To Honor John Mitchell.

A movement has been started among
the coal miners to set apart one day
of the year for recreation and speech
making in honor of their national
president, John Mitchell. There is
no doubt that Mitchell deserves great
credit for his generalship as head of
the miners organization. In a short
time he has succeeded in building up a
healthy, prosperous and peaceful Or
ganization out Of an overworked, dis
contented, unorganized people. Mitch
ellis modesty prevents him from TAX
ing any credit for the present condi-
tons of the miners. He says that the
men themselves are responsible for
their present condition, but the miners
know that it was his wisdom on meth
DDS of organization that raised their
association to the high standard it oc-
cupies among the operators and gen.
eral public.

Seven thousand freight hustlers"
employed by railroad companies in
Chicago are to be organized. A COM
mittee Of the workmen requested
President James H. Bowman of the
Chicago Federation of Labor to I'M
dertake the work, and he detailed
Chairman John Fitzpatrick Of the
organization committee to start the
Freight Handlers union.
The Chicago "hustlers' were aroused
by the strike of their fellow workmen
in Boston and what they consider
their unsatisfactory pay for long hours
Of labor. Circulars have been sent to
them, and 1t is expected that a meet
ing will be called early next week.
The freight handlers, it is said, are
not so well off as the section hands.
Their pay ranges from $1.25 to $1.50
day, often uncertain in length. but
always longer than ten hours. When
they are organized they will affiliate
with the Chicago Federation of Labor.

Leaders of organized labor claim a
big victory in favorable report re-
ceived from the House committee on
judiciary on the Grosvenor bill to limit
the meaning of the word conspiracy
and the use of restraining orders and
injunctions in certain cases.
The bill provides that no agreement,
combination or contract to do or to
procure to be done, or not to do or pro-
cure to be done, any act on contempla-
ton or furtherance Of any trade dis
pute between employers or employees
shall be deemed criminal, nor shall
those engaged therein be indictable for
the crimes of conspiracy, if such act
committed by one person would not be
punishable as a crime, nor shall such
agreement, combination or contract be
considered as in restraint Of trade or
commerce, nor shall any restraining
order or injunction be issued with re-
lation thereto.
If enacted into law the bill, in the
opinion of labor leaders, will vastly
strengthen organized labor and stop
the abuse of injunction and restraining
proceedings. 1t gives trade organiza-
tons the right to do whatever an in
dividual may do under the law.

Steel Workers Stirred Up.

Rumors are again rife that new
national union of iron and steel work
ers is about to be formed, and that
organizers of the Steel Workers AS
ISOLATION of America, when is the
name of the new body, are gathering
recruits in the Ohio, Indiana and IL
linois field The organization, 1t is
said, had its origin in the detection
of the South Chicago and Milwaukee
steel workers from the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
during the steel strike last summer.
At that time the steel workers in these
two cities refused to obey the order
of President Shaffer to go on strike,
contending that they had made wage
scale and agreements with their en-
ployers previous to the PRONUNCIATION
of that order, and no provisions were
made in it for sympathetic 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 of these lodges and
others which objected to the strike.
None of the lodges which refused to
go on strike when ordered will be al
lowed representation in the convention
of the steel workers which meets in
Wheeling, w. Va. in May.

ed bands Of satin, silk or velvet are
seen for trimming. Many light cloth
gowns have Persian or oriental trim
mings in bands, medallions or some
fanciful design. Skirts, while trimmed,
will not be so elaborate as they have
been the last two seasons. Triple and
double skirts are to be worn, the triple
part sometimes coming only from sides
and back, the front breadth outlined
with applique lace Of some kind. Span

length coats are worn, Tut the tendency
for spring is more toward short jackets

Tho Girl of Yesterday.


