One clause in the award of the arbitra-
ton board which was given last week In
Alabama is important to miners and their
families not only i'm that State, but
throughout the South. The clause is re-
striction on child labor, over which there
has been much recent controversy. 1t
specifies that no child under the age of
fourteen shall be allowed to work around
ard in the mines of the State of Alabama.
The action is especially important in that
it marks a step towards the abolition of
child labor in the South, a step which
miners have long been attempting to make.
And not only in the mining industry has
the fight been against child labor, but also
in the cotton mills, where thousands of
young children are employed. The remedy
has been sought through legislation, but
the late arbitration board has accomplished
the first real good. Its award applies with
equal force to the cotton industry or any
other industry where child labor is en-
ployed.
The decision of the arbitration board in
Alabama was great victory to the miners.
They accomplished all their ends except
the securing of shorter hours Briefly, the
award of the board includes an advance in
the mining rate of 21a cents per ton on the
minimum base, and 213 cents per ton adj
vance on the maximum when iron is SELL
ing at Sl1.5O per ton. A semi-monthly pay
day, checks not to be transferable. Mine
workers to work more regular when mines
are in operation. Boys prohibited from
working in the mines under the age of four
teen years. Regular headings to be reduced
orl
vanced in the same proportion as the min
ing rate. 1t is believed that the award will
give general satisfaction to the mine work
ers of Alabama. The full text of the award
will be printed next week.

Joseph F. Valentine, first vice president
of the Iron Molders Union of North Amer
lea, will be in Indianapolis tomorrow or
Tuesday. George Gunnery received word
from him Friday that he would arrive the
first of the week without doubt. Mr. VAL
entine has been expected for over a week,
but was unable to come on account Of the
heavy work that he has had to do for the
union. His visit here is to bring about, If
possible, an adjustment of the trouble ex-
listing between the iron molders and en-
ployers of the Indianapolis foundry works
The molders have asked that the shop be
made a union shop and the employers re-
fuse to grant the request. Although there
is no strike on, the best of feeling does not
exist between the two.
Mr.. Valentine is practically president of
the iron molders, the chief executive,
Martin Fox, has resigned, and is only re-
tanned upon pay until the end of the term
Mr.. Valentine is considered one of the most
capable executive officers, and the molders
here look to his visit as the solution of the
disagreement.

The interests of over half million wage
earners were represented at the meeting.
at which 1t was decided to hold conven-
ton in Indianapolis Oct. s. at which the
central body will be formally organized.
Each organization of the building trades
will be represented by not less than three
representatives. At the convention, one ma
tional executive body, representing all the
interests of the building trades and having
Jurisdiction over them, will be perfected.
Likewise plans and arrangements will be
made for local central bodies in the cities
where the trades are organized The regime
is for local troubles among the building
trades to go to the local central bodies and
not to the Central Labor Unions or like
organizations; and in case the local central
body cannot adjust the trouble, it shall go
TO the national executive body.
BY this system. the building trades will
be self-supporting and self-governing and
will not have to appeal their questions to
a body where the majority of the voters
are not acquainted with them but will
turn them over TO board, which will be
able TO act upon them with the best under
standing and serve to a better end the needs
of the various unions.

There is no necessary hostility between
labor and capital. Neither can do without

other. Capital is labor saved and mate

with the virtues and vices of men, and
each wishes at times more than his fair
share Yet, broadly considered. the interest
Of the one is the interest of the other, and
the prosperity of one is the prosperity of
the other. Where wages are high, capital
and the conduct of business are not with
out their reward; where the industry of the
country is carried on by broad-mindec,
far-seeing, adventurous leaders, the re-
muneration Of labor increases even to the
common laborer on the streets.
THE trade unions stand for the prin-
ciple of united action and for the policy OF
a living wage earned under fair living con-
ditions. In union there is strength. justice
and moderation: in disunion, nothing but
an alternating humility and insolence, a
state of idustrial despotism tempered by
futile and passing revolutions.

ton. self-government and free speech for
the dignity and self-respect of the working

BUILDING TRADES.
Difference OF Opinion Concerning
Movement Recently Started.

