MINERS MAY COMBINE.
The Two Big Unions Working With
 That End In View.

It is practically assured that great labor combination will be perfected in the mining industry in the near future. The United Mine Workers of America and the Western Federation of Miners are likely to form an alliance that will include upward of 100000 men and eventually over 500,O0O. The two bod ies are desirous of organizing all work CTS in and about the mines.
 It has long been the dream of Presi- dent T. l.. Lewis and Frank Hayes of the United Mine Workers and such men as Mover and Haywood and John O'Neil of the Western Federation of Miners to build up an organization that will completely control the mining in dustry. Last summer Frank Hayes visited the western men and invited them to join hands with the eastern coal miners. Next January the west erners will visit Indianapolis to meet the United Mine Workers representa- lives in convention and see if they can agree upon the details of the combina- tion.
 John O'Neil, editor of the Miners Magazine, the official organ of the Western Federation of Miners, said a few days ago that there is no longer any doubt that the alliance will be cOnSummated.

WHAT LABOR SPENDS.
Standard of Living In Germany and
 United States.

SHIkSo SIdAcos
 A recent issue of the Labor Gazette of the board of trade, London, gives the re5ai: Of an inquiry made by the imperial statistical department at Der lin into household expenditures of fam flies of small means ill Germany. The report was based primarily on returns from about a thousand families living in Berlin and Hamburg
 The average yearly income for the skilled Workmen who reported was found to be $45S.83 and the average expenditure $457.71, of which 51.5 per cent was spent for food alone. Among the unskilled laborers in both indus trial and commercial occupations the report showed an average yearly in- come of $4O9.7S and an average yearly expenditure of $411.70, 54 per cent of which went for food alone.
 A recent study of the standard of liv- ing in New York city, made under the Sage foundation, led to the conclusion that it was impossible for family of average size, five or six, to maintain normal standard of living on an in- come under $500 year. This conclu- sion has been substantiated by an in- vestigation by the federal bureau of labor, which showed that the average income among 1,415 workmen in the north Atlantic states, among whom the percentage of skilled labor was high, was $834S3. Against this was an average yearly expenditure of $77SO4, of which only 43 per cent was spent for food.
 An investigation by the New York Association For Improving the Condi- ton of the Poor made less than year ago showed that among a thousand men who had been compelled to ask for aid the average yearly wage when employed at full time varied from $575 to $525, as the times were good or bad. The men were practically all ablebod- jed family men, anxious to work. The percentage of skilled and unskilled la bOrers in the thousand was about equal.-New York Tribune.

Jurisdiction Question Settled.

At the convention of the Shirt. Waist and Laundry Workers International union recently the jurisdiction question was brought up, it being decided that the shirt workers will give up jurisdic- tion over all members who are em- ployed in stock factories-those estab- lishments in which shirts and waists are made and laundered-being made ready for the wearer in the one fac tory. It will retain jurisdiction over all members employed in commercial laundries, where work is done for the public. The employees in the stock factories will go to the Garment Work ers' International union, but the change will be made gradually as local agree ments expire in the various cities.

Labor In the Old Days.

A statute of King Edward VI. pro- vided that laborers could work only at a certain price or rate," under penalty in certain cases "of the pillory or loss of an ear." Another statute provided that if man refused to work at wages fixed by law he was to be branded with the letter "V' (meaning vaga- bonO and reduced to slavery for two years. If he attempted to escape, he was branded with an IS" and made a slave for life. If he then had spirit enough to protest he was hanged. It was not until 1795 that an English workman could legally seek work out side his own parish. Down to 1779 miners in Scotland were obliged to work in the pit as long as their en- ployers chose to keep them there, and they were legally sold as part of the plant.

CIGARS MADE BY
 DISEASED PEOPLE
What a Springfield, Mass, Ci- gar Maker Saw in the
 Philippine Islands.

