AN OPEN SHOP DREAM.

The current issue of Worlds
Work, magazine published in New
York, contains an article entitled
''The Fight for the Open Shop" writ-
ten by one Isaac F. Marcosson. Tho
employers fights for the Open Shop
in various large cities have all been
successful, says Isaac, and organized
labor is now on the defensive instead
of the offensive. The situation on
the water front of San Francisco re-
ceives some attention and is here.

"A vast business is done on the
water front. Ships come and go
from a hundred ports. One day q
big ship came in from Tacoma, where.
there was a big strike among the
stevedores. Its cargo had been load-
ed by non-union men. The San
Francisco stevedores refused to un..
load it.. Then the shipowners said:

IMPORTATION OF STRIKE

Writs Have Been Issued For
Contractors In New

Department Of Commerce and +
Labor Directing
Prosecution.

Time will tell whether anything will
come out Of it or whether any one VIII
be punished, but at this writing, says
the Machinists Journal, writs have
been issued for the arrest of a number
of contractors in New York for violat-
ing the contract labor law. According
to the story the United States district
attorney of New York issued the wrftss Z:
after an investigation covering a per-
iod of eight months, which investigation
proved that certain prominent manu-.l
facturers and contractors, through an
employers association, conspired to
violate the contract labor law by im-
porting workmen to work In this coun- 8!
try during labor dispute. The pen-:
atty Of conviction is fine Of not less
than $1,000 or more than 10000, or im-::
prisonment for not more than two
years.
1t II understood that the Department..
Of Commerce and Labor is directing
the prosecution, and has, through it's
own agents. assisted by operators OF
the secret service prepared the case
against the accused. This has involved
many months Of investigation and also
men, English tile-setters. at Ellis b-i
land. 1t is upon the evidence of these
four men, backed by an array Of cor-.ss
roborated depositions, that he govern
ment chiefly relies. &.
The evidence in the case goes back
to the lockout by the Tile, Crate and
Mantel Association, an employers ass
siciaticn, Of the men OF the MOSAIC and
encaustic tile-layers and helpers Of
New York and vicinity on August sixth
Of last year. To make the. lockout -

GREW TREE FOR HIS COFFIN

Probably the oldest living settler in Jackson county is Ember Mason, whose farm and home lie on the Big Blue river between Independence and kansas City, He was born in 1S1': and was brought to Independence when d child of five years and Lai lived in the county ever since. When he cleared up the place ou which he now lives he left in the mid de of one field small walnut tree. The tree was then about two inches in diameter, but perfectly straight and symmetrical. Often in the years which followed he was asked why he left that tree to shade valuable land. and his inyarable answer was that he intended to live until that tree was big enough to make into boards for his coffin.
 About year ago Mir Mason had the walnut tree, then an enormous and handsome tree. cut down and sawed into planks. It showed beautiful grain and the boards were perfect. These boards are now carefully put away in dry place and are seasoning. and from them Mir Mason says his coffin is to he made. He is now ST years of age. hut is not yet ready to send the boafde to the cabinet maker. Jackson Examiner.

A PATIENT LISTENER.

There is no more attentive and pa tient listener in all the senate than Mir German of Maryland. His atti tude, whenever he takes his seat on the minority side of the chamber, is invountarily that of attention to what Is going on. If any senator be eX- pounding his views to empty seats and desires someone to address his remarks to- there is always the demo- cratic leader, quietly taking in all that Is said and never obiecting to being used as an oratorical 1;ngrt. siG4JE3
 There are other senators. to he sure. who attend the sessions diligently . who consider it part of their duty to he on hand promptly to make a quo rum. But no one of theln knows more in detail about what is said or compli. mcnts more speakers by hearing them to the very end. Counting the period Of his service in the chamber years ago as a page, no one probably has beard greater variety or a greater number of senatorial speeches.

 likely that Ten lchi would be here but for the fact that he has passed the soldiers age limit. He has. however. n clause in his contract that permits nm to cancel on seven days notice in case the eXigency arises for mobilizins all available Japanese regardless Of age. The performance given by Ten lchi consists of legcrdemain and mar. velous oriental illusions, particularly mystifying being his production of water from fire and his juggling of spouting columns of the liquid in all sorts of ways.

 It's chief object in life has been to destroy all the beer and wliskey that it could. It does not consume the liquor, but bores holes in the tops of beer kegs and whiskey and vinegar barrels. causing the beer to sour anc allowing the contents of the packages to escape. It is believed to have caused very large losses to brewers and dis. tillers.
