"NEIT!r'

At n recent meeting OF the boss hootblacks who
are members OF the New-York Shoe Polishers'
Union steps were taken toward co-operatfon
win the BARRIERS union. In consideration of a
promise by the BARRIERS to employ ony union
bootblacks in their shops, the bosses agreed to
allow only union men to shave them The
polishers union also adopted a union label
by which their work may be DISTINGUISHED
from the scab' product. and declared by reso-
luton its purpose to urge the passage of the
bill which provides for closing Shine" shons
on Sunday at 5 p m. In the alliance the
shine people made a decidedly better bargain
than their friends, and the black dauber beat
the white lather brush. for while the shops of
which there are hundreds. Will employ only union
bootblacks. who the union label and give
such shines in keeping with the rules and
regulations Of the organization the KNIGHTS Of
the razor receive in return only the patronage
OF the boss bootblacks. OF whom there are COM
paratively few.
But the gain to the other Dartv To the
agreement offensive and defensive was not
taken into consideration The point was union
concerted action. harmonious co-operation IF
plumbers and stonecutters, carpenters and cleo
tric1ans combine for mutual protection and the
advancement OF the interests Of organized labor
why should not the sinners Of shoes and the
shavers OF chins do the same? Heretofore q
man had no means Of knowing whether the
"shine" which he received in the BARRIERS shop
was a union or a ''scab' shine and 1t is highly
probable that many allowed their union
made shoes to go unpublished rather than make
the mistake of encouraging non-union labor
But under the operation Of the bootblack- -ba rber
alliance the fact that the shine man or bow Is
permitted 10 carry on business in union shop
is a guarantee Of his regularity" which en-
titles him to the patronage of the shops Gus
toners
The brush boys and the manicures In the
BARRIERS shops have not yet been organized into
unions. but now. since the shine question has
been settled and the non-union bootblack has
been made impossible these will have the at
tention of the organizers. and we may soon look
for the perfect BARRIERS shop

GROCERY TRUST QUITS.
The Venture Was Not a Finan-

est, and Mr. Shurtleff dropped out.
One of the Peoria stores closed last
Saturday and Mr.. McQuad says the
others will close tomorrow nzght. The
closing of the stores in Chicago ana
Galesburg will follow. but the McQuads
will continue the Des Moines and st.
Paul stores.
Mr.. McQuad assigns as a reason for
the closing of the several stores that
the Consolidated Grocers of America
was not a financial success. The stores
were not paying ventures and the COM
pany will go out of existence.

MUCH CONSUMPTION HERE.
Still Kansas Has Less Tuberculosis
Than Other States

The state board of health is pushing
its fight against tuberculosis, and with
this in view it is gathering statistics
concerning the prevalence of the dis
ease in the various counties of the state.
Kansas is far freer from the disease
than most other well populated states.
but still it is one of the principal dis
eases in Kansas.
In the last three months IS of the 105
counties in the state have reported 800
cases of the disease with 131 deaths. 1t
is noticeable that the bulk of them are
along the eastern boundary of the state
in tine more thiclxly populated counties.
Wyandotte county alone reports $50
cases and 36 deaths. The deaths report
ed by other counties are as follows

MOTT A COMPROMISE.
AIaskaa Boundary Decision Was
Based on Vanconver's Charts.

New U ork, Oct. 30.-Former Senator
Turner, q E Washington, member of the
American. boundary tribunal, who has
just retura led, was not willing to discuss
how the al sreement came to be reached,
but it Wali admitted that the decision
on giving he two islands in the Port
land canal to the United States was
based on v aneouver's narrative of his
voyage of exploration The question
hinged ON " neither he had called the
water to the south of the island the
channel or WI ether he ha d gone to- the
north of them 1t was found that he
recorded having gone from the entrance
to a point of la nd above the islands in
a certain time. To do this it was figur-
ed that he entered the broad channel,
followed it up and tl1rne in between
the four islands. This led the commits
sioners to decide that the two islands
lying near the mouth of a-he canal and
opposite Port Simpson belonged to the
United States.
Mr.. Turner admitted Il nat this was
true.
Speaking of the two islas ids he said:
They are of very little value except
from strategical st RndpO mt. believe
that the TranscoHtinen1 al railroad
which is built north of 9he Canadian
Pacific will have Port SirE for its
Pacific terminal. This nh lkes the is
lands of Importance to Can ada.
Touching a report that tn Canadians
charged that Lord AlverstQ ne had been
practically won by kindna IS, the ex-
senator said he did not tn ink such a
thing could be. THE questio to be set
tied said he. was one of fright under
the international law and l ord AlVer-
stone, who is an able jurist.. settled the
case on it's merits"
Mr. Turner regarded it as fortunate
that the commission was able to agree
and he considered it a step forward in
the settlement of all future disputes.
