It is the unexpected, but it is the unex-

lives are taxed to a very considerable
extent in the effort to give a faint idea Of
the grace, the exquisi beauty. the sym
metry OF form, the manly femininity and
the feminine manliness of Miss Vain
wright as the boy Cesario. But why say
anything about this since all theatrego-

PRISON CIGARS,
The Disgusting Way They Are Made

The Disgusting Way They Are Made
in Michigan.
Lansing, Mich, Aug. ~27.-Deputy
State Labor Commissioner Malcolm J.
Mcleod vigorously roasts the way the
cigar department in the state prison
at Marquette is run.
"There are over 100 men engaged in
rolling cigars there says he, "and
some of these convicts are afflicted
with loathsome diseases. These men
close the ends of the cigars with their
saliva and bite off the ends, and con-
sequently make the subsequent sno-
ker liable to inoculation. The. warden
acknowledged the practice was a bad
one, but the attorney general told me
it's rectif1cation was outside the prov
ince of the labor commissioner, and
came under the Jurisdiction of the
local health board. Each of these men
makes from 600 to 1900 cigars day
and this practice of Ticking the ends
means the scattering of cancer and
other diseases broadcast. It should be
stopped and that Immediately"

GOES TOO FAR
LOCAL SENTIMENT DOES NOT
APPROVE OF HEARST.
Objection Not to Hearst, but to Dis.
position to DabbIe in
Politics.

Dissatisfa ctiOn is expressed by MEM
bers of local building trades unions at
the action of the convention of the
National Building Trades Council, held
recently in Denver, Col, IN indorsing
the candidacy of William r. Hearst
for president of the United States.
That the affilia ted unions will not be
bound by anything which may plunge
the building trade unions into politics
is shown by the following expression
of opinion from one high IN national
labor circles and who, 1t IS conceded
locally, voices the sentiments of vast
majority of the rank and file of labor
unlonists throughout the country:
Il have nothing against Mr.. Hearst
He is possibly a very fine gentleman,
but I think the National Building
Trades Council overstepped it's au-
thority when it committed our organ
| ization to the Endorsement of a man
for political office, and I know that
our membership will repudiate it's ac-
ton.
Il do not propose that any organiza-
tion with which we are affiliated shall
dictate the political policy OF our men,
bers, and if any resolutions come to
Duluth quoting us in this matter
| I wish to denounce them"
The National Building Trades Coun-
| Gil has made an important change in
| the constitution affecting per capita
assessments for strike and lockout
benefits. Heretofore such assessments
were levied upon the total membership
| of all national and international locals
affiliated with the council. Under the
new system this assessment will be
limited to unions which are affiliated
| with the local councils that are men,

| Council

not boycott the Bell Telephone COM

opponent of union labor, and that over

JUST A RUMOR,
Story of Averted Strike in Mills With
out foundation

Story of Averted Strike in Mills With
out Foundation.
Minneapolis, Aug. PA sensational
story to the effect that by the closing
down of the flour mills this week a
strike of the oilers and ''grubbers" had
been averted, is denounced by local
officials of the Flour Mill Employees
union as wholly without foundation,
employees a. great
injustice. Since their inception the
milling crafts unions have been care
full to transact any business concern
ing wage scales, ETC., with their en-
ployers in a business-like manner, and
such snap judgment as the article in
question implied was never even
thought of. John M. Finley, president
of the international Mill Employees
Union, is emphatic in his denial Of the
statement and is at a loss to account
for its origin. Mr.. Finley said the OIL
ers WHO were mentioned as parties to
the proposed strike, voted three weeks
ago, not to ask for an increase in
wages this fall, while the term grub
bers" was previously unheard of.
The Packers and Nailers' Union No.
1, will ask that all packers and nailers
demand affects only about per cent
Of the members Of this union, and
these are employed in two mills.
announcement is made that the flour
leaders will renew their demand for
an .eight-hour day at $500 per day
which the workmen assert can be
granted by a very slight increase In the
number of men employed. No time
has been set for the new scale to go
into effect, and a strike is not expected.
Local Unions, No. -, 16 and 20 of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, have closed sat-
isfactory agreement with the American
Cereal Company, by which every en-
ploye who works by the day receives
an increase Of at least 10 cents, while
some of the workmen getting lower
wages will receive from Is to 20 cents
increase a day.

PERMANENT DEFENSE FUND
Causes Otis, Of the Los Angeles Times,
to Rave Worse Than Usual.

Los Angeles, Cal-, Aug 27.-Speclal
Correspondence.-The notorious Los
Angeles Times has broken even it's
own record during the past week for
hysterical abuse of organized labor.
No doubt this latest outburst is due
to the fact that the International Ty-
biographical Union; at it's recent con-
vention in Washington, decided to sub
NIT to the printers Of the United States
and Canada" a constitutional amend
ment providing for a permanent de-
fense fund. Otis knows that if such
a fund were made permanent, his last
hope would vanish, for, during the
past year, he. has been enabled to hold
his hackers together with the state
ment that the special assessment le-
WED by the, union 1printers with which
to fight the Times would be discon-
ueds after twelve months. Now that
the printers have decided. to make the
fight fight to the finish, Otis knows
such will mean the finish of the. Los
Angeles Times as "a non-union publ
cation, hence his desperate assaults
on paper. Duringsthe past week two
more advertisers-the Munyon Remedy
Co., Philadelphia, and wrtghts Indian
Vegetable Pill Company, New York,
have withdrawn their patronage from
the Times; as a direct result of letter.
writing on the part of union members
mands not only on moral honesty, but
most effective. Following is a revised
list of advertisers. in the notorious
Times:

PRESIDENT NEARY
VISITS DULUTH
COMES LOOK FIELD OVER. FOR
PROMOTING WORK HERE.
Highly Enthusiastic Over Work Beinq
Done in Other Parts Of
the State.

President M. E.. Neary Of the Minne-
sofa State Federation of Labor spent
Tuesday last in Duluth. He came here
to discuss with the secretary treasurer
Of the federation a plan for promoting
the work Of organization In the vicinity
of Duluth. It was agreed at confer
ence held in the office of the Labor
World to take immediate steps to Or
ganize on the iron ranges. No effort
will be made at this time TO organize
the miners for several reasons. First,
the Federation has not in Its employ
the right kind of organizers to mix
with the miners, and second, there is
no national organization Of miners suf-
ticiently strong to protect them after
they are organized. This and the fact
that there would be a powerful oppo-
sition to organization from mining Of
ficials brought the conclusion that any
effort among the miners would be fu-
tile.
Other branches of labor on the
ranges will, however, be organized in
the very near future. Demands have
been received from several of the
towns and villages on the ranges for
~ 5oA'A1o1o IoA opecAd1 "o1h' anu tHese
demands will be quickly satisfied.
President Neary said that it would
be the policy Of the Federation to send
organizers to every portion of the state
and the entire resources would be used
in the work of organization. He ex-
pressed himself very strongly on this
point, and also said that the Fedora
ton had since the Little Falls conven-
tion done more work In the field than
it had ever done before. Organizer J.
H. Carver is now at st. Cloud where
he has received the unions there. He
will leave next week for Faribault.
