The United States Steel corpora
ton has raised the black flag OF
Nothing to arbitrate!" in its war
on the tinplate workers, as did Car
negie and Pullman nearly a gener-
alton ago. 1t has enwalled it's mills
and strung barbed wire charged
with electricity, has employed regi-
ments of private police and strike
breakers and armed them to the
teeth, and in fact the trust is CIV
ing a plain demonstration of being
in fnsurrection and prepared to en-
force its will at all hazards.
Why is the United States Steel
corporation making war upon ma
rine workers, iron and steel work
ers and tinplate workers at this
time? Why are some 10000 men
thrown out of employment and
compelled to battle against few
captains Of industry, backed by
countless millions wrung from the
brain and Drawn of these very
same workers?
Is the mere question of open
shop at stake? No. That Is only a
surface indication, a cloak to dis
guise the real purpose of the far
seeing gentlemen who control the
trust. The real object is not to
deal impartially between union and
nonunion workmen, as the open.

injection of alcohol. This deadens
the nerve for a month or two
long enough to see the season
pass. Physicians are not yet will
ing to cal it an effective cure till
they can see what Is the ultimate
effect on that nerve-find out
whether the cure will not bring on
new complications.
The cause, the are agreed. is the
contact of the pollen of certain
plants and flowers, as roses and
rag weed, with this nasal nerve,
which in the case of sufferers from
the disease is more exposed and
more sensitive than in the rest of
the world.
1t comes back to fits victims
every year. Unlike Santa Claus
and other national visitors. it never
forgets or overlooks any of its
friends.

"Ker-chew! nice breeze, yes
ker-chee! - the tariff - ker-ker.
chew,-and she said-ker-choooo!
in a dry district, you know-ker-
choo-CHOO!-make It no trumps-
ker-ker-ker-CHOO!"
Beginning with little, gentle
sneeze and shuttle along the gulf
of Mexico, then spreading red
noses and sore threats upward and
outward across the country till by
midsummer it swells to a great
rumble and roar of er-choos, hay
fever-King Hay Fever-who
names his subjects by the tens of
thousands and laughs at doctors
has started his campaign for 1909.
Toward the end of June, in what
is rose fever, or rose cold, the fore
runner or messenger of the king
opens fire. Old Hay Fever himself
starts in July, and by August is
sweeping through the country
swifter, fiercer, deadlier than even
the San Jose scale.
With his advance comes the
rush for the mountains and lakes
and the seashore Only the cold
air and the wet breezes can foil
him. Only Jack FIpst, another
king, can drive him back to the I'M
known country where he spends
his winters.
MISUNDERSTANDING! Mr. Man
or Mrs. Man wakes up some morn
ing with headache and sneeze
and a bright cerise nose.
Ker-chew! It's the note of warn
ing. The business man drops his
work, the street car conductor asks
leave of absence, the politician
leaves his web of intrigue and lets
the tariff adjust itself, the society
woman cancels her engagements
and telephones for the movers, the
summer girl gets out her ham,
mock, the preacher calls his trus-
tees in a special meeting.
Ker-chew! When the call comes
you must go-must drop every
thing and go north. Your job the
deal, the game, the work, the court
ship-the wedding, even-nothing
must stand in the way of the sum-
ihoHo VI NlAS nay reVeI.
The White mountains. the great
lake resorts, the North Atlantic
sea coasts see a great invading,
sneezing army every summer. 1t is
an army of hay fever sufferers,
who sit on piazzas or stalk through
the woods or tumble in the surf,
praying for an on-shore wind.
No effective cure has been dis
covered for hay fever. There is a
great association of hay fever suf-
ferers, embracing thousands of
members, with big offices in Chi
cago. The members pay an annual
due, and every cure, or reported
cure, or new theory of curing, is
hurried at once to the Chicago Of
fices, tested, and, if genuine, the
results sent broadside to the mem
bers.
The newest remedy consists of
treating the nerve in the nose
which brings the trouble, with az

ALDR|CH TURNS
ANOTHER TRICK
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON. July 9.-Consid-
cradle unfavorable comment was
made today among members of the
house over the action of the sem
ate, at the instigation of Aldrich,
in appointing conferees for the
tariff bill before the measure was
returned to the house. Ordinary
procedure is to send the amended
bill to the house and await it's &C.
ton before appointing conferes.
Aldrich claimed his course was
adopted to same time, but some
house members feel they are in
suited. Senate conferees were ap-
pointed last night. For passage of
tariff bill in the senate, the first
conference will probably be held
tomorrow.
The members are Aldrich, Bur-
rows, Penrose, Hale, Cullom, re-
publicans; Daniel, Money, Bailey,
democrats
Republican house conferees are
Payne. Dalzell, Mccall, Boutell and
Calderhead.
