comparatively weak and non-ef-
fective. But at the end of this
period they had settled down to
the realities. They had been dis
illusioned as to the matter of So
oial revolution. They began a
campaign of education among the
rank and file of their membership
Strikes were less frequent and
the more sensational prosecution
of the leaders of labor was al
most abandoned. The leaders.
themselves. were better educated
in the principles of trades union
ism. \ propagandist movement
was inaugurated and there were
many paid organizes, especially
among the miners in Great Brit
tain and Ireland. The leading
feature of the trades union move
ment during this period was
strong resistance to legal oppres-
sion. The earlier trades unions
consisted of completely separated
or loosely combined local clubs
each exercising large measure of
individual freedom and control
ling its own funds and acting on
its own initiative and in its own
behalf. The Ana1gamated So
eiety of Engineers, one of the
strongest unions in Great Britain.
made an advance beyond this
primitive form of organization. It
was not only built upon national
lines, but authority was vested in
the central governing body which
alone had the power to car
strikes. Its financial system was
also thoroughly worked out
through series of benefit funds
providing for protection against
old age. death. sickness and acci-
dents. 1t was not long before the
other great trades unions were or
sanized upon the same basis un-
til today there exists in the trades
unions in England. a powerful
social and benevolent spirit.
A historic incident in the de-
\ lvelopment of trades unionism Is
what is known as the Taff-Vale
decision In August, 1900, the
Amalgamated Society of Rail
way Servants engaged in a strike
against the Taff-Vale Railway Co.
This strike did not differ from
many other strikes. but the gen
eral manager of the Taff-Va1e
company determined to fight it
out in the courts. The trades
union was charged with persuad-
ing and intimidating workmen to
break their contracts with the
railway and aiding ard abetting
acts of violence which together
injured the railway company. The
amount of damages asked were
S11.550. The corporation won its
suit but the Court of Appeal

LADIES NIGHT.
Men S Club to Hold Ladies' Night
Tuesday Evening, December IL.

The Men IS club of st. Matthew's
parish will hold their annual ladies
night at Guild hall on Tuesday even
ing next, Dec. 18th. A most cordial
invitation is extended to all the mem
bers of the club and their wives aud to
all the members of st. Matthew 8
parish. A very fine entertainment has
been provided in the shape of lect-
ure on Southern Spain and Morocco
by Chief Justice Harry Olsen of the
municipal court, Chicago. Judge Olsen
spent considerable time over there and
his lecture is illustrated by one hundred
twenty-five beautifully colored slides,
which are said to be the finest collec-
ton of views ever shown of that part
of the world. AS the judge is charm
ing talker a most entertaining and in
teresting evening is being looked for
ward to. The executive committee
went to lot of trouble in securing
Judge Olsen for this occasion and it is
to be hoped that a large crowd will
turn out to meet him. Refreshments
will be served at the close of the
lecture.

In the case of the friends Of the
three leading candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency
the wish must be father to the thought
in the statements given out by them
that Hearst would not cut much figure
in primary in this state if he decides
to enter the campaign and fight for the
delegation from Wisconsin for they all
know he would be most formidable
competitor il he goes out for delegates
in any primary. None know better
than the men who are trying to build
up state wide organization for any
candidate that primary is a rich
man s game and the New York editor
has shown his willingness before this
to spend his money where he thinks
it may do him some good on several
occasions. Right now he is the only
candidate who could finance a state or
ganization in his own interests.

Some time ago the contention was
set up in the courts of this county that
the law relating to the sale of liquors
to minors did not cover the sale of
liquor by drug stores and the people
who are opposed to these sales are
overlooking an opportunity if they do
not secure some decision which will set
tie the question whether or not this
point is well taken. If it is found
that the law as it now stands does not
cover any sale Of liquor TO minors by
any person or individual whatever it
is an unjust law and measures should
be taken at the next session of the
legislature to so amend and amplify
the law that it will cover every case
that can possibly arise anywhere in
the state, There would be no difficulty
in putting any amendment to the law
with this end in view through the
legislature either for such an, amend
ment would undoubtedly receive the
support of what is known as the sa-
loon element in the legislature To a
greater or less extent the saloons have
suffered for the sins of others in con
nection with the sale of liquor to
minors as has been shown more than
once right here at home and the liquor
dealers would undoubtedly welcome
changes in any law which would put
all on an equal footing. There is no
justice or reason in a law which " Ill
punish saloon man FOR acts which
can be committed without fear Of pros
ecution by the drug store man next
door and that is exactly the situation
if it is held that the present law on
selling to minors does not cover the
drug stores.

