INJUNCTION HELD BACK.
Trouble Between Dunneback and the
Leather Workers to be Adjusted.

In the injunction suit started by Henry
Dunneback, a harnessmaker on Gratiot
avenue, against Local Union No. 1871,
on Horse Goods, of Charleston. W. Va,
it developed that while Deneback, who
was a member of the union as well as
an employer who had label agreement
with the union, had violated it and en-
ployed nonunion men. He claimed that
the union was unable to furnish the men,
the union was unable to furnish
the men, while the unionists brand
that story as false. The label was
to be taken away and Dunneback asked
for an injunction restraining the union
from taking such action. He seemed to
think that he could hold the label, violate
the agreement and yet avoid any of the
consequences. 1t was also charged by
the union that the reason Dunnebeck did
not get union men to work for him was
that he did not pay the scale he agreed
to pay.
During the trial of the case before
Judge Hosmer. a proposition was made
that Dunnebeck should be permitted to
retain his membership in the union, and
drop all litigation. but this was refused
on the part of the local union as the In
ternational Brotherhood had been made a
party to the suit and no such agreement
would be entered into without the sane
tion of the International. Judge Hosmer
thought that would be a good solution
and the case is held up pending the ad-
vices from the International.
James A. Murtha was attorney for the
union men and James H. Pound for Dun
neback. Mr.. Murtha handled the case in
such a way that Duneback did not seem
to have leg to stand on.-Leather Work

(By Gus Brohm.)

AS the only orator in my bailiwick, l
received communication from the
vigilance committee to make a talk on
the subject of Labor and Capital
not Capital and labor.
Just why labor and capital do not
meet, shake hands, kiss and make up, is
a vexed question. Like the lion and the
lamb of Bible lore, they should "lie down
together''-and sometimes they do. but
when they get up together" the lamb
is usually gathered together within the
lion, who picks his teeth with the lambs
tail. And if l may quote from Shakes
peare to exemplify the position OF LABOR
in its internal juxtaposition to Capital:
THE night was dark; the lightning
flashed from sky to sky, and the co"
stuck up her tail and ran to the noun
tains of Hepseedam, where they sha"
flies and the lion roareth, and the
whangdoodle mourneth for its hrst-
born"
What sacred trust-and not by any
means monopoly-it is to be president
of these United States! l had a brother
who started out to reach that chalr' at
the early age of fourteen years. with
fire in his eyes and an unconqueraple
ambition, he swore mot in the presence
of the family that he would leave no
stone unturned until his object was gam
ed. and-look at him now! He turned
tricks that were not stones on that presl-
dental route, and now he is the Dest
shoemaker in the penitentiary, ana ne
agrees with the idea of some OF our
presidents. that one term is long enough.
What we need in this country is eco

BARRED CIRCUS LABOR DAY.

1t has just come to our notice through
an exchange that the city council of
Kansas City, Mo-, refused to allow the
Barnum and Bailey circus to exhibit
there on labor day. Mayor Crittenden
said when asked about it:
Labor day has been declared a holi-
day for the benefit of the laboring men,
and they throughout the country, have
been in the habit of using this day for
purposes beneficial to their orginiza
tons. The Iaboring men in Kansas City
have about half completed a temple for
their organizations and the money which
they make at the picnic and their amuse-
ments on Labor Day will be used for its
completion. l think that inasmuch as
we have given over this day to labor,
we should see that they are given rea-
sonable protection. circus on that
day would take away many thousands OF
dollars which would otherwise go to diff
ferent labor organizations. For these
reasons we have passed an ordinance
prohibiting all outside exhibitions and
circuses from showing on this day. At
any other time we are glad to have the
circuses in Kansas City"

