A DASHlNG REPORTER.

Max ORell used to tell story about
his first experience with a Chicago
newspaper reporter, says the New York
Times. The genial Frenchman had
Just arrived at the Grand Pacific hotel
and had retired to his room to rest
after fatiguing journey. In Sorder to
get the most possible out of the short
siesta, he took off his clothes and got
into bed. The day was hot one, and
for better circulation of air he left the
door slightly ajar, placing a. chair
against it for security. Shortly after
ward he was awakened from his nap by
a knock at his door, and he drowsily
inquired who was there. "Mr:: Blank
of the Daily so-and-so," replied the re-
porter. II cannot be disturbed now"
called ORell. "You will have to come
again. cannot see you now. I am
in bed" Notwithstanding this injunc-
ton, the humorist saw the door pushed
open, the chair fell over on the floor,
and the reporter entered the room,
threw his hat on the table, sighed and
helped himself to chair, "Well, well,
WE'LL" exclaimed the now angry
Frenchman. "This is unprecedented.
What will you have, sir? What'n you
have?" '"rhank you," replied the re-
porteV tanning himself. It'll have a

FORM A GIANT TRADES UNION.
Plan to AmaIsanaate Six Structural
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to Abol-
ish Strikes.

PITTSBURGH August 31.7-According
to Frank Buchanan, president, the
International Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers, is planning to amalga-
mate the six powerful structural trade
organizations into a mighty national
organization of 100000 workers and the
amalgamation by these organizations of
the smaller trades, such as marble cut
tiers, granite cutters, stone cutters, etc.
Mr.. Buchanan says one meeting to
forward this movement has been held
and another will be held at Indianapolis
on Oct. 7, to perfect the organization.
This, meeting wall Ybe attended by ma
tional Officers representing the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners,
the Bricklayers and Masons' Interna-
tional union, the United Association of
Plumbers. Gas Fitters, Steam Filters
and Steam Filters Helpers and the
Building Trades Laborers International
union.
At the bottom Of the proposed or
ganization is a decision of its organi-'
zation to inaugurate measure to
abolish strikes. The new organization
will not only not endorse a strike of
any Of it's organizations which does not
meet with it's approval, but will not
permit the strike.

Of allegiance to it's objects, and abide

the chance Of employment in those in,
dustries which it controls. This. is as
much usurpation of the inherent
rights Of liberty asst would be to COM
pei man to: join a certain church or
certain lodge. / have stated that
unionism aims to establish condition
of affairs similar to that Of feudlism
and serfdon Of former centuries when
the right of disposing Of ones labor was
denied to the Individual: If the labor
leaders had their way they would in
time enslave the human race.
Again: in order to enforce their IL
legal purpose the members of unions
habituallv resort in times of strikes to
physical mob VIOLENCE. They gather in
crowds abou ut the place of their former
ing fear in the minds of men who
might be disposed to work. and all too
frequently they terrorize the women
folks of so-called "scabs' and commit
acts of violence.
Even murder has been known to
have been committed. in the sacred
name Of ORGANIZED labor. I wish to
bring out the point that any organiZa-
ton that. has lawful PURPOSES and con-
ducts itself lawfully. has a perfect
right to exist and that if ORGANIZED la
hor would eliminate that which is hate
full to it's code and would act strictly
would be no cause for agitation against
it. If unionism is lawful it must be
correct to assume that those who have
been lawless in the past are in favor of
DESTROYING the unions. otherwise it is
untrue."

way Employes' Leader.

