UNIONS ARE BENEFICIAL
ALTHOUGH METHODS OF ORGAN

National Association of Manufaotur-

uel Gompers.

New York City.-An attack on 'the
methods of organized labor" broke
the otherwise calm routine of the first
days session of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, which opened
at the Waldorf-Astoria. This arraign-
ment of certain phases of labor unions,
including a fling at Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, was embodied in a report
of the committee on industrial educa-
tion, of which Anthony Ittner of st.
Louis is chairman. After considerable
discussion the report was referred to
special committee after the conven-
tion had gone on record as endorsing
not an attack on organized labor per
Sc, but "the methods of organized la
bor."
The attitude of the delegates was
made clear when the motion to refer
the report to special committee was
made. Then Mr.. Ittner rose and of
fered a suggestion that this commit
tee to which the report is to be re-
ferred have the power to emasculate
anything in the report that might ap-
pear to the members as improper as an
unfair attack upon labor" He added
that "We do not fight the labor or
ganizations by themselves; we con-
slider them beneficial; but we fight the
methods of organized labor-and some
of them are damnable."

Earthquake Districts.

Considering earthquake forecasts,
DR.. G. X. Gilbert finds that the places
liable to be shaken can be pretty well
determined by geological evidence as
we'll as from past experience, but there
is little reason to expect satisfactory
prediction of the time of earthquakes.
The one well-known earthquake dis
trict of the United States includes
Central and Southern California, with
areas in Mexico and the Pacific ocean.
Alaska also has district, and there
may be a third in Utah. Since the
beginning of last century, Alaska has
had at least nine destructive shocks,

district, or 13 if the Oregon earth
quake of 1867 and the Sonora and

United States earthquakes have been

GEORGE MEREDITH is DEAD
Great English Writer of Novels and
Poems, 81 Years Old, Had Been
Failing for Some Time.

London, Eng. = George Meredith,
the English novelist, is dead here.
The immediate cause of death was
heart failure, following grave symp-
toms. Mr.. Meredith's illness began on
May 10, and he had steadily declined
since that time. George Meredith was
born in Hampshire, February 12, 1928.
He was educated partly in Germany
and was brought up to the law, which
he quilted for literature. His first

followed in rapid succession by various
novels and additional poems and bal
lads. Diana of the Crossways" was
published in 1885, and "One of Our
Conquerors" in 1890. Lord Ormont
and His Aminta" appeared in the sum-
mer of 1894 and was followed in 1895
by THE Amazing Marriage" which
is supposed to introduce as hero the
late Robert Louis Stevenson. In 1892
appeared the Empty Purse" vol
ume of poems.

PEOPLE GENERALLY.

Court Decisions and a Little
Bit Of Everything.

Columbus. State Orchard and Nur-
sery Inspector N. Il. Shaw states
that the fruit crop will be light
this year, principally because of the
long drought of last fall. He states
that there will not be much more than
half of an apple crop and about three
quarters of one of peaches. The
smaller fruits will be proportionately
light. Apples are more plentiful and
in better condition in the Ohio river
counties and peaches are almost a
total failure in that belt. In the north
ern part of the state they are in fair
condition. Inspector Shaw thinks that
all frost danger is now over and that
it is safe to do any kind of planting
new.
Working continuously for over a
year past under the direction of Au-
ditor of State Edward M. Fullington,

approximately $2,500,000 of gross earn
ings were not returned by public serv-

quired by the Cole excise law. The
omitted returns, S2,457,021, have been
placed on the tax duplicate by the
state board of appraisers and asses
sors, on which the derelict companies
will pay into the state treasury one
per cent annually on 4,57021. Books
of public service corporations for five
years back were examined by Peter
outcalt of Cincinnati and ]. P. Nc
Giffert of Ashtabula, who, in four re-
ports-November "a and December 81,
1908, and February II and April 12,
1909-certified that 213 companies had
made correct returns of their gross
earnings. In five reports-April 81,
November "a and December 81, 1908,
February II and April 12, 1909-they
certified that 169 companies had omit
ted to return gross earnings and re-
ceipts to total amount of $1,913,332.
Also, through the work of these ex-
aminers, there was certified since
January l, 1908, $543,6S9 of gross re-
ceipts and earning of companies which
had made no returns at all.

preacher.
Now, it seems that the habits of the
deceased brother had not been irre-

worthy pastor of the flock. So, in
summing up the case at the funeral,
the preacher delivered himself of the
following:
my brethren and sisters, we are
here to pay our last sad respects to
our departed brother. Some says he
was a good man, and some says he
was a bad man. Where he has gone
to we can't tell, but in our grief we
have one consolation, and that is
he's dead"

ANOTHER IMPORTANT v,cronv
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
TX COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New YORK
sitting in New York City-has lust
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com.
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
BY the terms of the decree, it is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col.
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small. round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of com
plant; said right having been &C.
CURED by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
OF the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.
