to showing that at the time when she
was supposed to be q man she was
really a woman. The State got some
strong evidence on that point, but It
will not do to print. Another subject
that was under consideration for some
time was the machine" as Charlie
Caldwell calls it, which Ellis construct
ed for her W wear out of rubber that
she might look more like a man. The
deputy sheriff, Jayne, testified yester-
day that the last time he had seen this
machine" it was at the Illinois peni-
Tertiary, all bound round with a piece
of Grape. What purported to be this
same machine" was brought into court
in a box, but the witness was not per-
mited to open the box and testify as TO
the contents unless he could tell of his
own personal knowledge that it had
been sent to Mr.. Laird, the former prose-
cutting attorney, from the Illinois peni-
Tertiary. So the famous machine did
not get to the eyes of the jury.
William Richardson was recalled 10

Element of the strike is active in all
circles, and with many business men
and manufacturers generally the con-
sensus of opinion is that the combine
officials and Amalgamated officials will
get together before long and adjust the
differences.
Some of the manufacturers were en-

ranged within As hours, yet they could
give no positive information Of any
movements on foot to start the negotia-
tons.
In regard to the threat OF President
Shaffer to call out the other workmen
in the union pants of the United
States Steel corporation, made on Sat
urday, a significant statement from him
to-day that just now he was not in
the sympathetic business, is looked up
on as meaning that for the present the

work.
President Shaffer was cheerful and
said he was entirely satisfied with the
situation.

WHAT SMITH SAID.

The following telegram was received
tonight:
WELLSILLE, Ohio, July 16.-"The
|Wellsville rolling mill will he run, and
# will be run non-union. 1t will start to-
morrow. If 1t could not be run non
union. it never would be at all"
This statement was made today by
Persifer +. Smith, Of Pittsburg. district
manager for the American heet Steel
Company. He was here this morning
and made an address to the striking
mill men. He told them they had no
grievance; they had been well cared
for in the past and would be in the
future. The announcement that the
mill will be started tomorrow ana
started non-union has given rise to
TO little speculation and uneasiness
among the citizens. Many of the strik-
ers. expecting prolonged idleness, have
left the city for hunting and flshlne
camps, where they expect to spend the
summer. No new men have beer
brought in, and how Manager Smith
expects to start tomorrow is a matter
for conjecture. To-day, as yesterday
only a few laborers are working.
The above is the first intimation as
yet given by the manufacturers tina
they were other than passive partici-
pants in the big strike. What the re-
sult will be if an attempt to operate
the Wellsville plant none of the loca
Amalgamated people will predict. Al
taey will say is:
ut cannot be accomplished
Wellsville is looked upon by both
Sides as an important point and devel-
opments are anxiously awaited by all

made by the manufacturers conferees
who met the Amalgamated Association
representatives and failed to agree OF
a settlement of the strike, the manu-
lecturers did not refuse the AmaiCa
mated Association the right TO organ

But few people outside Of the trade
unions fully realize the importance Of
q trades assembly to a local labor
movement. 1t IS the tie that binds the
various craft organizations 80 closely
together. It destroys craft jealousies
and removes craft conceit. It teaches
the most skilled artisan that he is no
better than the commonest laborer.
The idea of a trades assembly IL to
bring about, through the united, har-
monious actions OF the local unions, q
complete solidarity Of labor's forces.
The first trades assembly in Duluth
was organized June ~, 1887, and was
known as the Duluth Trade and Labor
Assembly. At that time there were
but six trade or labor unions in the
city, three Of which were local assem-
blies Of the knights Of Labor.
The first Labor Day picnic was held
on Park Point, and the Assembly lost
exactly 5000 in the venture.
The Assembly worked along nicely
for three years after it's organization.
Organizing new unions and performing
other good work for the wage earners
Of the community. Finally a bitter
personal feeling arose over prominent
workers accepting political offices and
using the Assembly as a stepping stone
for selfish purposes. The building
trades unions were dissatisfied with
the treatment they were receiving and
in 1890 a split occurred. "A new organ
ization was perfected in 1891, called the
Federated Trades Assembly Of Duluth
and vicinity. The new organization
created new life in the labor move
ment Of the city. Unions began to
multiply and grow in membership. At
one time in its history the present as
sembly had no less than fifty-five uh-
ions on its roster, and were it not for
the hasty, injudicious actions of one or
two Of the younger unions, there would
have been many more unions today.
; Everything, however, is righting it.
self now and the movement is pro-
crossing as we'll al ever before. New
unions are constantly being organized
and the time is not far distant when
Duluth will again be the banner or
Eanized labor town Of the northwest.

BRICKLAYERS' UNION

Members Are Getting Good Pay ana
Working Snort Hours.
The bricklayers is one Of the best or
ganized trades in the city. There may
be non-union craftsmen in other trades,
but they are mighty scarce in the
bricklaying trade. The union of brick
layers was organized some years ago.
It has a policy and system that is III
many respects commendable. This un-
ion has met with less reverses than any
other in the city, partly because 1t is
one Of the best organized, and largely
because of it's cautious conservative
methods. They secured the eight
day several years ago. Their wages
are fairly good compared with the num-
Der of days they work in the year. The
local union is a part Of the Internation-
al Bricklayers' Union, which consists
OF over 10000 members in the United
States and Canada. While the local Is
we'll organized and its members are en-
ployed under rather fair conditions, yet
the union does not seem to appreciate
the value Of the unity Of crafts. True,
they may not secure great returns for
themselves by affiliating with central
bodies. but are capable Of contribut-
ing much to the success Of their fell
low workmen. It Is the unselfishness
in unionism that does SO much to make
1t successful. 1t is not so much the
benefits to be received, as the good that
can be done. This is the true mission
Of trade unionism, Ito help the weak.
for the strong are able to help them
selves"
