STONE MAsoNs REsUMINo
ACTIVITY

London, Dec. 27.-Probably no
trade has been sit in so adverse a
manner during the past few years as
that Of stonemasonry. Depression Of
trade, aided by machinery. substitutes
and wild competition amongst en-
ployers has tended to create a very
depressed tonein this trade. But in
spite of these facts, the Operative
Stonemasons' Society has surmounted
tremendous difficulties and now that
trade is improving, it is recovering
lost ground in the direction of men,
bership. Many members who were
compelled to leave owing to extensive
unemployment, are now returning to
the union. London has shown a good
record in this respect.

sMEENE:Y M COUNCIL,

It Is with much regret that James
Sweeney is compelled to announce
that, at the demand Of his party, he
accepts the seat In council, instead Of
member Of Board OF Education.
This subject was thoroughly thrash
ed out by those who are working for
the best interests of the city and the
decision arrived at only after careful
consideration.
Mr.. Sweeney accepts the decision Of
the party with much reluctance, as
the large vote rendered him for mem
Der Of the board Of education Is silent

board Is very much desired. Thank
Ing the people for their 0nnfi dence ii

DYNAMITE on EDUCATION?

The Mcnamara brothers, who were
on trial In Los Angeles for dynamit-

which resulted In the death Of 81 per-
sons. recently confessed to the crime.
Stripped Of the fact that the confess
sion was flung broadcast, for political
purposes, Just few days before the
election in that city--it stands as d
cold, hard subject for reflection by
every Socialist In the country. The

The Martins Ferry Socialists have
issued ) paper called Progress" in
which they make the following state
ment Of their interests:
Several letters of inquiry have been
received by members of the party
who have been interviewed by q rep
resentatiye Of newspaper published
in an Ohio city rgarding the cause for
the victory won by the Socialists Of
this city at the November election.
This newspaper In nOWise presented
the sentiments expressed by the
parties interviewed, but IN their effort
to mislead the public, published quota
lions that were never made, and left
the impression that the result of the
election was caused by the strenuous
fight conducted by the United States
Steel corporation against organized
labor, and that in the future this
Gigantic" aggregation of wealth was
going to concentrate its efforts against
the Socialist party.
AS to the truth of the latter part
Of the preceding sentence, we are not
prepared to say and cannot give an
intelligent reply, nor do we care; for
It Is an evident fact that the more
bitter the fight is waged against the
tenets Of Socialism, the more rapid do
they become understood and espoused.
While the fight made against or
ganized labor was no small factor in
educating the workers in this city,
there is no doubt that it was only a
foundation upon which was built the
magnificent Socialist structure, I'M
yelled on Nov. z, by the uhtiring en-
deavor Of the loyal believers in the
humanitarian doctrines of Socialism.
The incoming administration will
not in any manner, be antagonistic
to any legitimate industry that is now
or may hereafter be doing business in
this city. 1t is well aware of the fact
that so long as the present system OF
private endeaFor continues, the pros.
perity of communities depends largely
almost entirely upon industrial
Establishments where labor may be
STEADILY employed. The need ri
more and varied industries is kaenly
| felt, and it is the intention of the So
cialist party to aid in every way pos
sible to secure new enterprises and
assist those already located in our
midst. Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the Importance of securing
concerns employing from 10 to 100
persons. Such establishments mean

whereas, it is the imperative duty
