According to data just published by
the Massachusetts bureau of labor. the
year ending Sept. 80. 1903, was particu.
larly free from industrial disputes in that
State. There were but 1913 labor contro'
verSies, 1J3 being strikes, = lockouts and
; partaking of the nature of both a strikG
and a lockout. This number as compared
with the disputes of 1903 1904, shows a
decrease of 40. The period was marked
by no large or general strike, and, on
the whole, the disputes were of minor inn
portance, and the number of disputes was
less than in any preceding year.
More diSsrnSion occurred in the teXti.a
industry than in any other, the industrial.
stoppageS numbering 10, or about ~ per
cent of the entire number. The inhar.
mOnious state of affairs in the textile in
dustry was occaSioned largely by the in.
PRODUCTION of new machinery, the electric
warp-Stop motion. together with the OPP
Grafton of the 1O-lOom system, being the
primary causes of the greater number Of
strikes.
The decreasing number of trade dis
putes is accounted for in a large measure
by the joint industrial agreement and the
more conservative attitude on the part OF
trade union leaders in discouraging the
resort to strike unless found to be abso-
lutely unavoidable. The sympathetic strike
in Massachusetts,, it is said, is becoming
apparently a weapon of the past.

and with one sturdy kick she sent the OBJ
noxious box half way to the street.
20, Miss Sarah" cried out a child's
piping voice. What mir you doing that
to your Easter present for?"
What are yol doing here, Maggie
Smith," Miss Grant demanded, sharply.
Are you concerned in this disgraccful
affair? Come here this minute and tell
me all about it."
Frightened by the sternness OF the
voice, Maggie came whimpering and trcm-
blind.
Il jest don't know nothin'," she de-
clared. Il was comm down the street

Hope to. die, Miss Sarah, that's every
thing l know"
Miss Grant was puzzled. She vainly
tried, in the dim light. to scan Maggie's
face.
Bring me that package" she said,
sternly.
Ma ggie obeyed.
Now go straight home. If 1 find you
have deceived me in any way l shall see
that you are severely punished"
Trembling with fear, Maggie started.
Upon reaching the street, she broke into
a run. AS for Miss Sarah, she carried
the mysterious package into the dining
room, lighted a lamp, pulled down the
window shades, locked the door and sat
down to think. Efie Dean-the sweet,
refined daughter of Miss Sarah's pastor!
Would she insult the old woman to whom
she had always been so kind? Surely not.
What had Maggie meant about Easter?
A moments thought-yes, the morrow
was Easter as we'll as All Fools day. She
felt a twinge of conscience as shG remem-
bercd that her anger against the prospect
i've pranks OF the boys had blotted out her
memory of Christ's proven Immortality.
She came back to the present with a
start. There lay the bundle.

Chicago, However, Cannot Opera

Chicago, However,, Cannot Operntc
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 231.111.
OF this number 12O,911 were cast in
favor of municipal operation of the
street railways and 11O,26O against it.
In order to become binding the propo-
sition to operate the railways should
hoNS ISlCi'Cu - NotCS' - lAClC-
fore fell short Of the required number
by 1892, votes.
The proposition to issue $75, 900, 900
in street railway certificates was ar
ried by a vote of l10,O0S against 1885,
.G69. The question of public policy was
carried by a vote Of i11,S62 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,O0O,OOO 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 he most in
teresting to Chicago voters that has
been held in many years. The vote was
much larger than had been expected,
and all day the contest for and against
municipal ownership was bitterly
fought. Party lines were largely ig-
nored and the eligibility of candidates
depended more upon their attitude to-
ward munipical 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 a fireman, who had been given
hot coffee by Becker during a 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
wears old, but he has served two terms
as Alderman and two as County Super
visor.

on a bed of softest roses, lay great clus-
tiers of Easter lilies. The woman felt
her anger slipping from her, n an I'M
expIainable hush seemed to settle down
upon her. Reverently lifting the card tied
to the lilies, she read I'm loving re-
membrance of the joyful morrow" joy
full? A, not to her. And why not?
Could there be any reason save that she
had shut out of her life the influence of
the risen Savior? What if she had been
lonely and misunderstood? Had she al
ways been just to others? And had not
He, the divine One. been misunderstood?
Her tears were dripping on the waxen
petals of the flowers? Burying her face
in their cools depths, a fervent proyer
rose from her heart.
The next morning was bright and sun
ny. The little church was gay with flow
ers, and to Miss Sarah the very air seem
ed alive with loving memories of the first
Easter morning. 80 day of joy and glad
ness! sang the choir, and the heart Of
the spinster repeated the words over and
over. At the close of the service she
FASTENED to her brothers pew.
How is your m dear?' she
asked Sadie in so sympathetic a tone
that the girls eyes opened wide.
What a little woman you are, Sadie, to
keep the children so quiet through church.
Here's a note for your father. You can
tell him 1 will come over and talk TO
him after dinner. I'll bring your mamma
some of my ounce jelly. Poor thing. ]
wish she could get out these nice days"
John Grant was discouraged and dis.
heartened, yet for his wife's sake he had
tried to be cheerful that Easter morning.
When Sadie laid the little note in his
hand he opened it and read, while happy
tears coursed down his cheeks:
Dear Brother: l will let you have the
money to pay that mortgage. You and
yours may pay the interest in love. Can
you forget the past and take anew to
your heart the sister who has just learned
to follow the risen Lord? Lovingly yours,
Sarah Grant"

have 20 show make us a bit regretful.
Many of the popular presents are so sim
sularly inappropriate. Really, aside from
the eggs. which custom has long attached
to the Easter season and in which chill
dren yet find their delight, there Is just
one thing in every way suitable for a
remembrance ut this time and that Is
flowers. In spite of the fact that Easter
is n great Christian festival, there re-
mains. perhaps unconsciouSly, in our
minds an association with the old pagan
festival of flowers suggested by the name,

or a cluster OF tulips hav a certain rara

times, it is possible that here, as in other
cases, the church adopted and consecrated
a popular custom.
This is certainly true of the Easter
pies, which formerly celebrated the tri-
umph of spring over winter.
Some Of the medieval customs, espe-
cially in France and Germany, were very
quaint-for instance, that which existed
in several French cathedrals of a solemn
game of ball played by the bishops, can
ons and other dignitaries.
Popular sports and dances are still
maintained in some places, as at Constan-
tinople, where the whole Greek colony cell
ebrates the festival, with the ordinary
Accomplishments of a fair, in the Gene
terry of Pera.
Neither ancient nor modern records
however, furnish a parallel to the Amer.
lean custom of utilizing the day as an
occasion for the display Of new clothes.
