A Point nm Shirt Waiata.

A point concerning shirt waists
which is very definite just now. is that
to be smart they must be belted with
a similar color. A soft white linen
belt, stitched along each edge and
washable as often as occasion requires
will be necessary adjunct to the
summer girls wardrobe Removable
buckles may be used, or the belt may
he gathered and pinned with one Of
the round pins whose uses are legion.
These belts may be made Of any ma
terial, but special touch of COM
pleteness is given when they are Of
the same material as the waist with
which they are worn. With white
linen stock stitched with band Of
the shirt waist color, and belt Of
the same material as the waist, the
simplest outfit will look chic and
modish.

A Successful, Labor Organizer.

Michael Donnelly, president of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen Of North America,
is one Of the most successful labor Or
ganizers in the country. About two
years ago Mr.. Donnelly went to Chi
cago from Omaha and tried to organize
a union of butchers in the stockyards.
After several weeks work he gave up
in despair, as the men remembered the
disastrous dispute In 1886. He returned
to make another effort in June, 1900,
and succeeded in launching union OF
cattle butchers with IA charter mem
bers. He worked quietly without the
knowledge of the packing firms, and
to-day there is not single non-union
butcher In the stock yards. Cattle
Butchers Union No. 81 has SOS mem

there are Sheep Butchers Union No.

Rumors are rife that new national
union of iron and steel workers is to
be formed, and that organizers Of the
Steel Workers Association of America,
which is the name of the new body,
are gathering recruits in the Ohio, In
diana and Illinois field. The organiza-
ton, 1t is said, has its origin in the de-
lection of the South Chicago and Mil
waukee steel workers from the Anal
gamated Association OF. Iron and Steel
Workers during the steel strike last
summer. At that time the steel work.
ers in these two cities refused to obey
the order Of President Shaffer to go on
strike, contending that they had made
O wage scale and agreements with
their employers previous to the pro-
mitigation of that order, and no pro-
visions were made in it for sympa-
thetic strike.
Unions of steel workers in South
Chicago and Milwaukee have been kept
intact, and it is now proposed to build
up a national organization from the
members or these lodges and others
which objected to the strike. None of
the lodges which refused to go on
strike when ordered will be allowed
representation in the convention Of
the steel workers which meets in
Wheeling, W. Va. in May.

President Joseph w. Morton of the
International Brotherhood Of Station
airy Firemen, has submitted to the ex-
ecutive board of that organization q
proposition for organizing the colored
workmen in the south. The racial pre-
JUDGE, which is strong in the south,
has hitherto prevented the white and
colored workmen from fraternizing in
one local union, and the laws of the
organization forbid the granting of
charters to more than one local union
In any city except. by special dispensa-
ton. This has barred out the colored
workman to great extent, and Mr..
Morton says applications are now in
the national Office for fifteen charters
for colored unions in the south. He
proposes to have the constitution
changed so that each city in the south
may be granted two charters, one for
the white men and one for the colored
workmen.

Women should sleep More.

A physician who is a specialist in
nervous diseases say that women
should sleep at least nine hours
at night and one in the daytime, says
the New England Farmer. A woman
will plead that she hasn't time to lie
down for a few minutes in the day
time, and she will infringe upon the
hours Of night, which should be given
to sound. healthy, needed sleep, in Or
der to finish some piece of work which
could as we'll be completed on the NOR
row. She will rush and hurry all day
long, and then when the household is
hushed in slumber at night she will
sit tGAread the daily paper, thinking
she ~ not have to pay for the time
she rs stealing from the health-giving
sleep that comes before midnight.

Dress Accessories.

"Trihes" are of more Importance
than women sometimes think, for a
very ordinary dress may often acquire
an elegance which 1t has not, by q
well-chosen, pretty detail, be it only
q waist belt. Gloves and boots cannot
be called details; they are necessaries,
and cannot be too good In every re-
spect. Details mean collars, ties, belts,
veils-everything, in fact, which is not
of the dress, but which forms the tout
ensemble of perfect toilet. The very
purse in her hand, the chain around
her neck, the combs in her hair, pro-
claim the taste of the woman. In col
lars the latest is Of embroidered lawn
or lace over an under collar Of black
silk. Another model Is a high band
of black velvet with strass or jet
band in the center and sailor knot
at the back. Transparent collars are
threaded with the narrowest black vel
vet ribbon, as also are the lace yokes
and fronts of some blouses.

Shirt waist Material.

Madras, ducks, linens, percales. sill
ginghams, silk and mercerized cham.
brays all will be made up in shirt
waists. The new figured piques and
ducks are very fine and soft as 9
glove. White laced lawns are more
beautiful than ever and may be found
in numerous designs. Linen colored
batistes seem to grow handsomer with
each addition to the stock and make
up prettily in separate waists. The
shirt waist suit will be popular and
may be made up in the same materials
as the waists.

TO OPEN UTAH RESERVATION.

Senate Committee Under an Agreement
Recommends Opening Oct. 1, 1908.
WASHINGTON. = Especially The
senate committee on Indian affairs has
adopted an amendment to the Indian
appropriations bill in accordance with
an understanding with the president
and the interior department to open
the Utah reservation in October /,
1903. The reservation includes about
100000 acres. There will be about
1v,vvU homesteads, exclusive of TIM
Der and important mineral entries.
The latter have long been matteds of
dispute and have caused much irrita.
ton and trouble.
One reason assigned for the decision
to open the reservation to settlement
is the fact that the government has
never been able to prevent a mo-
nopoly Of an output of the rich asphalt
land in the reservation. The lands
will probably be opened through the
medium Of drawing, such as was
employed in opening the Kiowa amt
Comanche reservation.

From the club Woman.

To the woman who would be indi-
vidual, who wants to be an inspiration
and a beneficence, there Is but one
message: Be not afraid Of yourself;
get acquainted with the deeps Of your
own nature; face the shortcomings OF
your own spirit. Go into the open
country alone if you can; If not, take
little time out of every twenty-four
hours to think. Just as the obser-
vance Of the Sabbath is a wise thing
from physiological standpoint, SO are
self-communion and its breathing
spaces blessing to the individual.

the building trades in 1900, is about to
pass into oblivion. During the past
week seventy-fve of its members have
joined the regular organization. and as
it only claimed a membership OF
eighty, the officials Of the regular
union say there are not enough men
left to fill the Offices. The contractors
have abandoned the men whom they
organized to help them out when they
were in trouble, and the moral is
plain. When the trouble is over en-
ployers never stand by the men who
take the places of strikers, but take
back the old men.

aggregate wages received was about

Trade JurIsdlction.


Disputes over trade Jurisdiction have
broken out in a new direction. Now II
is the International Association of>Ma-
chinists and the United Metal Work
ers' International Union that are &C
cusing each other of encroaching on
the others territory. The dispute IN
Chicago was referred to the grievance
committee of the Building Material
Trades council, with which both unions
are affiliated. That committee has held
a meeting to consider the question, put
concluded to pass 1t back to the unions
involved, with the recommendation
that representatives from each SIDE
meet and define the work which they
claim. The machinists are also having
trouble with the Elevator Constructors
union over the right to erect elevator
machinery in building. The macnin-
lists say that as they make the macnln-
cry in the shops they are the ones TO
set it up, and the elevator constructors
reply that the machinist has no more
right to set up his product on Duiid-
ing than a brickmaker would have to
come out of the yard and lay brick.
The whole vexing problem shows the
necessity of having sections IN the
central bodies where trades closely al
lied in the nature Of their work could
define their jurisdiction and settle In
ternal troubles without inconvenience
ing owners and builders who are not
responsible.
