Court Uph olds Trade Union.

Let all those who talk about "ty-
renny Of trade unions note the fol-
lowing language of the highest court
in the State of New York: so long
as workmen must assume all the risk
OF injury that may come Ia them
through the careiessness of co-em-
ployes, they have the moral and legal
right to say that they will not work
with certain men. and the employer
must take their dictation or go without
their services. The defendant asso-
citation, as appears from the findings,
wanted to put their men in the place
90 certain men at work who were non
members, working for smaller pay, and
they set about doing 1t in a perfectly
lawful manner. They determined that
IL 1t were necessary they would bear
the burden and expense of strike to
accomplish that result, and in 80 de-
termining they were clearly within
their rights
And here is the law and the gospel
of the whole opinion: "A labor organ
ization is endowed with precisely the
same legal right as is an individual to
threaten to do that which it may law
fully do"

A monument to John Burns. the
citizen hero OF the battle of Gettsy-
burg. has just been erected by the
state of Pennsylvania. 1t is situated
in the open fields near Reynolds
woods on the western ridge of the first
days field. 1t was here that John
Burns won renOwn.
The monument shows bronze fig
ure of heroic size, standing on a great
boulder of battlefield granite. On the
face of the boulder is the following in
scription
My thanks are specially due to a
citizen of Gettysburg named John
Burns, who. although over 20 years of
age. Shouldered his musket and offer
ed his services to Col. Wister One
Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania
Volunteers. Col. Wister advised him
to fight in the woods as there was
more shelter there. But he preferred
to join our line of skirmishers in the
open fields When the troops retired
he fought with the Iron Brigade. He
was wounded in three places.-Gettys-

When a man or woman joins a labor
organizat ton he or she becomes strong
in proportion to the excellence of the
organization of the craft of which they
are an integral part. A weak labor or
ganization is a standing Invitation to
the employer to reduce wages, while
the strong organizations invite anx-
iety on the part of the employer TO
have an agreement and contract with
his employees. This of itself speaks
volumes for the business methods the
trade union movement has inaugur-
ated and injected into society at large
This principle does now and will in
the future receive more Endorsements
from the very men who a few years
ago absolutely refused to recognize la
Dor unions, and much less would treat
with them in a body.
A labor organization never intended
to injure any man, but on the contrary
is DESTROYS of promoting a better feel
ing among all classes. and when a con-
fict cannot be avoided it is simply to
vindicate itself and the principles it
stands for that they resist all unfair
proposals and conditions.

Boot and Shoe Operatives Uneasy.

A movement is under way among
the boot and shoe operatives through
out New England for an increase in
wages. 1t is not definitely fixed where
the demand on the manufacturers will
be made, but it is likely to be soon.
The manufacturers say that under the
present conditions of the market it
will be impossible to grant the in
crease. Unless the manufacturers re-
eede from their position it is possible
that New England will witness ona
OF the largest strikes that has ever &C.
Cured in the boot and shoe industry.

When Gen. William Sooy Smith"
said the Captain, was preparing for
his raid in 1864, very funny thing
happened at Grand Junction. Horses
and mules were sent to this point for
remounts and for pack trains, and
hundreds OF men were held there to
put horses through the preliminary
training. One day $50 mules We're I'M
loaded from train that was supposed
to contain only horses. and there was
much swearing and Joking over the
mistake.
The men assigned to look after the
horses were disinclined to tackle the
mules. and hundreds of darkies vol
unteered to ride the mules to camp.
Finally $50 delighted darkies were
mounted on $50 mules and were ar
ranged in line awaiting the orders of
the quartermaster in charge. Before
any instructions could be given. the
engineer of the waiting train gave
Two sharp tootS on his locomotive
whistle, and instantly $50 pairs of
mules heels went into the air, and $50
darkies rose in line like so many huge
blackbirds taking fight.
THE scene was indescribably fun
ny. and yet was disturbing. The dar-
kies. yelling in unison, held on for
dear life, and the mules. turning tail,
bolted for the woods 200 or 800 yards
away. In among the trees they went
like scared deer. shedding their dark
riders as they went. The darkies all
came back in the course of two or
three days, but not more than fifty
of the mules were ever accounted for.

barber shops in the city where Women
are employed, and that, with but very
few exceptions, all thought favorably
of the proposition to join q nnson for
mutual protection. Miss Baker said
nearly all the female BARRIERS In the

and were willing to take their chances
in any examination as to atness aue
competency with the male BARRIERS Of
Chicago. She added that most of the
women BARRIERS in the city were good

complaint that women BARRIERS make

is Of general interest. especially to vet
Grams of the war. The case is that of
A. A. Daniels Of Grand Forks. N. D.
Through an error on the part of a
clerk in the pension bureau Daniels
was paid several hundred dollars in
excess OF an allowance granted. In
1899 he was granted a pension of $12
month. Later il was reduced to Sc,
but the higher rate was paid for some
years, owing to the loss in the mails of
instructions to the agent at Milwau-
kee. When the error was discovered
Comm issioner Evans decided that he
would withhold Daniels pension until
the amount of the error was paid the
government. The secretary of the in
terror decided that the claimant should
not suffer through a blunder on the
part of the pension bureau.
The pension committees of congress
are steadily at work in efforts to bring
about changes in the general pension
laws to make the work of the pension
bureau easier.

from other banners.
3. A flag of truce is d white flag,
displayed to an enemy to indicate a

After a battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead under the
