In spite of all his apparent reform
the dealers will be kept under close

official eye happens to be turned away
are known, and prompt measure will
be taken against the mean men who

THIEF ENTERS AND
LOOTS COPS HOME.

That the police are not immune from
robbery was demonstrated last night,
when the home of Patrolman William
Friedrich. at Alp South Sixth street
was entered during hts absence and
several articles of value stolen. The
robbery was reported to the Fourth
Precinct this morning.
The patrolman after his dinner last
night went visiting with his wife, and
did not return until late. On his ar
rival he found thai someone mad
gained entrance through an open
pantry window and made away with
his gloves, a lady's chain, shirt studs
and other articles. Insurance papers
and receipted bills were also taken.

measure and Immediately discovered
that it had a false bottom, which was
at least an inch higher than the real
bottom. The dealer had evidently nc
sooner left the seaIer's office thai he
had doctored the measure. trusting to
the official stamp to evHde detection
and comment in the event of a Gus
toner noticing the raised bottom. The
department will, of course, prosecute
the dealer in question.
The measure at the. left was pur-
posely made short and sold to an un-
scrupulous dealer on that account. II
was manufactured in New Hampshire
and sold by a supply house on Prince
street. 1t Is both too shallow and toe
narrow, and is one Of the most glaring
cases of its kind that the department
has had to contend with.
The that rests on the two
bottom ones is what is known as a re-
Tapped measure. The process of swim
ding in this case was to reform the
measure by pulling the lap closer and
thus reducing the circumference of the
measure.
The long string of screws and nuts
represents articles that were found
hanging or meat scales just below the

THERE'S A REASON"

Battle Creek, Mich. the home OF Mr.. G.
w Post, president of the Employers as
sociation, has just had the experience of
a strike and one in which organized la
Dor was eminently successful The en-
pioye of the Advance Threshing Machine
Co. a concern that employs some 100
men in various mechanical departments,
determined to organize. They did organ
ize and the company dismissed several
who were regarded as leaders in the
movement to organize. The committee
of the new organization demanded of the
MANAGEMENT that the dismissed men be
reinstated This was refused; in fact the
management refused to recognize the ap-
peal OF the newly-formed Machinists' To-
cal. A strike was declared which proved
successful within three days. the COM
pany making every concession, including
the reinstatement of the dismissed men
The fact is that Battle Creek wage-earn-
ers are generally organizing and they are
rot finding serious objection in most in
stances II shows that Battle Creek is
not entirely Post town; or else that
Mr.. Post is losing his grasp upon the
business element OF the town. Those
who are familiar with the situation claim
the latter to be the case. Battle Greek
business men have become digusted with
Mr. Post and his proclaimed labor meth
DDS. They do not purpose to longer per
NIT their city to suffer by a man who is
endeavoring to lead an onslaught against
wage-earners for mere advertising pur
poses-Motorman and Conductor.

A RARE FIND,

Recently upon leaving meeting hall,
visitor was heard to remark to mem
Der that it was one Of the best meetings
he had ever attended. That is the kind
of meetings we have replied the mem
Der. Il think we have one of the best
presiding officers ever saw in the chair"
he continued. Since he has been presi-
dent our meetings have never wanted for
attendance. He keeps things moving,
and allows no one man to monopolize the
meeting. 1t has become now SO that We
get through with the routine business of
our meetings SO early that we often have
time for debates upon various questions"
This same expression can be applied to
nearly every local in this association, in
the event that promptitude and despatch
and a systematic order in dealing with
the business that comes up characterizes
the meeting.-Motorman and Conductor.

PEANUT POST.

Readers of the daily papers have
doubtless observed the strenuous spasm
which "Nutty' Post of Battle Creek has
again been throwing in the advertising
columns. IL was all brought about by
the wreck of several cars loaded with
peanut shells said to have been con-
signed to Posts food factories at Battle
Creek The Bulletin did not print the
story originally but since Posts pub
lished TRADE many persons have inquired
what II is all about. hence the story is
printed as published in the Minneapolis
Union Advocate. as follows:
BE sure your sin will find you out,
was an admonition given to fallen man
centuries ago by one of the sacred writ
ers. and II seems likely to have a new
and conspicuous illustration in our day.
The Chicago Federation of Labor. in a
resolution based on facts brought to pub
lie notice by accident. asked that the
pure food commission at Washington in
vestigate the materials used by Battle
Creek Post of ''gripe nuts" fame in the
manufacture of his widely advertised
nostrums for the destruction of the hui
man stomach. 1t seems that few weeks
ago three carloads of peanut shells were
found in railroad wreck near Pittsburg,
Pa, which were on their way from the
south to Battle Creek, Mich, to be man.
ufactured by nonunion labor into grape
nuts postum slop and other trash at the
factories of Mr.. Post. Post has great
many harsh and abusive things to say
against organized labor No language is
too strong for him in his violent ebulli-
lions on this subject But even he can
not accuse organized labor OF ever trying
to work such a shell game as that ON the
American people. II the people of this
country want peanut shells for breakfast
We see no reason why they should not
have them. But they ought to get them
for what they are, and not be swindled
into buying them under fancy names and
pay tribute to this old sinner for the
swindle.
