of an organized gang. 1t is estimated
that the value of the booty stolen will
reach five figures.
Managers of the hotels have en-
gagged additional detectives in an eff
fort to apprehend the thieves. who
have 50 far eluded the police and the
private detectives.
One of the largest thefts was that
of several diamond rings, two pairs of
opera glasses and an overcoat from
hotel
Forty or fifty grips have been stOl-
en- from the Palmer house, according
to the police. within the past month.
False keys are said to be used by
the thieves, who watch for the guest to
leave his room and then enter and

In several instances grips were bold

raphers in the field. It made good prog
ress for short time, and then there
arose internal dissension, which re-
suited in the organization of the other
order in Pittsburg, in December, 1902.
Both unions claimed to be the regu-
lar organization, but the latter was rec
ognized by the American Federation of
Labor and granted charter. The A..
F. of L. recommended. however, that
both bodies should unite, and confer
ence was held between the officers Of
each at Washington. and the present
organization was formed, with about
5000 members. 1t at once secured q
charter from the A. F. of L. under the
new name, and campaign of organiza-
ton was started. At the present time
there are 81 local unions in as many
cities affiliated, and the membership is
close to 10000. S. ]. Small is presi-

German Meat Inspection Law.

The hardships from the German meat
inspection law have been made more
severe by the regulations ordained by
the German federal diet in regard to the
entry of foreign meat and bacon. AS
these regulations and the excessive fees
for examining the imported articles
make their entry well-nigh impossible.
citizens have petitioned the imperial
chancellor and the federal diet to
amelioFate the regulations by reducing
The inspection fees and accelerating the
examination of meat-stufis. The petit
TONERS assume the position that the
chamber Of commerce of Breslau took in
it's petition to the German government
on the same subject. The wholesale and
retail meat dealers, and more especially
the people Of Germany, suffer from the
inhibitory tendency Of the regulations
and charges.
