UNION BOOKB|NDERS
RESENT CRITICISM
Declare Open Shop Question at Big
Printery Is Merely
Theory.

The publication yesterday of a criti-
cism by ar employing book binder
against the bookbinders employed in
the Government Printing Office, who
were accused of being the principal
movers behind the new scale for union
bookbinders III private employ is being
freely commented on at the Government
Office today.
The Government binders resent the
suggestion that there Is any impro-
priety in their participating in the af-
fairs of their local union because of
President Roosevelt's 'so-called open
shop declaration in connection with
the Miller case.
The bookbinders say that Miller IS the
only craftsman employed in the office
who is not an active union man, and
that the Office is an open shop in theory
only, as every department is conducted
according to union rules and customs.
1t IS pointed out that this status is
maintained without difficulty. as the
employees prefer to continue their con-
nections with the respective unions, and
freely contribute the small amounts COT
lected In dues for the good of the
crafts in general. While no disposition
Is shown to evade the Presidents order
in this respect, the union men, print
ers, bookbinders, pressmen, machinists
etc, are said to be unanimously of the
opinion that the open shop rs applied
to tine Government Printing Office can
never be more than a theory. because
the office Is filled with union men who
are covered by civil service regulations
aid II Is comparatively easy TO bring
into the fold the few non-union ap-
pointees as they come into the office.

MORE MACHINISTS
THAN THERE is WORK

Helpers at the Naval Gun Factory
who have served their apprenticeship
period are seeking TO be rated as ma
chinists and given employment as such
In accordance with an order issued at
the breaking out of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.
A delegation of Spanish war veterans
who are interested in the welfare of the
boys called upon Captain Pendleton, su-
perintendent OF the gun factory, several
days ago. and requested that such of
the helpers at the yard as had finished
their apprenticeship be advanced to the
rate and pay of machinist.
Captain Pendleton declined TO change
the status of the helpers, claiming that
the only time when they had a chance
to secure machinists appointment was
during the war, when there was a great
rush Cor ordnance work. and when the
list of machinists had been exhausted.
AS is now the case. there are more ma
chinists at the yard than there is work
The delegation has since taken the
matter up with the department, but
whether they will accomplish anything
of benefit to the helpers remains a mat
ter of conjecture.
The rule has never been revoked. and
Just now presents a rather curious and
awkward affair, which the Secretary of
the Navy will be obliged to act upon.

All the marty expressed themselves
of the opinion that the encampment
would be one of the most enjoyable ever

that he believed everything pointed to

THE OLD ELM TREE.

Down in pasture by the side Of a
little run, with it's giant root system in
contact with perpetual moisture, stands
a sturdy water elm, one Of the most
beautiful and symmetrical trees which
we ever saw. 1t has always grown
alone and has ever had it's fill Of air,
light, sunshine, moisture and fertility.
Grim and resistant to the fury Of the
winter winds, plant and Obedient to
the sweep Of the summer storm, it has
lived hundred years and become a
landmark for the community. The first
robin Of the spring voices his Easter
melody from it's topmost branch; the
oriole swings it's hammock nest on its
outermost dropping twig; a flock Of
noisy blackbirds will swarm in its top
on their migratory flight; under its
gnarled roots, left exposed by the wash
Of the water In the run, woOdchuck
makes its home; it's outrageous shade
has long tempered the fierceless Of the
August sun for the cattle, and two gen.
erations Of men have sought its shelter
for summer picnics and holidays. The
lightning, the cyclone and the iconoclas-
tic hand Of man have all spared this
grand old tree, and it bids fair to bless
the world another hundred years. Pal
sled be the hand Of any man who
would smite an ak in such tree as
this.

POCKET GOPHERS,

There is something strange in the
special liking which pocket gophers
have for working all along the rights of
way Of the railroads. They not only
honeycomb every inch of soil on the
sides Of the tracks OH level ground, but
also work on the steepest slopes and
quite frequently work right under the
roadbed itself, the roadmaster of one
Of the main trunk lines which cross a
western state telling US not long since
that the most serious thing which he
had to contend with in maintaining a
good level track was the burrowing Of
these little pests under the ties, caus
ing the track to settle. 1t will quite
often be noticed that while the right of
way of road is thus worked the field
just over the fence is entirely free from
them. We can only explain this fact
on the ground that the type of vegeta-
ton which grows along these rights of
way, being largely weeds Of large root
systems, affords the little pest better
ration than he can find in the cultivat-
ed fields Railway men would be glad
to find out some method Of eXterminat-
ing them.

A GROWING COMPETITION.

The most serious commercial problem
which confronts the country is the
mercileSs competition being waged by
the large department stores, which are
springing up by the score in all the
larger cities, against the merchant in all
the country towns. From small be-
ginning, largely aided by the establish
ment Of the rural mail route system, the
trade Of the farmers Of the country in
all staple goods is being diverted from
the local merchant to the city store
The work is being done by a most per-
Sistent system of advertising and quot
Ing of prices and by offering certain
staple articles below cost as bait. We
were in county seat town of over
1900 people not long since where we
were told that the business interests of
the town had become completely para
lyzed as result of this sort Of unfair
competition, and the town gave not a
little evidence Of the dry rot which had
struck it. 1t is an entirely new condi-
ton which the country merchant has to
face, and perhaps the solution will be
found in the founding of the depart
ment store in the country town, the
cons oldating of number of the varied
commercial interests of town under
one management, such concerns to be
links in chain of such stores, thus in
surfing cheaper buying, lower freight
rates, greatly lessened expense ac-
count connected with selling and dis
tribution, more intelligent and liberal
advertising. This plan has been very
successful in one town which we know.
We know of two others where it is 60
ing into operation this season. 1t Is ut
terly useless to appeal to the ethics of
the problem, to that spirit of loyalty to
home institutions which is supposed to
be one phase of our patriotism, when
sewing machine, buggy, bill Of gro
ceries or a suit of clothes can be bought
for Is cents less money in the city than
it can at home. On all matters of trade
men are thoroughly and often stupidity
selfish. The only way is to meet such
competition on purely business and
selfish basis.

HE COLD NOT DO 1T.

An aged man had come to the point
where he was compelled to sell the
farm upon which he had lived the best
part of his life. On this farm was a
fine grove of trees which had been nur-
tured and cared for by him and which
were his special pride. The purchaser
desired to cut off this grove and use
the land for other purposes and hired
the old man, who remained on the
farm for time after selling 1t, to cut
this timber during the winter. Along
toward spring the new owner came to
the farm to see how the timber cutting
was progressing and found to his great
surprise that not tree had been cut.
Asking the old man what the reason
was, he said that he had ground up
his Ak good and sharp, had gone to the
grove and trimmed out some of the I'M
derbrush, but when it came to the cut
ting down of these trees which had so
long been his friends and hearts de-
light he simply could not do it. And so
another man had to be found to do the
work. All those who love trees can
easily sympathize with this old man.

Through carelessness and oversight a
nuisance of no small dimensions has
been permitted to be placed on many
of the highways OF the west in the
extension of the telephone lines in the
matter of the setting of the poles out
into the highway as much as four to
eight feet when they should have been
set exactly on the fence line. AS it
is, they form an obstruction to the use
of the moving machine in keeping the
highway properly cut and trimmed.
The telephone companies should be
made TO reset these poles where they
properly belong.
