Mission of Trade Unious.

The future of the trade unions de- bends greatly on the attitude of the rank and file of the membership of the organizations. Throughout the great system of trades unionism there is a sentiment looking to the broadening out of the usefulness of the labor un- ion.
 This can be accomplished only by broadening the range of knowledge of the individual membership. Already we see the development of this idea in the discussion of great economic ques- tions, and closer attention to the state legislative bodies.
 A few years ago it was an easy mat ter to get piece of reckless legisla- ton through congress or state legisla- lures with no great protest from the people Things are different now, and each year it becomes more difficult to hoodwink the people as to the charac- ter of legislation being enacted by our lawmakers.
 More pernicious legislation has been held up by the labor unions than from any other cause, which proves that >tfades unionism has another and great CT mission than organizing strikes and maintaining boycotts, notwithstanding the opinions of some of the editors of the daily papers.
 While this statement is true, it is no less true that there are not enough stu dents in our organizations Working men do not take the interest in the la bor union which the movement de serves. Our membership do not study the interests of organized labor as they should In fact we have not enough readers among trades unionism to make the progress which the move ment merits.
 Still there is a steady gain in the thoughtfulness of our membership The seed has been cast which is to bear fruit in making the power Of or.

Anything that is original and fantastic-turned wood, beaten cop- per, pyro-etched wood, brass-goes, provided 1t is whimsical enough, &C., cording to the upholsterers. One of these new candlesticks, for instance, shows a row of candles inclosed in a. rack. The light is screened and re- aected by a lot of coarse, heavy pieces of mica suspended in front of the row. The arts and crafts movement is re- sDonsible for many of these vagaries.

TrolleyInen Happy.

The employees of the Coney Island &, Brooklyn Railay Go and of the Van Brant Street & Erie Basin Railway Go, who are members of division No 2S3, Amalgamated Street Railway Elm ployes' association of America, are comparatively happy now in the enjoyment of an agreement with the two companies providing for a ten hour workday within twelve consecu- tive hours, 25 pcents per hour and con- ciliation for all disputes that may oc- cur between now and July, 1904. h. ternational Treasurer Orr, who work ed with the local committee in negoti- ating these contracts, said: we were all very much pleased with the manner in which the officials of these two railway companies met and dealt with the labor representatives I have seldom seen such courteous managers of street railroad interests. They said they had no objection to labor unions and were always ready to receive com mittees from Division No 2S3."

ITS MOTTO EXCELSIOR. /
And The Mercury ill the Tube Climbs
 Higher and Higher

And The Mercury in the Tube Climbs Higher and Higher.
 The man whose sole aim, object and ambition in life is to ask, ''Is it hot enough for you?" had expected to take an early vacation this year, as the recent rains didn't give him chance to do much business. However, the weather clerk has caused him to change his plans, the last few days having kept the man with the chronic inquiry pretty busy. Each day seems anxious to go the day before a little better and it does it, too. Yesterday the mercury was on the jump all day, the mark at d. m. being 80 degrees, while at 10 o'clock it had risen to S7. It was two degrees higher at noonland at 3 p. m. tse mercury had mounted to 91. It quieted down q little in the evening, the ' o'clock mark being S6 degrees. The advent of the hot wealth CT causes the streets to be thronged evenings by those who are trying to find the whereabouts of a breeze. The search is often in vain. The gentle sex do their best to dress for the weather, all wearing white, the maid en, widow, grass widow and grand mother.
 This weather levels all ranks. Many women appear on the streets without the hats which have cost t.Neir hus- bands months salary. Young men are seen with their best girls on one arm and their coats on the other. Soft drinks are called for by all but the Kentucky men who happen to be within our borders The torrid spell cannot kill off the manipulator of the street piano, who is with us always. One of these relatives of Paderewski was seen on one of the hottest nights of this hot week who had the temer- ity to add to the natural discomfort of the night by rendering ''In the Good Old Summertime" He was a brave man, because he was without police protection while playing. Water is heated by the sun, though a small girl who had doubtless been condemned to take bath. was heard to say to a playmate, Maybe I'll be back, if the ! water isn't hot" Last, but not least must be mentioned those carnivorous l insects, the mosquitoes that are still evading the clutches of the Law and Order league and drinking after hours. | They are on every hand in fact you find them on both hands and while you are killing those on one hand, reinforce ments attack the other hand and it isn't easy to obey the scriptural in junction to keep one hand in the dark as to what the other hand does, for each knows that the other has the same job.-Hartford Courant.

