He established number Of 70.

Of the city. The scheme worked

It provoked great hostility. Tho
porters complained that It inter.

STAGE EMPLOYEES TALK.

Ed Brown of Chicago, local No. 2. who
is sojourning in our city at the present
time and temporarily working at the
Broadway theater tells this story:
Say, fellows, l was coming up Eight
eenth street the other day and there
was two kids in front of me. They were
walking along, talking to each other
They finally reached California street
One kid said: Gee, Jimmy, there's
new building going up. l wonder what
it's going to be?' Jimmy looked at it
and solemnly said: 1t may be the Shu-
bert theater.'"
Ellis Graham got busy right away and
said: 81 can beat that" and started in
with this:
There is an old lady lives over on
the West Side that l know and there are
a lot of kids in the neighborhood who
generally make themselves obnoxious
and otherwise. When they see cop
coming they holler jigger' and run. The
old lady said: 4 have seen those kids
for years and know every one of them
by name except one, and that is the boy
Jigger. He must be very popular for
the minute his name is mentioned every
body runs after him."
These are kid stories and there is no
kidding about them, either.

PERRY GOES TO COAST.

B. F. Perry. the well-known road bust
ness agent for the Machinists in this
district, and who has been confined to
his home for weeks on account of a
complete nervous breakdown, will leav.,
this week for San Luis Obispo, Cal,
where he will go on the advice of his
physician. Mr.. Perry has met with a
series of mishaps that have greatly re-
tarded him in his work. for the organ
ization. He was first attacked by typhoid
fever, and then his wife also became af-
fiicted. When he was recovering from
the disease, he fell on the ice and broke
an arm. The arm was beginning to
mend nicely when the nervous break
down came, Mr.. Perry is now in such
condition that he finds it absolutely nee
essary to take a complete rest. Mr.. Perry
is the originator of the Anti-Injunction
League. and is one of the best-known
men in the labor movement. His mis-
fortune is greatly to be regretted.

HELPERS FORM INTERNATIONAL.

The convention of machinists helpers
which met in convention in the Mark
ham hotel last week has adjourned after
forming an international organization to
be known as the International Associa
ton of Roundhouse and Machine Shop
Employees. Delegate Donnelly of Salt
Lake City was elected president of the
new organization. 1t will not be char
tered by the A. F. of l., but it is be-
lieved it will look for affiliation with the
|. w. w. There were only thirteen dele
gates at the convention, and eight of
these voted to form the international
organization while the other five voted
against taking that action. The organ
ization will not be recognized by the
Machinists' organization, and the officers
of the Machinists believe the new organ
ization is nothing more than a dual or
ganization to the International Associa-
tion of Machinists. Mr.. Donnelly, the
newly-elected president of the organiza-
ton, was one of the delegates to the
convention of Federated Shop Employees
recently held in the Club building. He is
a friend of William d. Haywood of the
|. W. w. The organization is one of the
many trump" organizations that are
springing up over the country and
should not be given serious considera-
tion, although it may cause the Machin
lists some concern.

EASY GAME NOW RUNNING.

There is an easy game now running
at the Trade Unions Benefit association.
This should prove a boon to the short
money" guy and the dollar-stack fellow
who just wants to sit in a minute" to
try his luck. There will always be a
game at this club in the future for there
are plenty of players hanging out there
now. They are easy, these new players
for they plainly show their streaks of
yellow, and are blind as bats-but they
will get their eyes opened soon. There
are four of them-the finest kittens you
ever seen. They repose under Secretary
Foley's desk, and are being fed the best
of milk and cream by the club manager.
But the funniest thing of all is one is
entirely yellow, while the others plainly
show the yellow streak. Notwithstand-
ing the yellow streak they will shortly
put up the prettiest game seen at the
club for months.
The kittens and mother cat are doing
fine. 1t is not known where the father
is, but it is believed he is travelling"

turns in carting in bedding, sand and
other things to make the feline family
happy. The boys who have found other

well pleased with the newly-organized

players certainly do show the yellow"

FEATURAL SURGERY.

DR.. w. III. Bailey, one of the most skill
ful feature surgeons of the West, has
again removed to still larger and more
commodious quarters at No. 145O fremont
street, this city, where he now occupies
the entire premises for the treatment of
his patients in featural surgery.
Dr. Bailey, for years past, has devoted
himself to the study and treatment OF
malformations and deformities of the
features, whether occasioned by natural
causes or accident, and has introduced in
the science OF surgery an absolutely pain
less as well as harmless method OF re-
moving all traces of unnatural or un.
slightly deformities, whether the patient
be mere child or full grown person.
There is nothing secret about DR..
Bailey's work, any person who is inter.
ested in the subject is always welcomed
to witness his operations, which are con-
stantly being performed at his offices at
the above address. The treatment is
purely surgical. In many cases no band
ages are used, and all traces of the oper.
alton are SO skillfully covered that 1t is
diffcult to discover traces of them a few
minutes after they are completed.
or the hundreds of cases treated men,
ton of but an instance or two may be
interesting. A young musician, a resi-.
dent OF Denver, sought DR.. Bailey's pro.
1esslonal assistance. One side of the
young mans face was greatly deformed
and sunken. AS result of the doctors
treatment, the entire half of the face
was built up until it became necessary to
treat the other side slightly to make 1t
as perfect as the side that was originally
deformed. Another remarkable case is
that of well-known tailor whose nose
was deformed beyond recognition. The
deformity was removed and the nose cor
rected in single sitting. Both these
men are residents of Denver and easily
accessible.
The Literary Digest" of Feb. 18th.

