From The Sioux City Journal.

There's swing about their singing
That is captivating quite,
And it simply fills your bosom
With a fond and deep delight,
And joy spreads like molasses
over every earthly thing
When the bassos join the tenors
And those Oberliners sing.
They can sooth you with ditty
That was made to make you sleep,
Or can harrow up your feelings
With a song that's full of weep;
They can set your heart TO beating
With a song of sweetest love,
Or can pipe a sacred anthem
That would watt your soul aove.
They can haul your soul to lazes
With a song a la the coon,
Or can take you up to glory
With Methodistic tune;
For their lungs are filled with music
And their throats are full of glee,
And a fellow when he hears them
Lets his soul go on a spree.
There's a swing about their singing
That is mighty hard to beat,
And they tickle your best feelings
In way that is treat,
And your bosom gets to heaving
And your heart goes ting-a-ling
When the bassos Join the tenors
And those Oberliners sing.

Pickets Report Only Few Shops

yesterday detailed strike pickets to the
East Side factories for the first time since
the strike started. Sunday is the first day
of the working week in most of the East
Side shops, and there were reports that
strike breakers were being employed. The

all but few of the shops affected by the
strike were still closed.
Employees of small firms which want to
make settlements asked the strike leaders
to get the agreements ready without loss of
time. Alexander Bloch, the chairman of
the strikers settlement committee, said
that number of independent manufact-
urers called on him at the Victoria Hotel to
settle, but he told them that he did not
believe settlement made on Sunday would
be binding.
With regard to arbitration Bloch said
that the State Board of Arbitration was

COMMUTERS STILL FIGHTING
Unless Court Prevents, Rates Be-
come Effective Wednesday.

East Orange, n. J., July II tSpeciaD.-
The Commuters League Of New Jersey,
fighting to the last ditch in every sense of
the word, will try tomorrow to determine
whether or not an injunction against the
increase of railroad rates Of fare, so far
as they apply to commuters, may not be
obtained.
The question is to be answered within
the next three days, for on Wednesday,,
unless something happens TO prevent 1t,
the railroads will make affective all tie
new communication rates.
Terry Parker, of this city, will see
Frank H. Sommer chairman of the State
Public Utilities Commission, tomorrow
and lay before him the proposition that
the commission head the application to
the United States Circuit Court for an in
junction against the enforcement of the
railroad rates.
Mr.. Parker holds that the railroads
should be enjoined from the enforcement,
first, because the Interstate Commerce
Commission did not do what 1t ought to
have done, order the suspension Of the
rates pending an investigation into the
question of their Justice; and. second, be-
cause the railroads did not properly post
notices Of the proposed advance.

DECREASE IN |DLENESS
State Labor Bulletin Shows
Better Trade Conditions.

Albany, July 1.-THE quarterly bulletin
of the State Department of Labor, just is
sued, shows a substantial reduction in Idle
ness among organized wage earners. Out
of approximately 10000 organized wage
earners 62,S51 were reported idle on the
last working day ir March, which is equal
to 16.1 per cent. The figure for the same
date of 1909 was 21.1 and is less than half
that for 190S when, at the height of the
depression following the panic of 1907, the
percentage was 35.7 The average per-
centage of idleness among trade unionists
at the end of March for the fourteen years
1S97-191G is 1919 Idleness at the end Of
March this year, therefore, was below the
average. Further. it was below that shown
in any other individual year since 1886 with
only four exceptions. In 1902 and 1903 the
percentages were 1876 and 12.1, in 1905 it
was Isl. while in 1906. which was the
record year, it was only 90
A comparison OF the figures for continu-
Gus idleness during the quarter-that is, for
those who had no work at all during Janu-
airy, February and March-showS almost
exactly the same result.
With less idleness there was the neces
sary complement of steadier employment
for those who did work in the first quarter
of 1910. as compared with 1909 or 1905 Thus
the average number of days worked by
32S ,977 union men this year was 67-3, which
may be compared with $50 last year or 64.7
in 1905. The figure for 1910, however, is
only approximately the same as that for
1907 (67.0 and is below the record of TOT in
1906 With more work earnings inevitably
increase, provided wages remain as good or
better. As matter of fact. the depart
ments index number of per diem earnings
IN organized trades for the first quarter of
1910 stood at 123, or three points higher
than that for the same quarter of 1909 or
19oS in each of which years it was 120 in
dicating level OF wages 2.5 per cent higher
this year.
Under the combined influence of both
steadier employment and higher wages,
therefore, the index of quarterly earnings
shows an advance from lis for the first
quarter of 1903 to 12 for the first three
months of 1910, or an increase appointing
to 81 per cent. In comparison with earlier
years the index of per diem wages shows
higher level for 1910 than for any other
year since 1896. The index of quarterly
earnings was higher in 1910 than in any
other year since 1896 except 1906. when.
owing TO the record figures for employment
in that year, the quarterly earnings index
was L6 per cent higher than that for this
