1t is believed. says the report Of the
Massachusetts, Bureau Of Statistics OF
Labor. that there were no labor unions
ia the colonies, although a strike OF
journey-men bakers is said to have
occurred in New York in TAI. What
ever of associated effort was among
workmen at this early period was of a
temporary nature, having a single
purpose in view, and when this was
accomplished whatever compact
existed was then dissolved. 1t was
then the custom to call general
meeting" whenever matter of trade
Importance presented itself. Such
calls were generally signed by one or
two men of recognized influence in
the trade, and the meetings were, as
rule, held in private homes. They
were organized by the election of Off
GERS. statement was made of the
purpose in calling the trade together,
and after discussion resolutions we're
adopted embodying the views of those
present on the question presented.
When the meeting had decided
what the attitude of the trade was to
be, all those present, if willing to do
SO. signed an agreement to stand by
one another during the difficulty.
Many, if not all, of the strikes in
colonial times were undertaken with
no more of an organization than this.

FOREIGN LABOR FOR DIXIE

The first Systematized movement OF
immigrants from Europe and foreign
countries to the South through
southern ports is expected to begin
about December l.
In view of this fact it is understood
that the railroads of the South have
agreed to fix permanent reduced rate
TO travellers Of this class.
All of the immigrants who have
heretofore found their way into
Florida and other southern state S
have Travelled by way of New York
but under the new plan they come
direct to the ports of Charleston, Sa-
vannah, Brunswick. Norfolk and
jacksonville.
The widespread action of the
planters and manufacturers through
out the South to cooperate for
securing a better class of immigrants
will undoubtedly result in bringing
many employees Of this class from
foreign countries into the southern
states.
The Georgia-Florida Sawmill
has already gone on record
as advocating the securing of imni-
grants and other organizations have
signifed their intention of doing like
wise.

LETTER FROM FAR WEST

The following excellent letter was re-
ceived in this city and kindly handed to the
REPORTER for the benefit OF our readers.
TACOMA, WASH, Oct. p, '06.
Having been four months in TIA
coma of the great Northwest" no
doubt you would like to hear nv
opinion of things 10 general. In some
respects | was disappointed in this
country, but in the main it comes up
to the idea | had before coming out
here The climate is delightful in
summer and is pleasant enough in
the winter to all those who have no
throat or lung trouble or rheumatism.
! said pleasant. Perhaps ] had best
modify my statement and say that
the climate in winter is healthful and
pleasant to those who like it. | don't
like it, so far as | am able to Judge
from present indications. 1t is so
damp in the houses during the rainy
season that clothing often mildew if
packed away. The only safety from
being wet is TO always carry an UNI
brella, rain coat and rubberS. 1t may
be as pleasant and sunny as can be
and in very few moments rain will
be falling. Even the old residents tell
me that you never can get used to
the weather enough to say with
any degree of certainty that it will be
either fair or foul. So il would seem
as if the weather man needs to be
exceedingly wise here.
On the other side, it is certainly
pleasant not to have to think of heavy
clothing and tons of coal as we do in
old Wisconsin. Most families heat
the whole house with range or cook
stove. Summer underware, or very
light weight wool can be worn all the
time, Good common sense clothing
Of medium weight can be worn the
year round with very little dis
comfort, summer or winter. The
summer season is very pleasing and
Tacoma is then a bower of roses,
Roses are blooming now but of course
not so plentiful. One discomfort in
Tacoma is that in common with other
coast cities, the fog is sometimes very
dense and often is not gone until
nearly noon. OF Tacoma as a city |
agree with most other people that il
is pretty and nice place TO live-if,
one has money. OF course to GER
tain extent that is the world over,
but especially here, for most things
of necessary living comes high; rent,
eatables, doctors, etc. Clothing is
not so very much higher than in Wis
conSin. Pennies are u scarcity here
and very little used. Gold is the COM
monty used coin whenever possible.
If you ask for pound OF meat and it
should be Il or Is cents the butcher
will nearly always give you 10 or Is
cents worth. And the grocer gener-
ally does the same.

OUR ROYAL HERITAGE
BY the Rev. Charles steizle.

By the Rev. Charles Steizle-
We cannot get away FROM this great
fact-that every man stands absolutely
alone, just as though he were the only
man in all the world. While we may
Think zen masse," and work in multi
tudes, and pray by regiments, and
slug in batallons, and trade by cor
porations, nevertheless, there are
times when the individual stands out
alone and when his selrhood asserts
its existence.
This fact brings tremendous respun-
sibiities, but il also has its cOn1penSa-
tions. The greatest thing in the
world is man. Not crowd OF men.
but Just a man. Made in the Image
IF God, with His attributes. with HIS
Spirit-breatbed life and power, he
may gaze at the mountains and feel
that he is greater than they. He may
look out upon the seas and say."l am
your master"
Because of this, we may take
Courage. The thought Of it will
"brace up'' that chap who is down In
the dumps. 1t will straighten up tie
back If the fellew who has been a
drudge for SO long that he has for
gotten that he is "a SOD of the King, y
with all the royal heritage OF his
Father.
Has somebody deprived him of his
rights? Then by all powers OF his
Fathers Kingdom, let him stand up
sLraight.as real man. and win back
that which is his by virture of his
relationship to the Creator of it all.
never forgetting, however, that IMAM
does pot live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of his
mouth"
