TRADE UNION
THE MAKING
The Early Effort Of Printers Organization and Their Great
Trade Union OF Today

Every other month the Department
Of Commerce and Labor at Washington
issues bulletin setting forth in Stats
teal form labor conditions throughout
the country. and also embracing spe-
cial articles by agents of the depart
ment and noted economists. Bulletin
No. 81, issued in November, 1905. had a
notable contribution from Mr.. Ethel
bert Stewart, one of the special agents
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor captioned "A Documentary His
tory of the Early Organizations of
Printers" That a number of diseon-
nected societies existed in various
parts of the United States prior to the
formation of the unions as now con
stituted, while not perhaps generally
known. will not be new to students of
the history of labor organizations.
THE references to these early organ
izations are usually hazy," says Mr..
Stewart in the article referred to- con-
tanning no more than mere statement
that they existed at certain dates with
no evidence offered of the truth of
even these statements. In this article
it is believed the first attempt is made
to be specific in the information pre-
scented about these early organizations.
In this respect at least the article rep
resents pioneer work in its field, not
only in the reproduction of documents,
l.
of these societies as a source of inform
alton about other kindred societies.
Thus the transcription of circular let
tiers from other societies, upon the rec
ords Of the Columbia society, or the
New York or the Philadelphia societies
has furnished documentary proof of

DIVISION OF COAST LINE
It Is to Be Separated Into
Three Sections.
DAVIS TO BE IN CHARGE.

Washington. June Sit was report
ed that the war department had de-
termined to divide the coast line OF the
United States into three sections, for

of these under the command OF a gen
eral officer. Brig. Gen. John X. Da-
Wis. promoted to the rank from colonel

for such command. Congress proba-
bly, will be asked to pass legislation

field artillery. After July LIST, 1908,
the chief of artillery will cease to ex-

lery and will be designated as the chief

CONTESTED CITY LIFE.

J. II. Hale of Connecticut is perhaps
the only man in this country who has
| literally refused to become a United
States senator. Strange as this may
seem to the most of us, it is true, nev-
ertheless.
He is a public spirited man in the
true sense of the word. He has al
ways been interested in movements for
the betterment of hrs town and state
and country. Some few years ago he
was rendered the election as senator
ION a silver platter" as he aptly put 1t.
When waited upon by the legislative
committee, Mr. Hale literally held up
his hands Gentlemen" he said, Il
do not want to be elected to your au-
gust senate. Really | don't I'd
rather be farmer. Besides, there is
more money in it." Mr.. Hale, who has
gained considerable prominence as a
public speaker, says he is still CLOSE
to the SOIL
The time has long since passed
when you must go TO the city to live
for comfort and luxury. There is moth
ing in city life that can not be had in
the country, as we country people look
at the world today.
1t has been the all prevailing idea
and it prevails now to some extent,
that country folks are "Reubs." But
the point is just here. Many of our
overgrown cities are the hot beds of
diverse financial schemes. which men
ace our public affairs, and, some think
threaten our very liberty. Now, if it
ic had for. MOI n control the
finances of our country, is it not like
wise bad to have a congested center
which occupies a small area of our
country, have SO much political power
as they do?
These large municipal interests are
not always in harmony with the coun-
try at large; so their ideas of govern
ment become selfish, their public men
are schemers, since they are like all
other Americans, are after the dollar,
and they seem to have no other meth
cd of obtaining it than scheme.
scheme, scheme. Hence arises. our
seheming politicians, who to say the
least, are not good law makers for the
masses.
Might it not be good if the size and
distance from each other of our cities
be controlled by a good. wholesome
law. affecting their growth. Then all
parts of the country would be affected
alike, and would have all the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the con-
gested centers. Leave out the schemes
and we would have more men like Mr..
Hale of Connecticut. who would find it
more pleasant and profitable to live il
the country, and when necessary for
them TO legislate. they would legislate,
and not scheme for individual gain.
All the corrupt politics are centered
in and around these large towns and
cities. Lets scatter them TO the four
winds of heaven and await results.

IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS
Will Mean Increase in Number
Of Automobiles.

Kingston, June S-There are but six
automobiles in the Kingston district of
Canada, mostly of American make, but
a proposal is before the city aldermen
to spend $4,000 on road improve
ments If passed this will mean an
increased demand for road machines.
There are several hundred motor
boats in the waters of the district and
among the Thousand Islands and the
demand is increasing. Boats ranging
from 90 to 80 feet in length and with 5
to 10 horse power engines, are in most
favor. American-made engines gener-
ally rule the market. but the hulls are
constructed at less cost on the Cana
dian side.

