strike Of 1853 oy the shoemskers first brought the .,Ns woro in 1ssi eavs titie to the epithet rat as aprlied to aN non-union man.

 At At first 1t was deemed impossible to span the river at this point, but. despite the opinion of several ensineertng experts Engineer Wisner of the board was com vinced that it would be done.

 Engineers in tine city are unanimous In declaring this bridge one Of the greatest feats. from an engineering standpoint; in the country The bearings of the bridge, instead of being pinioned like those of an ordinary baschle bridge, are free and move backward and forward on a steel table.

States That are Neither Northern, Southern, Eastern, Middle
 NeF1Western.

Baltimore Snn. .--,.--. .- ..,.,. Missouri should be classed as a Southern or a Western State. The Atlanta Consti- tution calls 1t a Southern State. Fhe St
 Louis Globe Democrat declares that It IS not a Southern State, but should be classcd with the West. The Globe-Dem- Ocrat is a Republican paper and does not like the South But who is to decide to which SC ction this great State belongs? Geogre phically 1t may be considered any thing It stretches from the latitude of the northern boundary of North Cnroli- ma and Tennessee to the latitude of New York City. It extends farther north than Kansas. farther south than Virginia, and about as far west as Iowa and Mime Northern State of Illinois But The Globe Democrat contends. the division of States Is not so much geographical as It is political. Missouri did not sscede; it army, and while 1t was slave State, "siavery was a small concern among the aggregate of Missourfs interests| Final that 1t is not a Southern State. that Missouri does not raise cotton. Neither does Virginia. In point Of fact there seems to be no certain rue TOT cLassiIy li nI,S.
 ing States. Each geographer has his own ideas
 Maryland is variously classified as . Southern. Middle: and Central AL lantic State. But the great majority or Marylanders consider it a Southern State. It did not secede. it does not raise cotton and it's location Is far to the Teorth or tne cotton States. Nevertheless. Mason and Dlxon's line was always considered tne dividing line between North and South. Maryland was a slave State, and it's sym pathies are with the South and It's trade is largely in the same direction. It Is true that in politics this State as well as Missouri has become doubtful. but North Carolina did not cease to be a Southern State when it elected Republican Gov ernor. The States of sne Union are. clas- sihed in groups. and not one sof these groups Is definitely settled except the New England States. There is no doubt
