would take them to the Southwest-as
-eear as possible to the golden valley.
There were grave consultations in
the cabinet of President Pierce. Our
former commissioners at Guadalupe
now declared that they had been de-
ceived by an incorrect map when they
made the treaty of 1S4S. 1t was de-
termined to apply to Mexico for a fur
land. How much would be required to
insure the inclusion of the golden VAL
ley no one knew; but to be safe, strip
nois was to be asked for. The ignorant
en- valley, would, of course, sell the
land cheap, as it was worthless for
man or beast.
But the crafty Mexicans were not
slow to perceive the real anxiety and
determination of the American minis
ter. They had traded off a deSolate
Pacific coast, only to find within a few
months later that it was gold field of
priceless value. They would not be
so foolish second time. Ten millions
of dollars, in 1858, was an incredible
sum. Yet the MeXicans would not
abate one daigt of it on any account.
/ The preteXt of a misunderstanding
of an incorrect map, used at the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo-was urg-
ed in a menacing manner, but all to no
purpose.
In it's sober senses no government
would have paid such price for

position TO recommend it. But the

on their customers for goods to be
given in exchange for cigars. Grocers
would give groceries-to the cigarmak-
er and his help inrreturn for supplies
= Of cigars. Single men would be- given
orders upon hotels for board and room.
This system proved very vexatious to
the men, and the first effort of the
union was to abolisheit. The struggle
was hard, but success attended the
union. The union has been through
many strikes and lock-outs since then,
and, though it has seen considerable
adversely, it's condition at the present
time is very prosperous.
Many Pioneers Have Gone.
The history of the majority of the
unions is not marked with any partic-
uIarly striking events. The growth has
been slow, but sure. During the last
ten years the number Of unions has
doubled, and the membership of the
old unions has been in all cases in
creased over so per cent. The begin
ming OF the movement that has carried
the unions forward dates back to the
early SOS. At that time there were
several active union workers, to whose
efforts the present condition of the
unions is due. Following the organi-
zation of the Trades and Labor assem-
bly,, in 1884, the work of organization
became more general, and was con-
Quoted in harmony with the federation.
Many of the old leaders have left the
city and some have left the world. n
George A. Lafayette was one of the
most distinguished workers at that
time in organizing unions. He was an
enthusiastic champion of the principle
of unionism, and was interchangeable

at
in his efforts to advance, it's cause. He
was convincing speaker, and would
gather numbers of men from each
trade and harangue them on the neces-
Sity Of having an organiZa ton. He was
in a manner a stump speaker in the
cause of trade Unions. He and Thomas
Ward worked together. Lafayette
would gather together a number of
men, and would talk to them, and Tom
Ward would make arrangements for
the organization. He would tell the
men where TO write for the necessary
papers, and would advise them as to
the procedure to be observed in con-
Quoting the organization In this way
a large number of unionSJ was form
ed and reorganized.-
Strong Central Organization.
The Trades and Labor assembly was
organized melissa, being made up of
representatives of the unions existing
time to secure harmony among the
many unions, but with the, lapse OF
time and with the advance of the
unions they realized that central
body to council on the affairs of all
was necessary. The assembly has
gradually attained the influence it now
yields. Among the prominent mem
berS of the Trades ana LABOR Assembly
were Frank Casserly, James Morrow,
M. ]. Daily, e. c. Eyes, Frank Valesch,
John Fisher and others.
In 1899 the Building Trades council
was formed and it has become import
ant in union circles. 1t consists of rep
resentatives of the building trades and
has for it's purpose the advancement Of
the interests of the unions included in
the building trades !
The early growth of the unions was
handicapped by the friction between
them and the Knights. of Labor, who
were quite strong here for time. The
Knights of Labor was a general work
ingmans order representatives of all
trades being admittedEto the assem-
blies regardless to2classification: The
trade unions that now prevail here
were opposed to the Knights of Labor
but the latter have died out, owing to
several reasons.
There are now in st. Paul nearly one
hundred unions, including the building
trades, the miscellaneous crafts, and
the railroad machinists, blacksmiths,
boilermakers, engineers, firemen, con-
ductors and trainmen. There is total
of about ten thousand union men in
ST Paul, and the number is rapidly In
creasing.

Tie growth of labor unions in st.
Paul and in all parts of the United
States has been marked by many vi
cissftudes The difficulties attending
the organization of labor and the de-
velopment of the. unions have been
the same here as in all parts of the
country. The beginning of every
movement, whether the foundation OF
a government, a religious denomlna-
ton, or q. trade union, is beset WITHIN
and without by elements that must be
conquered before success may be at
tanned The phenomenal growth Of
unionism is to be attributed to the ne
cesSity for it's existence. Workingmen
realize now more than ever before
that if they are to have the rights they
deserve they must demand them, and
that if their demands are to be grant
ed they must organize In order to en-
force them. The popularity of hu-
man nature which establishes the in
CAPABILITIES of society is responsible for
the imperfect and often hostile rela-
lions that exist between employer and
employee resulting in the advent Of
trade unions.
The trade union has, during the past
quarter of a century, become an i'm
portant factor in the economic life of
the world. Though organization among
the laboring classes is known to have
existed as far back as ancient Hebrew
and Roman times and though the craft
guilds of the middle ages played an
important part in the history of the
period, it was not until the middle Of
the last century that the movement
which has now become so general first
began. Unions among several of the
trades had been organized to certain
extent before then. but no important
results We're accomplished. The tail
ors organized in 1903, and the print

