LABOR LOBBYISTS
They Came In for n Searching by Mr..

They Came In for n Searching by MI.
Hicks, G. Nj. w. - e.
The alleged raw work of the labor
lobbyists at the New York state capitol
is the chief theme Of Grand Master Work
man Hicks annual address to the Knights
of Labor congress of New York. He finds
much to condemn in the'way labor legis
lation has been handled there and makes
it plain that he regards the labor lob
byists as the chief cause Of the unsatis-
factory results. He says:
One of the greatest draw backs to labor and
its good name, is the disgreceful manner in
which the cause of labor is misrepresented at
the state capitol each year by the labor lobby
lists so-called who are continually parad-
ing themselves as the direct owners and mas
tiers of 276000 organized wage-earners of the
state and whose alleged support can be Sc
cured for any trust corporate bill that may
be introduced for money consideration.
Continuing he quotes at length from a
letter from a member of the New York
assembly stating the situation in this
regard as he has seen it. The labor lob
byists at the capitol, this assemblyman
declares, are the chief stumbling block
in the way Of labor legislation. They cla-
NOR constantly for labor legislation and
at the same time pray fervently that they
may receive none. The New York state
federation of labor is the organization
aimed at in the above criticisms, and the
fact is made plain enough all through
that there is nothing in common between
the officials of the K. Of l.. and the Fed
Grafton of Labor, of which Samuel Com

to Lieut.. Maury, American.
Paris, Feb. IA proposition has been
made by DR.. A. Bergeret to raise an inter-
national monument to Lieutenant Maury.
the pioneer Of modern meteorology and
photography. The occasion was a lee
ture by DR.. Bergeret, professor of terres-
trial physics at the Sorbonne, on the
rCirculation of the Air.
The lecturer recalled that Feb. 6, 1S4s,
sailing vessel left Baltimore for Rio de
Janeiro provided with Lieutenant Maury's
charts. The voyage to the equator was
effected in twenty-one days instead Of
forty days, which was previously the
minimum required. DR.. Bergeret ex-
planned the theory Of the trade winds and
of cyclonic and anti-cyclonic centers
which Lieutenant Maury rendered practi-#
cal and popular. The eminent American
photographers studies on the Gulf stream
and the maritime currents were dwelt
upon:
from the general law of circulation of the
air laid down by Lieutenant Maury by his
epoch making labors. Lieutenant Maury
demonstrated that scientists are the best
servants of humanity He diminished tho
breadth of ocean by half, for he made it
possible to cross the Atlantic and the Pacific
in half the time previously necessary. The
economy, moreover, in the cost of maritime
transportation resulting from the use CT Lieu
tenant Maury's charts was estimated at 300,-
600 francs annually.
The suggestion to raise monument to
Lieutenant Maury was received with
warm applause, and a provisional commit
tee was formed to carry it out

George H. Graves member of defend
ant society, having been received therein as
such in April 1894, a proper certificate evil
dencing the fact being duly issued to him.
By the terms of his membership the bylaws
of the society were part and portion of his
contract, and he was required thereby to pay
into the treasury: Of the .slocal camp" Of
which he was a member certain assessments

the local camp was in the habit of receiving
from the members, including Graves, pay

due ard when the members stood suspended
from the society for non payment; but this
custom was not known to or authorized or
sanctioned by defendant, or the local camp,
or by the officers of either, and was in direct
violation of the bylaws of the society. Held,
following Elder VS.. Grand Lodge, 70 Mimi,
46S, that the custom Of such clerk being un-

The offense charged against the par

the members Of the Trades and Labor

1t was purely a personal matter with
them.
Organized labor generally is slow to &C

statement made has had but little effect

PROFIT SHARING
An Interesting Instance of the Prin-
cip1e's Application.

Fall River, Mass, offers an interesting
instance of the benefits of profit sharing.
The directors of the Bourne cotton mills
at that place have just announced a divi-
dend to operatives of 3.24 per cent on the
last six months wages. The wages are
as high as the highest in Fall River and
the mill is one of the most prosperous
there. The profit sharing principle has
been in operation for twelve years. The
Bourne mills use the most modern ma
chnery. In the Bourne mill one weaver
will tend twenty looms, in many other
mills only eight Part of the benefit of
the improved machinery, therefore, goes
to- the operatives in higher wages and div
idends. In the opinion of that eminent
authority on economics, Professor Gun
ton, if there is any policy that will save
the New England cotton mills against the
ever increasing competition of the south
ern establishments it is this same profit
sharing policy. .r.".... ....< ....... e.. e..

The proper practice in securing a modiica-

such modification it is discretionary with the
trial court whether the evidence bearing upon
the question shall be in the nature of affida-
