"God hath been very good.''
IT'S He whose hand nodded the

keep the fountains in their secret
places cool; and it is He who
leadeth up the sun, and ordered
the starry influences, and tenn
pereth the keenness of the frost
and therefore, in the plenty of
the feast, and in the lifting of
the cup, let Him have praise for
the we'll completed year.-N. p.

Chicago Trade Unions
Honey Combed With Spies.

Paul ]. Mas, one of the best known
labor news writer's Of Chicago, has the
following to say in the Record-Herald:
blinded by success and gains made
nthe last year, the labor movement Of
Chicago has permitted itself to become
honey -combed by spies and detectives,
with the result that there Is not in this
city to-day labor union Of a hundred
OF more members which is without its
infprmer, spy or detective. These men
report the business transacted and the
plans Of the union to their employers
OF to the detective agencies by whom
hired. In all cases these men are men,
bers and even officers Of the unions
they report upon. The compensa ton
for their services ranges from a nod
Of recognition and a smile from the
employer to a stated salary. This sys-
tenn is so common that when inquiry
is made about certain men in the la
Dor movement the reply given that he
is policeman elicit no surprise what
ever. One craft, having headquarters
with the elevated loop, has list OF
sixty such spies within it's ranks and
working in that trade. The place OF
employment and the home addresses OF
these men are also on file"

Massachusetts Supreme Court Retrains
Unions From Paying Strike Bene-
fits and From Inducing Men to
Quit. Unions Retain George Fred
Williams Who Says That Injunc-
tiOn Really Amounts to Nothing.

Boston, Feb. 25.-After most stren-
uous efforts employers here have sue
ceeded in inducing a high court of the
state es4toSslend d. itself zsto j the movement
EIHxnre11iy
tained d temporary order aimed at Or
ganized labor. The injunction, which
is directed at the workers efforts to
improve their position in life and OBJ
tain fair wages, is not likely to be
! made permanent, as the men will fight
it bitterly, and lawyers say it is un-
constitutional.
1t is intended to stop strikes and
goes so far as to enjoin the payment
! Of strike benefits by trades unions.
1t was issued by Justice Loring, in
the Supreme Court, and is aimed
specifically at the International Typo
graphical Union, Boston Typographical
Union, No. 13, Printing Pressmen's and
Assistants Union, Allied Printing
Trades Council and Franklin Associa-
tion, No. 1S, and not only restrains
them from inducing any Of the men,
bers of these organizations to enter
into any strike, but also enjoins them
from paying any strike benefits to
those who have left their employment
for any other reason than their own
personal benefit.
The merits of the case are to be
heard by a master at an early date.
George Fred Williams, counsel for
the unions, declares the injunction
really amounts to little, as no man has
left work for any other reason than
his own personal benefit

lined by HI. G. Frick Of Homestead

New York, Feb. 25.-The United
States Steel Corporation is lining up
for struggle with the Amalgamated
Association at the close Of the wage
agreement, June 30. The principal
fight will be among the tin plate work.
ers,. and it will affect several thousands
sheet workers. In preparation for the
conflict the warehouses of the tin
plate plants are being filled to over
flowing. In addition the storage hous-
es Of the American Steel and Wire
company are being packed full of
plates and the Steel Corporation is
securing additional storage space. The
same is true of the situation in Wheel
ing. The American Sheet and Tin
Plate company is running more than
200 mills full time. producing more
than 225 boxes of plates each week
cry little of this is being sold, fully Is
per cent. being stored. If the mills
were kept running at this rate one
year the production would be so per
cent. greater than the greatest con-
sumption In the history Of the trade.
The Amalgamated Association officers
are aware that trouble is in store for
eh members. If the Steel Corporation
can defeat the tin plate workers. the
backbone of unionism will be broken
as fas as it is concerned. The policy
of the company will be to refuse to
deal with union labor in the future. H
c. Frick is said to have outlined the
policy to be followed.

