EIIIKLABOR

Some idea Of the extent of the
tIeup in freight traffic in the loo al
yards Of the Northern Pacific by the
strike of the Switchmen's Union of
North America can be gained from
the fact that during the two months
that the strike has existed, that 48
carloads Of merchandise has been
weighed, if reports coming from
the Inside" are true. Before the
trouble began, it is declared, all the
way from 80 to 100 carloads of mer.
chandise were weighed each day on
the company's scales down in the
local yards.
When asked regarding the mat
ter this morning, yard employees
said that it is evident that the COM
pany has not the time to attend to
the weighing of the cars, and sug-
gested that perhaps the cars We're
being weighed by hand" That is
as much as to say that there Is a
likelihood that they are being lump
ed off-their weight being guessed
without the aid of the scales. How
ever, the public and the shippers
it is declared are not. the ones to
suffer through this elimination Of
the practice of weighing. 1t is sim
ply the loss of the railroad com
pany in the chances it is taking of
being beaten by competitive trans

approached with the Baroness Won

BAKERS BENEFIT FUND
SMELLS.

Spokane union bakers are likely
experiencing an inclination to
swell up little over the encour-
aging report from the secretary of
the sick and death benefit depart
ment of their international. Ac-
cording to advices that have reach
ed Spokane, the sick and death
benefit fund of the Bakers and
Confectionery Workers Information
al Union of America contains $16,-
S33.29, which is an increase of
$9,935.13 over last year. During the
last year, it is reported, benefits
amounting to $7,S6S47 have been
paid.
Under new plan that has been
adopted by the INTERNATIONAL it is
now compulsory for members who
are able to pass a physical exami-
nation, to take out policy in the
sick and death benefit. Heretofore
it has been at their pleasure to take
advantage of the benefit offer or
to leave it alone.
When sick, they are paid Sc per
week from the fund, and they are
entitled to a burial benefit of 500
for any one of the first five years
that they are paying dues to the
bnefit department; $3.50 for the
next five years: $3.50 between 10
and Is years, and $3.50 after they
have subscribed to the fund for
more than Is years. The fund also
carries a benefit of $50 for mem
bers at the death of their wife.

1t was not to be denied that there
had been talk regarding this lady,
and that Calhoun knew it. though
not from me. Much of it was idle
talk, based largely upon her mys-
ferrous life. Beyond that. a woman

among her sex. There were dark
glances for her that night. do not
deny, before Mr.. Calhoun changed
them. For, however, John Calhoun

of these knew well his austerely
spotless private life, and his scrup-
ulous concern for decorum.
Beautiful she surely was. Her
ball gown was of light golden stuff,
and there was a coral wreath upon
her hair, and her dancing slippers

LADIES INVITED TO SMOKER

Have you bought ticket to the
switchmen's smoker? The date of
the smoker will likely be changed
to February 20, because of the fact
that Freed Creel, instructor at the
S. A. A. c., who is to give a fine
demonstration of his skill in box
ing, is to be engaged at another af-
fair on the night of the 18th, when
the switchmen intended to hold
their smoker at the state armory
hall.

THE DAY in
THE MARKETS

Liquidation in SnOwStOrm by
Mullan interests continues to act
as a bear factor on quotations. Trad
ing was dull and lifeless with the
exception of New Republic, Alameda
and Monitor. Out of town orders
were limited to small lots. Any
further pressure on Snowstorm will
probably push this stock down to
around $40, as the buying power
does not seem to amount to much.

AT first 1t was to have been held

to Chicago, and later again Hofer
wanted it back in Quincy. So Pres
ident Justice decided upon Quincy
and SO wrote to Hofer. But in the
meantime Hofer decided to bow to
the wishes of those around the circuit
and this morning an article appeared
in the Quincy Wing, stating that Ho-
fer was willing that the gathering
should be held in the Windy City.
Justice has sent letter to Hofer,
which had evidently not been receiy-

the place, and October 6 as the date
