Here and Abroad.

The Labor Gazette Of the Board of
Trade of London gives the result of an
Inquiry made by the imperial statistical
department at Berlin into household ex
penditures OF families of small means in
Germany The average yearly income
for the skilled workman was s45S.S3. and
the average expenditure s457.7l. of which
ol-6 per cent was spent for food alone
Among the unskiued laborers in both in.
dustriai and commercial occupations
there was an average yearly income OF
SilL7S and an average yearly expendi.
ture Of s40s-7O. 81 PEI cent of which
went for food alone.
Compared with this. recent study Of
the standard of living in New York CITY
made under the Sage foundation, led to
the conclusion that IL was impossible for
family of average size to maintain a
normal standard of living on an incoa4
under $500 year This conclusion has
been substantiated by an Investigation
by the federal bureau of labor. which
showed that the average income amor -

states among whom the percentage NJ

Against this was an average expenf s,pre

tion in Denver as they had anticipated.
surmounted worse obstacles than they
had yet found in Denver, notwithstand-
ing the reputation of the Denver City
Tramway company. The organizers, both
international and local assistants. had
been followed by company detectives and
spoilers. and their actions had been
bounded at all times. However, the
harder the task. the greater the victory.
and they had no complaint to make.
when the international once pitches its
tents it does not pull its stakes until it
has accomplished the objects sought,
said Mr.. McMorrow. will be a perma-
nent fixture in Denver for some time to
come, and you can just keep your ear to
the ground and listen to the rumble. The
tramway is spending hundreds Of dollars
trying to prevent the organization OF
their employees, but they are throwing
that money away We already have q
| large number. as our membership rolls
demonstrate. and we will have the rest
in time"
Organizer Fay followed Mr.. McMorrow
and his statements were along the same
! line. corroborating those of his colleague

Garment WORKERS
WIN BIG VICTORY

The striking Garment Workers gained
complete victory in Newark. n j., last
week. All the bosses signed an agree
ment granting the demands made on
them. Every factory has resumed work
and happiness again reigns in the camp
of the union.
The strike, which lasted Only two
days. kept over ESQ men out of work.
The demands of the strikers-frst, that
their wages be paid weekly, and in
United States currency; second, that all
employees in a factory must be union
men-were all acceded to. The factories
were compelled to quickly surrender on
account of the large number of advance
orders on hand.

SWITCHMEN'S STRIKE
FAR FROM ENDED

Parties. whose interest it is to give
currency to the report. are busy circu-
lating rumors in the Twin Cities that
the striking switchmen are returning to
work under the old conditions 1t is
true that a few have returned, having
been won from their allegiance 20 their
fellow unionists, by promises of better
positions and gratuities of one sort and
another. but these deserters on the en-
tire systems that were Struck do not
number thirty. and this we have from the
books. There has been delay. usual in
all strikes at first, in paying the bene-
fits, but this has happily overcome. and
no striker is moment in need of any
thing once he makes his wants known,
The strikers are remaining firm. They
have not received the financial aid from
the A. F. of l.. they seem to be entitled
to. They do not seem to have had the
support from the A F. Of l.. Railway De-
partment that was expected. but the de-
partment meets this week and undoubt-

done to aid them in their courageous
struggle for fair wages and humane con-

The king of Sweden has recently been
working as a stevedore for the purpose
of finding out how the laborers of his
country feel. He has taken a wise
course. The quickest and surest way to
find out how a laborer feels is to labor
for a while

1t is possible for one brother to
bat in place of the other if he de-
sires. They tell of games in which
they have played where their
MINES were far enough apart on
the batting list so that one would
not be obliged to bat while the
other was on the bases. If one
seemed to have better luck in solv-
ing the pitchers delivery than the
other he would do the batting.
When only one position is being
filled by Davis twin, providing
the other is on the field. and they
nearly always are together, the
better fielder can do the fielding
and the better the batting.
The twins last winter paid court
to one young woman. Jesse would
call one night and he would post
George as to what the conversation
was about and who was at the
house. The next visit to the young
woman would be made by George.
If Jesse was not able to 60 when
his turn came George went, and 1t
is said that the young woman was
never able 10 tell the difference.
The young men shave at the same
time, have their hair cut in the
same way. and do everything they
can to avoid any possible differ
ence in their appearance being ap-
parent.

