upon the Introduction of the foreign

but the pearl resulting is but half

these together and secured a fairly
marketable stone. But it had no such
value as would a stone that was nor
maIly spherical. They are now pro-
ducing these spherical stones. They
guard the method of doing this with
the greatest tenacity. Yet Doctor
Rartsch declares that it is a merely
mechanical process and can be accom-
plished by anybody who will take suf-
ficient pains.

produce practically perfect stone. 1t

Thus is Japanese ingenuity outdoing
the Yankee by applying the informa
tion gotten from him.
The fresh water mussels of the
United States each year produce $780,
coo in pearls as an incident in the
gathering of the shells for the making
of buttons. These mussels are great
fellows, as big as plate, and excellent
producers OF mother of pearl, the ma
terial from which pearl buttons are
made, and this is the test of the ability
to produce good ornamental pearls.
Great quantities of the biggest and
best shell in the world are produced
throughout the Philippine islands. The
gulf of California yields more natural
pearls and of a better quality than any
section of the world with the excep-
tion of Ceylon. So the possibility OF

In Japan, it seems almost a certainty
that great numbers of people will
shortly enter the business and that
pearls will be artihcially produced in

"There is but one limit" says Doctor
Bartsch, Ito the ability of the people
to produce pearls artificially. That
limit is in the number of men obtain
able who have the skill to carry on the
work. The operation is a delicate one.
1t must be accomplished with great
precision. Men trained in laboratory

be clever and dexterous. OF course it
would be possible to train numbers of

Fire Him Out!

A member of the International Steam ShOvelers
union has publicly and premedtatedly disobeyed the
injunetions of unionism, which is matter of more
than national moment and the world would like to
know what's going to be done about it.
A certain business was declared under boycott
throughout this country for having employed nom
union labor in preference to union labor offense
of the most grievous nature, according to unonism,
and all union labor people were publicly warned
against patronizing or In other ways giving aid on
countenance to this business concern. The penalty
for disobedience is fine or expulsion. This matter
given the widest publicity and yet this member
alluded to did boldly and defianty patronize that
concern and by his patronage induced thousands of
others to give that concern financial aid.
Clearly, honesty and good policy dictate that this
guilty union should be fined expelled, or both,
BY his union. We think BOTH
Tt happens that the guilty member of the Interna-
onal Steam Shovelers union is the president OF the
United States Mr.. Taft having been created an hon
orary member of that union at Panama not long ago.
To let this guilty member off because he is presi-
dent would be pilng exhibition of toadyism on
top of that similar exhibition made when he was
created member. Of course, Taft never handled
shovel but If he had kept the air full of dirt since
he was ten years DID, it should be condonement of
his offense 1t would be putting titles above men,
the very idea which organized labor should combat
most persstently vigorously and impartially.
To let him off merely because he is an honorary
member would be fully as bad Honorary member
ship in any organization is senseless and in 80
out of 100 means unaduterated toadyism fellow
comes along who is puffed out with political,
mercial, financial social conspicuousness. He
doesn't want to join organization as working,
useful member the organization is afraid to have
him, and he is made an honorary member, orna-
mental and useless although in cases produc-
tive of a small assessment.
Mr.. Taft never performed any manual labor. He
did do overtime ON one occasion at hunting up legal
technicaltes and precedents for failing the manual
laborers of railroad corporation. When labor
ions get to making such honorary members,
they advertise their toadyism and servity, and
might well go to issuing honorary tickets to
heaven for all the effect they will have general
spect, sympathy and support.
W. III. Taft has publicly and grossly betrayed his
union That union should not be permitted to Jet the
treachery pass without roaring protest from all
the honest, uncorrupted unions on earth.

voice was nothing but a whisper.
In vain; there was no answering
sound, no help. His voice was lost
among the palmetto tangles.
He ceased and pulled the chain

head against the ball and elNd his
