separate and distinct many of the powers
that be- are using their best energies to di-
vide or parcel out to others that which does
not belong TO them. thus forming national
or international bodies that were never
thought or dreamt of by the founders of
trades unions.
What effect this will have on the wage
workers in the future is a mystery that is
difficult TO fathom. One thing is certain
that unless stop is put to it soon we will
have an internal war among ourselves that
all the ingenuity and intelligence we pos
sess will be unable To cope with or subdue.
The time has come when we should forever
put our stamp of disapprova1 on such ac-
tons and call to task all men who advocate
such principles.

Yet we have n decision handed down to us
by Umpire Downed which practically or
ders us to turn over all Joiners, or in other
words cabinet makers, planning mill bench
and machine hands TO an organization
known as the Amalgamated Wood Work
ers' international Union. whose hours of
toll are much longer than ours and whose
wages are much less.
Our members refuse TO join organiza-
tion of this character-they belonged to the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America before the Amalga-
mated Wood Workers were ever thought
of. If we accepted this decision we would
be compelled not only to divide our trade.
but TO change our name also and eliminate
the word Joiner altogether from our or
ganiZation. This Is what our members will
not stand for tolerate.
Ever since the formation of the Amalga-
mated Wood Workers international Union
in 1896 nothing but contention, disputes and
quarrels have arisen between the two
CARNATIONS as to the question of jurisdic-
ton and lines of demarkation. In the last

time, it is said is labor so much in need of
his guidance, and it is charged that he is
the object of the fight of the employers
against organized labor, for by overthrow
ing him they believe they viii reflect upon
the movement injury from which it will
not soon recover.
The opposition TO Mr.. Gompers has come
as the result of certain decisions which he
has made in regard to matters of jurisdic-
ton among the unions. Some of these deci-
sions Mr.. Gompers has made himself, while
others he has been compelled to make by
the executive board of the Federation.
The "open-shop' question will also be
interesting topic in the convention, and the
outcome of the controversy is watched with
the keenest interest by labor followers.
The controversies of different local unions
will also be fought out the floor of the
convention. There are a great many of
these fights now, and the contentious
are expected to be bitter and to the end.

MUST BE ABOVE SUSPICION.
Charges Made Against IN Labor Leader
I'm New York.

In New York.
1t is said that a labor leader of New York
has been accused of taking brides from cor
porations. On one occasion, it is charged.
he received $1,000, and on another 500, for
stopping strikes. No one knows as to the
truth of the charges, but it is known that
the labor leader has something like So 900
in the bank, and that he has worked so
hard and so successfully for his union that
he has shortened the hours of labor and
doubled the wages of his fellow-workmen.
Although not very important in itself. the
incident shows how very necessary it is for
a young and radical movement like trades
unionism TO have leaders that are above
suspicion. The prejudices against the unions.
especially by the newspapers, since the coal
miners strike of last winter, and it's enc
mics are so powerful and alert of late that
almost every accusation is at once believed
by the people before whom it is Haunted.
So far as the public is concerned unionism
has not yet been accepted. Indeed, il is
viewed with no little suspicion.
Labor men complain that other organiza-
tions not treated so unjustly. If union
ism is so far from being accepted that IL is
blamed for the acts of its individual MEM
bers, who in no way are connected with
unionism as an institution But unionism,
as has been said, is by no means taken for
granted. II is new force in the world. and

treatment that other long-established ipsti-
tutions receive. Facts and figures are all
that il has behind 1t 10 support it.. Labor
leaders are barred from all high social func-
tons and are treated with more or less con-
tempt.
Therefore, 1t is important that all labor
leaders be men of spotiess reputation. Just
now unionism is being searched for its faults
by the most INSCRIPTIONS writers OF the
country. and the faults are laid to the union

been called relative to the trouble between
the iron holders and the employers of the
indianapolis Foundry Company. The differ
ence between the two has been dragging
along for several weeks without a satisfac-
tory conference. The demand of the men
is for union shop, which the employers
refuse TO concede. Several conferences have
been held. and number of the executive
officers have been in the city TO confer with
the men and the employers. but it has been
impossible to adjust the difference The
molders stand firm for the union shop, and
will resort to a strike to gain their point.
The executive council hopes TO settle the
trouble without authorizing a strike.
The lockout of the iron molders in the
Dean Brothers pump works is still on, the
employers refusing to employ union men.
The lockout is the result of the union men
of the shop supporting one of the members
who was discharged because he Joined the
union.