Liberty Park
Colts Win One
-. More Victory

One more victory was added, last
night, to the winning streak Of the
Liberty Park Colts. This team
snatched to score victory from
the North Side All-Star team, on
the grounds at Howard and Buck
eye, playing the game at 6 o'clock
and ending at the finish Of the
sixth inning on account of darkness,
Manhart was on the slab for the
North Siders and Address twirled
for the Colts, both doing some good
work. Address held the North Side
team down without score up till
the sixth inning. .-.....

TWINS PLAY IN ONE
TEAM; FOOL FANS
Look Alike Dress Alike Act Alike and Court Same Girl
Bat for Each Other-No One the Wiser.

Jesse r. and George M. Davis,
twins, "a years old. who were born
in Brooklyn, but have been resi-
dents of Sheffield, Pa, Southern
Berkshire Valley village, for II
years, are getting great fun out OF
life because nobody except their
parents and sisters can tell TEN
apart.
They look exactly alike, talk
alike. act alike, dress alike, and
If one has a headache the other
catches it. They are so particular
even their collar buttons are alike.
There is not two pounds difference
in their weight, their voices sound
alike, they use the same vocabulary
and they smile alike. In school,
providing one knew his lesson bet
ter than the other, they could
change seats during the recitations
after mingling with other pupils
around the teachers desk. and then
the one who had the better knowl-
edge of the study would get in
position where he could recite. So
far as marking the Davis brothers,
it was simply case of guesswOrk
on the part of the teachers as to
who was who.
Both play football and baseball,
but it is in the latter game that
they have been able to profit more
by their similarity in appearance.

In all but the sixth inning Of the

little. Those two scores for tho

Indians, for Erickson suddenly re.

The fifth and ninth innings, for
Vancouver, sealed the fate Of tho
Indians in their aspiration for first

Seattle won yesterdays game
from Tacoma in the ninth inning
by a score of to 5. At the begin
ming of the ninth the score was a
tie. Tacoma managed to score one
more run in the ninth and the fans
had started to leave the grandstand,
figuring that the game was lost to
the visitors, but pass and hits by
Bennett and Raymond, with one
down, developed two more scores
for Seattle.

reaches Johnson is tried ION the

for the medical expert to decide
he isn't going to kick off, the food
wends its way to the Johnson
table.
Just to protect himself when
benzining around the country,
Johnson packs Colt equalizer
with a bore slightly smaller than
that of revolutionary cannon and
he keeps it within reach of his left
hand all the time.

Seattle Opens
Arms to'Pugs'

SEATTLE, June 11.-Things look
bright for the pugilistic profession
and its devotees in Seattle today.
The town saw it's first real fight in
five years and more are scheduled.
Pete McVeigh had Eddie Merino
helpless and hanging to the ropes
at the end of an eight round bout at
the Grand theater and was given
the decision.
McVeigh cinched the fight in the
fifth. Marino led with a straight
right and McVeigh, going in like a
flash beat him to it with a short
right swing that travelled hardly a
foot, but caught the Italian on the
chin with the force Of hammer.
1t took all his strength to last out
the round and the bell found him
with one knee on the mat.

showed left to the stomach, swing
ing it up with practically the same
movement as a hook to the jaw. Try
as he would, Choynski could not
stop the double punch.
With general form, "eye" and
time" all that Jeffries needs is the
power of assimilating punishment.
If the can stand a wallop to the
midriff or a crack on the chin he is
as good as ever. His trainers say
he can stand the punishment, but
there is tendency on the part of
Missourians to disbelieve this.

Either Killilay or Holm will be

the witty captain will be out Of the
game no more than 10 or IL days.
Bottsburg, the new recruit to the
pitching staff, recently purchased
from San Francisco in the Coast
