 W. D. MahoIa in a>recent address be- fore 8, western Central Labor union said: "Yes, you are busy; your work is important. know of no more i'm portant organization than the Central | commerce, the board of trade of the toilers of this city, and in my opinion your work Is Of more importance to the true business interests of the com munity than the chamber of commerce or board of trade, for if any organiza- tion stands for the true business in terests of community it is the trade and labor union, for, remember this, that the business interests of com- muntty rest upon the consuming pow CT of the people, not upon production, and the business question of the hour is consumption. Now, the consuming ng power of the great mass of the peo- pie rests upon the wage they receive. Your organization stands for the high CT wage, and is therefore strictly iR the interest of the community. All your legislation, in fact, is in the in- terest of humanity. As an organiza- tion you can afford to compare your records with any other organization on earth, let them come from where they may"

A we'll known labor advocate. and one who was fully conversant with all the details of the late trolley strike, as we'll as the terms agreed upon for its settlement remarked today: -Four weeks will have elasped, tomorrow since the trolley strike was settled; the question IS being asked on all sides why it is that the company is not liv- ing up to an agreement which led to the settlement? So far the company has not carried out their side of the agreement. The essential question is not answered at all. The strikers have won a truce. Perhaps a truce is vic tory. But the best truce is only a temporary triumph. The strike came asking a question. The strike was a question. That question was not an fight That was their victory. It may be a courier. It may be a fore taste. It may be a promise. But vic tory is something different and farther ahead. Do you think the company re- ahead for enduring lovers of a noble cause. I say lovers because only low CTS can meet the issue. The strike | stopped to recuperate, and the strikers will review the policies and will per haps resort to new devices. But the company will have to meet them again and again, unless they carry out the promise which led up to the truce. It is to be hoped that the general man. ager will carry out to the letter the terms of the agreement, and thus per petuate a continuance Of a better feel ing between the company and its en- ployes than at any time heretofore ex- isted.'

In accordance with the instructions and plans outlined by the New Or leans convention of the American Fed eration of Labor the Journeyme Plumbers, Gas Filters, Steam Filters, Steam Filters Helpers International Organization, and the organization known as esNationa1 Association of Steam and Hot Water Filters, has been again united, and they are all un- der the Jurisdiction of the parent or ganization, the Journeymen Plumbers International, and thereafter there will be but one organization, which means that the dispute that has heretofore prevailed we'll be no more, and that the men engaged in this occupation will be united in solid organization looking to the improvement of their conditions instead of contesting and scrapping with one another. This is good. There are a number of other organizations of this kind which should be united. We congratulate the Arbitra tion Board that consoli- dated these organizations, as we'll the Executive committee of the American Federation of Labor for their rulings in the matter. May the good work continue until all trade disputes in the country are so adjusted and the war ring organizations united.-Motorman and Conductor

AGREEMENT VIOLATED.
Amaigamated Association May Tie Up
Sheet Steel Plants.

Pttsburg. Oct. 5.-Unless the diff
ference at the New Philadelphia plant
of the American Sheet Steel company
is adjusted within forty eight hours a
general strike at all the union works
of that company is threatened by the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers.
1t is alleged that the American
Sheet Steel company has violated the
agreement at these works in remoy-
ing the limit of output.
The fight, it Is said. will be de-
termined one and 1t is given out that
the strike will not be confined TO the
one plant but to all union mills oper-
ated by the American Sheet Steel
company. The matter will promptly
be taken up by the advisory board and
it is understood that this body will
authorize the enforcement of section
% of article II. which reads:
Should one mill in a combine or
trust have difficulty all mills In said
combine or trust shall cease work un-
til such grievance is settled"
The big steel strike of 1901 was
brought about by the enforcement of
this law

DEMAND FOR CHEAP WATER.
Action Of Chicago Suburbs Arouses
City Fathers.

