turned verdict for the plaintiff, CYCLIC,
and against the Atlantic Mills, with
damages assessed in favor of the boy
fol 1891, the full amount claimed.
By a rule enforced at the Atlantic
Mills, the operatives were required to
give ten days notice if they wished
to leave work. Failing to do this, the
penalty was a deduction of three days
wages on the return of the employe.
CYCLIC said that he was out sick for a
week, and when he went back to work
the sum of 1891 was deducted from
his pay the next time he received his
money.
Counsel was employed to recover the
1881, and suit was brought in the
Sixth district court. The defendant
was not satisfied with the decision
there, for it upset the workings of the
rule, and an appeal was taken. Under
the charge of Judge Brown, the plain
tiff was entitled to all the wages he
had earned, and the jury gave YER

And dare the advance on the guns
Where the game is enough to make,

For he is a structural steel man
Whose daily and perilous feat
Is to swing from crane on the end

A hundred feet over the street.
He would laugh to be only sailor
And Chamber aloft in the gale
Perhaps to fall OF la Jonah
Right into the mouth of whale
For he is structural steel man
Whose daily and perilous feat
Is to put all his hope in slim-looking
rope
Two hundred feet over the street.
He would look with contempt on bal

fit, this being another unique feature
of the organization. The sick benefit
paid varies from SIS to $40 per week
for a period of twenty weeks, and the
death benefit from $50 to $500.
'sMr. Klapetzky claims for the bar
bers' union the unique distinction OF
being the only labor union that has
never had strike, yet in spite of this
fact the conditions of the journeymen
BARRIERS has been constantly improved.
Shorter hours, better wages and Sun
day closing are some of the results
of organization in the craft.
The standing of Mr. Klapetzky
among other labor organizations is
demonstrated by the fact that at the
last convention of the American Fed
Grafton he was elected by reclamation
as one of the two representatives of
that body to the British trades con-
gress, which meets in England in Sep
TENDER of the present year.
"Mr. Klapetzky has had flattering
offers from financial concerns, but has
steadily refused all positions or offices
that would in any way interfere with
his work in behalf of the organization
which is in reality monument to his
ability as an organizer and financier."
In view of the facts herein set forth
the union BARRIERS of America have
every reason to be proud of their
union. Union men should make it "a
point to look for the shop card when
they enter a barber shop. If there is
none there it is not union shop.

than 100000, but it has upwards of
S250,000 in it's treasury, and is there

The following from the Colorado

1.-The first ten years of the history
of this organization was one of con-
slant struggle, and during all that
time Klapetzky was the guiding spirit.

present, representing a membership of
10000, and from that time until the
present the growth Of that organiza-
next convention was held at Syracuse,

The convention of 1904, held at Louis
vile, KY, was attended by 618 dele
gates, who represented membership
of 10000.
cat this convention Mr. Klapetzky
rendered his resignation as secretary
treasurer, owing to the fact that his
health was failing, due largely to the
strenuous efforts put forth by him to
build up the organization, and that
his efforts had met with success was
evident to the delegates. and their
appreciation of his good work was
shown by the fact that while accept
ing his resignation as secretary treas
urer, they declined to allow him to
sever his connection with the organi-
cation, and he was made editor of the
Journeyman Barber. the official jour-
nal of the organization, and legal ad-
wiser to the executive board, which
position he has since held. Being a
graduate in law and an expert finan-
cier, Mr.. Klapetzky was eminently
fitted for this position and the fact
that the BARRIERS organization has in
it's treasury a quarter of a million dol
lars, and is probably the richest labor
organization, membership considered.

manded one in return. Among her

had duplicates in the shape Of two sill

omy she decided to give one Of these
to her friend. 1t was marked with her
own initials, but it would be only
matter of a few minutes to have them
removed and the proper monogram cut.
She took it to the jeweler and explain
ed what was to be done. He picked up
the tray, looked at it closely and

large, open face blush meandered over
his countenance, but the exchange was
made. Then he grabbed his hat and

Had a Slow but Sure Gait.

There have been numerous disap-
pointments in the outcome Of some Of
the boys. We remember one boy in
particular who was the butt of all ridi-
Guile from the boys Of his age, and he
took it good naturally. He seemed to
have no particular friends and herded
by himself. His clothes always looked
funny, and he had that awkward swag-
ger over which the rest Of us had
much sport. No one ever thought that
that plug would ever get anywhere or
have anything. But today that plug
is drawing better salary than any
two Of the old gang. He has more
money, more influence and more
friends than any Of the rest Of us. The
plug had a gait that was slow, but it
was sure. He didn't appear to be bit
bright then, but he had a surface that
took on polish.-Westphalia (Io)
