q. ii. WEBB DEAD.

Death has again come into our midst,
breaking up family by taking its head,
@. H. Webb, who died Sunday morning,
November Is. Mr., Webb was born at
Centerville, Hickman County, but came
to Benton County when a small boy ana
has lived in and near Camden ever since.
He was married to Miss E. J. Grssome
February 8, 1871 From this marriage
were born nine children, seven of whom
with their mother survive their beloved
father. MIR. Webb was an honest man,
a good citizen, who was respected most
by those who knew him best, devoted
husband to his blind and afflicted wife,
and kind loving father to his children,
whose loss is doubly sad because of the
blindness and delicate health of their
mother, who is Frustrated with grief.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Webb was a strong
we'll man, busy with preparations for a
new house in which he had planed to
spend his old age. Monday morning, the
I'd instant, while moving saw logs one
rolled upon him and bruised his lower
limbs badly. The back, of his head, too,
was badly hurt, which injury it is sup
posed preCipitated his death Within
two days erysipelas attacked his face and
soon spread to his throat. He soon lost
consciousness, which he never fully re-
gained. His suffering were intense, and
many wondered that he bore it so long
The burial took place at Camden Gene
terry Monday afternoon. May he rest IN
peace and may the Lord bind up the bro
ken hearts of sorrowing wife and weep
ing children, is the wish of the writer.

IMPORTANT TO MOTHERS.

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands Of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher. This has been necessitated by
reason of pirates counterfeiting the Cas-

is a crime not only against the proprie-
tors of Castoria, but against the growing
generation. All persons should be care,
full to see that Castoria bears the sigma.
ture of Chas, Il. Fletcher, ifthey would

IT has been estimated that nine
novels has total sale of 100000
copies. This means 100000
pounds of paper. We are assured
by a manufacturer of paper that
the average spruce tree yields a
little less than half cord of wood,
which is equivalent to 500 pounds
of paper. In other words, these
nine novels swept away 1000 trees.

TOO MANY GLASSWORKERS
Is What Union Men Fear From
"Open" Factories.
Fred Bishop States cause Of Present
Strike Three Fifths of the Glass
Workers Learning Trade in open
House-WaDt to Control Number Of
Apprentices-Na Side.

Most people who are not derectly
interested 10 the glass business, do
not have a very clear understanding
of why the Union glass workers at
The Economy Tumbler Company's
and Seneca Glass .Company's plant
are out on stubborn strike. They
have refused to work because the
companies have declared their in
rention of running sopen "
The reasons for the strike from
the Union stand point were stated
to the New DOMINION yesterday by
Fred Bishop, who has the thing in
charge. He said 1--WE object to I'M
ion men working with non union
men because it tends to disorganiza-
ton. There are only two factor
les in the country in which it is done.
The unions allow their men to work
in these not only when work is scarce
and can not get in union houses.
Further, we let them go in because
they nave chance TO organize the
labor there and make them a part Of
the union. Every time there is
strike at these factories we get lot
of men into the Union. And we don't
want to many men in the trade"
There are eleven union factories
and two non-union where that make
the same line of ware made at the
Economy and the Seneca. There are
at Mount Pleasant and Titfin. Three
fifths of all the men in our union
learned their trade in these non
union houses. There is the real
secret of our strike. The non union
houses take in as many apprentices
as they like. They teach them the
trade in year while we require two
years. This increases the number
of men in our trrde and is sure to
cut down the price we get for labor
In order to keep up the price, we try
to keep down the number of workmen
and non union or open houses are
antagonistic to this. II the supply
of glass blowers gets beyond the
demand, the price of labor is sure to
fall. In Union houses the number of
apprentices is limited"
This then is the cause of the pres
ent strike in Morgantown. 1t is
1t is simply one of a number of eff
forts to keep down the number of
skilled glass workers to keep up the
price of labor.
The manufacturers side of the sit
uation is easily started. They want
to run their factories to suit them
selves-give employment to union
and non union men alike, pay as
much as any other factory, take in
as many apprentices ashley like and
recognize no authority outside them
selves in determining their matters.
