THE PRAYER BOOK AT MASS.

Of the best methods OF assisting at
Mass with attention is to follow
the celebrant in the offering Of the
Holy Sacrifice. Such course
would seem to be enjoined by the
words which the celebrant uses
when he turns to the people after
the Offertory and says: 'tPray,
brethren, that my sacrifice and
yours may be acceptable in the
sight Of God the Father Al
mighty" Those who are present
at Mass are, as it were, co-offerers
with the priest who stands at the
altar. Hence the necessity of
great devotion and attention on
their part in order that they may
reap the bountiful graces which
flow from their cooperation in
such an august ceremony.
There is no better method of
following the Mass attentively
than by the use Of a prayer book.
The prayer book is an external aid
to devotion which helps to fix an
otherwise wandering mind Men
tai inertia makes it difficult to
keep the attention on any subject
for a considerable length Of time
unless one is much interested in
it. Too often those who assist at
Mass are not so Interested; and
even for the most recollected and
attentive the prayer book should
be an inseparable companion.
The prayer book contains, in addi-
ton to other devotional exercises,
prayers to be said at the differ
ent parts of the Mass. These can
be recited with profit. In what is
known as the "Ordinary Of the
Mass" the psalms and prayers
common to all Masses are found
1t contains the prayers said by the
celebrant with the exception OF
the orations and the epistle and
gospel specially adapted to com
memorate the saint whose feast
is being celebrated. These are
given in Latin and side by side
with them is a translation into
English, French, German, ETC., fol-
the benefit Of those who are not
familiar with the Latin. No more
salutary prayers than these can be
recited during Mass. They are
the official prayers which the
Church puts into the mouth of he1
minister-the prayers which hel
century-old wisdom deems most
appropriate for the celebration Of
the Holy Sacrifice. By reason Of
their conservation to this purpose
they are more efficacious than any
others and better adapted to the
: requirements of the faithful thar
! any prayers of their own can be
i. For these reasons and many
; others which will suggest them
selves the prayer book should bt
) used by the faithful at Mass
Every child should be provided
with one as soon as he is able tx
read it with profit and should b.
: taught how to follow the differen-
parts Of the Mass. In this way {
love for the Holy Sacrifice will b.
inculcated, as well as love fol
: the prayer book. The use Of
prayer book in church implies it,
use in the home. Recourse vii
l be had to it in times of sorrow anC
r trouble and danger. When one il
prevented from attending Mas
the mute appeal Of the prayer
! book will lead him to make up fol
: this loss by having recourse to it
prayers and devotional exercises
: Parents should teach their chill
/ dren to appreciate the prayer
r book and to use it at Mass by Civ
E ing them an example in this, re
E gard.

Bro. w. A. RawsonS president Of the
Trades and Labor Assembly of Min
neapolis, is in the city for the pur-
pose of perfecting sthe work of or
ganization and he reports that he is
meeting with splendid success;
There is no reason why he
shouldn't. Cooks and walters In
other cities, no lager and no more
progressive than Duluth, are able to
maintain good and prosperous local
unions, and the wbnder is that the
organization of a5union in Duluth
has been so long delayed: s- =.
The men and women Of Duluti,
engaged in the lines of service re-
ferred to, have in practice for years
conformed to the principles Of the
trades union movement, and no
doubt can be entertained that they
are we'll equipped TO maintain anil
support a local that will be a credit
to the cause of, unionisn at the Heal
of the Lakes. ID &.
The friendly attitude towards
unionism Of many5employers in the
industries mentioned will be specially
helpful and encouraging to the mem
bership Of the new local, and the
Labor World bespeak for it an era
of unqualified success from the start.

TONNAGE TAX BILL
IS AGAIN REVIVED
Is Practically Duplicate of the
Measure Which Late Cover
nor johnson Vetoed.

ST. PAUL. Feb. 18.-The tonnage
tax bill appeared In the house few
days ago with Thomas Frankson Of
Spring Valley. J. n. Johnson of Candy
and j. J. Moriarity of Belle Plaine as
It's authors. The bill Is practically
the same bill which was introduced
Two years ago by Representative
Rjorge Of Lake Park, which was
passed by the legislature AMI vetoed
oy Governor Johnson.
Its appearance at this time Is looked
upon as having bearing on the fight
against reapportionment and it is said
tnat 1t Will be used to defeat the re-
apportionment bill II possible.
The bill classifIes iron mines so
that the tonnage tax shall apply to
mines producing more than 10000
tons a year, while non-producing
mines shall be taxed as at present. on
= the advalorem basis.
- Practically the only change from
two years ago is that the revenues,
instead of all going into the general
revenue fund, are to be shared with
the school and university fund. The
bill l(was referred to the committee on
taxes and tax laws.

Secure Passage by Congress Of
the Locomotive Boiler
Inspection Measure.
OPPOSITION OF RAILROADS

Boilers Are Now Being Every
where Repaired to Meet
Coming Of Inspectors.
Especial to The Labor. World.)

