Charles E. Schubert, a we'll known
Dayton, Ohio, typo, and a violin
ist of promise, has written march
which has just been published by
the Popular Music Publishing
company of Chicago. The march
has been dedicated to the typos
and is entitled the Typographical
Union March, 1t is splendid
composition and there is a spirit
and swing to it that ought to make
it one of the very popular marches
OF the day. a coincident is the
fact that it is written in 6-S time,
figures that are quite appropriate
just now, when the typographical
union is trying to establish gen
eral eight-hour day for six days in
the week. Mr.. Schubert is being
congratulated upon his splendid
work in composing the march. The
cover page is done in lavender and

Future Differences to be Settled by
Arbitration.--Union Recognized.

The threatened strike of the
United Hatters of America, which
would have involved some 10, 900
or 10000 hat workers has been
averted by the willingness of the
manufacturers to modify the rules
originally proposed. This result
was reached after many conferences
between the officers Of the union
and the hat manufacturers, and it
is a cause for much satisfaction to
all friends to the trades union
movement as we'll as to those en-
gagged in the hat industry. The
trouble began six weeks ago, when
the manufacturers demanded the
acceptance of set of new rules,
which the union rejected. In fu-
ture all differences are to be set.

of the nnion is to be recognized,

1t is absurd for any Individual,
or individuals, to say that they
have a right to run their own
business in any way they see fit.
There is no business that can be
conducted but that in some way
relates to society, and it must be
subject to such regulations as
society demands irrespective Of the
will of the individual, or individ-
uals, who are conducting the bust
ness. The business of the en-
ployer and his business interests
are no more independent than the
business of the employee and his
business interests, and both must
observe such limited rights as
society may popularity impose up
on them.
