FUNNY NON-UNION MEN.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 19.-Judge Peter
S. Grosscup acted as arbiter on the
wage demands Of the barn and shop
men of the Chicago Union Traction
Company, and decided that their pay
should be equalized, which gives most
of them an inereasee Of 20 per cent, to
become effective next month. Here a
funny thing occurred. The order related
only to union men, Immediately over
five score of non-union men made APP
plication to join the union in order to
get the benefit of what the union men
fought for and won; but they had not
been willing to take any risks them
selves.

IRONWORKERS GO OUT.

New York, N. Y, Nov. -19-President

ISOLATION Of Structural Iron Workers,
has called strike Of the members of
his organization in the employ of the

One Saturday afternoon two Brook

the ferryboat felt Its way into the slip
Mr.. Beecher seemed to be looking on
abstractedIy. As the boat struck the
piling at the side, which creakingly
yielded, Mr.. Beecher's face lighted up.
One Of the men, who knew Mr.. Beech
er's method Of sermoniZlng, remarked
to the other: There VIII be something
about that in tomorrow's sermon. Let
us 20 and see" The men We're In Ilym-
outh church the following morning as
suggested. Sure enough, in the course
OF the sermon NIr. Beecher made some
such reference as this. There are in
every community men who perform
for society the service that yonder pill
ing does in the ferry slip-when they
are struck they gracefully yield, yet
are not quite swept from their position.
They stand for principle, but they tact
fully yield in nonesscntials. Those
buffer souls are valuable members OF
