FRIENDSHIP.

Her kindness, when of kindness sore oul
need,
What tongue. can tell?
Her soothing accents, balm to hearts that
bleed,
Our tears dispel.
Her very silence breathes a sympathy
Deeper than any utterance can be,
Our griefs to quell.
All that is highest, noblest, best in us,
She looks to find:
Aught else. aught base. she makes us
emulous
To cast behind:
But when achievement lags far in the
rear
or effort. women, then, alas. we fear,
Is all too kind.
When joy Is ours. that joy were less than
naught
Without her smile:
Hard-earned success, with sorest struggle
bought,
Were not worth while;
And life itself, were she not here to share
Its pleasures and its pains, its mirth and
care.
Were drear exile

NON-UNION MEN FORM
A NATIONAL LEAGUE
Character Of the Organization Ex-
planned to Secretary CorteIyou.

Secretary Cortelyous of the Depart

terday interviewed by the Rev E. NJ.
Fairchild, of AIbary, y. y. who ex-
planned 70 him the purposes of the
movement recently started in Elmira,
y. =. 10 organize a league of non union
men. Secretary CorteIyou declined TO
express an opinion in regard to the
merits Of the plan Mr.. Fairchild mere
" explained the situation and did not
demand recognition. This will come
later when the department viii naturally
have TO recognize the organization, as It
will other unions.
The chief characteristics of the new
organization are: 1t does not mean to
build up strike breaking bureau such
as is now operated in England: it will
cooperate with the employers TO ad-
vance the industries of the country:
strikes are to be done away with. To
accomplish the last. men of standing
in the community will be elected to
honorary membership in the OTganiga-
tfon and viii have right to the door,
though no vote BY their advice, it is
hoped. employers and employees can be
brought together. II this proves IN
avaiIug the men who are unsatisfled
can seek positions in other places and
those VINO are satisfied can remain.
The league will demand thorough
scientific research by the labor bureaus
/ of the country. They will oppose the
appointment of union men to the head
of such bureaus only If they are in
! capable OF proper scientific research
and inclined to advance their labor
unions through the bureau.
The organl l@ation has been incorporated
in New York.
