FINE MEMBERS WHO
DO NOT PAY BOARD

Chicago, Dec. 24.-The Cigarmakers
Unions have resolved to fine members
who leave their board bills unpaid.
When a union cigarmaker goes for
work to a new town his union sends
him to a boarding house. If he does
not pay up and complaint is made to
the union the latter assumes the res
possibility, pay the bills and charges
it up to the delinquent. Now he will
be fined also.

fight against local Chi

The trouble grows out of an

CAN FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Brotherhood Of Joiners and Society Of
Carpenters Create Rules to Govern
New Organization. - Am.Ig amated
Society Is One Of the Oldest Trade
Unions in the Country,

indianapolis, Dec. 24.-On January
l, of next year, the temporary agree
ment providing for the amalgamation
OF the two carpenters organizations of
the country-the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and .Joiners and the
Amalgamated Society of Carpenters
will go into effect and will be tested
for one year, at the end of which time
if the temporary alliance has been
satisfactory to both unions a perman-
ent amalgamation will be consummat-
ed. ~
ton met a few days ago in Buffalo,
where the above understanding as
to the agreement and terms of the
amalgamation handed down. last
month by Umpire Strausser was
reached.
The decision of Umpire Strauss
ser was accepted by the different
locals of the United Brotherhood,
but there were several sections
which the Amalgamated Society de-
sired altered before accepting it..
This was done at the meeting in
Buffalo, by the sanction Of Um-
pire Strausser. After the first Of
the year the two organizations will
be known as the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
The terms of the agreement pro-
vide that any member of the Anal
gamated Society having a travelling
card shall, on coming into a new
district, deposit it with the nearest
local within three days after secur-
ing work. Wherever there is a
branch of the Amalgamated Society
and local Of the Brotherhood there
shall be a joint district council, and
each member shall pay not less than
five cents, and no more than twen-
ty-five cents per month to the dis
trict. In the districts where there
are no branches of the Amalgamated
Society every member shall pay twen-
ty-five cents per month to the nearest
local for working card.
. The agreement also provides that
each organization shall place in the
hank named by the Umpire the sum
Of $4,000 to pay for the carrying out
of the temporary amalgamation. the
deposits to be made before January

by both Unions throughout the COM

mind but that the good results which
will arise from the cooperation will
dispel all opposition to permanent
organization, if any exists, which we
have as yet failed to find.

VICTORY FOR
CLOSED SHOP
EMPLOYERS LOSE IMPORTANT
POINT.-UNiONS SCORE
VICTORY.
Perry's Freak Notions Get Turned
Down In Chicago o-Convention-chi-
eago Manufacturers Support Closed
Shop. Says It. Is Not Right to
Fight Organized Labor. Closed Shop
Is Matter Of Private Agreement.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-At the Chicago
convention of employers the effort of
the Paryites to force through a reso-
luton for the "open shop was defeat
ed Monday. Those who read the
Times and Herald would never have
suspected this fact for they made not
the slightest mention of it but gave
space entirely to the arguments made
against the "closed shop proposition
and the alleged tyranny Of unions.
Details are hard to get but aside from
special dispatches showing that the
open shop clause was defeated the
arguments were along the line of the
speech made by T. X. Webster, the
Chicago machinery manufacturer
Some Of the points were:
Every manufacturer tries to get
contracts whereby dealers or consum-
ers agree to vend or use his products
exclusively. To get such contracts he
makes price and other concessions
He regards such contracts as legiti-
mate commercial advantage. Nor do
his competitors complain of them,
unless obtained by unfair means
They are all seeking the same advant-
age.
"The closed shop is exactly the
same kind of commercial advantage.
1t results from a contract whereby an
employer agrees to use only the labor
of certain persons. In trying to get
such contracts trades unions are do
ing exactly what manufacturers do
when they seek to make contracts for
the exclusive use of their products.
They are seeking a legitimate COM
mercial advantage.
"As there must be an adequate con-
sideration to induce consumers to
make exclusive contracts with trades
unions, such consideration the trades
unions profess to offer in their asser-
tion that their members are and will
continue to be, on the average, more
efficient workmen than non -unionists.
'The remedy, of course, is not to
rave against trades unions as monop-
olies and enemies of liberty. It is
to show them that their own interests
require them to keep their contracts
strictly and to understand that only
by paying fully the consideration by
which they. obtain such contracts are
they entitlad.to possekg the advantaEe

Private citizens may well take lesson
in their treatment of the Flag from the
Army and Navy of the United States
The officers and enlisted men of these
services are always ready, and are moi
rarely called upon to lay down their lives
for the Flag and for what it represents
and they give it the respectful and affec
tionate care which the symbol of SO much
i that is precious to them deserves.
The army regulations provide that the
| flag at every post shall be raised al
reveille each morning and lowered each
evening at sunset, while the soldiers stand
mt salute and the band plays 1.-The Star.
Spangled Banner" 1t is not cleft OUT
overnight for any reason except perhaps
one. When a fort or military post is
actually under fire from the enemy. the
flag may wave defantly until hostilities
are over. A banner torn by the shot and
shell of battle is honorable in its rags, but
one which has fallen into dilapidation
| through the carelessness or neglect of its
) towners is pitiful and accusing sight.
| At all army posts, moreover, there is a
special storm" flag, half as large as the
regular post flag, which is flown in stormy
and windy weather.
| 1t would be a wise precaution for our
schoolhouses to have such a flag for bad
weather, or if they can afford but one, to
raise it only on fine days. But in every
case the school flag should be carefully
lowered every evening, folded neatly, and
put in safe-keeping until the next day.
| There are certain regulations which the
army has adopted concerning the manner
of raising or displaying the Flag which
are of less importance to the civilian, but
may be of interest to those who like to dc
things in the right way. For instance
| it is prescribed that the Flag shall always
be hoisted or lowered from the leeward
side of the staff, and the halyards shall
always be held by two men.
Another regulation reads: son all oc.
casions when the Flag is displayed at half
mast, it is lowered to that position from
hOisted to the top of the staff before it is
finally lowered"
The Flag is kept at half-mast at mill
tary posts only until the body of the per
son whose death it recognizes is finally
| inferred.
Thus, although most flags throughout
| the Nation were kept at half-mast during
the 20 days of mourning for President
Mckinley, those on army and navy head
quarters were restored to full mast i'm,
mediately after the funeral at Canton.
Inc cOlOrS Oh tHe NarIOuS regiments
however, were draped in mourning for the
entire 30 days, and all officers of the army
Wore the mourning badge upon thei1
swords for the same length of time.
| 1t may be interesting to know that the
army custom concerning the display of the
Flag on Memorial Day differs from that
ordinarily followed.
The Stars and Stripes are raised to half
mast at sunrise. and remain there until
midday. At noon National salute of 81
guns is fired, and the post or regimental
band plays a dirge as memorial tribute.
The Flag is then hoisted to the top of the
staff. where it flies until the retreat is
sounded at sunset.

Army Etiquet of the Flag.
youths Companion.I

In no other country is the National flag
so widely displayed as in our own. Per-
haps this is because the sentiments of
loyalty and allegiance which in monarch
ical countries gather so largely about the
person of the King or Queen center in the
United States wholly upon the Flag.
Yet in many cases there is entire ignor-
ance of what may be called the etiquet of
the flag, and even of the proper and re-
spectful care it should receive. 1t is
often raised to its post. and unless there
is occasion for lowering it to halfmast, it
is allowed to remain there night and day,
rain or shine, until it becomes merely q