Council Adopts Report of
Finance Committee With
out Division Monday.
FUNDS THOUGHT SUFFICIENT
Several Changes are Made in Amounts
Appropriated in Former Year But
Committee Believes That Levy Will
Meet All Needs of the City.

The taxes Of the city for 1912 were
formally levied by the city council at
the regular meeting of the council on
Monday evening the report of the
finance committee recommending a
thirteen mill tax being accepted with
out division on the part of the eoun-
Gil The report of the committee on
the amount of money appropriated to
the various funds shows only a few
changes and where funds were reduc"
ed this action was taken after the
committee had made close investiga-
ton and had found that such reduc-
lions could be made without impair
ing the departments. The contingent
fund shows d small increase over last
year, the fire department fund is ex-
actly the same, the police fund is re-
duced $4,000, the street, alleys and
bridges raised $4,000, the fund for
paupers reduced by $4,000, public
grounds raised $4,000, gas and light
increased $1,000, sewer and paving
increased by $4,000 and the harbor
and breakwater fund was cut to a
minimum. Tt is not thought that there
will be any immediate demand fol
money for this fund and if appropria
tions are necessary during the year
they may be made from the contin
gent or some other fund Of the city.
The thirteen mill levy was seemingly
satisfactory to the council and it was
adopted by unanimous vote.
The report of the committee show
ing the exact amounts appropriated to
the different funds follows:

Unless a start is made on the Christ

shopper who hates crowd can get is
the worst Of it, and the grand rush at
the finish will break all previous rec
ords. The merchants generally say that
practically none Of the Christmas buy
ing is ever done before Thanksgiving
and the fact that the Thanksgiving
holiday was week later than usual
this year gives only three weeks for
the Christmas shopping, instead Of
four.

SUES RAILROAD

Through his attorneys, Taylor and Jones, King Hilton, a negro formerly employed by the Cook-Oak Company at Blissville, Ark, filed suit in the circuit court here yesterday asking for $10,0O0 from the Iron Mountain railroad. In his petition Hilton states that on the night of January 13, 1911 he was crossing the tracks of the railroad company at Blissville, on his way to his employers office, where he was to transact business. It is claimed that he was run down by a train, the engine of which had a "dead headlight" and that his left leg was so badly crushed that ampu- tation was necessary. No alarm of the approach of the train was given, says the plaintiff.

Says He Will Speak at Elks Theater Tonight if He is
 Permitted to Do So.
HE MAKES CHARGES
Declares That County Officials Call ed Mass Meeting and Would
 Dictate Salaries.

President H. K. Toney, who Is mak- ing determined fight to pass the Jefferson county salary bill, came down from Little Rock Friday morn ing and is making preparations to battle with opponents" in Joint de- bate at the mass meeting which Is announced for Saturday night at 6 o'clock at the Elks Theater, for the purpose of securing an expression of the taxpayers of this county on the measure.
 The meeting was called by Repre- sentatives w. B. Pinney and c. D. McAllister, representative in the low. CT house from this county, who are against the bill. Judge E. J. Ker- win, the other representative from Jefferson county, is lined up with Senator Toney and with the "even break" in the General Assembly anjong Jefferson's legislators the fight has become most interesting It is expected that the theater will be packed when he matter is being dis cussed.
 Representative Pinney and McAl- lister extended an invitation to Sena- tor Teney and Judge Kerwin to be present, but Senator Toney stated up- on his arrival here that while his presence has been asked, he has not been offered division of time. He declared that he will speak in de- fense of his measure at any time and any place and will be glad to be heard at the mass meeting Saturday night. As there will be many SUD- porters of the measure, as we'll as . goodly number of those who oppose 1t, the indications are that Senator Toney and Judge Kerwin will both be called upon to present their argument for the bill. NA
 "The court house officials have called the mass meeting" said Son. ator Toney in discussing the gath- ering, although others would have the public believe that 1t is th4lr meeting. I want all of the friends of the bill to be on hand, as we'll as oth- CTS. / It is just question as to whether the court house officials will dictate the salary system or whether the taxpayers rule.'

 New York, Feb. 17.-Charles M Schwab returned today from his mid- winter vacation in Europe. Every sign points to an unusually prosper ous year, not only in the United States, but throughout the world said MT. Schwab tonight
 ''The depression that to a greater or less extent extended around the world following our big panic of 1907, appears to have been replaced by ,a vigor of confidence and activi- ty that augurs well. Business in all lines is booming and is nothing more than steel and iron.''
 MT. Schwab declares that the Can- adian Reciprocity Treaty was one of the best signs Of times. "I like that" he said ''The boundary line between the two countries is only im- aginary anyhow and they ought to be on the very best of terms, conn., mercially and socially