Railroads Grabbing
Bituminous Coal

indianapolis, Ind, Feb 25.-Talk of a
general suspension of mining in In
diana, Ohio, Illinois and western Penn
sylvania on April 1 is already having
decided effect on the coal markets.
Large consumers, such as manufacture
ers, traction and street railway COM
panies and the railroads are Begin
ming to take steps to prepare for a sus-
pension If it comes. 1t is understood
that the railroads have begun to grab
coal again, as they did during the an
thracite strike. The grabbing process
consists Of seizing cars consigned over
their lines. An investigation Of the
complete suspension of mining in the
four states for a period of only two
weeks would close many of the largest
factories, and that if the general sus-
pension hould be continued for an
other ten days practically the whole
industrial life of the city would come
to d standstill.
Characteristic of the age is the
growing use Of mine machines in the
bituminous coal mines Of the United
States. The report of Edward w. Par
ker on the production Of coal in 1902,
which forms part of the annual volume
Of Mineral Resources, published by the
United States Geological Survey, shows
that 5,418 machines were employed in
1900, as against 2,622 in 1893. In a
few Of the States there was a decided
decrease in the number of machines
used, but with the exception of Wyom-
ing, these were states in which COM
paratively little development in the
mechanical production Of coal has been
made. All of the states where the use
Of machines had exerted any signific-
ant effect upon the production prior to
1902 showed substantial increase in
that year.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 25.-(Special
Correspondence.)- e.)-The Citizens Alli-
ance of Los Angeles, recently organ
lied by Herb" George, of Denver, a
tool of Governor Peabody Of Colorado,
and Of Blatherskite Parry of Indian
apolis, has had its first tilt with the
unions of this city. This "alliance" is
composed Of all the union haters who,
for the past two years, have domin-
ated the Employers and the Merch-
H. G. Otis is chairman of the exc
cutive board Of the new combination,
and the Los Angeles Times is its Of
ficial mouthpiece. A few days ago
the Rival restaurant, which. for years,
had been a union house, discharged its
union help, and the proprietor imme-
diately joined the Citizens Alliance.
The Council Of Labor placed boy
colt upon the house, and pickets were
stationed in front Of the place. For
the first day or two the Alliance dis
tributed free meal tickets to hobos,
with whom the city is now flooded.
This proved to expensive ruse for
the union -haters, so they had the
street railway company, the Times Of
flee and a big department store issue
orders to their employees to patronize
the boycotted restaurant, which. Of
course, they did, in order to retain
their jobs. Police have been placed
about the place, their presence attract
ing large crowds about the place noon
hour. -.
Just how long the Alliance can force
the clerks, book-keepers, non union
mechanics and other to patrorize the
boycotted place, time alone can tell.
Organized labor is thoroughly arous-
ed, and the effect will be a more deter
mined fight against the Times.

AN INTERNATIONAL
UNION IS IN The AIR
NEW STONEMASONS ORGANIZA
TION IS A LABOR POSSIBILITY.
Situation at Present IL not Satlsfac-
tory to Some Local Unions. St.
Faul md Minneapolis Unions are
Considering the Question Of Afffli-
alton or of Supporting Movement
for an Altogether New International
Union.

Minneapolis, Feb. 25.-The move
the question Of affiliating the twin
city stonemasons' unions with one of
the existing internationa1s or of FORM
ing another international union, is as
suming definite shape. A joint meet
ing of the St. Paul and Minneapolis
unions was helo In ST. Paul last week,
when a full and free discussion of the
matter was had. The entire session
was devoted to the consideration of
plans for action. At a meeting Of the
st. Paul union last night, committee
appointed by that organization was
given final instructions. It will meet
the Minneapolis committee for a con-
ference next Tuesday evening, when
a definite course will be decided upon.
An International stonemasons' union
already exists. But very few northern
unions are affiliated with it.. Most of
these belong to the bricklayers inter-
national. There is growing senti-
ment among members of the craft in
the twin cities that an international
union embracing in it's membership all
locals of the trade is a necessity and
it is not likely that a result Of the
present movement will be a consolida-
tion Of forces under one general head.
Sentiment locally seems to favor affil-
iation with a stonemansons' interna-
tional
Only about twelve locals in the en-
tire country are "in'dependent," and
two of these are Minneapolis and st.
Paul unions. These unions have a
working agreement and get along well
together locally, but there are many
| reasons why affiliation in an interna-
tional organization would prove bene-
ficiaL For instance, when local

diction and into the territory Of one Of
the unions. affiliated with the brick
layers, it at once becomes necessary
