Noted Cities.

Chicago is probably the most widely
known city in the United States.
Noted for its push and enterprise a,
well as being the Windy City.
Milwaukee also has a worldwide
reputation on account of the quality al
well as the quantity of it's annual bro.
duction of beer.
St. Paul, while possibly not so gener
ally we'll known as the two former
cities, is nevertheless noted in many
ways, and is one of the popular Twin
Cities of the Northwest.
All three are famous cities and their
names combined form the name OF
Americas greatest railway, famous
and noted the world over for it's super
lor management, elegant equipment,
splendid service and general adoption
OF all the latest safety appliances for
the comfort and safety of its patrons.
Its electric lighted trains are noted
the world over.

Lexington and he was very proud of
his club.

Skill Always Counts.

A Chicago builder, who was not long
since a mechanic, but is now pros
porous boss" and speculator, said
the other day that an ordinary carpen-
ter needs, nowadays. only hammer
and a saw, and with these weapons"
he is fully equipped to undertake any
common piece of carpentry.
This is hardly fair statement, but
it is quite true that with the introduce
ton of woodworking machinery, with
ready-made sashes and blinds and
doors and holdings and general fin
ishings, there is scarcely such an in
dividual now as the journeyman car
penter, or the joiner, in contradistinc-
ton to the apprentice.
Skill counts still, as 1t did in the
old days of the trade, and as it always
must. but the lad who signs articles
for an apprenticeship covering period
OF years is certainly not an Ameri-
can.

Western Labor Union.

The call for the fifth annual con-
vention of the Western Labor Union,
to meet in Denver, Col, May 26, has
been issued. In the call the officers
urge that every union of Importance
in the intermountain parts of the
country send full representation of
delegates, in order that the interests
of all be personally represented. 1t is
expected to be the largest and most
important convention yet held by that
organization. Every affiliated union
is asked to design and draft any
amendments to the constitution or
alteration of the bylaws as may seem
judicious. prudent and expedient.
The continued friendship, cooperation
and support of organized labor all over
the United States is asked for. Since
the last convention seventy-one char
tiers have been granted; seventeen OF
these were in Denver alone. the other
fifty-four unions throughout the inter-
mountain states.

Glen Jarvis, vice president Of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, has about
completed his annual report for the
fifth district of the association. He
will be able to show an increase of
membership in the district, compris-
ing Indiana and southern Illinois, and
the addition of three lodges. The
last district meeting of the year will
be held in Chicago late in Maroh, and
the annual meeting of the association
at Wheeling, w. Va. in April.
President Shaffer is in much better
health. There is now a belief that If
he is willing to continue in office he
will be reelected unanimously.
Thomas Williams Of New Castle, Pa.
has been spoken of as a candidate for
president, and Assistant Secretary
Tighe of the association is mentioned
as a probable candidate.

There is no more reason why those
who serve the city or the state or the
general government should be pen
stoned than there is that those who are
employed by firms or corporations
should be. They get good salaries and
IL they do not choose to put by part
of their earnings for old age they
ought to take the consequences. The
pension system is pregnant with evils
and promises to become extremely
troublesome.

such concessions to Cuba, and as a

it his duty to respect the popular will.

BrIcklayers' Convention.

The bricklayers international con-
vention, representing $4,000 members
in the United States and Canada, held
its annual meeting in Pittsburg. One
of the important questions before the
convention was that OF affiliation with
the American Federation of Labor.
The bricklayers, like some of the rail-
road organizations. have always held
aloof from the federation, preferring
to fight its own battles and let others
do the same A strong effort was
made to reverse this policy at the con-
vention and failed by close vote.
All the old officers were reelected, It
was decided for the first time to make
the office of general president sal
aried one, and President Gubbins will
start in at $1,000 year and expenses.

ton of resolution that no union

President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America has return
ed to Indianapolis from the meeting
of the executive committee of the
National Civic Federation at New
York.
The executive committee was ap-
pointed to consider ways and means
of bringing labor and capital into
closer relationship. The committee
adopted constitution and bylaws,
and hereafter will meet once a year,
unless called together by an emer-
gency.
President Mitchell firmly believes
that the object for which the commit
tee was appointed will be achieved and
points to the settling of the big strike
Of garment workers in New York re-
Gently, in which over 10000 persons
were out, as one of the substantial re-
suits already attained. He says the
plan will not avert all strikes. but it
will reduce them materially and mini
mize the possibility of long drawn out
struggles in which vast sums OF money
are lost both to the employers and
their men. Arbitration will not be
attempted unless both sides agree to
abide by the verdict.

