Longshoremen Get In.

San Pedro, Cal, Oct. 10. A
large and enthusiastic organization
of Longshoremen has been organ
lied at San Pedro. 1t is asserted
that a foundation has now been
made for one of the largest Long.
shoremen' local unions in the
country. The opening OF the Pan
anna Canal, it is generally agreed,
will bring such an immense amount
of shipping to this section of the
country that the workers, of nee
essity, must protect themselves by
organization. The Independent
Longshoremen's L Union that has
been in existence here, will ANAL
gamate with the new local union,
which affiliated with the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's union. The
Longshoremen are now carrying
on campaign on the coast with
the end in view of increasing the
present membership and the organ
ization of the new local unions
wherever possible.

Colorado Miners Strike.

Denver, Oct. 10. More than
10, 600 coal miners in this State are
now on strike. While he mine
operators confidently expected a
majority of their employees to re-
main at work, at least 80 per cent
of all the coal miners in the State

the miners union. Tents and pro-
visions are being supplied for the
strikers, and officials of the United
Mine Workers are in charge. 1t is
stated that 5000 men formerely
employed in the mines have al
ready left the state for the purpose
of procuring work in the East.
Nineteen independent coal com.
panies in the State have signed ur

Homes For Workers.

Boston Mass. Oct. 10.-The re-
cent convention of the Massachu-
sets State Federation of Labor in
dorsed the work of the Massachu-
setts Homestead Commission
This commission is endeavoring to
solve the problem of providing
healthful homes at reasonable
cost for worke S. The resolution
passed indorsing this work points
out that the cost of rent and food
is constantly rising, and that there
are thousands of acres of unused
land IN every city that is adapta-
bic to the building of comfortable
homes. The Legislature is urged
TO enact legislation whereby the
State can use its credit to aid the
workers in securing suburban
homes on such land, together with
providing means whereby families
can be taught how to use such sub
urban homes prohtably. The OBJ
ject sought, aside from that alrerd y
stated, is the abolition of unhealth-
full ccngested districts in the city.

On last Tuesday evening II To-
cal journeymen bakers met in
Trades Council Hall and after sew
eral little talks the men decided to
organize another union. All pres
ent paid the required initiation fee
and signed their names TO the roll,
other bakers will attend the meet
Ing to be held Saturday night and
join the organization. After the
union is thoroughly organized the
bakers will proceed to give the
non union outside bread a black
eye. There is no good reason why
this outside bread should lie pur-
chased by the Hamilton people.
We have good sanitary bakeshops
capable of supplying every family
and business house in the city with
good wholesome bread promptly.
The bread consumers will be asked
by the trades unions to hereafter
purchase only bread that bears the
label of Bakery Workers Union.
Several of the bake shops have al
ready asked for the labels and they
will be supplied with the same
about the first of next week. The
bakers will shortly ask the Co op-
erative Trades aud all affiliated un-
ions for their support in their work.

Settlement Reached.

Kansas City. Mo. Oct. 10.-Con-
ferences which have been going on
since May between the manage
ment Of the Kansas City Southern
Railroad and the committee repre-
senting the different shop organi-
cations have resulted III an agree
ment. Among the principal de
mands made by the committee rep
resentiDg the shop men were future
negotiations with the federated
trades and and increase in the wage
scale. 1t is stated that the rail
road representatives at first refused
to deal with the federation, assert
ing that they would only treat with
the representatives of each trade
separately. 1t is now said that,
althoug the settlement has not
been given out as yet, the railroads
finally receded from their position,
and will now deal ith the fedora
ton OF trades as we'll as agreeing
to an increase of IL cents to 2
cents all hour, and also six-d day
week of nine hours each.

Baltimore. Oct. 10.-The State
Bureau of Industrial Statistics and
Information deals directly with the
child laber laws enforcement, and
that bureau claims that the 1000
boys and girls of school age en-
rolled in the school this year in
excess of the number enrolled last
year is the result of the new child
labor law. The bureau is empow
cred TO issue permits for boys and
girls 70 werk during the vacation
period, but as soon as school opens
these permits become veid Under
the law, however, child, in order
to secure permit to work, must
be fourteen years old and have
completed fifth grade work, includ-
ing certain specific branches, such
as fractions. A large number of
children under no restrictions would
have gone to work this fall, but
because they have not completed
the fifth grade their attendance at
school was compulsory. The law
is working out in satisfactory
manner, and is considered to be a
long step in advance.

Wants Yards Busy.

Washington, Oct. 10.-In order
to maintain government navy yards
at their highest efficiency through
continuous employ of full
force of mechanics Secretary Dan
iels is devising plan by which he
hopes to induce all the executive
branches of government to nd to
the government yards all repair
work to be done on all types f
floating craft owned by the govern
ment. The end to be finally sought
is the construction also Of all gov
ernment craft at government yards,
The Secretary points out that un-
interrupted employ oyment for navy
yard workers is one of the essen
tials Of the efficient operation of
naval stations, while failure to give
continuous employment to these
workers may seriously impair their
usefulness in time of emergency.
The position is taken that assign
ment of all work on government
craft to government yards, not only
would decrease the cost, but would
increase military efficiency in times
of emergency.

