can be said that TIE most Important
committees have hard-working heads,
they will doubtless make an hon
est effort to get the machinery under
way at the earliest possible moment.
As the primary purpose Of the ses-
sion is to consider revenue and appro-
priation measures, the most import
ant working bodies are the appropria-
tions and ways and means committees
of the house, and the finance commit
tee of the senate. The ways and
means have a splendid head in the
person of Hon. S. A. Morrison. of Gre
NADIA, who reached here Monday after
noon. Mr.. Morrison is convalescent
from a recent period of severe illness,
but declares that he is in good shape
for the grind.
Lieut.-Governor Manship will be re.
quired to name a new chairman OF
the senate finance committee, made
vacant by the death of Senator Sam
pie. He has several persons avail
able, but has thus far not determined
on his selection. The Lieut.-Governor
must also provide committee assign
ments for the three new members of
the upper body, and he has been CIV
ing these subjects much consideration
during the past few days.
AS a guide for the lawmakers, the
Governor will incorporate in his mes
sage careful and comprehensive re.
view Of the states finances, and the
revenues that will be needed for the
next two years, basing estimates on

POTATO FARMERS GET RICH
lona island Gardeners Sell Million
eushels-Price High Because
Supply Is Exhausted.

- Riyerhead, L. From the present
condition of the potato market both on
Long Island and in the distributing
centers of New York and Brooklyn,
it is indicated that the island article
will be no lower in price this year
than it is now. The prevailing price
for the fancy grades is rs cents a
bushel to the farmer, cash at the load
ing stations in Suffolk county.
The reason for this belief IL in the
fact that the biggest part Of the 1909
crop has already been disposed Of
Southold, Peconic and Cutchogue on
the main line, and Easthampton,
Wainscott and Bridgehampton on the
Montauk division, are practically
cleaned up.
It is figured that more than 1000, 900
bushels have already been sold. This
quantity has paid the farmer the cost
of the crop and left him independent
as to the disposition Of the remainder.
The balance is so much surplus cash
to him. He feels, in view of the fact
that there is always a more or less
steady demand for the islands," that
re can safsly store the balance and
cor his own price. This is also

ALLIED PRINTING TRADES.

We are receiving numerous samples of
printed matter bearing the Allied Print
ing Trade union label that heretofore
were minus the label. The advertising
manager of firms that have mailed these
pieces of printed matter 10 us have come
to the conclusion that the label is a good
thing and that our interests are mutual
We ask the members of organized la
Dor to assist us in this campaign by look
ing for the label on all printed matter
that comes to their notice and if the
label is not there, bring it to the Trades
Assembly hall and drop it in the box
installed there for that purpose-one of
the best arguments that We can advance
for the continuance of this label cam
paign is to be found in the reports OF
the delegates to their organization.
The delegates report that each week
they find it more difficult to obtain local
printed matter not bearing the union la
bel. We shall continue this campaign
until all that it is possible to win over
to the use of the Allied Printing Trades
label have been made to see the right.

THE HAND OF STEEL

steel hand that is holding the eight-hour
bill in committee, and when it will be re-

This bill has been before Congress now
for IA years, and has gone to the sub
committee to be smothered as long as
rossible, The subcommittee is: Vree-
land of New York, Madison of Kansas,
Allen of Maine, Ramey of Illinois, and
Covington of Maryland.
The Bethlehem company is controlled
by Charley Schwab and is a part of the
United States Steel Corporation. This
company has at present s40000.000 worth

scale of Denver Typographical Union be
declared open. In these words the mo-
ton was put by Mr.. Elwell of the Smith

scale of the job branch of the Typograph-
ical Union of the city of Denver open and
a scale committee consisting of Messrs.
Elwell, Parker. OFT, Bailey and Hedley
was elected from the floor of an over
flowing and enthusiastic meeting
The scale under which this branch of
the printing trade has been working was
closed Aug. 81, 1907. and was to run for
one year. If either party to the contract
desired they could open the same by CIV
ing co days notice previous to Sept. 1 in
any succeeding year. This is the first
step taken to raise the scale of the job
men.
The minimum scale for this branch is
s22 a week, and is the most poorly paid

should have the encouragement of all

Organized labor has just cause to be
proud when it stors and considers the
great strides that hive been matie by
the united efforts OF the working men
and women of this country. We are all
practically working together, as we are
all banded together under that great and
mighty organization, the American Fed

much in the cause of the working men
and women How many hundred thou
sands of toilers owe their emancipation
from long hours. l1w wages and unhealth-
full conditions to the efforts and labors of
this wonderful organization, and yet how
often and how hard it is to bring the
workers or the public IN general into the
general way of thinking that in unity
there is strength and that the working
man must organize as well as the mer-
chant. banker and fAncier.
When organized labor will generally
recognize the use and power of its one
weapon. the union abel, and will demand
it on every article they purchase. then.
and not until then, may they hope for
the conditions they are surviving to bring
about through less effectud means. No

A LABOR TEMPLE
For eittsburg to Accommodate the 100,
900 of the Iron City Trades
Council.

Pittsburg. that great hub of industrial
America, is to have a Labor Temple.
This was virtually decided by the enthu-
siasm displayed at a recent meeting of
delegates from the different trades unions
composing the Iron City Trades Council,
when those desiring to attend could not
get standing room in the hall where the
meeting was held.
The Organization and Finance commit
tee, in conjunction with the officers and
board of directors of the company. are
vigorously pushing the work with a zeal
which cannot fail to bring success. The
plans are to have an up-to-date building
with the finest possible equipment for
its purposes. and to provide adequate
headquarters for all organized bodies of
the district. with a spacious auditorium
for conventions, mass meetings or other
large gatherings.
The determination to have a Labor
Temple has taken such strong hold
upon trade unionists of the entire district
that the ultimate success of the move
ment is a matter of very short time,
inasmuch as the Iron City Trades Council
alone represents 100 900 people. The
stockholders are representative of every
class of organized labor and the prelim-
mary steps will be pushed rapidly to
completion.

A RAILROAD STRIKE NOT LIKELY

Chicago, March 10.-Unless the rail
roads of the West, Northwest and South
west make additional concessions their
tiremen and engineers. numbering up
wards of 1000. will strike to compel
higher wages and improved working con-
dtions.
This is the ultimatum of the employees
as expressed by complete returns from
the strike vote" recently taken by the
men on about fifty railroads in these
sections of the country.
More than Sc per cent of the union
employees of the railroads were opposed
to accepting the terms offered by the
managers. and large per cent. of the
nonunion men voted against the PROPOSE
ton.
1t is expected by all concerned that the
matter will be adjusted.
