Two Runaways Tuesday Morning.

"a. Il. McBurney came in Monday
night from the Galveston excursion,
and was just starting out home Tues
day morning when one of his drivin
horses, in playful mood, kicked one
foot over the tongue of his buggy and
then began to run. They run against
a large pipe near the Armstrong Ma
chine Shops, turning over the buggy
and throwing Mr.. McBurnev out, but.
he held on to the lines and turned the
horses into fence. No damage was
done except to one of the wheels.
The other occurred on South street,
and started in front of the Racket,
store. Mrs. Hampton and daughter,
Miss Nettie, were sitting in their bug.
gy in front of the Racket store when
their horse began to back, showing
the buggy against Mr.. Morgan s team
of mules, which were hitched to a wag-
on full of watermelons. The buggy
cramped in some way catching the
buggy wheel over the wagon trace
chain, Mrs. Hampton and daughter
being thrown in a heap under the
buggy. The mules started to run
jerking all the harness off the horse
and catching the buggy with them.
No one was hurt, not even being
bruised. And Miss Hampton espe.
ciaIlY looked decidedly undishevelled.
The team was stopped in front oil
the bank, though they were going al
q good speed. No damage was done
the buggy except one wheel was bent
somewhat.

LABOR'S WORST FOES
WITHIN UNION RANKS

CONTINUED from page ~
power to destroy to remain in a posi-
ton Of influence Is guilty OF the same
kind Of negligence as the person who
left the lantern behind Mrs. O'Leary's
cow.
1T is the duty Of the vigilant to
guard against accident. ~~
Happily the only danger from the
conscious foe within is that he may
temporarily gain the support Of we'll
meaning members, but as we live in
an age of ever increasing intelligence
the rank and file are getting more and
more able to separate the wheat from
the chaf both as to measures and as
to individuals.
''The labor union Of the future will
condemn 1.-The conscious foe within" to
eternal industrial solitude and will
learn to ostracize those members who
show any disposition to exercise the
power to destroy:
THE labor union of the present
needs to remember that construction
Is slow, 1t takes years to build a labor
union, but that destruction is swift,
and the union that took years to build
may be destroyed in a few hours by
conscious or unconscious exercise OF
the power to Destroy"

AT THE WHITE CITY.

Next week at the White City will
see two of the most sensa tional and
daredevil acts every presented in this
country, Marvellous Martin, the high
est diver in the world, and Reckless
Pauline Russelle and her troupe of
performing leopards. Both acts are an
exhibition of the greatest nerve, skill
and heroism. Marvellous Martin dives
from a slender ladder one hundred and
ten feet in the air into shallow tank
Of water and the blinking of an eye
lash or the slightless miscalculation in
regard to distance would mean an in
slant and terrible death. Miss Pauline
Russelle reaches the climax Of sensa-
tionalism when twice a day she en-
tiers an especially CONSTRUCTED steel
cage with troupe Of feroc)ous Loop
ards in what is considered the most
marvellous exhibition of skill and pa
thence ever seen in America. In case
Of an accident the management have
made arrangements with DR.. Salter to
be on the grounds both at the after
noon and evening performance.

REAL SOURCE OF PROSPERITY.


The accumulation of a vast fortune,
or the employment of a great number
of people at barely living wage does
not make the individual or corporation
the basis of prosperous community.
High wages and conditions agreeable
to the employee make the wage-earner
a medium through which the real
wealth of the community is dissent
mated. He lives in proportion to his
income and his earnings tend to en-
nance the earnings of others. We are
an interdependent people; prosperity
depends to greater degree upon the
earnings of the workingman than the
profits Of the employer, and the soon
er the merchant learns that his in
terests are dependent more upon the
patronage of 1000 wage-earners than
q half dozen employers, the sooner will
the heights of business prosperity be
attained.

looms, has 10 rAal happiness, and de.
serves none.
Happiness in this life is conditioned
upon being engaged in some honest
virtuous labor. The ~ individual, no
matter what his possessions, must
think right and work right before
everything comes out all right.
By this we do not intend to convey
the idea that mans only salvation is
in what is known as hard work" But
we do mean to say that each man
must have some work to do, and that
he must do it faithfully, honestly and
conscientiously, if he wants to be
happy.
The absolutely idle man, be he rich
or poor, is the most miserable, most
useless, and most to be pitied of any
being that we know of. Life prisoners
in our penitentiaries have work to re-
lieve their monotony, the insane have
no consciousness of their misery, but
the idle man is in a worse plight than
either.
The fellow who is busy at a job he
likes is happy, no matter whether his
reward is proportionate to his effort
or not

HISTORY OF STRIKES.