Her hands are wrinkled and palsied
And her brow is decked with gray,
And we see no trace in the careworn face
or the girl of yesterday;
But she dreams as her sun Is setting
OF the joys of time she knew
And her hopes and fears and her smiles
and tears
Pass by in long review.
She sits in her lifes long winter
And waits for the coming spring,
And the tears arise in her dim old eyes
AS she toys with wedding ring;
And she sees in the open fire
The bride of the long ago,
And the glad strains roll from the Or
gan's soul
To an echo, sweet and low.
All! you who would be forgetting,
Gaze now on this wrinkled face
That once was fair as the silken hair
That lent it youthful grace
You live in the glad tomorrow.
But your debt is heavy to pay;
Let your homage fall to the queen OF
them all
To the girl of yesterday.

wall below the picture molding and a
dainty Powered canopy in a cretonne
paper of trailing roses above, cut out
carefully irregular sprays, one or two

to the wall just under the molding as

The order has gone forth from every
camp in the San Juan, Colo, country
that the Chinese must go, and go
quickly.
Chinese have crossed over into Sill
verton, Ouray, Durango and Leadville.
where their attitude has paralyzed the
Western Labor union, which controls
politics in this quarter Such condi-
ton has never been seen before, for
the wish of the union has been the
law of the mountain country.
Gov. Orman has been approached
for protection by representatives of
the Chinese, but his invariable reply
was that the subject was one for the
sheriff of Ouray county. Vincent st.
John is the sheriff. He is also presi-

gram from Secretary of State Hay to
the effect that the Chinese minister

The Modish Waistline.

No longer is it the end and aim Of
the ''elegante" to possess tiny waist,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger
That, of a truth, is sadly out Of
keeping with the straightforward ap-
pearance one and all are craving to
present Nevertheless, now, perhaps
more than ever, is perfectly neat
and natty waist line an indispensable
part of a perfect whole. And to meet
this necessity waist belts are offering
themselves in most persuasive guise.
Sashes are very much in evidence,
fashioned of soft silk, crepe de chine,
chiffon or net.

Newest Gowns Not Snowy.

The newest gowns are not SNOWY
The cut is so perfect that with little
trouble they can be altered to fit any
one with me usual figure. The skirts
are not showing quite so much flare
as earlier in the season, and 1t is the
sleeve-still the sleeve-which is the
principal point of departure. 1t is the
elbow sleeve, the Du Barr sleeve, the
Grecian sleeve the Marie Antoinette
sleeve-call it by whatever name you
will-still it is the sleeve that makes
the gown this spring.
Where there is trimming on the skirt
1t is generally about the foot, where
are oIten seen wide insertions of lace
or rope hemstitching, formed with
rows or ribbon.

spondent referred to has to say Of one
particular district.
ITO the Editor OF the Leader-The
rush of tire land seekers will be to the
prairie provinces of the Dominion Of
Canada. The allurements Of soil that
yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre
are too great to be resisted and an
immense migration from this country
may be confidently predicted. People
here laughed at first at the idea Of
any one leaving the United States for
Canada, but the Dominion authorities
knew they had a good thing and they
stuck to it. Their officials evidently
knew the value Of printers ink. They
spared no expense in letting the people
of this country know that these lands
were there and that they were exactly
as represented. They did more. They
and samples OF the grain. We have
had them here at four consecutive
street fairs, presided over by one Of
their ablest immigration officers. This
gentleman spared no pains. He ex-
planned the value of the lands and the
richness of the soil from morning to
night to all corners.
"All this told in TIE long run. Sew
eral went up from here to spy out the
land and Ike Caleb. the son Of Je-
punneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
brought back good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in a
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon
farms there, and others are preparing
to follow. OF course many will appear
shocked at the idea Of any enc leaving
the stars and stripes for the Union
Jack, but patriotism is but a nomen-
clature after all, and our experience
has been that in nine hundred and
ninety-nine cases out Of thousand a
man is the most patriotic where he can
make the most money and do the
most harm to those whom he hates"

The home of the French working
man is necessarily very modest
abode. Rent in Paris and all the larger
cities is very high and hence the work.
ingman limits his home to two or four
rooms at most. He does not dare ex-
coed the 5OO-franc limit of rent an
nually, as whatever is beyond is sub
ject to municipal taxation. In the
northern parts of France philanthropic
manufacturers have built hundreds of
cottages, initiating English and Ameri-
can examples; but the buildings are
poor. cold and absolutely destitute of
sanitation. In Paris, as in the country,
sanitary arrangements OF all sorts are
almost entirely lacking.
