NO FIGHT IN PROSPECT
Not Believed that American Labor
Union Has Organized Here.

Little stock Is taken in local labor
circles in story in a Minneapolis pa
per to the effect that the American La
Dor union had organized union in this
city, thus obtaining a foothold to fight
the American Federation of. Labor.
The fact that a few railway employees
in st. Paul got together few weeks
ago and organized a branch union,
means nothing, in the opinion of we'll
Informed labor-union men. for the rea-
son that the rival organizations have
had an understanding for some time
and are now negotiating to- the end that
consolidation may take place or a
clude the possibility Of the American
Federation and the Western, Labor
union carrying on protracted labor
war. =
The action Of the American Fedora
tion in assisting the strikers Of the
Western Federation Of Miners, which
is q part of the A. L.. T., has done much
to bring about the temporary truce,
and this organization is favorable to a
peaceful solution Of the existing diff
ferences, and. being large majority of
the membership Of the A. L. u, their
wishes in the matter will be factor in
the settlement Of the questions at issue.

MINNIE A GOOD HOST
Hold Carriers and Building Laborers'
Convention Well Entertained,

While the attendance at the third an
nual convention of the Hold Carriers and
Building Laborers union is not as large
as might be desired, it makes up in en-
thusiasm what it lacks in numbers. The
convention is success from every
standpoint, and the manner in which
the Trades assembly, the Building
Trades council, the Commercial club
and other organizations have cooper
ated to make the stay Of the delegates
in the city pleasant memory, reflects
the greatest credit upon all.
Entertainment Of all kinds has been
provided for the delegates and the
week will be brought to a close by a
grand rally at Alexander's hall tomor-
row evening, under the auspices Of the
Building Trades council and the Trades
assembly. No. admission fee will be
charged and organized workingmen and
their families are invited to be present.

gram.

Judge Webb's candidacy was not pro-

his high sense Of official duty will not

Fashion in Boards.

English history IL rich in examples Of the
way in which the fashion in boards has
changed from time to time. The spies sent
out by Harold reported that the Norman in
vaders did almost seem to be priests. be-
cause they had all their face and both their
lips shaven." which Is confirmed In the
Bayeaux tapestry. It was to distinguish
themselves from their hated conquerors
that the English exaggerated the length OF
their hair, calling down upon them the
thunders OF the church, which decreed that
those who wore boards should be excom-
municated while living and not prayed for

as boards In Henry rs reign: Men con-
tended with women In their long haires,
and when this decayed through old age

long-haired flock knelt for his blessing he
would whip out a knife and cut on as many
OF the tresses that lay under his consecrat-

Butler wrote his "Hudibras." though. ideas
seem TO have changed, for we find the
somewhat hating lines:

Cotton Exporters Suffer.
The top-Iofty interest rates have been es-
pecially hard on exporters OF cotton. They
have had to pay the highest going prices
on the exchange required to handle the
commodity while In transit. and the tax
was really burdensome. The big banks
which make a speciality OF loaning money
on bills of lading have been finty hearted
during the last ten days in their dealings