marked results. This is particularly
true of the unions in st. Paul. The
local unions grow hand in hand with
the national movement.
The beginnings of the labor move
ment in st. Paul were very quiet. For
a long time the organizations were
semi secret societies, and the members
kept their doings strictly private. 1t
was not until the organizations be-
came strong that they came before the
public as champions Of the cause of
labor. The meetings were conducted
with all the formalities of secret So
cieties, and the members were enjoin-
ed against disclosing the proceedings.
The public sentiment was not as favor
able to the principle of trade unionism
as it is today and the precautions
which were observed were found nee
essary for the preservation of the Or
ganiZation. But as the unions gained
strength, and as they came forth and
boldly declared their purposes and
aims, it became to be generally real
lied that they were powerful agents
for good. The unions had to persevere
against elements within as we'll as
forces without that retarded their
progress. The working men did not all
at first understand the purposes of the
unions, and did not see the practical
results that would accrue from mem
bership in them. Gradually, however,
the working men have come to see
that in the union of labor rests the
salvation of the wage Garner.
Early History Is Obscure.
The early history Of the trade unions
of st. Paul is involved in obscurity. A
few unions were formed, but no record
has been kept and the members have
been scattered. Several of the pres
ent unions, however, are the descend
ants Of these pioneers, and there are
still many of the old-timers in the city.
AS nearly as can be ascertained the
cigarmakers, the printers, the locomo
tive engineers and firemen, conductors,
carpenters, painters and beicklayers
were among the first to establish
unions that have continued since their
formation, Many of these have been

Came From the East.
In the sos and '70s, when st. Paul
began to develop, the principle of trade
unionism was brought here from the
East, and since then, with the increase
in the population and business activ-
ity of the city, the unions have grown
to the proportions they have now as
sumed.
The local unions have come into eX-
istence and have grown with the gen.
eral ms vements, embracing all the arts
and crafts, and has spread throughout
the United States and Canada. The
first attempt at the formation of a ma
tional organization was made by the
Knights of Labor, who, in the '70s and
sos were a powerful body. The
knights of Labor sprang from an or
ganization of garment workers in Phil
adelphia.- A small body got together
and formed an organization which was
a strict secret society, having for its
purpose the general improvement of
the condition of it's members. The
purposes of the order were more gener-
al than are those of the unions now
in vogue, which have for their purpose
more particularly the improvement of
labor conditions, the securing Of just
wage scales and the maintenance of
satisfactory hour limits. The Knights
of Labor rapidly extended and soon
embraced other trades besides the orig
inal organizers. This organization adj
Tnitted' to the local assemblies repre-
sentatives of all crafts and did not
separate the various trades into indi
vidual unions. The Federation of
Labor, with which the local unions
are affiliated, was organized in 1881,
and has superseded the Knights of La
Dor The latter organization still eX-
lists in the East, but has only a few
thousand members, while the former
has now a membership estimated to
be close to three million. 1t embraces
eighty-seven national and internation-
al unions, 327 city central labor unions,
twenty state declarations of labor, 399
federated labor unions and $50 local
unions.
Growth Is Very Rapid.
The rapid growth of these unions is
rendered strikingly apparent when it is
remembered that twenty years ago the
unions We're small, and in but few
cases strong enough to accomplish

suitability to the special scene-have
you ever noticed that no actress at
temptS an emotional scene with her
hat on? In fact SO many things have
to be considered that suitability in
conventional scene seems to be the
least of them. Take the gown in ques-
ton. 1t is pale blue house gown and
over it is worn a pale blue coat. The
scene is a dark one and that makes the
light color necessary. A black or gray
coat would not do at all. 1 wanted a
mauve coat and gown for that scene
for personally I detest pale blue. You
see, I'm blonde and when I was a lit
tie girl they always dressed me in pink
or blue. 1 grew to detest the colors
and I dislike them to this day. But
the girl who plays the part of Mrs.
Larrabee in the play wanted mauve so
I selected pale blue.
She Didn't Get Mauve.
"And after ALL" plaintively "she
didn't get mauve. 1 had another dis
appointment in regard to that cos
tune" continued Miss Shannon remin-
iscently. Il originally intended the
coat to be a shade darker than the
gown but we could not get the shade
desired so the coat was made up in the
same color That is the reason why
dress and coat, 1 suppose, look like one
garment. -t

Only Had One Stage Husband.
"Some one asked me the other day."
said Miss Shannon abruptly dropping
the subject of villains for the more in
teresting one of heroes, what I
thought of stage husbands and which
variety of stage husbands 1 liked the
best. That question led to discovery
that rather surprised me. During all
my career on the stage I have never
played the part of a married woman
except in the play last season, Her
Lord and Master" OF course have
been engaged and the curtain has fall
en- on promises of future bliss. Three
times even have been led to the altar
but, alas, only to have the drop curtain
cut off all chance for stage matrimo-
NAL experiments. Last season my
stage husband was hectoring indi-
vidual. He said do this and I meekly
did it. Oh, there was a little rebellion,
of course, to make the plot OF the story
but in the end I yielded and obeyed.
But I think one reason why that play
was successful-at least we had large
audiences-was because the hero was
masterful.. Don't you think that is the
kind of husband women ike-not only
stage women but all women? Sherlock
Holiness, the character Mr.. Kelcey is
playing now, is quite a different sort.
He's not a woman's man at all. He's
a mans man. I like the character and
