ATTEND THE MEETINGS.

Regular attendance by the dele
gates at the meetings of the Capitol
City Trades Assembly is as much
a duty of the union man as it is to
live up to his obligation in refer
ence to the scale, etc, and once
again we wish to ask the delegates
to either attend the meetings Of the
Central Body or resign, and have
those appointed who will attend.
1t is the old, old story. Mem
bcrs very often complain because
of the little good accomplished
through their utilization with the
Trades Assembly,. How can they
expect anything else when they
are not rcprcScntcd-and it is an
undisputcd fact that at some Of
the meetings many organizations
have no representation
1t is Il well known fact that the
unions that have regular repre-
scntation, get full satisfaction
through their utilization. The
men are there, and if anything
transpir"d affecting their oIgani-
zation in any way, they use their
influence toward not only oflSctting
any legislation that which might
act dctrimcntally to them but are
there to see that their union re-
ceivcs proper recognition.
1t is surprising to see the little
Importance some unions attach to
the central body. They have no
hcsitancy in paying the regular
per capita tax, or contributing to-
ward its support, but there is Il
remarkable lack Of attention paid
to it by some organizations.
The are delegates who attend the
first meeting only, and that is the
last seen of them. No report is
requested from them at the locals
meeting, and it is seldom known
rs to whether or not they attend
the meeting of the Central Body
This is wrong. Affiliated unions
should see that their delegates at.
tend the meetings.
There should also be Il system
adopted in the central body whore
by those delegates who do not at
tend the meetings regularly, would
be reported to their respective
unions. This plan is in vogue in
other cities and works to perfection.
1t has a tendency to create a larger
attendance, increases the enthusi-
assn in the central body and the
local union, and the movement in
general.
Delegates, attend the meetings
of the Trades Assembly and help
to boom your organization. If
YOU do this, you are assured that
the union you represent will get /,
square deal. and through your at
tendance and participation in the
meetings only can you expect it.

THURSDAY. JULY II, 1907.
PAY WOMEN SAME AS MFN.

day are such that the equality OF
woman with man is the only solu-
ton Off number of the mostv i'm
portant of Industrial problems.
Women must have equal wages for
the same work, equal hours of en-
ploymcnt and equal conditions of
labor. AS the situation has been,
and still is, woman has been the
industrial competitor of man. She
has accepted lower wages, longer
hours and poorer conditions Of
labor than men by organized de
mnnd have been able to secure.
If that condition conId prevail
without change, says Ida Nc
featcrS, president OF the Hat
Irlmmcrs' union of New York, it
Is clear that the progress of the
male industrial worker would be
retarded. If women can be en-
ployed to greater advantage to the
employer through conditions that
WITHHOLD from her certain rights
which the men insist upon, it is
easy to see that the universal
cause of labor will suffer.
Male organized labor cUnnot sub
NIT without proper protest to any
such condition. Thus it has come
about that women wage carncrs are
organizing, and have in some
fields organized well. The goal at
which the organization of the
women workers aim is the indus.
trial equality of women with men.
Nothing less than that can satisfy
the women, and nothing less than
that can remove the menace to
men. This Industrial inequality
which has existed has been due to
the weakness of woman on the one
hand and to the thoughtlrssness.
on the other hand, of women who
dld not need to engage in industry.
and accepted conditions Of labor
which made them formidable com
petitolS with those who needed
higher wages, more sanitary sur
roundings and shorter hours.
Many women, among whom the
married women are the most num-
erouS, still compete in this way
with the wage earning men.
w hcrevcr women in industry
have been effectively organized it
has been found by the EMPLOYERS
that they sustain no loss because
Of the increased wage. the shorter
hours and the more sanitary CON
ditiOnS which organized women
workers receive over their linoruan-
lied sisters. That was the lesson
which th" employers learned from
the results Of organization among
men, and it is being repeated in
the case of women.
Industrial equality of women

In this way men and women

each other more iuteliigently than
ever before, and this KNOWLEDGE

Where Are The Old Men.

