MEN IN HIGH POSITION.

MEN IN HIGH POSITION. There are men in high position
 Who would bring industrial peace; They are friends of arbitration,
 May their honored tribe increase. There's a man in high position
 Who has fed industrial hate; He has slandered union labor,
 And would scorn to arb1trate-
 He has gratitied his hatred,
 And the common good ignored; If the land has other Parrys
 Iris a fact to be deplored.

Hanlon was present and added materially to the enjoyment of the occasion. One of the striking trolleymen who now has a position on the rear end of an ice wagon, was asked by wealthy citizen, while filling his ice box, if he liked juggling ice better than juggling nickels Under present conditions, Ees," was the prompt reply.

 The next holiday is Labor day, Mon day. September 7. What will Water bury unionists do on that day? is a question often asked. If things con- tinue as at present they will probably go out of town the same as they did on the Fourth, though there are some who favor giving parade in the morn ing. with appropriate exercises at City hall or one of the theaters later on.
 The automobile run by the striking trolleymen has certainly been up against it'' of late, the latest misfor- tune being the breaking of an axle i. While awaiting the arrival of new one the machine has been given thor ough overhauling and Chaffeur Hayes now ayers that further accidents are close to impossible.
 The story in circulation Thursday morning that another striker had re turned to work for the trolley company proved to have about the same founda- ton as numerous other startling ru- mors, originating no one knows where. One of the strikers remarked: If you see it in the strikers statement it's so, but don't take any stock in these canards that you hear elsewhere"
 '@Through the union of employers the conditions are changing rapidly for the trade-unions Great strikes " a irnpracticably costly, and the more perfect the organization on both sides the more conservative the spirit in which discussions will be conducted, ; is the way one newspaper comments on the movement to organize employ erS' associations.
 Laboring people should not forget the meeting of the Economic league at Con gross hall at p. m. tomorrow.
