NOTES FROM THE WORLD OF
LABOR.

'........... ........... .........
Talk of closer union between the four
principal organizations of railway men
the engineers. firemen, conductors
and trainmen, has been revived.
The Commercial Photographers union
are keeping up vigorous warfare on
the fake" schools of telegraphy which
have sprung up in great number
throughout the country in late years.
The date for the annual convention
of the New York State Association of
Letter Carriers has been changed from
May 20 to July 4 and S. The conven-
ton will be held at Oswego.
Paris is looking forward to a gen.
eral strike on May for the eight-hour
day. 1t Is said the government Is ap-
prehensive of an outbreak of violence,
owing to determination of reaction
aries to seize the opportunity afforded
by a strike for violent demonstrations
against the administration.
The eighth annual convention of the
Illinois State Association of Letter
Carriers will be held at Elgin on Mem
orial day; and from all indications it
will be the largest in point of attend
ance ever held by the organization in
that state.
A new labor political party has
been formed in Montreal to advocate
municipal and government ownership
of public utilities, the eight-hour work
day for government employees, the
prohibition of child labor. the aboli-
ton of contract prison labor, compul-
sorry education, and the prohibition of
pauper immigration.
According to the labor press the
trades most affected by contract prison
labor in the United States are the
shoeworkers, iron molders, garment
workers, reed and rattan workers and
broom workers. A total of nearly 5000
convicts are said to be employed in
the manufacture of boots and shoes
alone.
In accordance with it's declared IN
tention of entering actively into poll
tics the American Federation of Labor
has sent circular letters to ali unions
in the United States giving directions
as to the policy to be pursued. In the
coming congressional campaigns all
candidates are to be questioned by the
labor unions as to the position they
will take in the event of election. Men
who have consistently opposed the
labor organizations in the past are to
be displaced by men who have pledged
themselves to the support of all pro-
jects demanded by organized labor.

its real necessity. II notes that James Ford
Rhodes lin his NTH volume of the history
of the United States, has an apologize air
that is disturbing to the northern reader,
when he discusses this subject And the
nonmilitary student finds himself at some
loss for a positive opinion as to the actual
need for Sherman's devastating march, af-
ter reading the late General Schoheld's
statement in his autobiography that the
battle of Nashville in December 1864, and
Grants operations around Richmond were
sufficiently decisive to have brought about
the collapse of the confederacy and the end
of the war If sherman's march had never
taken place"
What is added. however, is also true of
northern opinion: I'VE are not able, how
ever to accept General Schohelds apparent
opinion that the civil war would have been
ended when 1t was had Sherman's march
not been made. 1t is scarcely conceivable
that General Lee could have been corneTed
with a starving wreck of an army Al APP
pomattox had not Sherman destroyed the
granary of the south upon which the army
of northern Virginia depended for its food"
II II were insisted that the march was
unnecessary, it would be obligatory, as the
Republican points out, to think OF II as lone
of the most unfortunate military prece-
dents Of later times. in view of the fact
that i'm succeeding wars commanders who
nearly, If not quite, overstep the utmost
limits of civilized warfare, have generally
turned to the example of Sherman's march

pecuniary advantage enjoyed by citizen
of a country which will permit an entire
class to be registered on single applica-
ton is not inconsiderable when it is re-
membered that In some countries 1t costs
from $50 to SIS for each registration of a
trade mark. Under the construction now
given to the law the producer of ale and
beer cannot include both in the same reg
istration, and the man who cans and sells
vegetables fruit and fish and desires to
protect his goods by a trade mark must
make three applications and pay three fees.
The commissioner of patents expresses his
cordial approval of the change in the re-
quirements of the statute.
The third section Of the bill changes ex-
listing law to give citizen of foreign
country, who has a manufacturing estab-
lishment within the territory OF the United
States, the same rights and privileges 80

trade marks used on the products of such
establishments are concerned" as are en-

Though the owners and builders Of steam
ships have only recently come to realize
that the turbine requires less steam and
hence less fuel than the reciprocating en-
CINE, 1t is now evident that indications Of
this fact were diScoverable five or six years
ago. In the experience of the torpedo boat
destroyers Cobra and Viper. on which the
Parsons engine had its first real trial, there
was probably no sign OF economy. Then
came in successive years two river boats
for service on the Clyde, the King Edward
and the Queen Alexandra, and a ferryboat
designed TO cross the English channel.

TRADE MARK REGISTRATION
Features of the National Law which
Goes Into Eject on
July /.