1t is proper TO speak of a man
under thirty as "old man" in a
jocular way, but after that it be-
comes dangerous. AS for old ladies,
Thirty years ago 1t was common in
society and in print to speak of an
old man or and old lady without
meaning any disrespect or giving
the least offense. Now it is positive
ly dangerous; in fact, it isn't done.
Why this enangc?
Partly because the physical and
mental condition Of the average per-
son is better than formerly, but
principally because people have de-
cided not TO grow old. That settles
il. We are largely taken at our own
valuation, and are not now disposed
TO make it low one.
Fifty years ago a man of 35 was
considered an old man. Many persons
can remember their fathers at 80, or
grandfathers who at 80 seemed older
than any living person now.
1t is considered proper for man
of family 10 settle down quietly, TO
eschew the vanities of life and in a
sober, orderly manner to work and
live as if he were 20. In these days
It isn't done, partly because there is
too much zest in active life and part
ly because for man to act as if he
were old is too often simply shelving
himself. The young blood is wanted
these days, and many men of go are
to all intents and purposes still young
They keep at the game with their
former eagerness.-Phiadelphia Inqui-

GOOD WORK AT The
FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Flowing and Attention to Soil,
Theme for Splendid Dis
cuSSi0n.

At the farmers Institute last Thurs
day and Friday addresses were made
by three gentlemen employed in the
fore noon plows and blowing were
department of agriculture. In the
discussed. j. Al Dobin, of Ohio, said
he had learned from experience that
to do good work the pillow must be
adopted to the soil, then that much
was to be gained by properly adjust
ing the plow. He strongly advocated
the use of the jointer, said the depth
of blowing should be governed by the
depth of soil; found to 6 in, deep
enough on his farm. Said fall plow-
ing was beneficial on soil not COM
pacted by winter rams nor subject 10
washing.
H. p. Miller, Of OHIO, mad found
the disc pillow highly satisfactory on
loose or stubble ground also for fall
blowing wnen ground becomes too dry
for the mold board pillow TO work. 1t
pulverizes the ground for more than
the latter and is lighter draft.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Dobie
discussed the purposes and methods
of cultivation, saying that the killing
of weeds thuogh an important OBJ
ject was only one of many. Weeds
are most easily killed before they APP
pear above ground and can at that
time be most readily killed by use of
harrow. Advocated harrow corn once
or twice before IL comes up. Guilt
vate deep at first TO assist circula-
ton Of air through soil then as the
plant root, spread so as to occupy the
ground cultivate shallow with the
purpose Of making an earth mulch to
hold the soil moisture.
Mr.. Miller spoke of some factors in
soil fertility, urging that land lost
more fertility through lying bare than
from growing crops hence advocated
a close rotation of crops in which one
was sown own rotation is corn, rye
and clover. The use 70 a legguni-
nous as clover or peas is an import
ant factor. Another foctor not yet
appreciated is stable manure. Urge
that animal be kept In stables where
both solid and liquid excrement can
be saved and that the manure be left
under shelter until distributed upon
the field. Stable manure should be-
supplemented by phosphorus which is
most cheaply done by the use of
floats or the untreated Tennessee rock

KENTUCKY STATE FAIR
AT CHURCHILL DOWNS.
Historic Race Course at Louisville
will be Location of 1907
Exhibition.

After three weeks of negotiations
with the owners of Douglas Park at
Louisville, resulting in a failure 10
induce them to lease the grounds for
the 1907 Kentucky State Fair, pend
ing the clearing of the title to the
property and adjustment of other mat
tiers in connection with the purchase
of the tract and buildings as a perma-
nent location, the Kentucky State
Board of Agriculture has been given
the use of the Churchill Downs at
Louisville for the holding this years
exhibition during the week of Sept.
16. The Kentucky State Fair will
therefore be held on the dates men
toned, at historic Churchill Downs,
where the Fair last year was held.
Messrs. Charles +. Granger and Matt
]. VIM, representing the Churchill
Downs interests have agreed 10 the
use of these grounds and committee
representing the State Board has ex-
W WV vi Nbl uiui
thanks for their liberality in the mat
ter, inasmuch as the grounds are ten
dered to the State Fair upon terms
agreeable to the State Fair manage
ment.
Churchill Downs, while a typical
race course, is considered TO be the
best equipped State Fair grounds in
the South, with the possible exception
of the Texas Fair grounds There
will be an abundance of stall room for
all kinds of live stock, there is a big
stand and there are buildings suita-
BILE for the departments which must
be shown indoors.
The entry list in the different ex-
hibit departments is the greatest in
the history of the Kentucky State
Fair, at this time, three weeks prior
to the exhibition.
The State Fair management is
spending over $1,000 in exploitation
and expects record breaking attend
ance daily. Some of the greatest
amusement enterprises in the coun-
try have been contracted with for