ganized labor felt in this land outside the mere fact of winning strikes
 The influence of the labor union is destined in 9 certain degree to mold the legislation of this country and with few more years progress along this line, we may hope to see a better class of legislation in the interest of the peo- pie as result of this influence.
 The labor union has mission be- yond the hope of its most earnest ad- vocates; and slowly but surely is the way being paved for fulfillment of this mission.-Kansas City Labor Re cord

TALE OF A TERRIBLE FEuD.
There Was a Fine Chance for g Mix Up, But the Principals Were
 Not Scrappers.

The following outline of a novelette,, taken from The Handbook of Plots; pr, Every Man His Own Novelist" is said to be founded on fact, writes FL iott Flower, in Brooklyn Eagle.
 I.
 The first young man had married the first young woman, and all society said it was great match.
 II.
 The first young man introduced the second young man (his friend) to the first young woman (his wife), and they were most gracious, each to the other. 1t was even noticed by mutual friends and commented on by them.
 The comments came to the ears of the first young man, and he said: Aha! watch my smoke!' or something of similar import. The public said: .Oho! Look out for fun!'' and there was scandal of large proportions.
 ". The first young man, after making sundry and divers threats, felt it in- cumbent upon himself to do some thing, so he indited a challenge to the second young man, which was totally ignored by the aforesaid second young man, who held that if any fighting were to be done it should have been done several months. before. There was some talk about honor, and the public wondered what it had to do with the case.
 V.
 The first young man posted" the second young man as coward, and the second young man retorted (through a third or fourth party) that the affair had gone far enough and that there would be trouble the first time they met. The first young man had no right to demand reparation, the account being outlawed by statutory limitations, but he could have trouble if he wanted it.
 VI
 The first young man retorted in kind, announcing that he could be found in the reading room of the club whenever wanted. h., s. .e% The second young man went to the
  warned that the first young man was there, and the club members waited oreathiessly for the outcome VIII.
 The two young men were in the room together and alone, and the club members and all others appraised of the fact continued to wait brea thlessly for the outcome. Fs. One of the young men finally saun- tered out, and in reply to anxious queries, said: Why, deah boy, of course I didn't speak to the cad, ye know."
 The other young man came out and said: "The fellah was beneath my mo- tice. didn't say aword to him, don't t you see?'

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 arbitrate. He has gratitied his hatred, And the common good ignored; If the land has other Parrys Iris a fact to be deplored.

 The fact that firm sells goods bear ing the union label when he has no
 authority to use it constitutes fraudu- lent use of that emblem. That Is the
 gist of a decision rendered by the judge of the second district court, sit ting at Newark, N. J., few days ago.
 The suit was brought at the instance of the International Typographlcal
 union, through the Allied Printing Trades Council of Newark, against the Baker Printing company, also of that city According to the testimony, the Baker company last fall furnished the republican county committee with 15O 900 pastors bearing the label. The judge said the Baker firm violated the law in cutting, handling and deliver ering tf e pastors after they had been printed in a fair office, and entered Judgment for $2O0, the amount asked J. J. Dirks, a well-known labor writer, in a recent article on "The Union Man in Politics." says among other things: Tt is one of the funda- mental principles of labor unions to strictly eschew the discussion of poli- tics in their meetings and the taking of political action as body. And right here is where they have been
 wrong. This very circumstance makes l it the more difficult for organized labor to secure justice from the politicians
 and lawmakers. The parties have come to regard the membership of la-
 bor unions. while firm and unyielding on questions relating to their work, easily controlled and pliable in voting. This Is not because the workingman lacks independence, but because he l lacks political organization. Given political organization in the same de gree as he possesses industrial organ | iZation and he would rule the world" "
 Here is food for thought, and aTl know l it is true. When portion Of the mem bers of a labor organization are work | ing for one candidate and as many l more doing their utmost for his op- ponent, it is pretty certain that some one Is working against his own inter
 ests; and this is something often seen
 right here in Waterbury.
