day was adopted today providing that all
efforts to obtain relief from Congress by
petition be now suspended" and that
every energy be exerted to elect to Com
gress. irrespective of party utilization. can
didates for political Office who shall have
pledged themselves to support labor meas
ures. The resolution recites that "the
many pledges given by members of both
parties dominant in the United States have

The Age Limit.
At the afternoon session yesterday the
attempt to. raise the age limit for entering
an apprenticeship from. eighteen to twenty
years was defeated. The report of the
mileage committee was adopted. and it
was further decided that hereafter the mile
age paid to local unions will be discon-
tinued. An important change to the con-
stitution of the organization was made
when the amendment was carried stating
that Sin case of strike involving one
third of the membership of a union said
union may refuse to receive cards" while
the strike is In duration. This has the
effect OF barring from striking unions those
members of the order who are prone tostake
advantage of the benefits given striking
members. -

sion Saturday night, Mayor Jones pre-

ing a majority:
The following resolution, introduc.
ed by Mr.. Abbay, was then put on pas.
sage and carried.

RADIUM IN MEXICO.
A Prospect That This City May Get
Some of the Precious Mineral.

Mexico may in a few weeks witness
the marvels Of radium, the discovery
Of which SO startled the reading and
scientific world recently. Professor
w. B. Patty, an expert exhibitor, Is
contemplating an appearance here,
bringing a supply Of the substance and
demonstrating its remarkable quail
ties. Radium, it will be remembered,
is the newly discovered mineral that
gives constant light and heat, contIn-
ually throws off tiny PARTICLES Of itself
yet with no. apparent diminution Of
weight or strength; its rays will con-
stantly penetrate several inches Of
metal or over 9 foot Of wood, and its
cost is at the rate OF over IS, 900, 900 per
pound, and hardly obtainable at '
that fabulous rate, so extremely scarce
is the present supply. Scientists estl-
mate that 1t Is practically inexhausti-
BILE and that it will continue Its re-
markable manifestations for thous-
ands II not for millions OF years with
out wearing out.
II Professor Patty comes he will also
bring q supply Of liquid air and .
wireless telegraph apparatus, which
will be instructively and entertaining
ly demonstrated. His coming TO this
city will depend upon our citizens
assuring the management that Q large
audience will result. Already many
tickets have been pledged for the an
ticipated treat, and II is hoped that
another hundred will be taken in the
next few day, in which s definite
arrangements can then be announced.
Those interested In the matter may
communicate their desires to, OF OBJ
tain information from Superintendent
Hawthorne at the high school, or
Pres. Million, who, recognizing the
great educational advantage as well as
exceptional attractiveness Of the en-
tertainment, are hoping to improve
the opportunity offered, or sign List at

The present unusual weather condi-
lions are a great source OF lnconven-
fence to citizen and farmer. The o.
inches Of snow that fell Sunday night
and Monday has drifted 10 many places
making the country roads impossible
and in some places 1t has been neces-
sary to form a brigade to dig through
the deep plies Of snow blocking the
roads so that trafic could be re-estab-
lished.
The temperature on the 18th was at

Business has been materially affected

in commercial circles.
This time last year potatoes had
been planted. corn placed in the ground
and farm work generally advanced.
Though the delay this year may not
be serious it will result 10 late crops.

little IL any effect while others believe
that much damage will be the out

Tribute From the Pen Of Homer

The following letter from Homer
Bassford, formerly Of the Mexico
LEDGER, now Of the St. Louis Repub-
lie, explains itself:
To the Editor OF the Ledger.
ST. Louis, March l4.-May | ask
space for a little belated word of
tribute to the memory Of the late d.
A. Mcmillan? Among the best recol-
lections OF my life lie 10 a period in
which my personal acquaintance with
this admirable man was rather more
intimate than is common between
youth and maturity. He approached,
with his 'boys, " as he called the fell
lows whom he taught, a sort of chum-
miness--a relation that made him at
one with them. / recall a visit to
Kansas City, where, In company with
the late Nathaniel Hutton, who met
an all too early death by accident in
the far southwest, I took Mr.. MCMILLAN
on an expedition among the hills
around the town. We went up to
Quindaro and, again out Westport
way; and while we rambled about the
ends Of the old Santa Fe trail, "the
professor, = as he was afrectionately
called by US, went Into the great his
tory Of the winning OF the west. The
outing vas a leg-wearying ramble
among stiff hills, but u companion
made 1t easier with bis fine spirit and
enliyening companionship. That
laugh OF his, so aptly mentioned the
other day by Walter Williams, of Co.
lumbis, was one Of the outward signs
of his unfailing optimism. 1t was by
itself a signal against disaster. II
rang out SO sharply and with such
genuine infection that it brought the
sun through the clouds. 1t is a mat
ter Of keen regret to me that in re-
cent years l saw little OF my old friend
but 1T is a source Of reflective pleasure
10 know that | count myself among
the hundreds who knew bis qualities
and felt the beneiicent effects Of theil
influence. HOMER BAssFoRD.