During the twenty-five year period
covered by the investigation of the
United States Bureau of Labor over
40 per cent of all strikes were under
taken for increase of wages, either
alone or in combination with some
other cause, and over 80 per cent were
for increase of wages alone.
A reduction of wages was the cause
wholly or in part of over II per cent
Of the strikes, and trifle over 9 per
cent were to enforce demands for a
reduction of hours. About 4 per cent
of the strikes were sympathetic.
OF the total number of establish
ments affected by strikes over 81 per
cent were for strikes undertaken
wholly or in part to enforce demands
for increase of wages.
The year 1894 stands out in the his.
tory of the country as the year most
notable for the great number of work.
ers thrown out of work by strikes.
From 1899 to 1904 was period of ex
traordinary industriale strife, and dur.
ing the year 1906 there was a greater
degree of industrial peace than in any
year since 1892.
The greatest number of strikes In
any one industry was in the building
trades which had 26 per cent of all
strikes. The coal and coke industry
had over per cent, and the rest are
scattered among all trades and ocEu.
pations.
The greatest number of strikes have
been in New York, Pennsylvania, I'LL
nois, Massachusetts, and Ohio. These
states had over GO per cent of all the
strikes, and over II per cent of all
establishments involved in lock outs
It appears from the statistics thai
employees who went on strike were
successful in winning their demands
more often than they failed, and that
where the strike was authorized .upor

BR|CKLAYERS To JOIN
FEDERATION Of LABOR
All Local Unions in United States
and Canada Are Voting
on Measure.
Bricklayers international Union
Is One of Strongest in Build
ing Trades.

Growing by leaps and bounds, the
American Federation Of Labor is soon
to receive another accession of
strength unless ali signs fail. The
Bricklayers and Masons' International
Union, one of the largest and most
powerful bodies Of organized labor
organized in the country, will vote on
the question of utilization next month,
and judging from the sentiment of
local members the proposition will
carry.
The bricklayers and masons have
stood out against this move for years,
and they are the only important build
Ing trades organization that is not at
present affiliated with the Federation.
The national officers almost to a man
are in favor Of crawling on the band
wagon, and none more so than T. r.
Preece, vice president, who says:
There Is not one officer of the
Bricklayers and Masons' International
Union but who appreciates the abso-
lutte need of our utilization with the
A. F. of l.. and is constantly urging
the members to take such a step, not
only for the protection of our craft.
but our duty to our fellow men. Presi-
dent Bowen in all of his work this
year, no matter to what part of our
jurisdiction he has been called, has
been a fearless exponent in advising
and reasoning with our craftsmen in
favor Of the proposition, and the rest
of his colleagues in official life are
with him to man.
$50 as to clear the minds of many
members 1t would be as we'll for me
to state that our utilization with the
American Federation Of Labor does
not mean any interference with the
present government of our interna-
t1onal union. We cannot be ordered
out on strike nor ordered to return to
work by any officer of the A. F. of L.
or by the convention. Our information
al union and its subordinate unions
maintain their integrity, autonomy
and independence from unwarrantable
interference on the part Of anyone
connected with the Federation. Our
duty to others demands that we not
only associate ourselves with other Or
ganized forces, but that we assume
our share Of the financial burdens to
which they are called upon to contri-
butte in support Of the good work I'M
dertaken by the Federation. We can
best do this by. taking out q charter
of utilization and paying our per capita
tax. I hope the proposition will
carry" .sS>,-.E w.. - a.. = a:%tt-@-
