Industrial Notes.

Some OF the garment making contract
ors of Boston are attempting to re-estab-
flsh the l0-hour workday. The Boston
unions were informed last week. and they
Immediately took steps to prevent any ex-
tension of the hours of labor from the
present nine-hour day.
After a conference at New York be-
tween John Mitchell and Samuel Com
pers, it was announced that Gompers
had pledged the support of the American
Federation of Labor TO the mine workers
organization. Mr.. Gompers held that all
contentious of the miners were justified.
The Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers has refused it's sane
tion of the strike Of 300 skilled men of
the Republic Iron and Steel Company,
due to the discharge of puddler for GO
ing to a saloon during work hours. This
means that mill owners will be allowed
to dictate regarding the drinking of en-
ployes when on duty.
Boston carpenters district council
adopted the working card of the grand
council of eastern Massachusetts last
week. The north shore district council
also joined the grand body, absolutely
completing the organization for that vi
cinity. 1t now represents an aggregate of
about $4,000 men. The effort is to be
made for uniform wage for the entire
district.
John A. Flat, organizer Of the A. F.
of l.. in Canada, reports his recent work
in Montreal, Que: As result of organ
ization among the workers in this city,
wages have steadily increased. This 10
especially noticeable in the building
trades. holders and shoe workers have
also advanced very materially. Among
the unorganized crafts the hours of toll
are long and the wages are shorter. Skill
ed trades have been steadily employed.
Eleven firms have conceded increased
wages to shoe cutters and only three re-
main to be settled with. As yet the re.
tail clerks are not organized and as 3
consequence are working long hourA
Laundry workers, leather workers, metal
polishers plateis and brass workers have
organized. Printing pressmen, electrical
workers and fur workers are about to
form uricns.

Chicago, However, Cannot Operate

Chicago, However, Cannot Operate
Her Street Railways.
Under the result of the Chicago city
election, in which the question of mu-
nicipal ownership of the street railways
was the vital issue. the city can pro-
coed to acquire and control the rail
ways, but cannot operate them. At the
same time the voters, while declaring
that the city shall not proceed to oper-
ate the railroads, declared that as a
question of public policy it would be
desirable for the city to do so. Three
propositions We're submitted to the
voters, the first of which was: "Shall
the city of Chicago proceed to operate
street railways"
This proposition required 60 per cent
of the total vote cast in order to become
effective
The total vote cast on the question
of municipal ownership was 231, III.
OF this number 120,911s were cast in
favor of municipal operation of the
street railways and 110,260 against it.
In order to become binding tine propo-
sition to operate the railways should
have received 13S, 7O3 votes. 1t there
fore fell short of the required number
by 1892 votes.
The proposition to issue $75,000,000
in street railway certificates was car
ried by vote of 110,00S against 106,-
G69. The question of public policy was
carried by Il vote of III, SGD to 10S,025.
This question has no legal effect what
ever, it being simply shall the City
Council proceed without delay to secure
the municipal ownership and operation
of the street railways under the Muel-
Ter law instead of granting franchises
to private companies?"
Mayor Dunno construed the passage
Of the $75,000,000 certificate and pub
lie policy propositions as a victory for
municipal ownership, but expressed his
disappointment over the defeat of the
proposition for municipal operation.
The election was one of the most in
teresting to Chicago voters that has
been he'd in many years. The vote was
huSh loi SSA ilttu Dtth NApStlSds
and all day the contest for and against
municipal ownership was bitterly
fought. Party lines were largely ig-
nored and the eligibility of candidates
dependt more upon their attitude to-
ward unipical operation Of street cars
and high licenses for saloons than upon
their party records.
In Milwaukee Sherburn M. Becker
the "boy Alderman" who ran for May
or on the Republican ticket against
David S. Rose, Democrat, and w. A.
Arnold, Socialist, was elected by about
1000 plurality.
The story of his fight is the most
unique in Milwaukee's history, and has
few parallels in the country. Becker
was first mentioned for Mayor as the
joke of fireman, who had been given
hot coffee by Becker during fire. The
idea took, and Becker ran for the Office
against the strongest possible combina-
ton, and was elected. The campaign
was spectacular. Becker is not 30
years old, but he has served two terms
as Alderman and two as County Super
visor.

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful Sight from that Dreadful Com
plant, Infantile Eczema-Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies.

Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afilict-
ed him for several months, common
cling at the top of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery.
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-
lief. We finally procured full set OF
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show
brighter spirit and really laughed.
for the first time in year In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure, and
there is nothing too good that we could
say In their favor, for they certainly
saved our baby's life, for he was the
most awful sight | ever beheld prior
to the treatment of the Cuticura Rene
dies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1896 Apple

Footprints OF Ape-Man.
A laugh of incredulity was raised
by many two years ago when certain
marks on block Of sandstone found
near Warrpambool, fiourishing mi
nor port of the State of Victoria, We're
identified as footprints of prehistoric
man, says the London Chronicle.
However, the sending Of plaster
cast of the block to Germany excited
keen discussion and led to the arrival
in Australia this year of DR.. Herman
Klaatsch of Heidelberg University,
and to the announcement by that sa-
want that, in his opinion, the marks
were genuine human imprints. This
decision, coupled with the doctors in
vestigation concerning the human
skulls in the Warrnambool museum,
revived the "a notion that in old Aus
tralia will be found the traces of the
very closest approximations of the
ape-man--the link between humanity
and the ape.
Further discoveries by DR.. Klaatsch
In the way of footprints in the sand
stone of extinct species of some sort
of great bird analogous to the emu
species have added fuel to the specu-
lations.
A telegram from Warrnambool
states that DIR. Klaatsch considers
that an extensive sandstone formation
under that town thousands Of years
ago formed level, sandy beaches,
which were the camping ground Of
the prehistoric races then existing. At
that time Australia and Tasmania
formed part OF great antarctic con-
tinent which extended up into the In
dian ocean and connected Australia
and Asia with Africa.

THE POPE
Is Subject of "a Court Order i'm Unu-
sual Case.

New York, Feb. An unusual
court order which contemplates the
service of Pope Plus X with summons
and complaint in a suit for the con-
struetion of a will, in which the
Pope is made a defendant, was issu-
ed today by Justice Amend, of the
supreme court. The order provides
for the service both by publication
in a New York newspaper and also
by mailing a copy of the papers by
registered letter to the Pope in the
vatican. The Pope is made a de
fendant under his family name, JOS
eph Sarto.
The suit was for a construction
of the will of Mary E. Phehn. who
died in 1885. Under the terms of a
codicil in the will the Pope is to re-
celve an income of $3.50 a year up
on the death of Mrs. Phelan's last
surviving child. The present action
was brought about by the raising OF
question of how the order of the
deaths of the seven children OF Mrs.
Phslan would affect certain provis-
ions in the will. Several other ben
eficiaries of the will besides the
Pope are named as defendants.
