CALCIUM cAReiDE's NEW USE,
Acetyiene Generator in Timed Meat
 Cans for Heating Purposes.

Heating timed meats with calcium carbide that was previously packed in lower compartment of the can is an experiment said to have been adopted by the Russian army. Immersion in water promptly produces the desired ef- feet. the liquid entering perforations in the bottom. The generation of acety- lene gas and heat ensues. If the trick really be practicable. it should be of ser to explorers and sportsmen who travel in light marching order. The construction of a can of special form and the addition of the carbide, how ever, would add materially to the ex- pense of the meats, and the exposure of such commissary stores to a damp air might result in premature warming. Corroborative testimony would seem to be in order before the story is accepted.

LABOR DAY.

One of the newest legal holi-
days, made so by the statues of
the various states in America, is
that day designated as Labor
Day. To the toiling millions of
American citizens it should mean
a day of rest or rejoicing of peace
of pleasure, where all labor
ceases at least one day in 365 and
takes a rest, but in this great
rushing age of commercial craze
and avarieious greed man forgets
to rest or even grant his numer-
Gus employees a few hours rest.
hence the necessity of statue
compelling them to grant rest
day. 1t is true that the labor
through the organized unions
have done much to elevate and
give more of the comforts of life
to. the workingman than any other
organization. While the unions
have often been very detrimental
to many workingmen, they have
often been managed by selfish,
unscrupulous men who had selfish
motives and desires. Then the
organization has in the main op-
posed the admission of colored
men into the union, but now in
later days when it is demonstrate
ed that the colored labor could be
profitable used in all trades and
skilled labor the union was then
forced to enlist the colored labor
er to join the union, not because
they wanted him or desired his
association, but for policy or
force of necessity they have
recently taken him as quasi
member. While Labor Day as
yet does not mean as much to the
colored laborer as we hope it will
in the future. Last Monday in
their annual labor parade in our
own city there were fewer colored
men seen in line than former
years or than should have been.
Why is this? Even the Italian
had several representatives, and
our race with nearly 800 1aborers
in Des Moines had so few in line
of march. This ought not to
have been. AS intelligent men
we must unite and assimilate our
selves among all classes of the
American people.
