TRADES UNIONS HAVE coLoRs
Most Radical Glasses Are "Reds"-
Others Green and Yellow.

PARIS, Dec. 26-A curious develop
ment in French trades unionism is the
use of colors to designate various
classes of workingmen.
strike has been going on for the
last two months among the Lille wea-
vers, and not only with the revolu-
tionary reds" but a new labor syndi-
cate, the greens, which had been
fostered by TIE masters in cooperation
with the ecclesiastical authorities as
a safe and innocuous organization,
has upset calculations by siding with
the other unions against the employ
ers.
The representatives of the combined
red and yellow" trade unions at
Lille declare that the masters refuse
to negotiate, although their decision

department of the Nord, the deputies
of the department, the mayor Of Lille
and the president of the chamber of

unions have invited the mediation of
the minister of labor, M. Viciani.

STEEL ORDERS ARE HEAVY
Specifications Continue to Roll in Up
on Mills.


NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Heavy spe-
cifications on contracts for finished
steel products continue to roll in upon
the mills and consumers generally are
pressing for deliveries. But new bus
mess in finished and raw materials
is being contracted.
Rail contracts placed in 1909 for
1910 delivery have aggregated almost
100000 tons New orders for fab
ricated steel for buildings and bridges
have aggregated only $4,000 tons, but
it is probable that the December bus
mess will total 100000 tons at least.
Evidence of contraction in volume
of business in sheet and tin plates
is shown by less heavy output and
the closing of several mills for the
holidays Great activity continues in
wire products and shipments for No
vember were $4,000 tons Prices of
mercantile pipe will be readjusted on
January 1.
Additional orders have been placed
for cars by railroads bringing the

The one point on which all the in

of personalities enters into the fight
whenever such an abstract thing as
the rules themselves are being fought,
and so Speaker Cannon is the storm

prominent negro to be placed on the
program of a state teachers meeting
especially to discuss negro education.
He cites the fact that Booker r. Wash

gram of the National Teachers asso-
citation and that he mas addresse the
state association Of at least one south

Howard A. Gass, state superintend-

it is not customary in Missouri to
place negroes on the program, Booker

Prof. Wilson received something of a
set back from the Northwest Teachers
association, comprising the teachers
of his own county as well as other
surrounding counties, who recently
adopted a strong set of resolutions
condemning the course being pursued
by Wilson.
The resolutions read: In view OF

discourteous objections of some parties

The moral of the story printed be-

who contemplates changing his occu-
patton or position should take care
that the bargain he makes with his
new employer is definite. There is
also another morsl-for employers.
The proprietor of a certain Turkish
bath establishment. seeing a strong
looking young man working in butch
ers' shop, and being impressed by his
magnificent muscles, told him to re-
sign and take rubber's position with
him.
