IN LABOR CIRCLES
-,

As an echo OF the recent strike of the
teleEraphers. Chief Strategist D. l.. Rus
sell Of the keymen has presented resolu-
tions to the convention Of the American
Federation of Labor at Norfolk provid-
ing that the United States government
erect an experimental telegraph line be-
tween Washington and New York city
which will parallel the lines of the two
telegraph corporations; that this line be
employed for both government and public
use to demonstrate the cost to operating
telegraph lines of transmitting messages,
etc. Mr.. Russell proposes that ultimately
the government shall erect lines to all
points under the government ownership
plan. instead of buying the present lines
and being compelled to pay the compa-
MES demands for the equipment and
franchises
In this connection he also introduced
resolutions providing that the American
Federation of Labor present to Congress
a petition calling upon that body to
forthwith institute and conduct an ex-
haustive inquiry into the causes of. the
illegal practices and fraudulent devices
resorted to by the telegraph companies
during. and the evil effects of the late
strike of the Commercial Telegraphers;

Give me ticket to Chicago, ;"
said young man at Charles City as
he planked down six dollars and forty
cents. Nothing doing for that
price" said the agent, who was wise
to the loop holes in the new laws.
Then ensued heated dialogue, patron
versus railroad The would-be ticket
purch aser insisted that he could buy
ticket from here to the Windy City
for two cents per mile, while the
agent held out for the regular fare
Finally the young man realized that
if he wished to spend the noisy fourth
in Chicago he must accede to the rail
road s demands and pay the old three
cent fare, which he did with much
kicking. The two cent fare laws in
operation in the state of Iowa. Illi-
nois, Nebrask,a and Minnesota afford
many loop-holes for the railroad COM
panies. One would naturally expect
that as it is against the law to charge
three cents for ride ON the cushions
in Iowa and Illinois, that he could
travel from here to Chicago for $40
times 3 cents, or &c. The state
laws say that it shall be unlawful for
the railroads to charge more than two
cents per mile from and to all points
inside the state. Nothing is said
about the fare from one state to an
other, though the two cent law be in
effect in both. The willy railroad at
torneys are not paid for nothing and
on their advice the magnates are still
working both ends against the middle.
1t will not be long, let us hope. until
some Interstate Commerce Laws are
passed to protect the Interstate travel

3D.. Another musical and educational
number will be something unique and
interesting to us all, lecture by the
only woman anthropoligist in the en-
ploy of the United States government.
She has lived 90 years in the Pueblo
Indian region, and is thoroughly
familiar with them. She will be ac-
companied by 10 Indians, who will
give two programs; music, religious,
and secret society rights, of their
various kinds
The three others will be the Vir-
ginian Jubilee Singers, Ohio Male
Quartette and Minnetonka Ladies
Quartette.
In the way of entertainment Robt
w. Goss, with his moving pictures
will be here.
.In evening lectures we will have
Mr.. Frank r. Robertson, the cele-
brated travelogue lecturer, also DR..
Thos. E. Will, of Washington. d.
O., secretary of the American
Forestry Association who will give an
illustrated lecture on "Our Heritage,
It's Destruction and Recovery.
A third lecture will be given by
Mrs. Stevenson on the Pueblo Indi-
ans, and a fourth evening will be
taken with moving pictures in con-
junction with the Jubilee Singers.
while the other evenings of the session
will be taken, one with band concert
and one with ladies' orchestra.
The first of the forenoon lectures for
next year will be an educational day
with DR.. A. K. Winship. editor of the
New England Journal of Education.
Two forenoon programs are to be
devoted to the interest of the farmers
alone, and in as much as what interests
a farmer interests every man in
America, these programs will be of
special interest to all CT us. The first
lecture will be by Mr. ID. Ward King,
the "Road Drag Prophet, who has
made himself and the state of Mis-
souri, famous with the use of a 'split
log drag.
Another morning lecture of special
interest to every man who owns or
hopes to own a horse is that of Mr..
H. T. Miller, of the Ohio State
Agricultural College, who will lecture
to us ON the horse.
A fine line of afternoon lectures are
offered. Possibly one of the first will
be Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin,
and another will be Capt. Richard P.
Hobson, hero of the Merrimac. An
other lecturer is Col. Ham. of Georgia
There will be one or two politi-
clans on the program who will talk
principally on politics, inasmuch as
it is presidential year Ex-Lien-
tenant Gov Warren G. Harding of
Ohio and Congressman d. A. De
Almond. of Missouri, and possibly
Congressman Cushman, of Washing
ton
The preacher lecturers offered are
DR.. John +. Carson, Presbyterian
minister of Brooklyn. and DR.. S.
Parks Oadman, Of the Plymouth Con-
gregational church, of Brooklyn.

