THREATENS TO SPREAD.

Strike of Longshoremen and Team
sters at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Oct. About SOC
longshoremen and teamsters went on
a strike here on the river front when
the crews of the Leyland and Austro
American line steamers started stow
ing cotton in vessels. The strike was
expected, the steamship agents having
failed to make an agreement with the
cotton screwmen. Other union labor
ers besides the screwmen, longshore
men and transfers are interested and
it is probable that 5000 men, repre-
senting practically every class of labor
along the river front, will become in

WHAT THE CHIMNEY SANG.

Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew,
And the woman stopped as the babe she
tossed,
And thought of the one she had long
since lost;
And sad. as her teardrops back she
forced,
7 hate the wind in the chimney
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted melody no one knew:
And the children said as they closer
drew
% It's some witch that is eleaving the
black night through;
It's a fair trumpet that just then blew
And we fear the wild in the chimney
over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew:
And the man, as he sat on his hearth
below.
Said to himself, 1T viii surely snow.
And fuel is dear. and wages low,
And III stop the leak in the chimney
over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody on one knew:
But the poet listened. and smiled, for he
Was man. and woman, and child, all
three
And he said. 1T Is Gods own harmony.

Striking Straight Out.

4 $1,000 shipment of tobacco was
offered for transportation from the
alleged American trust to its sup
positional branch in Europe. The
Government has seized it. Author
ity for this action is found in that
section of the Sherman antitrust
Jaw which provides that the Govern
ment may condemn the property Of
any trust existing in violation Of
the law while that property is in
interstate or foreign commerce.
If any American doubted the earn
estness of the administrations
campaign against. the trusts here is
proof of it. Far from being dis
suaded by pleas that he is hurting
business the President is classify
ing the great, organized, CONNER
cially powerful violator Of the law
with the lone butcher it is so easy
to catch shipping sausages without
proper inspection, and whose wares
it is so easy to hold. Much has
been said Of the probable and salu-
tary effect of arresting one corpora
ton president and locking him in Jail
for violating the law. Here is an
other step which viii have, we ven
ture to think, hardly less effect.

What a Situation!

PetwOrth IS a sorry illustration of

heated by stoves of antiquated pat

Yet as far back as February - an
allowance of $4,000 was made by
Congress for the building of a four
room addition. That money be
came available July 1 last. On
April 25 the drafting fore of the
District building was instructed to
take this up at once. and as the
design Of tie building and all de
tails are prepared, the plans and