Chicago, Oct 5.-Chicago's city
council is preparing to attack the
validity of the act creating Chicago's
$40,000000 drainage canal The H.
nance committee of the council has
formally advised Corporation Counsel
Tolman to bring an action In the su-
preme court of the state next week.
A threatened depletion of the citys
water fund, with a possible deficit, is
the moving force behind the aldermen,
and the act of the last legislature,
by which the suburb of Cicero was
added to the sanitary district. has
caused the trouble.
By the provisions of that act Chi
cago will be required to furnish the
residents of Cicero water at cents
per 1000 gallons, while its own citi-
zens pay 10 cents.
The aldermen say it would mean
the expense of S250,000 to extend the
mains and 100000 to erect a new
pumping station and that water would
be supplied at less than cost.
Should the city comply with this act
II is said other county towns could
demand the same concession award
ed Cicero. This, the aldermen say,
would be ruinous

EXPLOSION IN PEORIA ULL.) DIS.
TIlLERY BADLY DAMAGES
MAIN BUILDING.
EMPLOYEES BURIED IN THE WSECkAGE
FOUR TAKEN OUT DEAD OR FA
TALLY INJURED AND SEW
ERAL MISSING.

Peoria, H., Oct 5.--One of the I'M
mense cookers in the Corning Dis
tilling company's plant exploded dur
ing the morning, killing several of the
employees, manning many more and
wrecking the main building. The
wreckage did not take fire and the
fremen who had been summoned as.
sisted the distillery employees who
had escaped in the rescue of their less
fortunate fellow workmen.
The cooker Is steel contrivance
about twenty feet in diameter used
in cooking the mashes. 1t is pre-
sumed a vacuum was formed and
when the steam was turned on to cook
the days mash the explosion followed.
The cooker was hurled through the
north wall of the four-story structure
a distance of $50 feet. The entire
north wall Of the distillery was blown
down. the south and east walls were
badly damaged and the wreckage was
scattered all over the neighborhood
The distillery owners estimate their
loss at $4,000.
Thousands of persons quickly gath
cred at the scene to assist in the work
of rescue. James McManus, an EN-
ploye of the cooker room, was first
rescued from the wreck. He was dead,
having been instantly killed. James
O'Keefe was still alive when rescued
but died soon after his removal TO the
cottage hospital. He had been scald-
ed by steam. Neil Powell, the assistant
engineer of the cooker room. was
dead when taken out. George Schaef-
fer, a boy sixteen years old, was alive
when taken out but died on the way
to the hospital. He was scalded. Ow-
ing to the wreck the search for the
bodies is difficult. Several employees
are still missing and it is feared they
will be taken out dead.

WAITING FOR THE DYNAMlTERs.
Northern Pacific Line in Montana
Heavily Guarded.

Helena, Mont. Oct. 5.-The Wig,
lance of the men employed by the
Northern Pacific railroad to patrol
its right of way in Montana has had
the effect of stopping, at least for a
time, the work of those who are try
ing to blackmail the company. Spe-
cial men are patrolling the track, all
section men are on the watch, and
night and day every foot of the line Is
guarded.
few days ago a section man who
was going over the line ahead of a
Marysyille train found on the track
near a bridge a stick of dynamite with
small fuse attached. A day or two
before there was found on the Butte
and Logan cutoff a can containing
what was supposed to be nitroglycerin.
Early in the week the largest find OF
all was made. A section man found
at one end of Mullen tunnel large
quantity of dynamite, caps and fuse.

EARNINGS MUCH LARGER.
Reports of Railroads as Compared
With Last Year.

New York, Oct. 5.-Gross railroad
earnings repo1ed by fifty-two COM
panies for the first week of September
increased $925.293, or 1921 per cent,
over the figures of the same week of
1902, to $9,992,740; for the second
week the increase was $966,974, or
1137 per cent, to $40 ,505.3 1889; for the
third week the increase was $728,4l5,
or $50 per cent, to 50 9.204.356; from
July | to Sept 21 the increase was
s11.371.SG6, or 1921 per cent, to $l04
511,054.
Increased operating expenses, large
ly as the result of advances in wages
conceded during the past year, are
prominent feature of recent railroad
reports, but it is not to be denied that
there is a very satisfactory increase
in the ret returns.

CAR SHORTAGE THREATENED
Railroads Unable to Accept All Traffic
Offered.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The railroads OF
the entire country are face to face
with what promises to be the greatest
car shortage in their history. Despite
the fact that most liberal orders for
new equipment have been given by all
railroads during the last twelve
months they now find themselves un-
able to accept all the traffic that is
offered.
This condition of affairs is outlined
by Vice President Brown of the Lake
Shore, who says that the company is
in urgent need of 800 box cars daily.
On other systems with much great
er mileage than the Lake Shore larger
numbers of cars are needed for imme-
date use
