NO DEFICIT IN TREASURY.
Disturbing and Misleading Assertion
Made by Contemporary.

The loose statements which very in.
telligent contemporaries permit them.
selves to make concerning matters Of
which exact information is readily ac.
cessible have an Illustration in the edi-
torial assertion of the Philadelphia
North American that the United
States treasury also begins the year
with a deficit
Such a disturbing and misleading
assertion is the result of failing to
make the necessary distinction be.
tween a deficiency in the revenue and
deficit in the treasury. 1t is ac.
curate to say that the revenue for the
last six months of 1907 shows a de.
tciency. the receipts having fallen
$9,000,000 in round numbers short of
meeting the expenditures.
But that is very different thing
from IA deficit in the treasury
Strictly that would mean that there is
less cash on hand than the accounts
call for, implying diversion of funds or
embezzlement. But in the looser and
general use, that there is less money
on hand than is needed to meet de-
mand liabilities, it is still wider OF
the mark. The treasury has such a
surplus on hand after providing for all
reserve liabilities that it not only does
not feel the deficiency in revenue for
the past six months, but it could pay
such deficiency in revenue for near.
ly Is years longer before creating a
deficiency in the treasury
Moreover, if the swollen surplus
were thus drawn down to about one
quarter of its present bulk it would
really be more salutary for the gen.
eral fiscal situation.

High school fraternities are treated

an appeal to the courts. The latest

court, last month, declined to issue an
Injunction restraining the school board
from enforcing a rule excluding all
members of secret fraternities from
participation in literary or athletic
contests, and from using the names of
the high schools in connection with
the fraternities. The injunction was
sought through the father of a mem
Der of one of the fraternities on the
ground that the rule interfered with
the natural rights of the pupils. The
court decides that the rule against
the fraternities does not interfere with
the rights of the young people to join
any fraternities they choose, and that
1t does not trespass upon parental au-
thoTity. The school contests from
which members of the fraternities are
barred do not form part of the regular
curriculum, and are subject to such
regulations as the school authorities
choose TO make in the exercise of
their legal discretion.

DISBANDS uN COURTS ORDER
DECREE is ENTERED IN FIGHT OF
GLASS WORKERS.
The Amalgamated Window Glass
Workers of America Is Declared
TO BE an Illegal Trust in Re-
straint of Trade.

Cleveland 0. A final decree was
entered on Friday in the suit of the
cutters and flatteners against the
Amalgamated Window Glass Workers
of America by Judge George l.. Phil
lips, in common pleas court.
The decision dissolves the associa-
ton of window glass workers, which
was composed of the various workers
employed in the glass trade, including
the cutters and flatteners. The com
plete amalgamation of all the workers
into one association was completed
about six months ago.
The cutters and fiatteners insisted
upon being allowed to use machinery
in their work. This was forbidden by
the bylaws Of the association. Ma
chimes are used extensively by the
so-called glass trust, where the bulk
of the glass workers are employed.
The use of machinery, it is said, was
punished by expulsion from the un-
ion. To be non-members of the union
meant practically no work. For this
reason the cutters and f1atteners en-
deavored to have this feature of the
by-la%s changed.
A long fight between the two ele-
ments in the union ensued which re-
suited in the cutters and fiatteners
bringing suit TO dissolve the associa-
ton, IN apportionment OF the funds OF
the union and an injunction to restrain
the union from interfering with the
use of machinery and to restrain the
union from prohibiting the withdrawal
of the cutters and fiatteners from the
union and forming a separate organ
iZation.
While Judge Phillips scored the as
sociation as being an illegal organiZa
ton in restraint of employment in
fact labor trust, and that it's con
tracts with the other organizations
absorbed by it and its bylaws were
illegal, yet the court was very partiC-
uar to explain that he referred to the
glass workers alone and not to labor
organizations in general. He said la
Dor organizations generally were a ne
cessity and that the intent of the law
is to foster such organizations.
The funds of the association, while
reported TO be near 100000, are, in
fact not more than $4,000. The court
suggested that they be left in the
hands of the treasurer of the associa-
ton, who should become trustee for
the court; that all debts be paid and
that any balance should be distributed
among those who contributed toward
the fund, and not as members of the
union. Notice of appeal was given.
Following the announcement of
Judge Phillips decision, officers ana
members of the Amalgamated Window
Glass Workers held a meeting and OIL
ganized a new association, to be
known as the National Window Glass
Workers, its membership to include
practical window glass blowers, gath
erers, tlatteners and cutters.

BIG CIRCUS PARADE
Most Beautiful With Hagenbeck Wallace

Most Beautiful With Hagenbeck Wallace
The Carl Hagenbeck and Great Wal
lace Shows Combined will exhibit IN
Dodge City, July 20. and more than
usual interest is being taken In this an
nouncement on account Of its being the
only really big show outside the circus
trust. The Hagenbeck wild beasts are
the main feature, but the circus acts are
said to be the very best obtainable in
Europe and America. The big new
street parade with the Carl Hagenbeck
and Great Wallace Shows is much longer
than the usual display given by circus,
and is unusually gorgeous and brilliant.

praised elsewhere is the open cages.

to exhibit their animals in parade, FOR
