of weeks in this city before going to
New York to prepare for the opening

mo UNFAIR PANTS. 7
Factory Girls Make Bricklayers
Change lothes.

Union pants are necessary to the
man who helps build the Penn Over.
all Factory, None others go.
Because two of the workmen on the
new building were not aware of the
fact and came to their labors wearing
unfair" pants, they were taught a
lesson they will not soon forget.
The sight of the unfair clothes worn
by workers upon rne building which
they were to occupy was as raw de,
cision to the home team at a ball
game. The union maids of the Penn
union made" factory wouldn't stand
for that. They Immediately protested
You can't work on our building ii
you wear pants like that" the leader
of their delegation is said to have told
the offending brick-layers.
I'VE have none other" declared the
men, "and we must wear some"
The ladies were agreed to that, It's
said, but they found solution to their
difficulty. They carried their
troubles to Phil A. Derr, who sells
Penn garments while on the road. Mr..
Derr is nothing if not gallant.
"I1l furnish the overalls," he prom.
ised them, elf you will make the men
put them on" So the Offenders were
hailed into the factory building,
where they were rugged out in new
suits, union made" by the "union
maids"
Then they went back to work, and
under the smiles or the damsels in
the big stitching room next, did two
hours work in the time Of one.
And the girls
They took those old overalls and
cut them into strips. Triumphantly
they ripped them into ribbons and
flung the ribbons from the factory
window
Long live the Penn girls!' the
bricklayers cried

The Kalbach Lumber Co., comprising
Messrs. John A., George and Warren
Kalbach, held match under the hos.
pital thermometer this morning and
raised the mercury $500 worth. This
is one of the largest contributions
that has yet been made to the fund,
and shows the hearty cooperation
that the business men of the city are
lending to the project. This splendid
gift boosts the fund safely over the
$4,000 mark, and the committee say
there is enough in sight to bring the
figures up to $4,000, but as it has not
been definitely reported it is not as
yet counted. The movement is going
nicely, and with timely boost from
all those who should respond will soon
merge into reality.

BUSINESS IN MAY
SHOWS BIG GAIN
GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS
HAVE MARKED EFFECT.
NEW HIGH PRICE LEVELS.
Commodities Reach Highest Point in
Twenty Years-RaiIway Earnings
Show Large Increase Over
May 1905.

New York, June Or. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Current distribution of merchandise
Is largely dependent upon the wealth
er, which varies widely according to
locality. On the whole, the weeks re-
suits were encouraging and monthly
reports for May show splendid gains
over last years figures. Railway earn
lngs in May were 11.2 per cent. heav-
Ter than in 1905, and foreign commerce
at this port for the last week showed
a gain of $1,346,1S0 in exports and a
loss of 81, sos in imports, as compared
with the corresponding week last
year.
In the iron and steel industry. there
is not only little idle machinery at
the present time, but little prospect of
any shutdown in the near future un-
less repairs necessitate such action.
Official and other indications of a
large cotton crop and the further de-
cline in prices of that staple pro-
dnced no definite effect upon the pri-
mary market for manufactured goods.
As to wooden goods, the future is I'M
certain.
Bradstreet's report is as follows:
Jobbing and wholesale lines are
commencing to reflect the usuas sea-
sonal quietness. nevertheless business
is more active than is customary at
this season, and fall orders for dry
goods, clothing, shoes and interrela-
ted lines are of very good volume Re-
tail trade has been stimulated by
warmer weather, and the outlook is for
a full seasons trade. Industries with
few exceptions are active, although
the time is approaching when the usu-
al summer shut-downs will take place.
Grain crop returns become more ir-
regular as the season progresses but
that fact has not deferred purchases
to any extent. AS a whole the situa-
ton is equal to year ago. The la
Dor situation, though disturbed at diff.
ferent points is considerably better.
