Important Step In Advance.

The Cigarmakers' international
union is making inroads into the
ranks of independent Spanish-speak
ing organizations throughout the
South. The independent union in
Tampa, Fla, known as Resistencia
with several thousand members, has
decided to amalgamate with the in
ternational organization, and accept
it's laws. 1t will receive charter, and
have rules printed in the Spanish Ian
guage. For several years this union
has been a source of trouble to the
English-speaking cigarmakers. 1t has
been in the habit of calling strikes for
any reason or for no reason, just as
the leaders felt inclined, until the
manufacturers, driven to desperation
forcibly seized and deported some OF
the more radical leaders some time
ago. The amalgamation will give the
international union control Of the
trade in Tampa, and steps are now
under way to bring about like ANAL
gamation in Key West.

New Organization DeerIed.

Circulars are being sent local
unions of painters throughout the
country asking their cooperation In
organizing the National Association OF
Painters, Decorators and Paperhang-
ers for the purpose Of protecting the
interests of the craft on broad nation
al lines. The proposed organization
will be conducted without funds, as
the circulars state that no dues or
assessments will be levied ana the
officers will work without salaries. II
the officers devote their time to the
work of the organization without any
remuneration the name Of the asso'
citation should be changed and
patriots" substituted for painters"
There is little danger that the pro-
posed organization will deceive any
painters or receive any support. There
is a national organization of the craft
in existence now, the Brotherhood OF
Painters, Decorators and Paperhang.
ers, and it is amply able to guard the
interests of its $4,000 members
throughout the country. The new
association is evidently intended for
no good purpose, and looks like an
attempt to disrupt the regular organi
zation. Its headquarters are in New
York, and the officers are: Edward
Devere, general president; James E
Mitchell, general vice president and

Necessity In Union.

While the tongue of privilege is as
soft and seductive as was that Of the
serpent in the garden Of old, this can
not be said for any argument that
workingmen themselves may bring for
ward for their self-deception. Such
argument may sound pleasing for lit
tie while, but 1t soon loses its charm II
1t runs strongly counter to the obvious
Interest of the mass Of workers. Trade
unionism would have been given up
long ago IL there were not some real
necessity in social conditions for the
formation of such offensive and de-
fensive organization of workers.
That such a necessity really exists
must be plain to see. What is that
necessity? E. H. Gary, chairman of
the executive committee of the steel
trust, the virtual head of the trust,
pointed to it recently when he said:
I'VE own 10000 acres of Connells'
vile coal, practically the whole supply
of the world. We also own $4,000 acres
of Pocahontas coal. These two Goals
beat the world for cheapness and
quality. We also own 70O,000,O00 tons
of unmined iron. Then we have about
1900 miles of our own railroads, be-
sides something like a hundred and
fifteen steel boats on the lakes"
And as 1t is with steelmaking, so
is 1t getting to be or ALREADY is with
all the other industrial lines. The con-
frol of natural resources. of the means
of transportation, of the machinery OF
taxation, of patents-is centering in
fewer and fewer hands, and men who
have only their labor to sell are being
reduced to commensurately worse and
worse conditions. Is it any wonder
that they band together in trade
vnions?-Chicago Record-Herald.

Aqitate for Federation.

There is a movement on foot to
unite all the unions on the Pacific
coast into federation, through
which they can be brought in closer
touch with each other. The long
shoremen have already such a fedora
ton or council, composed of local
unions of longshoremen, and it has
been found beneficial. The movement
is not In any sense a secession, as
all the unions will retain their affilia'
ton with the American Federation OF
Labor. The movement is expected to
crystalize at the meeting of the Ore
gon State Federation, which Will
meet next May. The promoters of the
plan expect to have the two state fed.
erations which meet this week elect
delegates to attend the Oregon con.
vention, so that the movement could
be launched at that time. The men
advocating the plan say that the
three sister states should be united
more closely, as the conditions Of EN-.
ployment are such in many indus
tries that the unions in one state
cannot secure concessions unless they
are granted in other states also. This
is said to be true, especially in ship.
building industry, and it is believed
by forming a close federation that q
uniform length of working day and
a minimum rate of wages could be
established all along the Pacific coast
in that industry.

ciuarmakers in Good Shape.

George w. Perkins, president of the
Cigarmakers' International union, re-
ports an exceptionally prosperous
year for his organization. The mem
bership of the international union is
now 41,000, an increase Of about
1000 for the year. During the year
there has been 120 strikes from all
causes, 105 of which were successful,
and ten compromised. The strikes
have all been of minor Importance,
not more than 5000 persons having
been involved. In nearly every case
where demands were made for IN.
creased wages or better conditions,
the advantages have been granted
without trouble. The demand for the
union label has exceeded that of any
previous year in the history of the
organization.

Circulars have been sent out by the

that the mills had been idle so long
in various parts Of the country that
the men were scattered in different
places, and the convention, If held in
February, would not get good repre-
sentation like it would If postponed
until May.

For pretty fluffy petticoat a novel
idea is to make the entire ruf1e OF

satin ribbon ruching. The foundation
of the skirt lies, of course, under this

Unhemmed Ruches and FrlIls.


Raw-edged ruches are quite the
latest way of making soft finish to a
silk skirt. They cannot be used on
MORE or ON any ribbed silk woven
like a poplin cord. But for louisine or
taffeta or faille there is nothing better
or more modish.
Think what a saving Of labor the
raw-edged ruche affords to the dress
maker! 1t is boon, doing away with
the hours of work once bestowed on
turning, basting the narrow hem, and
of the "mile-run" on the sewing ma
chine necessary to stitch the flounce.
A. silk like louisine or taffeta can
be safely pinked or left raw to be
used either gathered or rose-quilted,
without fear Of the edges fraying out.
