IN LABOR CIRCLES
o..

A venerable workingman who says he
has been affiliated with organized labor
ever since the first union was formed in
Washington writes to The Star to say he
deplores the recent tendency toward
violence. as exhibited at the railroad sta
ton Monday, when a number of nom
union wo-kmen came to town" The
writer says he hopes his brethren of
the unions will fight against the open
shop peacefully and thus keep public
sentiment Oh their side" He adds that
the union shop will ultimately prevail,
but argument must be met with argu-
ment, not with force. and in the end right
will prevail"
The outlook in the field of the building
trades this week finds both sides still
arrayed against each other and stubborn
ly contesting every inch of vantage
ground. The building season is nearing
its close and the employers a~e seeking
to close up their contracts by completing
the work now in hand before the snow
flies Non-union workmen are being
rushed to this city as rapidly as they can
be procured and put to work.
The building trades continue to resist
these efforts of the employers Their
grievance committee and pickets are on
the alert and as fast as non-unionists
are 'captured' and converted" to trades
unionism they are deported. Both sides
are working strenuousy and both are
claiming to have the advantage. Con-
servatives hope there may be no more
physical clashes.

| the Frisco Central Labor Union placed

In view Of the present contest between
employers and employees in the District
building trades. the following from the
Massachusetts Labor Bulletin seems
apropos:
"A new corporation "a union OF mas
tiers and craftsmen). which must be re-
garded in the nature of an interesting
experiment, has been chartered by the
commonwealth for the purpose of deal
ing with the rela tons between employers
and employees. 1t IS, in effect, an attempt
to organize a union in which both classes
are to have membership on as nearly
equal terms as possible. The name of
this new organization, which took out
its charter July 3. 1907. Is The Massachu-
sets Society of Brick and Stone Masons-
Masters and Craftsmen. and Its purpose
as set forth In its constitution is the
establishment of a corporation composed
of individuals, firms and corporations en-
gagged in carrying on the business OF
brick Or stone masonry. and Of Journey
men craftsmen in these trades, with the
special object and intent. through the
operation of the association, to regulate
and improve conditions between said

1t was a little before five when this
strangely assorted group reached Cannon
Green. The doctor was just coming away
and Walter asked eagerly after the pa
tient.

medical man explained. Il mean he isn't

strength. You will never get better if you

A melancholy smile came over Silva's
face. The expression of his eyes told as
PLAINLY as possible that he had no delu-

he went through the motion of writing

Cleveland. O., July 30.-The second pool less meet of the Cleveland Driving Park began today and the circuit campaigners were greeted by a fairly good crowd. A fast track and bright day added to the general interest.
 The feature of the opening day was the Thistedown stake for the 2:13 class pac- CTS. Reproachess. owred by Gen. w. B. Chisolm, after whose stock farm the stake was named, was picked to win the event and she fulfilled expectations, put not until she had been forced to reduce her record nearly seconds. Hidalgo was the principle contender, and forced Re proachless 10 pace the first heat in 2:04ia. Reproachless was tired in the second heat and Hidalgo won out after a great finish. with Leland Onward, Reproachless being fifth, Hidalgo took his first record in 2:04A the fastest heat of the race.
 Hldalgo looked like an easy winner in the third heat Reproachless was fifth at the half, but Starr began his drive at that time. and Reproachless came on like a whirlwind, moving down her adver- saries In order, npping Hidalgo at the wire in POS.
 The first race of the day. the 2:22 trot was won by the favorite, Carlo driven by John Dickerson. He won the first two heats easily, making a new record of 21OA. Margaret O. won the last heat.

POLLARD RETURNS
 FOR ANOTHER TERM

Tuscaloosa. July Special)-It has been learned since the announce ment appeared in The Age-Herald with regard to Dr. Pollards not returning to the University. that. on the con- trary. his services have been secured to coach the football team at the Uni Versity next season. It Is not yet de- finitely known that Dr. Pollard will spend the whole year at the Univer- sity though it is probably that he will. in the same capacity as that of last year.
 Dr. Pollard proved himself an ex- cellent coach in the teams that he turned out from the University last year, and it is a matter for general rejoicing by all the fans that he will return. Probably. under his coaching. the best football and baseball teams that the University has ever boasted were developed, and, with the nucleus of old players that will return. great things may be expected in athletics next year at the University.

McWeller looks all to the good. He has a wonderful curve. good speed which he starts with an easy swing, splendid control. and better still, q cool head under fire
 In addition, he fields his position exceedingly well. gives promise of rapping the ball hard, and is fleet of foot. He should have won the game yesterday, hands down. He would have won had his support been just trihe less rotten.
 McWeller is a man who smiles while they're hitting him. The man who can look cheerful when the clouds get heaviest. is worth his weight in gold
 What the new pitcher will be some weeks from now cannot be foretold Today. however, the fans will declare him excellent.