actiYe hunter would have two wives. but one Wife was generally the rule. Court snip was conducted in this way: A young man becoming pleased with a maiden proposed for her 10 ner maternal uncle Cher mothers brother) and often accompanied his proposal with presents before he. could obtain the uncle's consent. When this was obtained the maiden was soon won Such was the chastity and modesty of the females, that Jealousy on the part of husbands was rarely or never heard of.
 Instead of burying their dead the body was wrapped in a blanket and placed on scaffold in the yard of the family this scaffold was about 10 or 12 feet high. The body remained there until decomposition set in, when the profess sional bone-picker was sent for to per form the undertaker's duty, namely to take down the body, separate the bones from the fiesh wash them clean and then lay them in small box made for the purpose, after which the box was depos- ited in the bone house of the village. Ev- cry day while the remains were lying upon the scaffold the relatives near at hand seated themselves around it and covering their heads with a blanket or other garment, would weep and lament for half an hour. If any of the relatives were travelling they would seat them selves by the pathside cover their heads and weep at the same hour agreed upon with the mourners at home, and this con tinued until the season of grief had ex- pired After this all the kindred and friends enjoyed a feast in order to mark the period
 Their amusements were ball-plays, in which they excelled few games of chance and dances. The ball-plays by the men were attended by the women, and the dances were much enjoyed by the young people. Their rules of propriety were generally strictly observed The eldest brother of a family was considered governor of his sisters children, the fla thers having but little to do with their management The mothers managed them and appeared to take great pleasure in their well-doing. The girls assisted their mothers in their various duties The boys amused themselves with blow-glln and bows and arrows, rarely ever being required to do any work. The women cultivated their truck patches,' performed all the duties pertaining to household or camp The men were all hunters, and it seemed to be their whole duty They built the cabins. and besides those in which they lived, another called the hot house, was built to sleep in during cold weather. The walls were made of poles and mud and the entire structure made as air-tight as possible, leaving one small door The fire was built In the middle of the dirt floor and a small aperture was left in the roof for the escape of the smoke. small scaffolding resembling wide shelves, to sleep on, was fixed to the walls all around. Everything I have said of the Choctaws will apply as well to the Chickasaws There was mild ness and civity in these tribes which dis tinguished them from their neighbors the Creeks and Cherokee Whether this was natural or was owing to their former intercourse with the French people of

 In the year 1907 the business of the trad ing house at St Stephens had so much increased in popularity that it brought hunters from all parts of the nation Hunters from the Creek settlement. at the falls of the Black Warrior. came fre- quently to trade, and I had occasional visits from Creek Indians residing be- yond the Alabama river. My instruc- tions from the superintendent of Indian trade made 1t my duty to be careful not to sell the Indians a damaged article of goods, without pointing out the dam age and reducing the price to what I considered it's actual value. When blankets, shawls or cotton and linen enods appeared to me to be lighter or m3re fiimsy and less durable than they purported to be, to point out the defect and reduce the price also.
 From 1907 to 18lo settlements were being extended higher up the river on both sides and westward on Chickasa wha. The counties of Wayne, Greene and Per ry were organized, the emigrants being principally from South Carolina and Georgia.
 "In October, 1S10 I received instructions from the war department to proceed to the Chickasaw nation and endeavor to obtain permission of the Indians to open 8 wagon road from CoIbert's Ferry,
 
 Port, on the Tombigbee, and to make ar engagements to transport goods thence to St. Stephens. l set out at once in obedi- ence to my instructions. 1 had an inter- view with the leading chiefs of the Chick asaws, who objected to opening wagon road, but promised facilities and safety for the transportation of the goods for the Choctaw trading house on pack horses at a very moderate expense. This was done and the goods were received at St. Stephens in good order, without the loss of an article.
 Tn the year 1S11 the quiet reigning in the Tombigbee (common name for Tom beckbee) settlements began to be some what disturbed by rumors of difficulties with England, and Col. James Caller ere ated some excitement about a better or ganization of the militia. and about the same time we received rImors of restless ness among the Creek Indians; indeed it was apparent in the action of parties of Creeks who came to the trading house
 "It has been already explained that for a long time the country along the Black Warrior river and for a large area on either side, by a solemn agreement be- tween the Creeks and Choctaws, was considered neutral territory and com mon hunting ground for both tribes: but neither tribe, without the consent of the other. could locate village or settlement therein. At last they mutually agreed to establish village at Black Warrior town (Tuscaloosa), or rather enlarge the settlement already there and dignify it by a name. This settlement became a men ace and a danger to the whites and their allies, the friendly Choctaws, when war was declared between Great Britain and the United States.
 "A cunning Creek Indian chief named O-ce-oche-motla. obtained permission of the Choctaws to make settlement at