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Cows need some succulent food in
winter to enable them to do their
best.
A dairy authority says: Butter
that has been properly made, will not
stick to the knife blade when it is
cut.
A poor COW takes up as much room,
eats almsot as much feed and re-
quires almost as much care as a good
one. Weed them out.
The man who furnishes unclean
milk for consumption or to the
creamery deserves no consideration.
Unclean milk from one herd may
spoil the whole days receipts.
The Dairy and Creamery recently
received a letter from a firm in Ger
many asking where skim milk can
be bought cheaply and in large guam
titles. The firm making the inquiry
proposes to start a factory to manu-
facture a new by-product of milk
after the butterfat is taken out of it.

FEEDING DAIRY cows.
Care Must Be Exercised If Perfectly
Satisfactory Results Are to
Re Obtained. i

Farmers do not realize the heavy
losses they suffer from failure to
feed cows properly. 1t is estimated
that the average annual yield of butt
ter per cow is 1875 pounds. Every
COW must first be furnished with
enough food for body maintenance;
then whatever she gets over and
milk or meat. If a COW is bred
along dairy lines-that is, if hw sire
is a full-blooded dairy ani1nal-she
will not have a strong tendency to
convert feet into meat and will there
fore convert it into milk. So if she
is well fed from the time she drops
her calf, is regularly MIXED and.
made comfortable quiet and content
ed, the more feed she gets the more
milk she will give, says the Michigan
Farmer.
Under careful feeding and good man
agement the yield of butter can east
ly be raised to 300 pounds a year. We
have about 1000, 900 dairy COWS in the
country, which are yielding about
1,375,00O 900 pounds of butter, which,
at Is cents a pound, amount to $780,
100000. If the 100000 cows were
properly fed, they would produce
100000 900 pounds of butter, which,
at Is cents a pound, would amount to
$495, 000, 900. Allowing for the extra
cost that good feeding would necessi-
tate, there is an annual loss of over
$3.50, 100000 because of poor feeding.
It may be thought by some that such
an enormou yield of butter would
bring ruin to the dairy industry. 1t
would to certain countries and locali-
ties where feed is expensive, but the
farmers of the northwest need have
no fear on this score for they could
and would in a short time be called
upon to furnish European countries
with their butter, as we could furnish
it and make more money than we do
at prices that other countries could
not possibly meet. In round numbers
it costs about twice as much to pro-
duce butter in Denmark as it does in
the northwest. 1t will take many
years to bring the average up to ever
200 pounds per cow, and those who be.
gin now to feed right will have the
benefit of the good prices. Present
prices will be found entirely satisfac.
tory if cows are literally and proper.
ly fed. During the year 1895, unde,
good management, cows returned q
net profit of $40 per head; during-the
year 1896 they made a net profit Of
$50 per head after deducting the cost
of feed; during the year 1897 the net
profit per COW amounted to $3s pei
head, making the average for the
three years $36 per head, without Civ
ing any credit for skim milk and young
stock.

CONSIDER THE CALVES.
Sell Them Now, at a Sta cri1i &C Price
Is shortsightedness Absolutely
IneXcusabIe.

From market reports one might
conclude that there has been an enor-
nous wave of calves sweeping over
the country. The markets, especially
those of the west, have been over
stocked, so that even in the face of
record-breaking beef prices the prices
of calves are lower than a year ago.
It is difficult to believe that there is
an overproduction of calves, and the
rushing of them to market at what
appears to be a sacrifice price cannot
be anything but business shortsight-
edness. The beef supply of the coun-
try must be short, else such high
prices would not rule. 1t is a plain
proposition that the male calf is
father to the steer, and if the calves
are. sacrificed there is no possibility
of cheaper beef for several years.
We farmers, breeders and feeders do
not want cheaper beef, for we see no
more profit in the making of the
beef than the maker of it deserves.
AS for the consumers in the cities
and towns, they will have to make
the best of it. for the nation that
spends nearly 100000, 900 yearly for
beverage liquors can cut down the
drink bill to keep up with the butch
er. But it would appear to be good
business for the raisers of calves to
keep on the farms such calves as
have promise Of. growing into good
beef animals or good dairy animals.
The present scarcity of feeds will not
always continue, and when the new
crops are available for feeding those
who are DESTROYS of making home
consumption Of home productions
are likely to find a shortage of
mouths to do the eating.-W. F. Nc
Spartan, in National Stockman.

Dairy Hint from Germany.

The Germans find that with warm
water the daily quantity of milk is
increased II pound a cow as COM
pared with COWS drinking cold water.
While the cows drank an average of
70 pounds of warm water a day, they
drank but SO pounds of cold. They
found also that cows drinking warn
water consumed three-fourths pound
of food more daily, though they con-
sumed a smaller quantity of dry
food for each quart of milk. The
increase in quantity of water drank
was accompanied by an increase OF
water in milk, with no increase OF
the total solids, which means that
the milk from cows having warm
water had a greater per cent. of wa
ter. in it than did the milk of cows
drinking cold water.
