Apples are coming into the market. bu,
In such limited quantity that a quotation

able that the market price will be from

ones. The yield this year was abundant
but the recent high winds in this locality
removed hundreds of barrels Of appes
from the trees, practically spelling them
as merchantable fruit. 1t is not likely
that this will effect the price as farmers

At present there is no union OF

many organizations.
In Chicago there are about 800
eligible clerks in the 100 or more ho

Thirty thousand men In various

been unable to make peace with the
employers. They had nothing to do
with the strikes which caused the
lockout, but were the victims OF 9TH

POPE Plus DECLARES
FOR ORGANIZED LABOR
Favors the Labor Movement
That Lightens the Burden
Of Workingmen.
Workman Should be Protected
in His Dignity as a Man
and a Citizen.

New York. Nov. 17.-Signed by
Mgr Merry Del Val, papal secretary
OF state, the following letter to the
International Society for the Protec-
t1on Of Workmen is being circulated
among New York labor unions:
my sublime master, the pontiff,
desires me to express to you that,
like his predecessor, Pope Leo KILL,
he is In hearty accord with all move
ments intended to benefit workmen.
THE pontiff, In particular, desires
1t understood that he favors with
all his heart any Tightening OF the
burden OF the men and women who
work: with their hands. Work should
be SO regulated as to conform to the
physical ability Of the workmen; it
should be regulated to tit the sexes: {:
it should be regulated to permit of
the stoppage OF all work on Sundays.
The workmen should be protect
ed against employment and employ
ers that have no regard for his dig
nifty as man and a citizen. That
endangers his morality and interferes
with his family life.
"The holy father trusts that you
will devise peaceful means to realize
the above ends. II you do, your ef-
forts will be. crowned with success,
and all good governments will regard
them with sympathy. On his own
part. the pope will be happy to. as
sist you with advice and prayer"