BATTLES IN THE BLOOD.
Antitoxins Fight the Germs of Their
Particular Disease.


When any animal has a certain dis
ease its body produces large quantities
of the particular antitoxin that will
fight that disease. If the blood of this
animal be introduced into another ami
NAL the latter will get the disease, but
IN milder form, and will at the same
time be stimulated to secrete large
quantities of the antitoxin. 1t is now
capable of resisting an attack by an
army Of powerful germs and becomes
Immune" TO the real disease.
If its blood be drawn and filtered to
free it from red and white corpuscles
the serum that is left is merely the
watery part Of the blood heavily
charged with the antitoxins of that
disease. This, injected into the blood
of person suffering from 1t, re-en~
forces the antitoxins already there and
speedily routs the enemy by neutraliz~
ing the poisons that the toxic germs
are liberating.
Serum is prepared In two ways-one
by taking it from the blood of another
animal, the other by culture from
the blood of the patient himself.
There are only one or two diseases

Changes Plan.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Recently
it was announced by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels that navy yard
employees would be represented on
the wage boards, but it now de-
velops that change is to be made
in that plan, and the United States
Department of Labor is to be called
upon to determine the wage scale
for the different yards. The law
requires that navy yard employees
be paid wages equivalent to those
in civil establishments in the vicin-
ity." The Secretary of the De
partment of Labor therefore will
make the investigation and report
his findings to the Navy Depart
ment, thus eliminating the former
plan of placing representatives of
the navy yard workmen on the
wage boards as previously.

Ohio to Charles A. Thatcher, an
attorney disbarred four years ago
for criticising Toledo judges. The
Lawyers union sought Thatchers'
disbarrment because of his criticism
being based on decisions favorable
to big corporations in personal in
jury cases, of which the bulk of
his practice consisted. Thatcher S
defense was that his obligations as
an attorney did not remove his con.
stitutional right of free speech.
The elections following Thatcher s
disbarrment resulted in the defeat
of two judges and the withdrawal
from the race of another candidate.
Another Judge criticised by That
cher died in Office. In 1912, under
the nonpartisan judiciary law
Thatcher was a candidate for su-
preme Judge, but was defeated,
although obtaining remarkable
vote running only slightly behind
the leaders in the contest. This
ends an interesting incident, FIVE
of the judges on the State Supreme
Court Bench voting to annul the
disbarrment and only ole Judge
voting to continue it.

Experiment Big Success,

Pittsburg, Oct. 10.-That a bar
rier of pulverized stone will effec-
tually restrain coal dust explosion
in coal mine from spreading,
was conclusively proven, according
to experts, by the demonstration
put on at the Bruceton experimen
tai mines before the delegates to
the convention of the American
Mine Safety Association. Coal
dust had been placed in The main
entry from the face to within 500
feet of the mouth. At that point
ten-foot taffanel barrier consisting
of a number of shelves two feet
wide, covered with as much stone
dust as could be heaped upon them
had been erected. Igniting cannon
had been mounted at the face and
these were exploded by electricity
This caused the coal dust to ex-
plode, reproducing conditions that
prevail in mine during an explo-
sion. 1t was found that the flames
had not passed the barrier.

MATCHING PEARLS.
orientals Believe In Sex and Affinity
In the Gems.

In the Gems.
Most brides are partial to pearls, and
In some eastern countries no other
jewels are allowed to figure among the
bridal ornaments.
In Persia the notion prevails that
the pearls themselves are susceptible
Of married bliss. Among the hereditary
jewelers. of the Persian court it Is an
article Of faith that pearls have sex
and that every one has its mate. it's
equal in size and beauty. The surest
way to avoid the dreaded pearl disease
Is to mount the pearls in pairs. If de-
prived of their mates they languish
and lose luster: hence the desire to
match pearls which has led to such ex-
| travagance.
1t Is said that the great glory of the
ropes of pearls given to Queen Alex.
andra by some of the princes of India
was the perfect matching of almost
all of the pearls. Thus the eastern
experts believed they were assuring
| bng life for these jewels. 1t is believed

searls when they contract the pearl
disease
Some readers may remember that
the first whisper of coming misfortune
for the beautiful Empress Eugenie
arose when the news was spread
abroad that her pearls were spotted
and crumbling away. OF course, the
French jewelers. would have derided
the eastern notion Of sex and affinity
In pearls, but the keepers of the shah's
| jewels believe in it, and they have
preserved many of the crown jewels
for centuries. Modern jewelers. are al
ways on the lookout for opportunities

| or rubies. And it is curious that
| persistent searching generally discov-
ers that all pearls have doubles in size,
