Two Unions Claim Jurisdiction

and claimed jurisdiction over all cab
inet-makers and machine woodwork
ers. The United Brotherhood was or
ganized in 1881, eight years later. The
oodworkers, therefore, claim as they
were first in the field, and as their
claim to jurisdiction over machine
woodworkers was recognized by the
United Brotherhood at its national
convention in 1894 they have a right
to preserve their organization.
The American Federation has rec
ognized the claim of the woodworkers
to machine men and cabinet-makers.
and Endorsed the label Of the organi-
cation. The united Brotherhood has
recently adopted union label Of its
own which it is placing on sash and
doors manufactured in mills where II
has control.

OFF TO SEA ONCE MORE.

Yeo no! Down below! Is your spirit
aglow
with the scud and the spume and the
fret of the sea?
The salt air is keen on your brown cheek.

And the heart in your bosom's a-danc-
Ing with glee!
Then up with the sail to the freshening
gale
And Joy to our sailing-right seamen
are we;
At the first CLEAN of morning we'll laugh
at the warning
OF ths jolly red sun peeping up from
the sea.

said that the national officers of sew.
eral large organizations have already
talked the matter over, and have Sc
lected new man for the head of the
labor movement of the country. The
man generally favored is James Dun
can, first vice president, who. 1t is be-
lieved, is more aggressive than Mr..
Gompers.
1t is not the intention of these lead
ers, they say, to entirely dispose OF
Mr.. Gompers, as they feel he has CIV
en- the best years Of his life to the
movement, and would find it difficult
to do anything else now. They say
he will be provided for as an organ
izer, and they believe that on this I'M
derstanding Duncan will accept the
nomination.

Labor papers In the Northwest re-
port that the Great Northern railway
will replace its JAPANESE workmen
throughout the western states with
European labor, and that the change
will be made as soon as practicable.
The railway company is understood
to have found the work of the brown
men Improbable, and the change Is
in the nature of an experiment. While
the company has not yet brought the
Japanese east it has and does now
employ over 1000 on its line in Mon

Japanese Workmen to Go

tana points arrangements are now be-
ing made, 1t is said, for the accommo-
dalton of 200 Europeans. They will
receive sixteen cents an hour. The
employment of Japanese on the Great
Northern has long been a matter of
annoyance to the different union men
on the system. While the former are
too small for heavy work, they have
done fairly well in lighter work, and
their cost to the company Is said to
have been nominal.

Discovered Colonial Coin.

OtSCOvCTcO SOtouIot SoU'
While moving the old De Lancey
mansion from its original site on
Heathcote Hill, overlooking the
sound, at Mamaroneck, N. Y, recent
ly, P. H. Spader. local builder,
found a copper sixpence of Great
Britain hidden in crevice In the in
terror of the ancient structure, where
1t had remained for many years. The
house was built In 1892, and the date
on the coin is 1897. SO that 1t Is safe
to assume that some member Of the
De Lancey family lost 1t, and that 1t
had continued undisturbed for at
least a century.
The inscription reads, "Georgius
III, D. G., Rex, 1897" His likeness
also appears on the same side. The
sixpence is nearly IS large in circum-
ference as the American silver dol
lar, and it is almost twice as thick.
Since the news of the find has gone
abroad the place is being visited by
Dany relic hunters. The hill Is
noted because it was once the home
of Bishop Delaney of the Protestant
Episcopal church, and later of Arch
bishop Bayley of the Roman Catholic
see of Baltimore.
