AFFAIRS OF MACHINISTS
Year Of International Association Re
viewed by President.

Because of a change made by the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
the last report of President James
O'Connell covers period of fifteen
months: The president first comments
upon what he calls &C. the open shop bug
aboo' and iniunctions. He then takes
up the work of the general executive
board and the vice presidents and bust
ness agents. Thirty-eight business
agents are being carried on the rolls of
the grand lodge. The grand lodge con-
tributes SO per cent Of their salaries
and expenses, which amount to $21, 500
year. One hundred and seventeen new
lodges were organized and six lodges
dlsbanded. The total number of mem
bers admitted by charter was 5000.
Eleven apprentice lodges were organized
and ladies auxiliaries to the number of
ten were formed. One of the latter, No.
IL. is the Minneapolis auxiliary.
MosS interesting of all is the chap
ter on strikes. The president says:

organization have we been involved in so

 Mexican Herald United States Consul Le Roy at Durango has submitted a very interesting report report to the department in Wash ington on the cotton industry of Mexico, and adds to the interest bygiying some figures for the year 1903 which are official. These fig ures show: Factories for spinning and weaving cotton, 1l3; for W eav- ing and stamping cotton 10; for solely stamping cotton 3; total cot ton manufacturing plants inMexico 132. The consumption of cotton in Mexico during the year 1903 reach ed 30,263 tons. The number of pieces of cotton stuffs of all classes and qualities manufactured during the year was II, ,606. 6.105; length of cotton stuffs in yards, 348,183,0 ,050; spindles in operation 632,601; looms 20.271; stamping machines 35, valued at $4,007 300, United States currency, in which these machines were purchased and paid for. There were 36,149 persons em- ployed in the cotton factories. The sales of the products of these fac- tories during the year 1903 amounted to the equivalent of $12,323,4421S in United States currency.

ACROSS THE BORDER.

AANAAA0I AA&lAtAs ttA0tlVl received from Torreon, CoahuiIa, is to the effect that the Torreon smelter is to have a 75-ton concen- trating plant on the San Diego mine at Santa Barbara very soon. The mine, which is under the man agement of Col. J. w. Fender, has four steam hoists and two gasoline hoists and pumping plant which handles 400 gallons of water per minute. Very large ore deposits are being developed in this mine which Is crossed by the Mexican Central branch to Santa Barbara.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: The ore shipments from the Santa Eulalia mining camp is expected to reach at least 10000 tons this month and 1t may run up to 50,000. Last month the shipments reached about 36,000 tons and the output will run considerably higher this month. In November the Chihua- hua Mining Company and the Potosi Mining Company, practical ly one concern, shipped about 26,- GOO tons and will probably in crease the amount this month. This concern is probably the heav- fest tonnage producer in Mexico, except Mapimi. 1t is commonly believed that Parral is the heaviest producer of tonnage in the state, but according to the Parral Miner, that camp shipped last month only $500 tons. Even allowing that the reduction plants of Parral dis trict treated as much more, still Santa Eulalie beat that camp two to one in tonnage.
 Chihuahua Enterprise; It is not generally known that the Mexican Federal Government has already taken an active interest in the matter of national irrigation, for which President Diaz suggests the issuance of $70,000,000 in bonds. The Government now has a party of engineers at Lerdo, Durango, making surveys for putting in an immense dam to store water for the wonderful Laguna cotton dis trict. The object of these engin- eers is to select dam sites back in the mountains. One has already been selected in the Gallon de Fernandez Y Puerto Patron, point sseventy-three kilometers from Ler- do, in q box canon. It is stated that dam can be built there at reasonable cost and which will hold an immense amount of water. Water power can also be obtained to develop electricity for maufac turing plants in Torreon. Other dam sites will, no doubt, be selected.
 Torreon Enterprise: The Ameri- can property at Parral, belonging the Dale Brothers and Felix Me- Donald, has been bonded by P. H. McDermott, of Los Angeles, and W. N. Cannon, of San Diego, Cal, for $25, 1000, gold, and operations are to be started in thirty days. Thus far the mine has produced in ex cess of $100,0O0 gold, above the water level and is in good condi- ,tion. It is reported that the Gug- genheim Exploration Co.,, has E. 0.

BARRY ATTACKS GEORGIANS.
BRIGADE Commander Declared Situa-
tIon at Camps Was Disgraceful.
CnI GravSnn's SharU ReDIV.

The military officials of the state
are much wrought up over some as
pensions cast on the second Georgia
provisional regiment that participated
in the Manassas manoeuvers this year.
General G. a. Barry of Atlanta, the
United States army officer command
ing the Department of the Gulf, has
issued an official report on the acts OF
his brigade during the week at Ma
nassas and has words of praise for
every regiment except the Georgians.
He says:
THE Georgia regiment was not up
to the standard of the others. AL
though it did no more work or march
ing than the .other regiments of the
brigade, it failed to turn out to the
review. The sanitation of it's camps
was disgraceful and showed marked
inattention on the part of all concern
ed, especially its officers. 1t is a pro.
visional regiment-all the officers and
men of which were never together be-
fore and never expect to be again. 1t
has neither permanency, tradition nor
history connected with it, and such or
CARNATIONS should never be sent to
manoeuvres.
Lieutenant Colonel W. L. Gray son,
who was in command of the Savannah
troops at the Manassas manoeuvers,
speaking of the criticism of the GeOr-
gia troops made by Gen. Barry, says
that in view of Gen. Barry's recent
recommendations that negro troops
man southern forts, he was not sur
prised at his criticism; that his charge
that the camp was unsanitary is un-
true, that the camp was as clean as his
headquarters, that the Georgia regi-
ment was given the short end OF the
horn as far as camp site was concerned
and had the poorest in the whole
camp, that General Barry's conduct
was not above criticism in that he
cursed continually before the troops
without the slightest apparent cause
or provocation.
The Dawson company was not in
this regiment.

The Usual Thing.

She wrought with patient loving pride
A garment for her fiance;
The back was short, the sleeves wer
wide,
And worked with silk in colors gay.
She fondly hoped that when he unused
In idle hours with his cigar
He'd wear the coat while he confused
The things to be with things that are.
And so she sent it by express
That he might get it Christmas days
Bestowing on it a caress
Before she sent it on its way.
He took it from it's coverings
And held it upside down, and then
He said he wondered how such things
Could be acceptable to men.
He tossed it in a closet dim
Among some slippers badly mired
And wrote to say she'd sent to him
The thing that he had long desired.