Senator Stewart of Nevada, speaking
in support Of the policy Of the admin
istration In the Philippines, declares
that there is absolutely no foundation
for the belief that 1t is intended to set
up colonial government in the Philip
pines. Yet Gov. Taft testified clearly
that In his opinion we might eventu-
ally have over there colony or de-
tendency such as Great Britain has in
Canada and Australia. Stewart wants
to give the Philippines a territorial
government such as Nevada had be-
fore 1t became state in the union. 1t
seems to us there are too many people
trying to speak for the administration
and the Republican party in regard to
this matter.

when the Woods Turn Green Again.
There's a warm, warm wind comes from
the South
With a promise and a song
A song that wells from a rose-lipped
mouth,
In cadence full and strong.
1t whispers, whispers through the day
To the hearts of longing men.
That the time IL coming on the way
When the woods turn green again.
When the woods turn green in the sun
shines kiss,
And dream DER the lazy pool,
Where the dappled shadows. hit-and-miss
Sway slowly, dark and cool.
And the long, long dawnings bring the
tune
or the robin, thrush and wren,
Till they lullaby to the day-held moon.
When the woods turn green again.
When the woods turn green. and the
sky's rich hue
Takes deeper, truer shade,
And the blood-red peoples dot the view
In a pattern God has made.
Then the song the south wind sings 80

And its mellow notes into being grow
When the woods turn green again.

The Infamy of Child Labor.

Within plain view Of the South
Carolina capitol building and not more
than a mile away are five large cotton
mills, employing altogether $500 men,
women and children. OF that number
1000 are children between six and II
years of age. Fully 400 of them are
less than ~ years old.
While the South Carolina cotton
mills are paying enormous dividends
on the profits of child labor, a bill to
prohibit the employment OF children
under ~ years of age has just been de-
feated in the house by vote of fifty
four to fifty-two. 1t mad previously
passed the senate by narrow margin,

of the United States senator from that
state, casting the deciding vote in its
favor.

A dispute which may result in a
serious break in the ranks of the

Joiners is now brewing and may break
forth at any time. The seat of war
is now New York, where members Of
the Brotherhood of Carpenters refuse
to work on the same building as men,
bers of the Amalgamated Society of
Carpenters, although both are recog-
nized international organizations. The
buildings where strikes have occurred
are being constructed by the George A.
Fuller company, and the union officials
in New York have tried to extend the
fight to Chicago. The local men re-
fuse to fight the Amalgamated carpen
ters there.

The report of the United States in
dustrial commission. which recon-
mends that uniform laws be passed in
the several states making eight hours
legal working day, has been read
with great deal of satisfaction by the
representatives of organized labor, as
it treats of subject which has been
at the bottom of more agitation and
has been the cause of more strikes
than any other matter in which labor
is interested. 1t is believed that the
report will have considerable weight,
as it has been made after a most ex-
haustive investigation by the indus
trial commission during which the
conditions in all lines of work have
been looked into and made the subject
of an inquiry. The commission is
composed Of laboring men, capitalists,
and employers of labor and is as thor
oughly representative as any such
body could be.
The substance of the report is that,
congress having no power to legislate
directly upon the subject, it is recon-
mended that the several states estab-
lish uniform hours Of labor, and also
specially regulate the hours of en-
ployment of persons between the ages
Of IA and 81. The working day Of all
public employment, the report says,
should be eight hours, in the nope that
it would bring private employment to
the same standard.

Since March, 1866, preference to APP
pointment in the civil service has been
granted to soldiers and sailors dis
charged for disabilities incurred in the
war for the union. The preference bills
now before congress are designed to
extend this preference to all discharged
soldiers of the civil war and the OBJ
jections toFthem are as follows: The
efficiency of the entire civil service
would be lowered, because other con-
siderations than fitness, the very foun-
dation of the whole system, would in
future rule in making appointments,
and because those who would be pre-
ferred by the acts are at the age when
"officers OF the army and navy are re-
tired by law"

The old-style, plain-letter monogram
is being superseded. and the woman
who would be thought artistic and up
to-date in dainty trifies is using the
new monogram somewhat after the
Japanese style. The more subtle the
design the better 1t is liked. The idea
is to have something graceful In out
line, well-balanced in parts. and alto
gether artistic. a monogram perfectly
clear when once deciphered, but
which to the casual observer seems
to be merely pleasing, fanciful sketch
or a symbol rather than a combination
of letters.
