TIT FOR TAT.
Paper Makers Fought Alone and Now
Sulphite Workers Can Do the Same,

Cileuns Falls, y. =, March The
International Paper Co, is threatened
with another general strike. At Cor
inith, n. Y. 600 men are already be-
cause a back tender was discharged
and it was learned today that the pulp
sulphte workers had previously ma
tured pIans for a gene,al strike, to take
effect March 20. In this connection 1T
is noted that the men al Corlnth are
ordered out by James H. Malin, preSl-
dent of the Pulp Sulphite Workers, IN
the absence of j. l.. Carey, president
of the Paper Makers Union who is
now in New York comforting with the
Printing Trades Council on what ac-
ton shall he taken looking to fixing q
union labor to paper He is expected
at Corinth tomorrow.
The Pulp Sulphite Workers will de-
mand 10 per cent. advance in wages
and no Sunday work. When the Inter-
national Paper Co. made 5 per cent
cut in wages, after the panic Of 1908.
the Sulphite Workers accepted the cut
but the Paper Makers Union struck
They fought it out alone and lost. 1t
is thought possible that Carey on
reaching Corinth may order the paper
makers back to work, thus leaving the
sulphite workers to fight it out alone
again. $50

Possible Murder 50
AT Richford, Vt.

Richford, VT, March THE frightfully
mutilated body of Albert Mersey, a young
farmer was Monday found scattered
along the tracks of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad OH both sides of the information
al boundary about one mile north of here.
The severance of the head. the two legs
and one arm are not such as to preclude
the possibility of the body having been
mangled by Il swiftly passing train. But
the finding, nearby the body of a. blood
stained axe and the presence in the abdo-
men of a deep wound such as might be
caused by an aXe-cut indicated murder.

Never has greater interest centered
in boxing contest in this city than in
the one to be pulled off at City hall
tomorrow night. Two Of the hardest
contests seen in Boston in a long time
took place between George Alger of
Cambridge and Billy Nixon Of Boston
So fast and furious was every round
that the ether events scheduled for the

Nixon had a shade on Ager the first
meeting while Alger won the decision
in their last contest. Each is confident
that he can trim the other in the Au

in Eastern states are following in
the footsteps Of the teachers in
Chicago and are organizing unions
chartered by tbs sasA 1Il !s| Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
They seek affiliation with the
central bodies and adopt minimum
scales, graded according to the
class. The lowest scale seems to
be $50 per month, and from that
up.
We are pleased to note that
higher education does not inter-
fere with the sense Of responsible
ity of the teacher of today for
the teacher that is to follow. Had
the teachers done that years ago
there might be a better under
standing Of the trades union

/. r. j. HAS LIVED UP
TO ITS OPPORTUNITIES

The Raleigh IN. CO. Evening
Times, speaking editorially of the
remarkable progress made by the
International Typographical I'm
ion in the way Of wage increase
and hour reductions, concludes its
compliment in this way:
IAN interesting comparison can
be made in the number of hours
in a year and the number of hours
in a mans life. The number of
hours saved to the union men each
year is 100000. The number Of
hours in a year is $3.50. The num-
Der of hours in the average life is
about 100000. The comparison
will show that 100000 hours
equal twenty-four average lives
or forty-eight working lives. The
union has accomplished all this in
these five years and now there is
nothing but good will between the
employers and employees. The un-
ion is living up to it's, opportun-
tiles. While it has gained a.
shorter day and increased wages,
it has not made this the para
mount issue Of it's campaign. It
has striven and till strives for
better standard Of living for it's
men. And in this it is being sue
cessful."

WASN'T SIDE-TRACKED
BY SOUNDING BRASS

The action of the Presbyterian
general assembly in protesting
against a forthcoming prize fight
which furnishes a good deal Of
"news' material for the daily
press, has called out criticism
that has in: it a good deal mora
reli gious sense than it is likely
to get credit for from the d0min-
ant elements in the body to which
it is addressed. This criticism
very brief, very pointed-is from
the pen of Bolton Hall, son of the
late DR.. John Hall, one Of the
most distinguished of Presby-
terrain clergymen in his day. So
much Of Mr.. Halls letter of crit
icism as We find in the newspapers
is as follows:
While in every big city young girls
are snatched away to lives of slavery,
while all over the land little children
are worked to death in our factories,
While the monopolies put prices so
high as to increase these shrieking
evils, Is 1t possible that the church
can find nothing more serious to at
tack than a prize fight, already suf-
ficiently we'll advertised? It certain
~ makes one feel indignant who has
eyes to see or even heart to feel,
that the great Presbyterian church
assembly devotes it's valuable time and
energy to a probably harmless fight
between two roughs. I am the son
of clergyman, myself a member of
the Presbyterian church, and I speak
often in the churches, and it makes
me sick to see the petty, ineffective
time-serving of the church organiza-
tions. Whenever there is a real fight
on political or social evil the churches
are sure to be found dragging a red
herring across the trail with a. 'cru-
SADIE" against some such horror as
Sunday saloons or playing "craps.' y
| Religion only makes itself contempt
ible by such a. bid for support as an
! anti-prize fight protest. -.
There does seem to be in the or.
ganized religion Of our times
much more concern for the clean.
illness Of platters on the outside
than on the inside. This concern
is by no means confined to the de-
nomination that Mr.. Hall crit.
icizes, but his criticism is not mis-
directed. .-. <~.. ~ j.. ~"