ID. M. Parry is the Jonah Most of
is the way W. D. Mahon,
president of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street Railway Employees of
America, in an interviewS recently,
characterized the president Of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
who has lost no opportunity to give
trades unionism rip up the back.
what Johann Most is in the social
istic and labor world, Mr.. Parry is in
radicalism gone to seed. One
takes the action of one or two corpora
tons and enlarges upon it until it be-.
comes in his mind a great monster,
threatening the peace Of the whole
country, and the other does the same
with the action Of one or two labor Or
ganizations. Neither is worth the seri-
GUS consideration of thinking American
public, except as examples of what ex-
IRENE radicalism will do on either side.
1t may be true that business agents
and walking delegates have in some ILL
stances exceeded their authority and
caused unnecessary trouble and some
of them may not have been as honest
as they might have been, yet it is no
more fair to condemn trades unionism
as a whole because of what these men
have done than it is to crush those in
their employ. There are many employ
ers running open shops, and with these
men trades unionists have no fight
coming. It was the men who ground
theira hirelings down into dirt, placing
them on a plane scarcely above that
of thot cd 1oh
pie to organize with the object of fore
ing from the employer the rights which
he refused to grant them for the sake
of humanity.
"There can be no doubt as to the
good that organization has accomplish
ed in every condition of life from the
humblest up to the highest. The very
essence Of strength lies in thorough or
ganization.' The manufacturers know
this as well as the workingman does
and it is for this reason that men who
would like to be petty tyrants are such
strenuous kickers. against organized
labor. They know that if they do not
treat their men fairly they can be
forced to do so by strong organizations
Fair minded employers have no OBJ
lection to labor unions; on the con-
trary, man yof them are coming more
and more to recognize the Importance
of the unions and to consult with the
leaders of their men.
II will not say that the day will ever
come when there will be no strikes at
all, but they are becoming fewer every
year. The idea of settling difficulties
by arbitration is gaining ground rap
idly, both employer and employe real
ling that it is better to look at the la
Dor question from a strictly business
standpoint rat her than: fro NTH stand
point Of perso1iar preference and! every
other means of settlement will have to
be exhausted before astrike is resorted
to. The strikes Of the future will be
more intense than those Of the past for
the reason that labor is better organ
lied than ever ebfore and also for an
other reason that when astrike is OF
dered nothing else will be left to be
done."-The Detroit Tribune.

VISIT SUPERIOR BARBER SHOPS.

State Board Members Will at Once

GAINESVILLE, Sept. LATTER several
days in Milwaukee, the state BARRIERS
board has resumed itsylabors in this
city, and is conducting a voluminous,
correspondence. License cards, certifi-:
Gates and answers to various inquiries
are being sent out. r"
Among the other business mapped joutj
blythe commission is the determination
to visit every barber shop;in Wisconsin,
with the object Of seeing to'it that each
is placed in sanitary eondition-in ~ac-
cordance with the principles of the new
state law. When the fact' is taken Into
consideration; that, there are. some 1900
shops in WISCONSIN, the undertaking
will by no means prove insignificant.
President of the board Douhan, of SUI
perior, said to the News Tribune cor
respondent today: g
Three months more, at least, will be
required to perform the duties of the
board in this direction. The secretary
of the commission will be occupied for
an even longer period, owing to the
amount Of clerical work piled up before
him. <. 49,,
":Cities in the SOUTHERN part of the
state will be tackled first. Milwaukee
will be the first to occupy the attention
of the commission. With painstaking
care each shop in the entire Cream City
will be visited by Heine, Whitaker and
myself. Superior Racine, Kenosha and
GAINESVILLE. will be among: the next cities
to be inspected tonsorially. After them
will come the towns Of lesser magnl-
tude."
Mr.. Douhan says that a large part of
their work will not need repetition in
later years, but 1T must be carried out
with care this year in; order that the
work Of the commission may be proper
ly grounded and the practice of barber
ing may be regulated; as the state legis-
lators desired it should be-:

Nae Great Flood Problem.

A problem of profound interest in our
national economies has been recently
pressed home upon our people by the
great eastern drouth and the still more
disastrous western floods. This prob
lem is how so to control our dangerous
floods as to minimize their destructive
effects and to conserve the flood waters
for irIigating the soil in time of with
ering drouth Old as is the agitation or
engineering schemes for securing this
double economy, our leading lawmakers
and statesmen have made in the last
forty years very little progress in pro-
Viding measures TO avert the wide
spread havoc wrought by overhows of
our great rivers 1t required such
catastrophes as these which have this
year befallen the principal agricultural
states of our central valleys to awaken
public interest in a practical solution Of
this problem
Before the vast watersheds of our
western rivers had been defOrested the
need of dams and reservoirs to protec.