The recent meeting I'm this city of ma
tioual representatives OF all the various
organizations in any way connected with
the building trades, for the formation of a
central executive body and a general alli-
ance, is causing more or less skepticism
among the prominent labor men of the city.
If not of the country. In view of the fact
that the unions of the building trades are
represented in the American Federation of
Labor as well as the National Building
Trades Council, where their questions of
settlement are appealed, the full purport
of the action is not too clear to outside
labor leaders. On the very face of the
movement, they say, ii is a drawing apart
into an association of their own. And for
the reason that the building trades have
not been perfectly satisfied with the treat
ment they have received from the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, il is believed by
many the movement has been begun. Nat
urally il is not looked upon with favor by
members of the Federation and the Ma
tional Building Trades Council. who do not
care to- see two executive bodies in the
field. And along with this members of the
Central Labor Union look with misdoubt
upon two local central bodies.
REASON FOR THE MOVEMENT.
On the other hand. the building trades men
state that. although their movement is not
a reflection on the American Federation of
Labor or antagonistic TO the Building
Trades Council. IL is for their own good and
the betterment Of their own organizations.
They say they expect some objections from
the other two organizations, but they can
not judiciously oppose the action. looking
towards a more complete formation
The meeting was held Wednesday aud
national representatives OF about ten of the
building trades organizations were present
The object OF the conference was stated In
the following reasons:
II. The regulation and control OF affairs

mistakes. notably in interfering with the
right of building trades men to manage and
conduct their own business. This. of course,
applies most particularly to ourselves as
whatever of the building trade industry
have admitted that our brotherhood has
been treated in most scandalous manner
on the jurisdiction question by the officials
or the big labor combination, with head
quarters at Washington. Notwithstanding
this truthful statement We should not give
encOura Sement to any movement that
would destroy it's usefulness as a trades
union organization. 1t has done excellent
work in organizing the unorganized in all
sections of the country and through its eff
forts much good legislation has been en-
acted in the various States of the Union
In labors interest.
1T has, however sadly neglected the
unions of the building trades and allowed
our interests to be jeopardzed and inter-
Tered with by every individual who has a
theory to advance that, in his estimation,
Is the real old thing.
The indiscriminate granting of charters
TO dual organizations and disturbing and
causing trouble to national unions of build
Ing trades men is something that is cans
ing the officials of national unions of the
building trades to seriously stop and think
II 1t is not time that something should be
oone TO protect us from invasion and in
the end the ultimate destruction of our trade
union.
The encouragement given to central
bodies largely composed Of men who know
| nothing Of our needs and are jealous of our
power and influence, to harass and annoy
us, is anything but encouraging and the
sooner building trades men close ranks and
give those people to understand that we
can run our own business, the better for
their good and our own. The national build
ing trades unions must get together not for
any selfish purpose, but as a measure of
safety. We are all Of one family: we work
side by side on the great and small struc-
lures erected daily throughout the coun-
try and we scarcely know each other We
are too far apart and the other fellow
knows 1T and for that reason annoys us.
] Were we together in a defensive alliance
dual organization could not exist in our
trades and the meddler would have to take
a back seat.

but a lover of BIRDS But whatever he did
was done with that odd mixture of gravity
and mirth which will ever make interesting

Unfortunately, this wonderful interesting
and decorative bird is not found in the east

West he is represented by two species,
the black-billed and the yellow-billed mag

owing chiefly to his conspicuous voice and
plumage, which announce his presence to
every gunner who comes his way, he is In
danger of total determination. The former.
however, is a fairly common bird over a
large part of the West, and I shall con-
fine myself chiefly to a description of him
and his habits.
The black-biled magpie is about twenty
inches long, including his tail. which takes
I'D rather more than half the total length.
The greater part of his plumage is glossy
black, with bronzy metallic reflections, but
the lower breast and belly are white, and
the scapuars, being also white, form two
conspicuous patches the wings. Long
streaks of white the inner veins Of the
primary feathers show most conspicuously
when the bird is in fight. Altogether he
is one of the most striking birds to be
seen in North America. That he has not
been exterminated is no doubt due largely
TO his intelligence, for. like his relatives
the crow and the jay, he is bold enough TO
take advantage of everything which is
useful without being dangerous, but crafty
enough, as a rule, TO keep out OF trouble
Another point in his favor is that he can
eat almost anything, and, all things being
equal, the animal which can eat the great
est variety of food will survive the longest
