United glass workers union met in
the Building Trades temple Wednesday,
night with President Goodman in the
chair. One candidate was elected
and three applications for membership
received. There will be a special
called meeting next Wednesday night
to vote on affiliation with the labor
council. The following communication
bearing on the jurisdictional dispute
between the plumbers and united glass
workers unions, was received from the
general secretary-treasurer of the state
building trades couucil:
TO whom it may cgncern: The ninth an
Dusl convention of tbk state building trades
council of California rendered the following
decision in the trade jurisdiction dispute be-
tween the plumbers and the glass workers:
We, your commit. recommends that the
following be tie report of your committee:
The cutting polishing and finishing Of all
ers. and the drilling and installation of such
glass in connection with sanitary work as
lavatory and urinalss etc, belongs to the
plumbers. and we recommend that all such
glass to be handled by the members of the
plumbers union must bear the label of the
united glass workers.
As dispute has arisen and an interpreta-
tion has been asked to the intent and
meaning OF the hereinbefore quoted decision.
the general executive officers of the state
bnilding trades council Of California are of
the opinion that all the work of preparing
the glass for sanitary stations and 1ayato-
ries. including the cutting and boring Of
boles. be performed by members Of the
united glass workers union, working in their
respective shops. and that the installation
OF said sanitary glass be performed by mem
bers Of the plumbers gas and steam filters

The controversy seems TO have centered
around the word drilling AS the plumb
ers do not lay any claim to drilling, aud as
the skill required and the nature of the
work would make It's construction impracti-
cable, if not impossible, IL strict construc-
tioD should be placed upon this term.

eral executive officers of the state building
trades council that IL any drilling Is neces-
ssry, even after the glass slabs are delir-
cred on the building. they must be marked
and returned to the shops and perfected by
members of the united glass workers union.

Care of Injured Spanish Laborer

WASHINGTON. March 24.--In Spain,
when laborer is injured while doing
his work and temporarily incapacitated,
his employer pays an indemnity equal
to half the daily wage. In case the
incapacity is permanent the employer
pays two years wages and pays also
for drugs and medicines. If the man
dies the employer is liable for SIS of
the funeral expenses and an indemnity
to the relatives, fixed upon set scale.
These are the practical provisions of
the employers liability law as it is
reported to the bureau of manufactures
by Consul General Hill at Barcelona.
There is very little litigation about it,
the consul says.
The question of what effect such a
law has on the wage scale seems to
have solved itself in Spain, for the Sec
retary of the association for the en-
couragement of natural industry de-
clared to Consul Hill that the payment
of indemnity has had no effect on the
wage scale.

s,ons Abuse OF Good Thing

Senator Iod.c's bill to regulate inc
ueo of cold storage facilities for pre-
.oryino foods. reveals that the Senate
committee on cost of living mas
.,.acb,d the conclusion that "a very adj
,,ir,hlc system has been abused for
the purpose of cXacting an unreasoh-
able tribute from the public. There is
no doubt that any extensive system or
use. would enable the public to buy
food throughout the year at lower
average price than it would pay if 1t
is dependent upon the natural sources
of supply out Of season.
The general public has held the
opinion that these cold storage lacIll-
ties have been used to hoard food uhtl
such time as the price is unusually
high and then sell under the gulsc Oh
fresh food at an unfair profit. Inc
language of the Lodge bill and the
language he used in submitting the
matter to the Senate indicate that the
Senate committee found that the pup
lie had good ground for its opinion
Mr.. Lodges bill provides that food
kept in cold storage for more than one
wear shall be considered adulterated
and shall be branded as adulterated
foods are branded. A penalty is pro-
vded for misbranding in accordance
with the regulations prescribed under
the general pure food law. In the
light Of such facts as have been set
forth up to this time the Lodge bill
has much to commend it.

The Farming Special.

The Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege will direct a tour through certain
of the farming sections of the Bay
State. under the auspices of the New
England Investment and Security
Company, as a means of disseminating
knowledge of farm subjects in the
field. Massachusetts. like Maine, has
many miles of interurban electric rail-
way which serve rich farming sections.
Someone has hit upon the plan of fit
ting up trolley car with the equip
ment necessary to afford lecturers
facilities for talking to the farmers in
the towns where the farmers reside.
1t is but an outgroWth OF the familiar
farming special which has been used
extensively on the steam lines in some
road will lend itself to this new use
very readily indeed and will doubtless
be found even more efficient than the
steam railroad, because the schedule
of the electric lines is more elastic and
stops may be made almost anywhere.
The lecturers will be the best men
available. They will be accompanied
by railroad officials and others inter-
cstcd in the more extensive develop
m"nt of rural Massachusetts,.
There seems to be no good reason
Why the idea of a farming special
cannot be used to advantage in this
State 1t is recognized that most
farmers are too busy to visit agriCul-

Boy Scouts In America.

The Springfield Mass. Y. NJ. c. A.
has organized the first company of
boy scouts on this side of the Atlantic.
Evidently the leaders of the Springfield
organization see much that is COM
mendable in the English plan for
amusing growing boys and believe that
it can be made to serve a similar pur-
pose here. The idea was treated as
joke at first in England, but it
proved to be greater than its critics
and now embraces the boys of nearly
every parish. 1t has resulted in tax
ing the boys out into the open, III
quickening their best impulses ana
arousing in them feeling OF patriot
ism which could not have been a"ah-
ened in any other way. The affect
will be the same in this country out
with the additional advantages that
the opportunities for more extensive
field work are greater here and the de-
vclopment of certain features of the
work can easily be made more ex-
tensive.
Anything which tends to take boys
out into the open country for long
tramps, if made under proper super
vision. will accomplish 4 vast amount
of good at a critical period in the boys
This result has been
obtained in one town in Maine, by in
tercsting the boys in the study OF
geology ana mincralogy to the extent
that they spend a great deal Of their
time in doing field work. This has
taken the boys into the open, has
quickcned their minds in every way
ana has developed class of rugged
healthy. clean limbcd and clean MIND
ed young men who are rapidly raising
this village out of the lethargy which
has characterized it for some Years.
The quickening influence of even
small body of such young men in any
town is a vast power for good.
Nothing will develop boys more
RAPIDLY or more surely than work in
the open air If the study of geology
will do it. the sooner this study is TAX
en- up extensively, the better. If the
boy scout movement is needed. let US
have that. If there is something else
that is better. let some one suggest 1t.
But until something better is sug-
gested il would seem to be good judg-
ment to borrow the boy scout move
nent from our English friends and
work it to the limit.
