An editorial in the current issue of
the American Federationist, under the
heading "Trade Unions to Be Smashed
Again." discusses the latest move of
the. socialists to annihilate the labor
unions. 1t is proposed to call a con
gress to decide upon steps to be taken
to oppose unions, and the call is signed
by some twenty-siX individuals who
have from time to time been more or
less active in all movements IN oppo-
sition to organized labor. -,
The name of one Minneapolis man
appears upon the call. This is w. ).
Bradley, said to be the local represen-
tative of the Western Labor union, a
socialist organization which has been
trying to gain foothold here. w
The most interesting thing in con
nection with the movement, from a
local point of view, is that the names
of President Meyer and Secretary hay.
wood Of the Western Federation of
Miners are among those on the docu-
ment. When it is remembered that, the
Minneapolis and ST. Paul unions CON
tributed literally for months to aid
the cause of the Western, Federation
in it's recent troubles in Colorado and
elsewhere, it will be seen why the local
uniOnlStS are dlSguSted with the turn
affairs have taken. ~
Representatives Of the Western Fed
Grafton came here when the Colorado
strike was at it's height, and upon the
representation that the federation was
friendly to the American Federation Of
Labor secured the hearty financial sup
port of nearly every labor union in the
twin cities. Thousands of dollars We're
raised for the strikers and whenever
any member of union had the temer-
ity to question the advisability Of aid
ing what lie termed a rival organiza-
tion he was at once assured that the
miners were doino all in their power
to come to terms with the American
Federation of Labor Negotiations
were started with this in view, but
nothing ever came Of the move.

ADVISE AGAINST MOVE
Steamftters Urged Not to Desert Inter-
national Body,

Altho the local steamftters' union
long ago decided to affiliate with the
international of. the United Association
of Plumbers, officers of the steamfit
ters' international have not given up
hope that the union may be induced to
remain where it is. A special meet
ing of the union was held last evening
and John. Mangan, associate editor of
the official paper, was present. He
urged the members to renounce their
determination to sever connection with
his international, and pointed out some
things which he thought might be all
Involvement to the local men to at least
remain independent of the plumbers.
Final steps in the utilization of the
steamftters with the plumbers have
been hanging fire for some time. In
some quarters word has gone out that
the decision of the latter to enforce a
as that of the steamftters, will clinch
the matter.

Eorax in the United States.

The boraX fields of the United States
are mainly in the desert dry lake" re-
gons of southern California. though
deposits are found also in Nevada and
Oregon. BOraX was first produced in
the United States in 1864, at RoraX
Lake. California. The boraX was con-
tanned in the water o. the lake and was
obtained b. evaporation.
The saline crusts of the so-called dry
lakes or boraX marshes of the MohaVe
Valley were next mined for borax. and
ard afterward, about in 1855 work was
begun on the beds of cOlemanite. or
borate of lime. in San Bernardino Co..
Cal, from which most OF the bora X
mined in the United States has since
been obtained.
The amount of crude borax produced
in the United States in 1908 was 34,430
short tons. valued at 1861 400. The
production in 1902 was 11,404 short
tons OF refined borax, valued at $2.447.-
GA, and 2G00 short tons Of crude boraX,
valued at $9l 900, a total of a0.004 short
tons, valued at $2,53S.614. OF the re-
