fund of s67, 1858 was shown to have
been expended for the defense of To-
Cal trade and federal labor unions.
The report further stated that dur
ing the past year there had been 716
strikes among the various unions be-
longing to the Federation. These
strikes involved 1909 people and i'm
posed a monetary burden upon the
members of the Federation of $2.143.-
153.
With reference TO these strikes the
report read: when members of or
ganized labor are fighting for a prin-
ciple or for justice, they do not count
the cost-they do not consider the
cost: they wage the fight as long as
they have a cent to put into 1t, and as
much longer, at great sacrifice and
hardship. as may be necessary, and
they regard the issue at stake as well
worth the struggle.
The strike is never pictured as a
boon by trade unions" continued the
report. 1T is not boon, except in the
sense that the right to strike is the
difference between free labor and
slave labor When we point to what
the strike has done in the march OF
progress of labor, we do not hold it
up as boon: when we cite that in the
history of labor the strike has been
the most formidable and powerful
weapon in achieving it's successes, we
are not holding it up as something to
be desired. but merely stating a fact.
Strikes are hardships: at times
they are very great hardships, but la
Dor has had to endure them to secure
recognition and improved conditions
Even though strikes fail to bring
about all the desired reforms this
year, or next year, or the year after,
this would not convince wage work
ers that the strike is without force
and should be abandoned as a means
Of protest Organized labor will, am
sure, reserve for itself the privilege
of exercising its own discretion as to
the wisdom of a strike when employ
ers OF labor refuse to consider any
other argument upon the justice of
their demands"

TALKS. :
KILKENNY CATS.
~ EDWIN A. NYE,

KILKENNY CATS.
Doubtless you have read Dean
Ewift's gentle satire as to the Kill
kenny cats?
According to the veracious chronicler
two pugnacious felines met In fateful
conflict and, urged on by malevolence
and fury, continued the fight until they
ate each other up, leavlng-if one may
add pun to humor-nothing to tell the
tale save their two tails.
J.. Historically the story is true.
Scientifically there may be some rea-
son for doubling the details. One may
wonder how, when they had eaten each
others teeth. they continued to chew,
or. having eaten each others stom-
ach. how
b Nevcrt heitss-
Cua easily finds n parallel to the his
to-ic engagement Of the cats in the
story Of II famous law suit begun some
years ago by two Missouri farmers.
The difficulty began over the pay
ment Of part of the cost of a division
fence. only few dollars being in
volved. That was twelve years ago.
Today the farmers are still fighting
each other In the courts. As the law
yers have prospered the farmers have
waned. One has lost his farm and the
other is heavily involved by mort
cages.
Two politicians disagree. The fight
wakes. Today one speaks from the
stump and tomorrow the other answers
through an interview. They call each
other names. Each Is injured by the
other, because there are some who be-
lieve what each of them says.
Kilkenny cnts.
Two merchants. competitors, become
persni,al rivals. then enemies. They
iniure each other by every possible
method. cutting each others throats
commercially. The war even gets into
their advertising.
Kilkenny cats again!
Two ncighbor won en- fall out about
the children. or the chickens. or what
not. They wage mimic warfare. They
call each other names. Husbands are
involved. The neighborhood and the
police courts know about the row.
The cats are at it!
Or two society women disagree over
some matter of petty precedence. They
set out to kill each other socially.
They resort to SANDER. Each Injuries
the other because there are some who
believe the whispered words Of malice
and regulations are furnished or
ruined.
Eating each other up!
There are fighting arenas other than
Kilkenny.

the work at Grafton, formerly carried
on by Mr.. Merrill. MI. Jackson is a
graduate Of the Oregon a. C. and has
been conducting federal tests in that
state for some time.
Mr.. Riser has had some interest

where, lighting the fake creamery
promoters and trying to get the busi-

creamery trust is in operation in some
western states, which eliminates com

market.
All the federal work in this state
is in cooperation with the state de-
partment under Dairy Commissioner
Flint and the missionary work being
carried on by the government in the
eastern part Of the state is beginning
to show excellent results. Many new
people are being interested in dairying,

THE COMSTOCK OPENING
A MOST BRILLIANT AFFAIR
One Of the Most Elaborate Social Functions Ever Attempted
In the Two Ciies-Spendid Musical Programme
An Elaborate Menu.

Moorhead's new hotel, The Com
stock, was formally opened last night.
under auspices which must have been
most gratifying to all concerned. not
the least to the hotel committee OF
the commercial club. The function
was the closing scene OF the activities
of the committee, so ably presided
over by Hon. S. G. Comstock.
The affair was the most brilliant
witnessed in Moorhead for some time.
Some of the old timers present were
heard to say that nothing approaching
it has been seen in the two cities since
the opening of the Grand Pacific two
decades ago. Little had to be done in
the way Of decorations for the beauty
Of the interior of the new building
vas enough in itself to add grandeur
to the scene which was ~emblazoned by
nearly 200 beautifully gowned ladies
of the two cities.
The guests began to arrive about