of the Des Moines river, which form
the boundary of the state. The Judge
further held that Deputy Barmeier is
responsible to Huhunin for the value
of one seine, which was not in use at
the time it was seized and destroyed.
The fact that the men were using one
seine and had another in their boat
did not justify the destruction of
both.

to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-

BLowPIPE FOR CUTTING STEEL.

away along the line of separation.
Recently a device using the new oxy-
acetylene blowpipe for this purpose
has been greatly perfected and
simplified In France. What II can do
is described in this article taken from
the Literary Digest, in 1t the writer
says:
This instrument differs from the
Ordinary oxy-acetylene blowpipes by
the addition of third tube, controll-
ed by stop-cock, whose purpose
is to direct on the object heated by
the blowpipe a central Jet of oxygen
that effects the combustion OF the
metal.
"The apparatus Is easily handled.
Tho blowpipe being connected by
flexible tubing with TASKS of COM
pressed oxygen and of acetylene dis
acetylene is first lighted, and by then
opening the oxygen stop-cock gradu-
ally there is obtained an extremely
hot flame with which the sheet to
be cut Is raised to bright red.
When the temperature is high en-
and a violent but very slender Jet Of
oxygen is directed upon the heated
metal. Under It's action the metal
burns brilliantly. throwing off show
ers of sparks formed of magnetic
oxid; and if the Jet be moved grad
n cft ht,t
only in the track of the oxygen Jet.
Thus is obtained perfectly clean cut
30 narrow that a knifeblade can
scarcely be inserted In It,"
Two sizes of apparatus for this
operation have, We are told, been
recently placed on the market in
France; one will cut plates an inch
or less in thickness, while the lar
ger can deal with material as thick
as twelve inches. The smaller con-
sumes about ninety gallons of acety-
lene per hour: the larger. over twice
as much.
The use of the small blowpips
necessitates no special precautions;
with the large model 1t is indispen-
sable, in order to avoid burns from
the sparks to wear special clothing
Of asbestos cloth. and. further. 1t is
we'll to protect the eyes. with color
ed glasses, against the brilliancy OF
the burning metal.
The use OF the oxy-acetylene blow
pipe presents still another appreci.
able point of interest-that of rapi
dity. With 1t plates half an inch
thick are cut at the rate Of u yard in
four minutes; those of an inch in
six minutes; those OF four inches In
nine to ten minutes. This extreme
speed and its convenience now as
sure to the blowpipe-cuttcr more
and more numerous uses. Thus with
In short time 1t has been employed
successfully at Marseilles to repair
the steamship Gaulo!s; at Toulon, in
the demolition Of the Jena: at the
Credit Lyornais, in Paris, for the
demolition of a steel water-tank;
and at Paris more recently to cut
200 iron girders In the building of
the Societe Generate, next door to
the Opera. In less than five minutes
each OF these girders about seven
inches thick, was severed whereas
by ordinary methods it would have
taken half days work to saw them
apart.

The Biggest Cigar Output.
Some Facts About a Great Penns flvania In
dustry-2,8s7,74o Cigars a Day.

In some comments on the vast
extent of the tobacco growing and
cigar making industries in the east
ern part of the State the Lancaster
Me7o Era says "There were twen-
ty-seven working days in this State
during the past month of October.
On an average there were 2,S97,74o
cigars made every one of those days
in the Ninth internal revenue dis
trict of Pennsylvania. This is the
largest number made in any month
since the internal revenue law went
into operation in 1868. 1t is also
the largest cigar output ever made
in any internal revenue district in
the United States in single month.
We can hardly realize the extent
and value of this industry located
in our county, in which upward OF
800 cigar factories have been bust
ly at work. Between six and sew
ell thousand men and women are
continually at work, rolling with
nimble fingers the cigars that are
sent to market from the Ninth dis
trict. Is it any wonder that tobac-
co growers and cigar workers are
anxious to keep away the cheap
tobacco of other countries and the
cheap labor that has produced
them, and to retain for themselves
these two closely-related industries,
tobacco growing and cigar-making.