The amendments to the law relating to
the registration of trade marks which have
just been adopted by congress will not
go into effect until July 1. Commercial
houses throughout the country are inter-
ested in the amendments. The first section
of the bill which has just passed amends
the existing law, which, provides that in
an application for a trade mark there shall
be given a description of the mark itself.
by inserting after the word itself the
words only when needed to express colors
not shown in the drawing" This amend
ment is proposed to meet the objection that
in ordinary cases a trade mark needs no
description. but shows for itself what 1t
is and that often an attempt to describe
1t is likely to prove a limitation Of the
right OF the applicant, since IL the in
FINGERS mark does not come precisely
within the written description It would
be held not to infringe II. The committee
that considered the legislation could con-
oeive of no case where a description is
needed or desirable except when colors are
used.
The second section Of the bill amends the
existing law by providing
That the commissioner Of patents shall
establish classes Of merchandise for the
purpose of trade mark registration, and
s OF Ro6ss sss particular css
single applica ton for registration OF
trade mark the trade mark may be regis
tered at the option Of the applicant for
any or all goods upon which the mark
I has actually been used comprised In
single class of merchandise, provided the
| particular description of goods be stated
| The trade mark laws of nearly all COM
mercial nations have provision OF this
kind. or their laws establish in express
| terms the classes In England there are
| fifty classes in Germany forty-two and in
France seventy-four. The practice formerly
obtained in the administration OF our pat
ent once TO allow the mark on an entire
class OF goods to be registered on a single
application, but in 1903 the commissioner
ruled in ex-parte Faxon that under a
proper construction of the statute a single
trade mark right would cover only mer-
chandise Of substantially the same descrip-
tive properties, since section of the same
statute gave a remedy only TO those who
placed a mark upon such goods. Since that
time. and particularly since the passage
Of the Bonynge bill OF last year, which in
creased many fold the applications for reg
istTation, there has been much complaint.
! Manufacturers state that where under the
former practice, they could protect all the
goods by from one 70 three applications,
they would now be compelled TO make from
10 TO rs, and. Of course, pay a fee upon
each application.
| While foreign countries are willing 20
protect American trade marks, such coun-
tries will base their registration on the
registration In the country OF origin. and
so the American manufacturer who pro-
duees a certain class OF goods and is OBJ
liged to split up his application must do
the same IN every country where he seeks
| registration OF his mark. Besides the in
convenience 10 which our manufacturer

DEVIL BIRD OF FAR CEYLoN
Utters an Appalling Cry Resembling
that of a Human Being
Tortured.

Most people who have visited the island
OF Ceylon and penetrated into Its jungle
Businesses have heard the cry Of the devil
bird. This awe-inspirIng sound resembles
nothing so much as the scream of human
being undergoing the most terrible torture.
Naturalists have identified it with the syr-
MUM indrani, brown wood owl found in
Hindoostan. But the devil bird, or 'ula-
ma" as the Cingalese call Il, is an elusive
creature and no one has had the good for
tune to kill or catch a specimen.
The Cingalese, naturally a superstitious
race, regard the cry of this bird with the
utmost horror; they believe that Its scream
heard at night presages the most dire mis-
fortune and they are in the habit Of offering
sacrifices to avert the approaching disaster.
The superstition Is probably OF very great
antiquity but Robert Knox. who was a
prisoner in Ceylon for twenty years about
the middle of the seventeenth century, gives
an interesting account Of IT, although in
common with the natives he believed the
cry proceeded from the devil himself.
This I can confirm" he writes, that
oftentimes the devil doth cry with audible
voice in the night; tbs very shrih almost
like the barking OF a dog. This have often
heard myself. Only this observation the in
habitants OF the land have made OF this
voice. and ] made It also. that either just
before or very suddenly after this voice
always the king cuts OF people. To believe
that this is the voice OF the devil these rea-
sons urge: Because there is no creature
known to the inhabitants that cries like II
and because IL will on a sudden depart from
one place and make a noise in another
quicker than any fowl can ny and because
the very dogs will tremble and shake when
they hear It, and tbs 30 accounted by all
the people"
A modern account, however, is given by
Mr.. Milford Of the Ceylon civil service. who
affirmed that he had ofen heard the cry
while at Kurunegala, where the bird
haunted the rocky hill behind the govern
ment house. He had evidently studied the

FROM ATLANTA TO THE SEA"
Why Father shsrman's Projected Trip
Angered the South.
RETRAclNG MARCH OPENED OLD WOUNDS
Incidents of 1864 Recorded by North
ern and Southern Historic
ans-The Modern
Verdict.

The abandonment by Rev. Thomas Sher-
man OF his Second March to the Sea" has
pleased the north quite as much as it has
the south. That spectacular progress,
forty-one years ago, OF 10000 union troops
under General w. T. Sherman from Chat
tanooga to Atlanta, from Atlanta to the
sea, and from Savannah north through the
Carolinas in a sixtylmile wide swath As
coming to be thought Of in Massachusetts,
as a regrettable necessity at the same
time that modern historians of Georgia
speak of 1t as an unnecessarily brutal but
brilliant stroke of war As his father 3
son, It was generally said, Father Sherman
might naturally wish to go over the old
route. but he made a serious blunder when
he arranged to have an escort OF United
States soldiers accompany him. II was
ian insult to the south TO imply that
General sherman's. son needed protection
from the people Of Georgia.
Such. in brief, are the comments that
have been made. north and south alike,
since the first newspaper dispatch concern
ing the proposal was printed two weeks
ago. They have had quick effect; the blum
der has been repaired. so far as It could be,
and n General sherman's son again starts
20 the sea he will take care not to have
the fact advertised. Another result OF this
outbreak OF popular protest has been to
bring to the notice Of a new generation OF
readers the amended historical estimate OF
a feat that has come to be quite as well
known as the defence of the bridge by
Horatius or the gallant fight at the pass
Of ThermopSlae. The actual facts Of the
march are being told without sectional col
oring. In this respect the incident has not
been without value.
Before setting out from Atlanta on the
morning Of November IS 1884, General sher-
man wrote TO General Grant to explain
Just why he preferred to go south from
that newly conquered city rather than turn
under General Hood. as Grant had advised.
A smaller force than his he wrote, could
take care OF Hood II the latter ever got as
far away from his base OF supplies as Ten
nessee. He himself, with 90, 900 OF his fttest
troops. would sweep down through the
''granary Of the confederacy' IN a column
sixty miles broad and destroy the very
sources of Hoods subsistence. He wrote
OF the moral effect OF such a march: III
we can march a well appointed army right
through his territory II is a demonstration
TO the world. foreign and domestic, that We
have a power which Davis cannot resist
There are thousands OF people
abroad and in the south who will reason
thus: II the north can march an army
right through the south, II Is proof positive
that the north can prevail in this contest
