LABOR SUNDAY
RESOLUTIONS.
1t Made Operative Will Result in
Better Things For Church And
Labor:

The question of the relation of the
church TO labor was discussed Mt vari-
Gus times during the Toronto convention
Most conspicuous, however, and most far
reaching was the resolution introduced
by delegate Frank Morrison of the Inter
national Typographical Union, and which
was unanimously adopted by the conven-
ton If this resolution is made lucrative
1t will result in better things for both
the church and labor. The resolution
reads as follows:
Whereas, The churches and the clergy
are taking growing interest in the study
of the labor movement; and
Whereas, Many of the ministers Of
the various denominations are indicating
that interest, in part by public dis
cusslon IN their pulpits of the problems of
the toilcrs; and
Whereas, 1t would be an ADVANTAGE
to both church and labor to select n
special day upon which the attention of
all classes may be concentrated upon
the questions which concern the toiIers J..
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Sunday hofor.
Labor Day in September be officially des-
lgnated by the American Federation of
Labor as Labor sunday and that the
churches of America he requested to de-
vote some part of t his day to a presen-
tation of the labor question; and be if

Railroads Plead Poverty.

Orleans of the Western railroads and
committees of their employers will meet in
a series of conferences beginning the
first week in December in the effort to adj
just demands made by the men for Il
change IN working conditions and an in
crease in wages. Both railroad heads and
leaders in the employees brotherhoods ex-
press the opinion that differences will be
settled without trouble.
Notwithstanding their willingness to
confer with the men on the subject of
increased wages the employers hold out
little hope that their wishes will be
granted. The roads are to poor, they say.

Two hundred men have gone back to
work at the Salineville mines of the Ohio
and Pennsylvania Coal Co, following
the settlement of n strike INVOLVING tbo
use OF mules of men to push the mine
cars. A week ago the mine operators
abolished the use of mules, and the men
were instructed to push the loaded cars
to the surface. There was -indipna-

made to put the mules back on the Job.
"A refusal resulted in the strike. The on
orators have agreed to again use mules

ALLIGATOR LIKES MUSIC.

A seven-foot alligator has been
disporting himself in the canal near
Pine street bridge. He has afforded
much amusement for the school
children, for the gator has evidently
musical ear. He only appears when
singing is gong on in the school.
When this fact became known a
number of the children went to the
bridge and to the strains of "On-
ward, Christian Soldiers" sung by
them, he lazily came from his hiding
place and enjoyed the impromptu
concert. The experiment has been
repeated several times with success.

FATE's QUEER TRICK.

A suicide which has just taken
place in Amsterdam caused the
death of a second person as well. A
lady from Utrecht took a room at
.one of the principal hotels. She had
tried another hotel, but upon learn
ing that there was no bath room
with gas she had declined to stay.
Next morning the bathroom door
was closed and bolted on the inside,
and a waiter who sleeps in the room
above was found dead from gas poi
soning. On the bathroom being
broken open, the lady was also found
dead and the gas full on. A sufferer
from nerves, she had committed sui
eide and unwittingly caused the
death of the young man who was
sleeping above.

THE NEW AUDITORIUM.
Architect Carriers Plans Accepted
Work to Begin Soon.

D. |. Carter, the architect who has
been working on plans for the new
auditorium, was in Welsh Tuesday
and submitted the completed plans
for the structure, and the same was
accepted by the building committee,
of which Mr.. Robinson is president.
The building as planned, will be 50xS0
feet, with four foot bay on the
front and a twelve foot porch on the
second floor. The auditorium with
the balcony will seat 700. There will
be stage 25x5O feet, which is be-
lieved to be amply sufficient.
The building will be equipped
throughout with plumbing. The mat
ter of lighting has not yet been set
tied upon, but it will be in keeping
with the rest of the building.
Bids for the erection will be re-
ceiyed by the president of the board
until August IL, the bid to include
both work and material. 1t is the
present expectation of the board to
have the building completed by No
vember first.

OLD AND NEW

The penny-or two-cent-post be-
tween England and America is a
Lew and at the same time very old
thing. 1t is over 200 years old. 1t
existed in 1898.
In those days shipmasters cross
ing the Atlantic either way were
very glad to carry letters and mes
sages. A week or two before their
ships sailed they would hang up
bags in coffee house, and all letters
dropped into these bags were carried
overseas and faithfully delivered at
the rate of a penny-or two cents
apiece.

REFUSED TO BE CAST DOWN
Example Of Real Optimistic Spirit
Displayed by Little New Eng
land Girl.

Willis L. Moore, chief of the
United States weather bureau, said
in a recent letter that bad weather
did men good. The struggle with
snow billiards., cyclones and hot
waves Sharpened their minds, gave
them backbone.
"New England's weather is the
worst" he sqid. "But those north
west winds of the Maine coast bring
down the invigorating fresh air, and
New England provides the stamina
of the American nation.
'"The New Enslanders are such
optimistS. On a spring day I
watched two little girls, one from
Washington, the other from Dark
Harbor, playing at housekeeping,
"On line in the garden they had
all the carpets and draperies and
rugs of their dolls house hung to
air, when the Washington girls bad
boy brother came and gave the line
a jerk, and upset all those pretty
little things in the dust.
"The Washington girl began to
cry with rage and despair, but the
little New Englander-she briskly
gathered up the scattered treasures,
smiled and said:
