S. 81 . MAY OPEN SCANDAL
Questions Asked by Lawyer Relate to
PoseibIe ExtortIons by Stone
Masons' Ora anization.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Before Judge
.Newburger of the court Of general SEES
sions, Lawrence Murphy formerly
treasurer of the Journeymen Stone
Cutters union has been placed on
trial for grand larceny.
The specific charge is that Murphy on
May l, 1902, appropriated $12,794, all
the funds of the union. Some of the
questions John F. Mcintyre, Murpny's
counsel asked in examining the tales
men, which were regarded as important
and significant, We're:
II the evidence during the trial of
this case shows that it was customary
in the Stone Cutters union to levy fines
and penalties upon master masons,
owners, builders and bosses, would
this prejudice you against, the defen-
dant?''
If it is shown that through the
threats and fear. these owners and
builders have given up to persons in
the union large sums Of $4,000, $780,
900, $4,000 and $4,000 from time to
time, would your verdict. be influ-
enced?' =:
t. could you still return an: unpreju-
diced verdict continued. Mr.. McIn-
tyre, If we prove that persons Connect
ed with the union were in the habit OF
meeting in a saloon to arrange plans
for extorting money from owners,
builders and construction : companies,
and then divide among themselves,
these large sums surrendered to them
to prevent strikes or to bring them to
an end?"

Evil influences at Work.

From the Savannah News:
Are the times accursed? One can
scarcely pick up a newspaper without
seeing an account of some terrible trag-
edy, and it has been so since the be-
ginning of the year. It was estimated
some two weeks ago that up to that
time more than 1000 persons had met
violent deaths in the United States
since January /, and hundreds have
been added to the list since then. Rail-
road wrecks. foods. cloudbursts, forest
fires, mine explosions, elevator acci
dents, murders and lynchings have fol-
lowed each other in rapid and terrible
procession, until it would seem that
some evil influences were at work to
make 1903 memorable for it's bloody
record.

Nina they Succeed,


Mine they Succeed.
EvELETI, Mimi. July 2s.-(special
to the Labor World -There are three
bona-fde trade unions on the Mesaba
Range. These are the first to be es-
tablished in this locality. At Hibbing
last fall the carpenters formed a union
of fifty members. It is a. growing Or
ganization and gives much promise OF
success. Last week two organizers
from Chicago, representing the Nation
al Brotherhood Of Steam Shovel and
Cranesmen, which organization Is aft11-
ated with the Longshoremen's national
union made tour of the ranges. They
stopped at Hibbing and organized THE
Bteamshovelmen in all Of the soft ore
mines on the Western Mesa;ba~ Chas.
Bickford was elected president ana
VIM. Henry of Chisholm was made Sec
rotary. Tho next stop was at Eveletn
where the strongest union of steam
shovel men in the Northwest was
formed At this place Lynus Fuller
and N. J. Paulson were elected pres1-
dent and secretary, respectively.
The organizers, r. D. Dolan and
James O'Neill, both typical steam
shovel men, had some very interesting
and exciting experiences while visiting
the mines. They were not there very
long when their purposes were made
known to the company officials. Sew
eral times they were escorted from the
Mines and were they not such big,
courageous looking fellows they would
have perhaps been cruelty dealt with.
It is said that this is the initiatory
work for the complete organization OF
the wage earners on the iron ranges.
Already men in other branches of toll
are seeking the services Of organizers
and the State Federation Of Labor will
be asked to contribute to the work.

WHERE HE GOT EVEN.

From the New York Times:
It was in the smoking car Of a Long
Island train when the computers were
going home. The bachelor met his
friend, the young married man, and the
two found a seat together.
"Old man." said the bachelor, II have
never put much stock in the truth Of
the pictures one sees Of the suburban
husband, but, hang it, if you are not the
very type of them today I'm a Dutch
man. What in the world are you doing
with all those bundles? d. you have
to lug home as many every day?'
The benedict carefully bestowed the
half dozen packages he carried in the
rack and under the seat before he re-
piled:
presents for my wife. Tomorrow is
her birthday"
presents for your wife," asked the
isn't from the tobacco shop in Nassau
street, why, can't read a label any
more, that's ALL"
'You read correctly" said the bene-
dict solemnly. And there is pair Of
trousers in that bundle, and derby hat
of the new shape in that one, and-and
pincushion In this one. You see I had
birthday two months ago. My wife
gave me a dandy present; lovely little
pair Of opera glasses with a long pearl
handle. Her friends thought she looked
real cute when she went to the theater.
Last Christmas she gave me a very nice
gold ring, set with garnets and :rubies
It was little bit too small for me. She
was real sorry, but as the ring just fit
ter her, oddly enough, why, we decided
that$We woul DIN aiaee = ~ M
Tomorrow liz my Wife's birthday. I
am giving her a pair Of trousers; made
| to my measure, so that If she doesn't
like the pattern, why. it, can still be

| Of those for her. Sometimes she goes
l. riding, and a nice derby hat would look
we'll on her, SO bought her a derby
hat; If it is too large for her, why, I
may be persuaded to wear it.
90 The pincushion Is a real gem. Oh,
I'll give her lovely surprise this year.
Well, here's my station. Goodbye. Per-
haps you had not better drop in tomor-
row, at least not until Mrs. Benedict

And he gathered up his bundles and
departed.

Noise!

From the Chicago Tribune.
The modern world, having plunged
into a civilization which, with it's fac
tories and railroads, seems to promise
a continual crescendo of noise, has at
last discovered a fact which the med
iaeva1 world was fortunately unable
to discover. This fact is that piercing
and deafening noises, prolonged through
the twenty-four hours, are not only Of.
fensive to the ear, but injurious to
the health. It becomes necessary, there
fore, for the modern world to combat
loud noise just as it combats heavy
smoke and noisome odors.

THE PORTS or the SOUTH.

According to the Atlanta journal,
the increase Of business at the south
ern ports during the past few years
has been phenomenal, and continues
at an undated rate. For the eight
months ended February 2s last, there
were sent out from New Orleans 22,-
0oo, 900 bushels OF grain, while New
York exported but 4, ,000, 900 bushels,
Boston only 9, SOC, 900 and Philadel-
phia 8, SOC, 900. The lead Of New Or
leans on the great ports Of the east Is
increasing every year.
The exports OF New Orleans, Balti-
more and Galveston I'm the eight
months referred to almost double
those OF New York, Philadelphia and
Boston. - - >zs4 >-.@zss.4s
A continuance OF the present grain
motement will cause the shipments of
grain at Galveston ta exceed those at
New York, thus confirming the sl-
ready existing supremacy OF the guilt
ports. srsz=. .
The attempt to explain the situa-
tion on the theory Of car shortage on
the east and west line will not do.
The lack Of cars is felt quite as much
on the latter as on the former lines.
The southern ports are gaining
quite as distinctly in the exports OF
cotton as in grain exports.
In cotton exports during the months
ending February %, the southern
ports outranked ali the rest. In the
period mentioned, 3,7oo, 600 bales we're
sent abroad form southern ports,
while only $50, 900 bales were dis
patched from northern ports.
The ports OF the south are handlinp
a greater part OF the whole countrys
shipping year by year. This Increase
applies both to the export trade and
to the distribution of goods from the
ports to the interior Of our own
country. x ~~.s-. =