THE WEATHER SITUATION.

just at the present time great
rnistic view of life and blame it all to
the weather. AS consequence of the
abnormal number of rainy days we
1lave had lately, these pessimists are
very free with their predictions of
various dire calamities over-shadowing
our country. To listen to them you
would conclude that crops are ruined
Tor all time to come and that as a re
suit our farmers will soon be in their
old position of being heavily mortgag-
ed. And in view of the supposed
crop failure, these pessimists will
readily convince you that every other
dine of business is going to the dogs.
Getting down to the real facts of
the case. however, you will find that
the pessimists in drawing SO realistic
ally, a picture of approaching hard
times, have conjured most of the basis
for argument out of their own fertile
imaginations. About the only crops
we are shy on in the United States
this year are wheat and optimtsts. The
wheat crop has been materially reduc-
ed by the ravages of the green bugs
the dearth of optimists, unless it be
lack of sunshine The pessimists how
ever, assure us that the corn crop has
also been wiped out. As matter of
fact there are probably more acres
planted to corn this year than eyer
before a fact due to the apparently
sure failure of the wheat crop. Farm
ers have pIoughed up the land they
had planted in wheat and replanted it
in corn.
Even if this year should prove dis
astrous to crops, it would not put the
necks of our farmers under the mort
gage yoke again. Farmers have had
ten years of prosperous times. They
have paid off their old mortgages, ip-
proved their property q have mon
important point. Ten years or SO
ago, farmers were heavy borrowers of
the banks. Today the banks are Dor
rowing money from the farmers. The
basis of our prosperity rests upon our
farmers, and nothing short of about
ten successive crop failures can destroy
the prosperity built up by as many
years of excellent crops. So if the
pessimists care to carry on the contro-
yersy farther, about the only thing
they will have left to speculate on is
whether or not we will have ten sue
cessive crop failures, and if so, what
effect it will have upon the fall of
snow next winter.

A TEMPERANCE SETTLEMENT.
What Lady Somerset Is Doing for the
Women Drurkards.

Recently it was announced that
Lady Henry Somerset had retired
from public life, to devote herself to
rescue work among erring and inebri-
ate women in the settlement at Dux-
hurst. England. It is now a decade
since the DuXhurst home was started,
the pioneer establishment of its kind.
1t has grown and developed, proving
the wisdom of its promoters, who held
that the needs of the individual must
be recognized by special care and sep
arate housing provisions; that the
personal, friendly example which is
the salient feature of Christ's minis
try, must be the guiding principle;
and that the crushed, weak and tempt
ed can only be helped as they are led
1t is in the spirit of this conviction
that she has now gone to Duxhurst,
there to spend the remainder of her
good and useful life. On August 5 she
reached the vantage point of 55 years
She has been the guiding spirit of
DuXhurst from the beginning. 1t was
she who conceived and brought into
existence the attractive cottage colony
on the sunny and sweet-scented slopes
of Surrey. which has been an object
lesson in correct treatment for women
who are slaves of the drink habit, and
which has served to bring about need
ed and better legislation for the wom-
en- drunkards Of Great Britain and
other countries.
It is easily seen that the most i'm
portant feature Of the Duxhurst col
ony is the novel and wise arrange
bent for the recognition of the indi-
viduaL By assigning the women to
cottages of six occupants, in charge
of a nurse sister, the harm of contact
with others similarly afflicted is great
ly decreased. A healthy home atmos-
phere is created and each individual
can be more readily reached with
helpful influences. The cottages are
simply furnished with just such equip
ment as every self-respecting laborer
ought to have at home-clean, dainty,

pride in what they call our little

as to what home should be like.

as the care of poultry, beekeeping.

ing and a certain amount of laundry
and needle-work Pleasant outdoor
exercise and occupation is found to
be the best restorative for weakened
nerves and wills. The indoor occupa-
tons include Discriminating, by which
a good supply of baskets is produced
for home use and for sale; seed-sort-
ing, which provides a profitable win
ter occupation. Much attention is
given to weaving and knitting the
products being dress materials, hucka-

which find market and help to sup

have a guarantee of five shillings

if she is able to earn enough to pay
her expenses through the week, any
thing over that is placed to her credit
and at the end of her stay in the home
is handed back to her in the form of
wages. The cost of maintenance con-
siderably exceeds the receipts from
the patients, reaching as high as 500
coo in a single year, while the income
is about $4,000. Nearly $4,000 pounds.
or about $4,000, is the investment
at DuXhurst the last remaining sum
having been collected as a surprise
gift fund for Lady Henry Somerset
on her birthday, by the British Wom-
ems Temperance association.
Lady Henry Somerset, says the
Christian Herald, goes about at Dux-
hurst from cottage to cottage, visiting
with and speaking loving words of
personal spiritual help and encour-
agement to the inmates, who regard
her as a veritable angel of mercy.
She lives in a centrally located little
cottage, simply furnished like the
rest; and her usual attire is that of
the nurse, full skirt, apron, cap and