Especial to The Labor World.)
: WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. L.
The adoption by the house, of the Lo-
com olive Boiler Inspection bill pre-
viously passed by the senate, Is con.
sidered a remarkable victory by men,
bers of the labor lobby who have wit
messed in the past the bitter opposi-
tion to this mea sure displayed by the
railroad corporations.
Chairman Mann, of the Interstate
and Foreign Commerce committee, re-
ported to the house that there had
the representatives of the Railroad
Brotherhoods, Boilermakers and at
torneys for the railroad corporations,
as to the framing Of this bill, and as
the measure stood, was acceptable to
them all.
This sudden complacency on the
part Of the railroad corporations to a
measure that they had through sew
eral sessions of congress smothered
with objections and abuse, can only
be attributed to one thing, namely,
the companies deadly fear Of the
working greement which has lately
been entered into between the Rail-
road Brotherhoods and the Boiler
makers International union. It was
this practical amalgamation among
the railroad workers that forced the
agreement on the locomotive boiler
inspection bill; the most important
provisions of which are as follows:
A chief inspector and 2 assistant
chief inspectors are to be appointed
by the president, and; in addition, the
Interstate Commerce commission are
to appoint so inspectors who shall
have passed civil service examina-
tion qualifying them as experts in
boiler, inspection. These inspectors
shah have. the power to declare aa}lo-
comotive hoiler unfit for service. 80 .
:. But the great good that will eo1ae
from this new law is that an engineer
can make complaint as to the dang
erous condition Of his locomotive boil
er direct to an inspector and obtain
immediate protection for his life that
under the old company system had to
be risked or, the employe would lose
his job.
Even now, before the final enact
ment of the law, it is reported by To-
connective engineers that boilers are
being everywhere repaired to meet the
coming of the INSPECTORS.

BREWERY WORKERS
LOCAL NUMBER 1873
Meets the Fourth Saturday Evening
OF Each Month at Sloan's
Hall.
Working Men Who Stick Together
and Achieve Results in Field
of Industry.

The members of No. 1873 realize
that the constant association of work.
ers in unions brOadens their minds,
develops their intellectual power, and
makes them more efficient in their
society.
Recently the United Brewery
Workmen of America have been TAX
ing a referendum vote on plan Of
insurance that involves an entirely
new phase of comparatively work-at
least in the United States-between
the employer and the employed. As
proposed at the recent Chicago con-
vention the plan is this:
The brewery and malt house own
ers are to pay SIS per year for each
member of the union employed into
fund to which each union man will
add Sc more. This fund is to be con-
trolled by commission of seven
members, three to be chosen by the
employers and three by the union,
who together select the seventh men,
Der. The commission will have the
power to extend the benefits of the
working in the breweries.
Workmen injured in the course of
their employment shall be paid 65 per
cent of the amount of their wages,
but shall not receive pay unless the
disability continues for more than ten
days and shall not receive compen-
sation for more than 50 weeks for any
one injury.
In case of an injury causing pro-
tracted incapacity for work the board
of managers shall have power to
make all allowance by way of single
and final payment not to exceed one
half of the amount payable in case
of accidental death. In case of death
through accidental injury an amount
equal to four years wages shall be
paid to the dependents Of the de-
ceased.
Brewery owners have. it is said.
signified their willingness to enter
into this agreement, as they are now
paying the same amount proposed
as their share o1 the insurance to
private companies which assume all
accident and death risks. The new
scheme would save all middlemens :
and legal fees and at the same time
guarantee that all moneys collected
for this purpose would go directly
to the injured workman or his fam
lily.
II is believed that the fund thus
established would he large enough to
also provide for a liberal old sage

ELECTRICAL WORKERS
. g.. LOCAL NUMBER 81
Meets at Kalamazoo Hall First
and Third Thursday Of
Each Month.

. It is said that there exists a re-
ciprocal relation between man and the
tools he uses. The nature OF the busi-
ness lin which the members. Of this
union are engaged, demands the use
of tools, that are perfectly adapted
to, the purpose and design OF. their
manufacture, and we think. without
doubt, this fact operates as an OBJ
ject lesson in the development of the
individual. Furthermore, the work of
an electrician is such as to demand
lat all times the: exercise of the most
painstaking care. The individual is
constantly reminded of responsibility
by the nature Of the work itself, con-
sequently we find in men who have
given a series Of years to his line Of
work, deliberative and thoughtful
habit of mind that does not obtain
in lines of endeavor that do not call
Tin exercise the habits of attention
and tkoughtfulness indicated.
The members of local No. 81 pus-
sue the even tenor of their way, show
ing their intelligence and loyalty tc
the trades union movement in re-
sourceful attention to their every day
duties, and in wisely shaping policies
that will ensure to the benefit of the
craft and incidentally promote the
welfare of society in general.
