A steady rain set in Saturday

twice that amount fell. The

OVER THE DIRECTORY.

from the new YORK tribune:
The scene is a drug store in busy
part Of Broadway. When the action
opens a pretty woman is demurely
turning over the leaves Of the city d.
rectory.
Enter an irascible old man, who
wants to find the address Of fellow
who owes him money. He stands and
waits impatiently, filling in the time
by coughing SUCCESSFULLY.
A business man in a hurry follows.
He wants to know where John Brown
lives. It is in the next street, but he
has forgotten the number. He falls in
line.
Then man who seeks some city Of
fetal, but knows nothing Of hts office,
except that it closes within a few min
utes, joins the ranks of the walters.
Half a dozen others who wish to
consult the directory gather around.
Still the woman placidly turns leaf af-
ter leaf over without any evident in
tention to decide whether the name
she seeks is Brown, Jones or Walker.
When there are fully half a score
tuning impatient people in line, enter
a newspaper reporter. His mission
will positively admit Of no delay, so
he politely offers to assist the woman,
suggesting that his experience may
tend to save time and lessen her labor.
When he asks her what she seeks. with
a sweet smile Of thankful appreciation
she says: ~ @.:> ,''

LABOR STRONGER THAN EVER.

LABOR STRONGER THAN EVEN
No doubt there was g. time when
the short sighted, btgoted employers
thought unionism could and would be
crushed by injunctions. damage suits
denunciation and similar weapons.
They ought to know better now.
What have they accomplished? La
Dor Is stronger than ever.
The unions have not dissolved; the
policy of labor has not changed.
Mistakes have been made, and they
will be avoided.
But all the essential features of the
unionist movement have remained un-
impaired. .,.
The assaults have failed; they have
been repulsed.
Would it not be wiser and more
profitable for employers to abandon
futile methods and try the policy OF
fair play, honest dealing and friendly
relations with their organized en-
ployes and the latter's duly elected
representatives?
Sooner or later this course will have
to be adopted by them, and our effort
is to bring it into full and general op-
Grafton at the earliest possible time
and thus avoid many unnecessary con-
troversies and contests.-Samuel Com

A mighty impulse is going to shake

Interesting Comment from the
Standpoint Of Sailors on
Sinking Of Ships. 7
Recent Lake Superior Storms
May Stop Lengthening Of
All Steel Steamers.

Following thu. recent disastrous
storms on Lake Superior there has
been considerable comment among ma
rine men on the matter Of freight
steamers carrying passengers. 1t has
been assertedly that the Seamen's I'M
| ion would protest against the prac-
tice in vogue with steamship companies
in permitting passengers to ride on
freight boats.
The Seamen's. Journal, the official
organ Of the Seamen's union, has MOTH
ing to say on this question, but it
furnishes osme interesting matter on
a review Of theNrecent Lake Superior
storm which cost the lives OF at least
81 men.
Speaking Of steel freighters and their
strength In bad weather the Journal
says:
Since the advent of the steel freight
er on the Great Lakes, some seven
teen years ago, but six hav been lost
through stress of weather, the latest
being the Sevona. The western Re-
serve, one Of the first steel vessels,
broke in two on Lake Superior be-
tween Marquette and Whitefish Point
| fifteen years ago. She was command
ed by Captain Peter Minch. Of Cleve-
land, who had almost his entire family
| On board with him at the time. All
| Of these were lost, and only one man,
Harry Stewart. reached shore to tell
the tale Of the disaster. Stewart il
now a captain and commands the steel
steamer Brazil.
In the same year the F.. W. Gilcher
disappeared somewhere near the head
Of Lake Michigan. and neither ship
nor crew were ever heard from again.
It was generally conceded that she
also broke in two. The Canadian Pa
cifc Railroads passenger and package
freight steamer, a Clyde-built vessel
brought to the Lakes, was driven on
the rocks Of Isle Royale, Lake Super
ior. about thirteen years ago, and broke
up completely. In this disaster the
lives Of fifty persons were lost. The
next steel boat to meet her doom was
the Hudson, a. trim, new package
freighter. She was sighted in Lake
Superior apparently: disabled and no
trace Of her was ever found. It was
supposed something went wrong WIN
her machinery. The lives Of more than
twenty went down with her.
The last on the list is the Sevona,
which also marks the loss Of the first
heightened vessel. In some quarters
It.: is asserted that her breaking up
means the end Of charging steel boats
on the lakes. However, an expert man
on shipbuilding says the disaster will
have. no effect whatever in adding
length to freighters. He Rays the work
will 60 right on. It has been pointed
out that there was good and sufficient
reason for the breaking up of the
sevona, and marine men say that any
vessel now afloat aid placed In the
game position would have met the same
fate. All reports Of the accident agree
that the Sevona ran about half her
length on the ledge Of rock. Thus the
after half was subjected to a great
strain, which it is said no boat could
have wdthstood. The Etruria was lost
this season through a collision due to
dense fog. but all hands were. saved.
This boat was, like the Iosco and the
Jeanette. the property Of the Haw-
| goods.
