is not devoid of character: far from 1T.

of its existence II has probably as
much to its credit as any organization
of labor in the country. On con-
sentative estimate, when the reduction
OF hours of labor is taken into account,
1t may be said that the wages OF
men in the train and yard service con-
trolled by this organization have been
ization was formed. 1t has agree
ments with every railroad in the coun-
try with the exception of four, with
an aggregate mileage OF 1000 miles
Although the organization has insur-
anee features which protect its mem
bers, 1t also maintains a defense fund
of 5000 900, to be used in case strike
becomes necessary.
The name Is broad enough to include
in membership any person connected
with the running or handling of rail-
road trains. and there are those who
of the other railroad organizations Will
be absorbed by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen. No such step is
contemplated by the fficerstnemselyes,
as they work in perfect harmony with
the other brotherhoods. but 1t may
come about, nevertheless. with the
more thorough organization OF labor.
P. H. Morrisey. grand master OF the
Brotherhood of Railroad rrsinmen. Is
admittedly one of the greatest labor
leaders in the country. His orders to
the men on the Wabash road last year
when a federal injunction was issued
restraining them from going on strike,
brought forth the approval OF the
whole country 1.-THE law must be
obeyed," was the substance OF his or
ders, and the men remained at work
until the Injunction was dissolved, and
by that time the management Of the
road decided the trainmen meant bust
ness and granted the demands. His
speech at the Denver convention last
year was much commented on, when
he said he hoped the day was not far
distant when the contract breaker
would be looked on with as much dis
favor as the strike breaker.
The headquarters OF the organiza-
tion are In Cleveland. II has 705 To-
cal unions, with membership OF some
thing over 10000. The amount paid
out in death and disability claims dur
ing the month Of April last was slol.-
1885. Since the formation of the or
ganization 1t has paid out in benefits.
$9.460.11s The amount Of insurance
carried by the members In the or
ganization is approximately $4,000
600.

1he most interesting article in the

OF what is now known as Manchuria
was occupied by Koreans and was a
portion OF their territory. II is not
known how far north their rule ex-
tended. but there are traces of Korean
architecture as far as Liaoyang, which
is 100 miles from the present Korean
boundaries At this early period the
Manchu element consisted OF few
powerful tribes, who. though OF the
same general Monaghan stock, pos
sessed many chronological points sum

great Chinese race which occupied

Wild country where young braves

The history of the Manchus Is one Of
continued and rapid growth. From 8

the great plains OF western Manchuria
until they became force which ever