on the subject of featura1 surgery, and

and surgeons contained in "The Lancet"

Tomorrow evening the Building
Trades Council will ballot for business
agent to succeed Frank A. Bryan. A
business agent is elected every three
months by the council, and Friday night
is the regular election Bryan, who is a
delegate from the Plumbers union, will
be a candidate to succeed himself. He
will be opposed by Delegate Hayden, it
is said, of Brotherhood Carpenters No.
55 the largest local in the council, with
ten delegates. The race will be close,
although it is conceded by many that
Bryan will be elected on account of the
record he has made during the past
three months in securing many good
jobs for the council. Although the time
was short to thoroughly demonstrate his
ability to make good, his activity and
good work is the talk of the building
trades. Mr.. Hayden is thoroughly COM
petent to handle the affairs of the coun-
Gil and would make a capable business
agent if elected.

All Members Are Employed and More
Are Wanted-FinanciaI Statement.
(By ]. w. Sanford.)

At our meeting Tuesday night there
was much discussion on matters pertain
ing to our trade here in the city. All of
our members are at work now for the
first time in many months, which we be-
lieye is due directly to the home indus
try agitation that has been going on
for some time and which we believe
will be permanent for the reason that
the public has come to know that the
homemade cigars are equal to and even
superior to the best that come from out
side, climatic conditions favoring the
cigars that are made here in preference
to the ones that are shipped in.
We adjusted the price on couple OF
high-priced cigars which will enable the
manufacturers to make these cigars in
the future at a more satisfactory margin
to them than heretofore, all of the other
prices being satisfactory to them and
which enables them to compete with the
Eastern goods.
proposition of signing five-year
contract with the manufacturers came
up but as it has not been the custom in
our trade to go into the long agree
ments, our members not being familiar
with its workings, decided to defer ac-
ton for the present The outlook in our
trade is good and we anticipate a pros
porous year.

might be well to quote the following.
which applies particularly to the wage
Garner and his or her earning power:
There can be no doubt that physical
malformations which interfere in no way
with the well-being of their possessor
may yet cause an immense amount of
mental torture to those who have them
an amount of mental pain which can
hardly be imagined by those who are
formed normally. A slight harelip, a
nose with a sunlSen bridge, nose with
a dubious end, the presence of large
mole on the face, even an overgrowth of
hair on the face of a woman. may, harm
less though they may be in themselves
be sufficient to make the lives of their
owners intensely miserable. 1t is easy
to smile at this morbid sensitiveness but
1t is important to recognize how vital a
matter it is to those who are so afflicted
Even from pecuniary point of view
these deformities are not without i'm
portance In several occupations young
woman will find a deformity of the face
a very definite bar to employment, and
she may be compelled to accept lower
rate of wages in consequence. The alb
sence of nose may not in the least
interfere with the working powers of a
man. but he will undoubtedly find that
it will initiate against his power of get
tiHS WoIh. his ulmlnutlOn III the earn
ing capacity of those who have facial
deformities is very real, and the knowl-
edge of it, and the concomitant recogni-
tion of the fact that many people have
an involuntary shrinking from those who
are deformed, must act prejudicially on
the mind of the victim
The truth of the foregoing is sadly
demonstrated fact to everyone bearing
the Affections above described, regard
less of sex or occupation, and equally so
to those not so afflicted yet who through
force of circumstances are compelled to
come in contact with them The remedy
is at hand, and relief can be obtained
at the hands of one skilled and expert
enced in removing the barriers leading
to contentment and happiness.
DR.. Bailey is a genial young practi-
toner with whom it is a pleasure to
converse He is enthusiastic in his spe-
cial branch of his profession, and is al
ways glad to extend the hand of cour-
tesy to his callers who may seek his
advise.

STRIKE
THREATENED.

London-The doctors who, before the
insurance act was passed, were content
to accept club patients at Is Cd per head,
have now presented an ultimatum to the
insurance commissioners They demand
a minimum fee of IS Cd, together with
the power of hearing and determining
all complaints against themselves, and
unless these demands are granted they
threaten to go on strike. What would
the public say to the workmen should
they go on strike for such conditions?
The doctors, however, can be cut out of
the act altogether, and the money thus
saved devoted to increasing sick pay or
