of you. The cost of living has gone up
only Is per cent. or So
Increased cost of living is often given
by unions as the reason for striking for
more wages. So the Employers Associa-
ton had an expert statistician from Ann
Arbor University prepare a report on the
increase in the cost OF living since 1898.
For this report the association paid $500.
II is based on the experts personal inves-
legations and computations on government
returns, and or actual inquiry as 10 retail
prices at butcher shops, groceries and dry
goods stores in the very neighborhocds
where work.ngmen live Sometimes unions
contend: "Beefsteak has risen 20 per cent. Z"
1t is retorted: But you don't live wholly
OH beefsteak. do you? Flour has gone
down; sugar has gone down; potatoes have
gone down. Street car fares nave de-
creased" And by the investigation or the
association expert IL was determined that
the cost of living had increased IL per cent.
In six years. But allowance was made for
''sundries"-for the fact that people live
better. buy better grades of materials.
ures that 16 per cent. increase in the cost
of living is a fair average basis.

VOTED DOWN THE SOCIALISTS.
Federation OF Labor DisapprOves Their
ResOlutions-N0 Sympathy Strikes.

Boston, Nov. 17.-At to-days session CT
the Federation of Labor the committee
on law had the floor. 1t reported q number
OF resolutions, non-conourring In most CT
them. 1t reported unfavorably upon
proposition to amend the constitution to
embody some socialistic declarations and
the report was adopted so speedily that
the chairman was accused Of railroading
1t through without giving the delegates
an opportunity TO be heard.
The committee also reported against
resolution intended to make it constitu-
tional for the convention to discuss politics
affecting the interest OF the workingmen
and the convention concurred in the report
on this question the constitution says:
Party politics, whether they be Demo-
cratic, Republican, Socialistic, Populistic,
Prohibition or any ot her, shall have no place
in the conventions Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor"
This section, therefore, will remain IN
force unless another avenue is found later
in the convention as is expected, for the
temperance of the element desiring the
privilege to discuss political issues and
candidates.
The resolution favorable to sympathetic
strikes was also defeated.

MR.. CIGARS OR4TORIO.
The Dream Of Gerontius" Sung Again
by the Orstorio society.

The Oratorio Sociey gave Its first con-
cert at Carnegie Hall last night 1t was
not in the regular public series of the So
ciety, but was a special entertainment
for the teachers of the public schools,
Similar concerts have been given in pre-
vious seasons and have been received
gladly by the teachers among whom Frank
Damrosch, superintendent Of music in the
public schools az well as conductor of the
Oratorio Society, l. endeavoring to de-
velop a love for the best art in music.
Elgar's oratorio was reviewed at some
length in this place when it was produced
last season. The impressions received
from the work at that time remain. They
were deepened by last nights hearing.
There are undoubtedly some weak places
in the work, but on the whole it is noble
one. The second part suffers from the
very mood pictures which the composer
has successfully made: This part deals
with the experiences Of the soul of Gerontius
on it's arrival in the next world, and Mr..
Elgar has in mastery manner dissociated
from his music the keen accents of human
passion and suffering heard in the death
scenes in the first part.
The atmosphere Of the second part is
genuinely supernatural and has a wonder
ful abst action. Even the sneering song of
the demons is not human In temper. The
long recitations of the Angel, calm and
solemn. and the speeches of Gerontius,
now freed of feshly integument. are couched
in beautiful but inevitably monotonous,
accents The splendors Of the second part
are the solo of the Angel of the Agony and
the two magnificent double choruses.
These, indeed, are the inspirations of a
master. The first part made the same
powerful impression last night as it did
last season, and again the gorgeous orches-
tration of the work achieved its purpose.
The performance was excellent in almost
every respect. The Oratorio Society COW
cred itself with glory when it sang this
composition last winter. and 1t reclaimed
it's laurels last night. The soloists were
Ellison van Hoose, David Bispham and
Louise Homer.
The first two sang the same music last
wear, but Nine. Homer replaced Ada Cross
lev. She sang generally with, good erect,
b,t she would have been wiser to omit
certain high notes, which are not naturally
in her voice and which are optional in the
SCORE. The orchestra deserves particular
praise for its elasticity in the matter of
dynamics. Mr.. Damrosch conducted with
his Gust omary devotion and skill. The
Dream of Gerontus' will be repeated at
the first regular concert of the society

of the strike, conflicting stories were told
OF the details OF the affair. A supply wagon
driven by a non-union employee OF the
company, guarded by special officer
and conveying two negro cooks, was trying
to reach the car barns at Oakley avenue

g. II. PROCTOR SETTLES.
Satisfaction Pieces on Nine Pixies Peak
Tunnel Judgments Against Him.

The filing of nine satisfaction pieces by
George H. Proctor yesterday on Judgments
aggregating about 50 600 revived interest
in the famous project Of piercing Pixies
Peak by an eighteen mile tunnel. In 1895
Proctor and his partner. Lord Thurlows.
who was then in this country, conceived the
project 1f boring tunnel honnnd unaer tiEe
proposed to Use the tunnel for a railway
line and also for the drainage of the mines
in the high mountain lands. This section
includes. the rich Cripple Creek district,
where there Is much difficulty TO prevent
flooding OF the mines.
The scheme was capitalized for $50 900 900.
and much Of the stock was disposed of in
England A start was made, but the com
pany soon got into financial difficulties:
A number of Judgments we're recovered
satisfied. One Of the judgments was for
s5i ,6s2 due to j. B. Toner as commissions
for disposing of stock in England. Proctor
was included in number OF the Judgments,
as he had put his personal endorsement
upon some OF the company's notes and
drafts. In 1890 work on the tunnel was
completely suspended.
When the large amount OF indebtedness
was wiped out yesterday there was some
speculation as to whether it meant revival
Of the Pixies Peak Tunnel Company. Mr..
Proctor, at his office. ITO Broadway, said:
A good many people, including the com.
mercial agencies, have wondered how 1
could have judgments for $4,000 against
me and still be president OF three solvent
concerns, the Summit Coal Company, the
McCloud River Power Company and the
Old Colony Company. They didn't know
that those satisfaction pieces filed yester-
day have been in my safe for over year.

MAY NOT REDUCE WAGES.
Cotton Mill Operatives in Northern New
England May Not Have Pay Cut.

BosToN, Nov. 1.-THE developments
which have appeared recently in the cotton
manufacturing industry and in the cotton
market are being watched closely by the
numerous mill treasurers and commission
houses in Boston. Although 5000 opera
tives in southern New England will have
their pay reduced 10 per cent. the mills
having their head Offices here, with one
Of two exceptions, have taken no action
regarding change in the wage schedule.
and. notwithstanding various rumors, it
Is believed that no reduction will be made
by them at this time.
In the cotton mills which have offices
in Boston there are employed fully 10000
hands, or $4,000 more than he mills in south
ern New England and western Massachu-
sets, which have been running on entirely
different schedules
The action OF the manufacturers in south

turn to the basis which existed previous to
