with by the employer now so energetic
in it's advocacy. Let us take 1T Tor
granted that the nom union man has
the right to seek work wherever he
will, do that work whenever he Will,
work or not work for whomsoeyer he
WILL and to work or not work under
any conditions suitable to himself, In
what way does his right transcend that
of the union man. The right of the
non union man to cease work whenever
conditions do not suit him, is exactly
the same right claimed by the union
man when he refuses to work With the
non union man. 1t is simply a case of
| conditions not being to his satisfaction
and courts have repeatedly conceded
| him that right of refusal to work with
laborers not to his satisfaction. The
right of persuasion TO induce employers
| to discriminate between union and nom
union men is not even denied.
The open shop to the non-uI1ion man,
| in the intents and purposes of the pres
ent individual liberty advocate, means
the closed shop to the union man, and
the final disarmament of the unions that

| terests OF the wage earners.

so low a standard not to perceive the
/ Injustice of securing benefits TO which
he is not willing to contribute an effort
of maintaining or improving. then the
union man certainly has just ground

Cause of LOckiaw.

LOckjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive SO
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is reused to activ-
ity and produces the most virulent
poison known. These germs may be
destroyed and all danger of lOckjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the
injury is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to heal without mat
uratiOn and in one third the time
required by the usual treatment. 1t

Falling Wages and the Cost
Of Food.

Of Food.
Daily States.
In spite of the fact that the
Republican newspapers assert
that "the country has never been
so prosperous" not a day passes
without their own columns con-
tanning reports of reduction of
wages in almost every one of the
great Industrial trades, or strikes
for better wages. For instance,
the press dispatches this morn
ing state that a new schedule
of wages and readjustment of
working hours were put into
effect in the plant of the United
States Steel Company at Joliet,
III. The reduction of wages
amounts to from 20 to 40 per
cent and the hours of labor have
been increased from eight to
twelve. While all the changes
possible are being rung on the
prosperity cry there are thou
sands of idle workingmen in
every large manufacturing city
in the country and those who are
fortunate enough to have employ
ment are working for wages
much below the figures of two
years ago. And in the meantime
as wages go down the cost of
food steadily goes up. Since the
end of the meat cutters strike
the Beef Trust, which through
Mr.. J. Ogden Armour, declares
that it is "emphaticly for Roose-
welt, and will be satisfied to have
him continue in Office because it
can be pretty certain what he
will do" has advanced the price
of meat nearly two. cents a
pound.
The increase in the cost of
living, attended as it is by
falling wages, is getting to be a
very serious matter with the
people and may have much to do
in determining the result of the
presidential election in Novem-
Der. but one thing is certain, and
that is, there will be no process
sion of men with full dinner
pals" seen marching to the
polls this year. The New York
World has called attention to the
fact that it cost the people of the
United States on an average
$34.H per head for food in 1897,
when the Republican party re-
turned to power at Washington,
and this year it costs $52.58-an
Increase Of over 81 per cent.
The World shows by carefully
considered figures that it takes
81. 81. to buy as much food as a
dollar would buy seven years
ago, and it says:
"A man earning a dollar a day
was better off then. as far as
that part of his living expenses
went, than one earning $3.50 a
day now is. And according to
Commissioner Wright, of the
Department of Labor, food alb
serbs over Al per cent of the
total expenditures of the average
family.
THE increase of $17.87 per
head in the cost of this item
represents an increase of $50. 36
in the expenditure of the or
binary family of five. Adding
$16.O6 for the enhanced cost of
clothes we find that a workman's
wages have to stretch $1O7. "A
further now on two necessary
items Of expense than they did

Toso'o Account of thesLast Attack Up-

Tokio, March 24.-Admiral Togos report of the fifth attack on Port Arthur made on March 22, reached the city tonight as follows: The com bined fleet acted according to the plans Two flotillas of destroyers were outside Port Arthur as instructed from the night of the 21st until the morning of the 22nd. Although during this time our destroyers were under the fire of the enemy they sustained no damage. The main fleet arrived eff Port Arthur at 8 o'clock on the morn- ing of the 22d. I dispatched a part of the fleet in the, direction of Pigeon bay and ordered the battleships Fuji and Yashima to make an indirect bonn bardment against the inner side of the port. During the bombardment the enemy's ships gradually came out of the harbOr. and at the time when the indirect bombardment stopped, which was about o'clock. A number of Russian ships were seen, five battle ships, four cruisers and several de- stroyers. We believed the enemy was trying to make movement of their fleet to draw us near the forts. The enemy's ships shelled us indirectly, and many shells fell near the Fuii, but our ships sustained no damage. About o'clock our vessels withdrew eff the port"