Excerpt of letter to Mr. George w. Perkins, President International Cigar Makers Union, by MT. William Bancker of Springfield, Mass.
 ''I served two years in the Philip pines in the army, mostly around Ma nila, and out of curiosity l visited a number of shops there. Now, every soldier knows the uncleanliness of the average Filipino, and if you ask him he will tell you that many poor fellow came home in box by too close associ- ation with them as they are poison to the white man. They are all affected with skin disease and large majority are covered with open sores or scars. Leprosy, beri-beri, cholera, beubonic plague and other infectious diseases, are, as everyone knows, prevalent there. They sit half naked and work and scratch, while the air is rank with the smell of decayed fish and rank e. coanut oil, which the women use on their hair. Now, imagine one of these natives, whose teeth have routed black by the constant chewing of the betel- nut, biting out heads, which I took particular notice to see if they did, anG using their spittle to help paste the heads on their work, and you can form some idea of what the American smoker will get when the trust dumps these far-famed Manila cigars on the market. The United States government spends thousands of dollars to quarantine against these Asiatic diseases, and when one leaves the island for this country, himself and effects are thor oughly disinfected; yet in the face of all this our law makers propose to put their seal of approval on this bill which will put into the mouths of thousands of our citizens @ most prolific means of contagion; and if, as l firmly believe, it will be the means of injecting those filthy Asiatic diseases into the blood of the American people, the present ad- ministration can thank itself for it. l believe that even the trust smoker, if he has these things brought plainly to his notice, will think twice before pur- chasing these goods.'

in busy seasons and thus would hurt business. At least it would hurt it until the factories and their clients throughout the country will have be- come accustomed to it and will hsT:a made different working arrangements which it would necessitate.
 Thus, factory employing fifty girls. but making them work overtime dur ing the holiday season, would at that season have to employ sixty or seven ty girls if the ten hour law were en- forced. This would require more space ip the factory, more machines and an extensive change in arrangements. The customers of the factory likewise would have to be notified to put in their holiday orders earlier than they were accustomed to do, as the factory would not be able to fill these orders if they came late in the season.
 The friends of the ten hour law, however, say that the inconveniences which the manufacturers will be sub- jected to by its enforcement will be overcome quickly enough. On the oth- CT hand, the benefits to the women, to their children, if they are married, and to those yet unborn-the benefits to womanhood motherhood, the gain to country at large-will more than atone for the inconveniences to compara- lively small number of manufacturers.
 AS for the other argument that the women workers themselves will lose by the enforcement of this new law, those who champion it declare that can be easily renedied by having the employers pay better wages. Any wo- man, they declare, who works ten hours a day ought to be able to earn her livelihood in that time.
 Among the chief arguments for the ten hour law are the i'll effects which long hours have upon the physical well fare of women. It is pointed out by the champions of the new law that longer hours of work for women is nothing short of a national calamity. Long hours of work result in wasted bodies of the women workers, and this is reflected in their children.-Elias Tobenkin i'll Chicago Tribune.

REPUBLICANS TAKE JOKE
AS ALTOGETHER SERIOUS

NEW YORK. Nov. Ais the Hartford
Democratic town committees joke on the
Republicans or Democrats? This Ia a
question which is bothering some Of the
politicians here today. The Hartford,
Conn. committee in facetious mood sent
telegram to the Republican speakers
bureau here. asking:
Can we have Theodore Roosevelt for
an hours speech at Hartford next Mon
day."
Their Idea of the joke was apparently
to carry out the contention that his cam
palgning In New York state and Massa-
chusetts had won votes for his opponent.
They wanted TO convey sententiously to
the enemy in New York their feeling that
Roosevelt speech would insure a Demo
cratic victory
But the Republican headquarters in
New York failed to look at the brief
telegram from the viewpoint Of the
Democratic humorists. The message was
exhibited proudly and tho chairman of
the speakers bureau hurried with 1t to
EZRA Prentice, state chairman.
Look here. Ezra" he shouted with
manifested excitement. II guess we've
got EN- on the run at last. The Demo-
Gratis In Hartford must be in A bad way

DES MONIES. la. Nov. Through
snow, sleet, rain and cold, Theodore

reception was distinctly cordial. People
pattered through the slush in crowds to

lican candidate for congress. They
cheered him with as much enthusiasm
as could be mustered on such a day.

Davenport and then came to Des Moines,
stopping on tho way for short speeches
from the platform of his cur at West
Liberty, Ia, Iowa City and Marengo
At West Liberty and at Marengo,
several hundred persons stood in the
snow al the station to listen TO him.
The reception of Colonel Roosevelt at
Des Moincs was the most striking of the
day In spite of unfavorable weather
conditions, the downtown streets were
lined with crowds which cheered con-
stantly and which kept the colonel on
his feet, bowling and waving his hat as
he moved through the city, escorted by
a troop of cavalry.

welt went to his car TO start on the
homeward trip. He is due in Chicago
