And as for the opinion of the boys
themselves 1t is well expressed by
fourteen-year-old Eddie Cornell OF

he, you tell de New York guys dat de

US poke in de eye and sends us home.
Den We'll call halt and take care of
ourselves. De miners won't have us in

who give us poke in de eye dey laugh

WAR STORY,

mander that his men were inside the
fort, as, in fact, they were, and that
Landrum's brigade and others had
planted flags upon the Confederate
works. He said that with support the
works could be held.
When Grant heard the news from
the front line, he ordered the assault
resumed at all points. Fresh brigades
went forward from the positions they
had held all the morning, but in evety
case met with repulse. AS the troops
were all in line and more or less en-
gagged with the enemy, there were no
reserves to draw upon to follow up the
successes gained by the daring few. A
division was ordered to REINFORCE Nc
Clernand and follow up the success of
Lawler and Landrum, but did not
reach the scene until nightfall. By
that time the Confederates had rallied
to the danger point, and this attack
was also repulsed.
Grants assault May 10 cost him
about 1000 men and that of the 22d
over 5000. Netherlands corps SUI
fered most, and the loss Of the Twenty
second Iowa was the heaviest of any
regiment in the army. OF the 10000
men present for duty all but 5000 were
engaged. The assaulted line actually
covered but two and one-half miles
and was held in the morning by two
Confederate brigades. Throughout the
day the entire force Of defenders did
not exceed $4,000 men, but the nature
Of the ground was so difficult that the
works could only be approached for
assault at three points-that is, along
the roads indicated leading to fle
forts. These points stood out like sail
ents in advance Of the main line and
protected the intervals between. The
forts assailed and the breaStWOrkS
alongside would not hold over 1000
men. The Confederate loss in repuls-
ing the attacks of Sherman and Nc
Pherson was less than $50 killed and
wounded. Two days after the assault
a truce was had for two hours to care
for the helplessly wounded and bury
the dead between the lines. Officers
on both sides strolled out from the
trenches to look the ground over. The
Confederate engineer was especially
interested in the batteries in front Of
Sherman and while standing on the
parapet of the fort which resisted him
was approached by an orderly in blue,
who said that General Sherman wished
to see him. The engineer, S. H. Lock
EFT, related the story in the Century
War Series. He says that Sherman in

THE GREATEST EVER.
Unparalleled Growth of the Ameri-
can Labor Movement.


can Labor Movement.
The phenomenal growth of organized
labor in this country during the past
twelve months is the most encouraging
sign Of our times. 1t shows that the
workers are fast coming to see the ben
efits of unionism and the necessity for
meeting the combinations of capital
with just as strong combinations Of
the workers. The progress made dur
ing the past year, and especially since
the convention of December last, re-
fleets great credit upon the officers of
the American Federation Of Labor,
who are tircless in the good work In
"a letter to the labor editor of the
American Press Association Frank
Morrison, secretary Of the American
Federation of Labor, says:
"The American Federation Of Labor
is swinging along at an unusual gait
this year. We have reached high wa
ter mark in the matter of applica tons
for charters. During the month of
March we received PIG application for
charters for unions that do not come
under national or international unions
now in existence, and indica tons are
that a still higher record will be
reached during April. For your infor-
nation desire to say that the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, taking into
consideration it's affiliated bodies, has
increased fully 100000 over the aver
age membership paid upon during the
eleven months ending Sept. 80, 1902.
We have thirty-six paid organizers in
the field, greater number than ever
before in the history of the A. F. of L.
We have over 1000 district organizers,
and we are receiving 100 per cent more
applications this year than during the
same months last year.
I'VE have now 1O4 international or
CARNATIONS, 26 state bodies, SOC city
centrals and nearly LOO local unions.
Five additional international organi-
cations will probably be chartered at
an early date. President Gompers has
called conventions to form information
al organizations of the following three
crafts: Railway clerks, building labor.

lots and the hospital attendants have

charters. The Bricklayers and the Soft

mission's Hint. -
A significant paragraph. Of the an.
thracite commissions report is that
which concerns the status of minors in
a union. The commission says: 1--WE
believe it is unwise and impolitic to
permit boys of immature age and judg-
ment to participate in deciding the pol
icy and actions Of labor union. We
think no one should have such voice
in the affairs of union until he has
reached his legal majority"
A correspondent OF the New York
Tribune, writing from Wilkesbarre,
tells how the boys and the men with
whom they work and are associated in
the union feel about the suggestion of
the commission. He says: .
With one voice the breaker boys of
the anthracite region condemn the
clause in the finding of the strike COM
mission which declares it unwise to
permit them to be active members of
the labor union. The little fellows ap-
preclate their power, and they mean
to assert it, they say, while they be-
ieve that they are as valuable men,
bers of the union as some Of the 'for-
eigners." The fact that President
Mitchell has SO often spoken of his
great ambition to get the breaker boys
out of the collieries and into the schools
has given the little fellows as much as
anything else the idea that the union

is no mistaking the sentiment of the
people on this question. So far as the
prohibitory law is concerned, he said
he stood firmly and squarely upon the
platform of his party which has been
endorsed by the voters at the polls,
and during the next two years, that
law must be and will be enforced.
Continuing, Mr.. Ham stated that he
had seen and talked with 300 of the
leading professional and business men
of the county within the past three
weeks, and that he found them in ia
vor of the strict and impartial enforce
ment of the law.
He said he could see no reason why
the prohibitory law should not be en-
forced without any restriction as well
as the law against stealing or murder.
If there is any good reason why it
shouldn't be. the Legislature will be
in session the present winter to give it
consideration, and make a law to please
the people. So long as sthe law re-
manned on the statute books, he said,
while he was sheriff of Kennebec coun-
ty he should enforce it, and would so
instruct his deputies.
Continuing, Mr.. Ham stated to his
deputies that he desired them to no.
tify the liquor dealers in their respec-
tive territories to get out of the BUSH
ness. If after Monday next any of
them still retain stock in trade or para
phernalia of the traffic they must be
made to suffer the consequences OF the
law. He asked that this work Of no.
tfication should be attended to al once.
