ment, J: H. Carver had been more sue
cessful in this work than any other
man ever put in the field, and he arm
estly recommended his reappointment.
President Neary's remarks met with
hearty concurrence, and by a unan1-
nous vote Mr.. Carver was reappointed
state organizer for the ensuing year.
and his compensation fixed at a figure
commensurate with his valuable SER
vices and duties.
President Neary suggested that the
organizer be required to make weekly
reports to the Federation Council, but
the members of the Council were salts
fled to have Mr.. Carver report direct to
President Neary himself, as the latter
would undoubtedly be present at the
meetings OF the Council and could then
advise the Council as to the progress
Of organization throughout the state.
The secretary was directed to pur-
chase the necessary mileage, so that
the organizer could visit the smaller
towns, where the strongest efforts will
be made for organization.
The strike of the Twin City tele-
phone girls, a matter which was re-
ferred to the Council by the State
Federation of Labor, was then taken
up. Delegate John Rogan, of the Min
neaPolis Trades and Labor Council.
stated that 1000 circulars had been is
sued in Minneapolis, asking business
men to cease using Twin City tele-
phones until the grievances Of the
telephone girls had been redressed.
Mr. Rogan stated that the fight had
now reached such proportions and such
Importance that it was no. longer a
contest simply between the telephone
girls and the telephone company. The
Trades and Labor Council had es-
poused the cause Of the girls, and it
was now a struggle between the tele-
phone company and every trades union
in that city. On motion the following
committee was designated to act in
conjunction with a similar committee
of the Minneapolis Trades and Labor
Council: T. J. Hamlin, c. E. James
and J. Bohan. On motion the secre-
tary was directed to communicate with
President Moulton and General Man
,ager Webster and ascertain when they
would meet the joint committee to dis
cuss the matter.
The next matter to come up before
the Federation Council was the LOCKOUT
of the stonequarrymen, delegation OF
whome We're present, After recita-
ton Of the causes which had led to the
strike, and review of the steps sub
sequently taken to ajust the differences
between them and the quarry owners,
the stonequarrymen submitted to the
matter to the Federation Council lin the
hopes that the body would devise means
to terminate the lockout. They had
made no unreasonable demands. They
had simply asked for. a nine-hour day
at 271z1| cents an hour. On motion the
following committee was named to as

A Big UNION HAS
BEEN EXPELLED
Steamfitters Lose Their Connection
With the American Federation
Of Labor.

After a prosperous existence of over
ten years, The National Association Of
Steamfitters lost it's standing in the
American Federation of Labor because
It refused to amalgamate with the
United Association Of plumbers.
For years the steamfitters have been
building up strong union: against the
wishes of the plumbers, who claimed
Jurisdiction over that line of work. The
question which organization should live
came up before the annual convention
of the American Federation at New
Orleans, which in turn left it to arbi-
tration.
Early this spring both unions submit
ted their case to Frank l.. Rist,. who
recommended that there be an amalga-
nation. His decision was declared un-
just by the steamfitters, who allaged
that it was based on evidence that was
not submitted to him according to the
laws OF thes . g. e.
resident ssoinl,e zEaaccented
amalgamate by June 16: At heirS recent
convention the steamfi tiers refused IS
do as ordred, asking that they be given
a hearing before the American Federa-
ton Of Labor at it's mkt convention.
They decided further to maintain their
organization and refuse to give it up
unless absolutely necessary.

SAW STEEL BARS.
Three Prisoners Charged With
Murder Make Their Escape.
viii Morrison, of Elmo, Christian
County, One of the Men at
Large.

BY saving their way through
steel locks and bars, Murray Pet
way, William Morrison and Arthur
Stiles escaped from the Davidson
County, Tenn, jail, in Nashville,
some time Wednesday night or
early Thursday morning. The
startling discovery that the prison
ers, all of whom we're charged with
murder, had escaped was made by
Jailer J. w. Wright, when he re-
ported for duty about 6 O'Clock
Thursday morning.
The double padlocks on the door
of the cage occupied by Morrison
and Petway had been sawed and
the steel bars over the opening re
moved.
Stiles had gained possession of
wrench which he used for pinchers.
and succeeded in tearing a hole
through the steel partition between
the cells. The sheeting of steel was
broken outin small pieces, and an
opening was made through which
Stiles gained admission to the cell
occupied by Petway and Morrison,
and escaped with them.
1t is believed that the men took to
the Cumberland river and pulled
out in sklff down stream.
The sheriff of the county has Of
fered a reward of 500 each for the
arrest of the men.
Morrison was recently given 20
years for the murder of operator
Douglas Coffman at Springfield
nearly tour years ago. The case
is now in the hands of the supreme
court. Petway is also under SEN
tence of 20 years for murder and an
appeal to the Supreme Court is now
pending.
Stiles is charged with the murder
of railroad man last August and
has not yet been tried.

Unnatural Women.

1t is the great misfortune of many
of the sufferers from womanly dis
eases that they have accepted the
idea that such diseases are a part
of woman's natural heritage. The
reason for this wide acceptance of
womanly suffering as natural and
necessary is twofold. On the one
hand the number of wonoen who
suffer is so great that the woman
who is exempt from womanly weak
ness seems to be an anomaly,
contradiction. On the other hand,
the general failure of local pTac-
titioners to effect a cure of womanly
diseases leads to their acceptance
as iucurable.
The first thing that a woman
needs to realize is that wOmanly
disease is unnatural and in gen.
eral unnecessary. 1t would be as
reasonable to suppose that the
natural type of man was the man
dwarfed, misshappen, crippled and
deformed, as to suppose that the
natural condition of woman was one
of misery and suffering. Disease
is unnatural. Where there is one
woman who stands free from the
diseases which so commonly afiict
her sex, she is the standard of
womanhood. Every woman should
try to be like her. Almost all
women could be like her if they
used the right means.
The proof of this statement lies
IN the fact that DR.. Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescription has lifted hum
dreds of thousands OF weak and
sick women to the plane of perfect
health. 1t has cured chronic dis
eases of years standing; cured
when all hope of cure had passed
dbO phl SlNlduo AAad odltA lAACAC W 10
no cure. Irregularity, facilitating
drains, Inflammation, liberation
and female weakness have all
yielded to "Favorite Prescription,
and been perfectly and permanent
ly cured,
No woman, however serious her
condition, should neglect to at
tempt cure Of her disease by the
use of "Favorite Prescription.
DR.. Pierce invites sick aud ailing
women, especially those suffering
from chronic forms of disease, tC

this question is passed upon at all,
