ADJUSTMENTS.
AT THE METROPOLITAN.
Novelties GalereHein s"Mr: DooIey or


the Empire Circuit"
The name of the "Brigadiers" is all
that is symbolical in burlesque
way. The we'll known company bear
ing this name will be the opening at
traction Of the season at the Met
rcpolitan, beginning Sunday after
noon, Aug. 2G, and if present indica-
items count for anything the "Briga-
dlers'' will more than create favora-
BILE impression. The "Brigadiers'
this season presents rafting, funny
and Withal interesting musical come
dy called Mr.. Dooley on the Empire
Circuit" The comedy is in two acts
with the lCEale in New York. It is a
real sensation teeming with humor
and frolic Of the clean and whole
some sort. 'Mr. Dooley On the En-
pire Circuit" is the effort Of Paul
Quinn and the music and lyrics were
contributed by Frank d. Bryan and
Charles H. Smith. There aye fifty
people in the company selected es-
and the stage settings are new and
novel. Mr. Tom Healey plays the
role Of Mr.. Dooley in a manner that
reflects excellent credit on the judg-
ment Of Manager Cromwell who Sc
lected him. The chorus girls who
know how to sing and dance and
wear stunning costumes becominyly
They form bewitching adjunct to
this most pleasing frivolity-and
make an appropriate setting for some
of the comedy gems, musical numbers
and original specialties introduced
during the action of Mr.. >Dooley on
the Empire Circuit" I'he Brigadiers'
olio is as follows: Jack! Symonds, the
MAN OF Ease who delivers a clever
1nonologue pit, the Sisters Maginuel-
Mullini, who are lady instrumental
lists Of the first water. Sherman and
Fuller, known by the alliteratiye cap
ton of "Tumblers, Bumps and

talent to advantage; Lester and
Moure in a pot pourri of funny bits
and surprises called "a Day ct the
Beach, and the Wahlrrieds, six We
men, who dance in an alluring unique
and sensational manner. The VAIL

The musical numbers offered by the
"Brigadiers" are classics in their

LABOR IN POLITICS.

The signs Of the times indicate
that the Workingmen are ready to
concentrate, SO let the political boss"
beware. Too long have the working
men been lied by the nose," so to
speak, voting for whomever the boss"
pointed out. The laboring people
were so hard at work making money
Tor the capitalists they had no time
to read and study. They failed to
realize that the power of the ballot
lay within their own keeping. But
they are awake at last, and their
votes will go from now on to elect
men Woh will represent the people
the laboring people,
The machine and bossism must go,
for the wage earners, the backbone of
the commonwealth, believe in pure
politics, and that is what they are out
for. The political boodler knows
right we'll what the organization of
these political clubs mean that are
sprlnging up all over the country. He
knows his days of graft are number
ed; that machine rule must go. This
condition of affairs has been slow in
arriving, but we give hearty thanks
that it is here to stay. The masses
are demanding representation and
they are bound to have it, Wherever
it is possible let the wage Garner be
elected, for who can so we'll represent
us as one from our own ranks? The
laboring man has looked down long
enough, thank God; he at last looks
up.
There will be something doing in
st. Louis county at the coming cleo,
ton, it we are not mistaken.

WHAT TO DO WITH CONVICTS

The Labor News Of st. Louis has
started crusade against the leas-
ing Of convict labor by the, state of
Missouri to be used IN competition
with manufacturers who employ free
labor. A series Of articles by Mr..
Geo. Il. FCSle is making it very plain
that the taxpayers Of the state are
being mulcted to support the con-
Vlcts, While q few political grafters
and handful Of manufacturers are
waxing tat on the profits Of convict
LABOR. Eie urges that convicts be
employed in constructing and main
tanning PUBLIC roads that will be
passable at all seasons of the wear,
thereby making it possible for farm
ers to reach the markets IN winter,
and thus preventing many farm pro-
ducts from reaching abnorna1ly high
prices when roads are impassable
and a reaction caused by an over
&lutted market with a return of dry
weather. This feature Of the good
roads movement would be beneficial
to the residents Of towns and cities
as we'll as TO the farmers, for each
depends upon the. other, and mutu-
upon the condition. of the country
roads.
II good roads were generally main
tanned throughout the states, Mr.
vogue asserts, an impetus would be
given to the sale Of automobiles, BIZ
cycles, carriages and horses, for ira
vel by all these methods of convey
ance would increase with an extern
sion Of passable roads to points now
generally inaccessible. But the great
est benefit would lie in the fact that
the markets would be more steady,
because the mark citing period would
be extended throughout the winter
instead Of being confined to two or
three months in the fall, thus pre-
venting business stagnation in many
Industries during the winter season
For years labor organisations have
tried to prevent the employment OF
convict labor in direct competition
with free labor, because the fair en-
Dloyer is placed at a great disadvant-
age when teh state supplies his COM
petitors with labor at one-fifth . or
!, one-sixth the wages he, must pay, and
as an extra inducement furnishes

A FAKE LABEL.

Teh fastest thing on them arket,
and, we regret to say, marketed by
a firm which has been using the
Blue Label, is the "Trieks Label" 1t
is product of the Independent To-
bacco Manufacturers Association.
1t is production that resembles the
genuine Union Label in size and
color, and has round or postage
stamp perforation. The. design
printed on the label does not re-
semble the Blue Label, the wording
being as follows: Manufactured by
a Member Of the Independent To-
bacco Manufacturers Association, u.
81 This wording surrounds the cut
Of spread eagle in the center. If
this is not deliberate attempt to
initiate the Blue Label, we are at a
loss to define its intent. This ''Trick
Label" appears first on a brand Of
tobacco; it appears on a pice of long
cut known as ''Level Head" and is
made by L. Miller & Son, of New
York. Organized labor is warned to
inspect closely every package of to-
bacco they buy, At but short dis
lance the two labels look exactly a.
like, as the reading matter on both
is small, and at distance one is
not disiinguishable from the other;
hence our request to inspect every
package Of tobacco that you buy
very closely. Do NJ be fooled into
buying a package by accepting the
dealers statement that it is union
made. See that the genuine Blue
Label is on the package before you
accept. Remember this one brand,
"Level Head" and if you happen to
come across any others taht bear
this ':Trick Label" we will appreci-
ate it highly if you will communicate
with us at once and send the wrap
per of the package.-The Tobacco

by. the convicts, and no one would
be hurt by their competition. Every

LABOR AG,TATOR NECESSARY.

LABOR AGiTATOR NECESSARY.
The most abused man in the ranks
Of organized labor is he who tries to
better the conditions of his fellow
workers. 1t does not matter how sin

the time he loses; and it is often the
case that the man who does the most
work in this line is the less thanked,
not 10 saypaid. Employers call him
an agitatcr. and assert if it were not
for him they could hire cheaper help.
Employers 90 not stop to think that
the poorest paid people in the land
today are the officers of labor organ
