A STRONG LABOR TOWN.
In Alton Seventy Per Cent of the
Voters Are Trades Unionists.

In Alton Seventy Per Cent of the
Voters Are Trades Unionists.
Alton, ILL.,, in proportion to its size. Is
probably the strongest citadel Of or
ganzed labor in the country.
Out of less than $500 voters $500
are trades unionists. There are thirty
three unions, and twenty-seven of
these were organized by one man who
four years ago moved into the commu-
nifty from st. Louis.
He is Joseph Giles, a printer by trade
and an accredited organizer for the
American Federation Of Labor. 1t Is
while working at his case that he has
found time to make Alton the model
city in industrial organization.
The trades which he has formed into
unions are the bricklayers, the carpen-
ters, the painters, the decorators, the
brewery workers, the bartenders, the
boot and shoe workers, the butchers,
the bakers, the electrical workers, the
hod carriers, the laborers, the mining
tool workers, the plasterers, the plumb
ers, the quarry workers, the retail
clerks, the stone masons, the station
ary engineers, the stationary firemen,
the teamsters, the timers, the clay
workers, the powder mill workers. the
tailors and the unskilled laborers.
While Giles genius for organization
is remarkable, the conditions which
he found in Alton when he went there
were favorable for his undertaking.
There was already union of glass
blowers 500 strong whose national Or
ganization is credited with being the
strongest in the world.
Such successful organization was
in itself calculated to recommend
trades unionism to other workers, and
they readily enough fell into line when
Giles appeared to lead them.
There have been several results from
this wholesale organization of the
town. Better wages, fixed hours for
work and systematic method for set
tling disputes are credited to it. The
difference in earnings has been oil the
way from 10 to so per cent. The small
est wages paid in any branch now IS
the S1.5O for days work of eight
hours on the city streets. Transfers
are getting 50 a day, and carpenters
have scale Of $2.40 a day.
But perhaps the greatest benefit to
the community comes from the affilia-
ton of all the unions in a central
body known as the trades assembly,
which, when any dispute arises. treats
with employers and satisfactorily
averts a strike.

A story of Harriet Bcechcr stowe.

In her childhood Harriet Beecher
Stowe was firmly convinced that the
most daring, reckless and frightful
thing she could do would be to say
damn" She became so possessed and
haunted with the dread of the un-
known terrors that would Overwhelm
little girl who dared to utter that
awful word that at last she could en-
dure the fascination of the terror no
longer, and she went to her room, lock-
ed herself in, climbed into the middle
Of the feather bed, lay still, shut her
eyes, opened her mouth and said the
wicked word. Then, according to her
own account, she lay and waited in an
agony of terror for what was to befall
her. Her least expectation was that
the ceiling would fall down. She wait
ed and waited and waited. Nothing
happened, and at last the monotony Of
the situation tired her, and she got of
the bed very disappointed little mad

ONE YEARS BUTTER OUTPUT
Four Million Dollars Worth Made In South
Dakota.


PIERRE S. D.-The report of State
Dairy Commissioner Sherwood has been is
sued and shows there are 1873 licensed
creameries and ten licensed cheese factor
les in this state. He does not give the
number Of new creameries established the
past year, but says they are few in num-
Der. He places the output Of creamery
butter for the year at 1928, sos pounds, for
which the patrons of the creameries re-
ceived an average price of 171s cents
pound, or an amount exceeding 100000
for the milk from their cows. He has no
figures at hand to show the amount OF
dairy butter produced by the use of sep
arators on farms, but estimates the value
of this to be at least equal to that Of the
creameries, and gives the value Of butter
sold In the state at $4,000, 900 for the year.
The report goes into detail in regard to
the investigation of the commissioner into
the sale of adulterated foods brought into
the state, giving the names Of the brands
of adulterated products, and the firms
producing them.
The state land department has just COM
pleted its estimate of the permanent
school fund which the counties will be
called upon to loan after the first of jan
uary, and the total is $481S 1881, ranging
for the different counties from s23s26 to
Minnehaha county down to $1,000 to Stan
ley county.
The last gas we'll in this city on which
work is yet in progress is showing peculiar
freaks, as compared with former wells.
Those already sunk showed a light flow
bearing a small amount Of gas at about
1000 feet, and at about 800 deeper the
heavy flow with a large amount of gas
has been secured. Under this the drillers
assert they reached granite. In the new
well, which is about a half mile from the
former ones, the first light flow was
reached at the usual depth, but no flow
has been secured since although the drill
is now down over 1900 feet and is work
ing in substance which the drillers be-
live is coal, something never yet found in
the wells here.
