New Labor Scheme

New York, June 13.- In
ternational made move heretofore
unknown when it was decided to
join with our employers in the is
suance of label to take the place
of our union label" said President
Rosenberg, of the International
Ladies Garment Workers. This
action was taken by special con
vention of the organization, held
in Yonkers, N. Y. The joint label
will be controlled by committees
representing the uniou and those
employers who are in agreement
with the organization. This plan
of adopting joint label is new
one, and its fleets will be watched
with considerable interest. 1t is
proposed now that both the ergan-
ization and the employers using
this label will conduct vigourous
campaigns for the purpose of calling
attention to the conditions under
which garments bearing the joint
label are made.

FOREIGN BORN WOMEN.
How They May Become NaturaIized,
Married or Single.

foreign born unmarried woman
may become citizen by being natur-
allied To do this she must be twenty
one years Of age and have lived five
years In this country. one full year
of which has been lived in the state
in which she makes her application.
Or she can marry man who is citi-
zen, for the wife's citizenship follows
the husband, and she continues to re-
tain her citizenship If she continues to
reside in the United States, unless she
renounces the sovereignty OF the Unit
ed States.
foreign born woman living In the
United States whose husband is for
eigner, who refuses to become natural
lied, cannot become a citizen unless
separated from him by divorce or
death.
native born woman who marries q
foreigner loses her citizenship during
the time OF the married relation, but
upon the death of her husband or di-
vorce from him she may resume her
citizenship by registering, within one
year with the American consul In the
country Of her residence a declaration
that she desires to do so, or she may
resume 1t by returning to the United
States to reside,-New York Post.

President Heberling recommended
to the convention that the organ
ization give support to the Federal
full crew bill, which was introduced
by Gen. Sherwood in the House of
Representatives at the first session
of the Sixty. second Congress.
President Heberling also asserted
in his report that he considered II
the duty of organized labor re
gardless of party aflliation, to be
represented in the various branches
of the government, as representa-
ton had been lacking in the pas
and suffering had been caused as q
C nsequence, on account OF laws
that had been passed inimicable tc

important decisions of the conven-
ton was to the effect that hereafter
no delegate to the conventions Of
the Switchmen' Union will be per
mitted to re a member of any Other
labor organization.

Sharaton,s Influence

Thomas Sheraton. although cabi-
netmaker by trade, 1t Is quite probable
during his life In London, did not
actually produce any furniture, as his
time was too much taken up by his
occupation as Baptist preacher, trac-
tartan. drawing master, designer and
publisher to bestow any attention on
the manufacture or superintendence
of cabinet work. His "Cabinetmaker
and Upholsterer's Drawing Book was
published first In 1791 and again IN
1893 and 1902 He was possessed of
keen critical insight In matters per
tanning to high class cabinetmaking,
combined with an excellent sense of
proportion. sound judgment and puri-
ty of taste. and his influence on the
style Of furniture in the latter part of
the eighteenth century was exercised
through his designs and criticisms,
which had no little weight with the
cabinetmakers of his day.-Suburban

does a dog.
Then, again, a dogs center of grav-

Exercise and Health.

There was bank clerk who saw the
men of his own age losing health year
by year through overwork, indoor Sc
dentary life and lack of daily exercise.
He saw them growing yellow and fab
by and unfit and the spectacle didn't
attract him. He decided that success
had better come late or even not at
all rather than at the price of a ruined
body. Health became to him the
choicest Of the mercies. the best of
life's comrades. Up and away the per

III health is chain that ties to the
dreariness of what is nearest at hand

the man was happy In finding that an
hour Of exercise a day changed the
aspect of the outer world and remov-
ed him for all time from the ranks OF
the unfit-Collier's.

THE MAN IN THE ORIENT.
Fte Walks Ahead of His Wife to Guard
Her From Danger.

ne walks Andao OF MS wire TO Suaro
Her From Danger.
/ When husband and wife go travelling
together In the orient the man walks
IN front, careless and free. and the
woman walks behind, carrying the
bundle. Therefore you say: THE
oriental cares not for his women. He
despises his wife and uses her as a
beast of burden Most occidentals
never get further than that But If
you are observant you go out In the
jungle yourself, and you discover
things. When you walk abroad there
are difficulties and dangers. The paths
are overgrown and thorny. creepers
must be driven off, and buffaloes are
ugly creatures.
In the villages are village dogs which
snarl and snap. You are a man, yet
you will be glad Of some one to go In
front of you with a Ratchet to clear
your way. No woman would walk In
front, and the man must be free. Now
you see the reason why the man walks
In front. If you want to confirm 1t
you inquire and find that this is true
Thus the Japanese, the Burman. goes
In front of bis wife for the same rea
son that the occidental goes behind
from courtesy. If he continues to do
so when it Is unnecessary. as in towns
where there are roads. 1t is because a
convention once formed is hard to
break, east or west.-H. Fielding Hall

Roanoke Street Car Strike.

Roanoke, Va, June 13.-The
street car strike is being vigourous-
ly conducted. Citizens of the city
are in eutire accord with the men
who are contesting with the trac-
tion company the rights to be con-
sidered as citizens and men. An
agitation is being started for a
municipality owned street car line
and power plant. An auto large
enough to carry sixty-one passen-
gers has been pressed into service
for the convenience of those who
refuse to ride upon the struck lines
of the traction company. The men
on strike are confident that they
will eventually win the contest.

A War Trick of the Great Hannibal.

When Hannibal, the great Cartha.
ginian, was fighting Eumenes of Per
gamos with fleet of very inferior
strength he hit upon an artifice which
would scarcely be sanctioned by the
laws of what we are pleased to call
civilized warfare. He discovered by
means of bogus message under flag
of truce on which ship the king was.
He then caused poisonous snakes to be
inclosed in earthen jars. These he dis
tributed among several ships and or
dered them TO close up on the kings
galley. In the melee that followed
the jars were flung unto the deck. The
curious bombs were greeted at first
with ridicule, which soon changed to
panic when the nature Of their contents
made itself manifest. The galley was
extricated from the fight as soon as
possible, and the captains of the others.

Humor In Strike

Ottumwa, Iowa, June l3.-The
painters and paperhangers in this
city are on strike and the employ
ers have been uncessfulin securing
any competent wo1kmen to fill the
places of the strikers. A vein of
numor enters into the situation in
some of the advertisements inserted
in the local papers for non union
workmen, the following being
"a sample: Wanted two live pa
perhangers; no bill posters need ap-
ply" Notwithstanding the strike
now on, the members of the Paint
ers' Union are all at work for fair
employers, the employers having
signed the scale being rushed with
work, while the non-union employ
ers are largely indulging in their
union busting operations.
