Missing Fame by an "If."

Chicago Inter-OCean: DR.. Alex

telephone will probably serve his fame
to all future generations. And yet,
if
There has recently died in France
Charles Bourseul. who, in all proba-
bility, would have antedated Bell in
the invention of the telephone by
more than d decade. Indeed, he dis
covered the principle as early as 1854,
while Bells first patent was not filed
until 1876.
Bourseul was employed in the Paris
Bourse, and while in this employment,
Aug. 26, 1854, wrote to the Paris L.
Illustration as follows:
Sounds are formed by vibrations and
brought to the ear by. these same
vibrations, reproduced in intermediate
media. But the intensity of these
vibrations diminishes rapidly with the
distance, so that there are limits
which may not be exceeded. Suppose
that we speak near a plate so flexible
that it preserves all the vibrations Of
the voice, and hat this plate success
siVeFy makes and breaks communica-
lions with a battery. At a distance
nave another plate which will execute
the same vibrations at the same time.
I have begun experiments; they are
quite delicate and require time and
patience, but the approximations al
ready obtained give very favorable re-
suits.
These experiments are rudely inter-
rupted. Bourseul was dependent up
on his place for a livelihood and he
was given to understand that he
should not give his time to anything
else than his employment. He ac4
guessed, abandoned his experiments
and was content to remain a faithful
servitor in his place.

OF LABOR WILL BE HELD IN
FARGO, SUNDAY, JUNE 1-oF-
FlCIAL CALL ISSUED. T.

The third annual convention of the
North Dakota Federation Of Labor will
be held in Assembly halls. Fargo, be-
ginning at 8 o'clock a. M, Sunday
morning, June /.
President Johnson and Secretary
Lee have just issued the call which is
as follows:
To all Local Unions and Central
Bodies of North Dakota:
By order Of the board of directors a
call is hereby issued for the second
annual convention of the North Dako-
ia State Federation of Labor to be held
in Fargo on June !. 1913.
Assembly halls will be convention
headquarters.
Sunday morning, June /, at 8 o'clock
the president will call the convention
to order and the convention will con
tue until all business is disposed of
unless the delegates see fit to do other
wise.
Locals not yet affiliated with the
Federation and that wish to be repre-
sented at the convention may send to
the secretary, utilization fee of So and
Is cents for each member in good
standing which will pay for the pres
ent quarter ending June 80, 1918.

blank credentials which are to be
properly filled out when delegates are
elected, and signed by the president
and secretary. Forward to this office
the original and keep the duplicate for
presentation at the convention.
Hoping that all unions will be repre-
scented with a full number of delegates
We are, Yours fraternally, n. A. John
son, president; Walter r. Lee, secre-
tary.
Arrangements have been made to
properly entertain the delegates from
the various towns and no doubt a day
Of lively discussion will follow as these
conventions are always enlivened by
animated discussions.
There are now about 900 members
affiliated with the North Dakota State
Federation Of Labor. the greater null1-
Der Of them being in Grand Forks and
Fargo.
At the last convention there were
many matters of interest discussed,
among them being proposed legislation
in North Dakota for the laboring in
~terests.
AS it now stands North Dakota is in
the very lowest rank regarding labor
legislation, Arkansas, always regarded
as a backward state, leading by many
per cent.
There are no particular matters or
phases of union work to be discussed
at this convention except in a general
way to devise means for getting clos
er together.
Last year about seventy-fve dele
gates were in attendance and it is ex-
pected this year to seat a larger num-
Der.

GRIM A
Soon the Delaware and Jersey Oyster
Fleets Will Bornbard Each Other.

New York Evening Post: Grim
visaged war is raising its horrid front
between the sovereign powers of Del
aware and New Jersey. Two citizens
of the former state, peacefully engaged
in the honorable occupation of fishing
for shad in Delaware bay were seized
by deputy game wardens from New
Jersey and their nets and boat con-
fiscated on the ground that they were
violating a New Jersey law against
using gill nets. The governor of Della
ware t~hereupon sent a vigorously
worded letter to the governor of New
Jersey informing him that the Della
WareanS were within their rights and
would be protected. The Delaware
legislature added it's voice in support
Of his position. But his did not dis
may Governor Fielder. With a wealth
of legal learning that would have
daunted a less Independent people than
the subjects of Governor Miller, he
pointed to the compact of 1905, be-
tween the two powers, to a bill passed
by New Jersey in 1907, but not accept
ed by Delaware. AS evidences howev-
er, that he was unwilling to proceed to
hostilities, he released the captured
boats and nets. But the Jersey oyster
fleet is spending double it's usual time
in Encyclopaedia, and awaiting a dec
laration Of war.

ing union.
The stage hands have a perfect or

cure a good scale of wages and roper
| working conditions from the theatrical
managers of that city.
The Typographical union numbers
about thirty-five members and is well
organized and has good working Condi-
! tons. all shops being favorable to un-
ion labor in the city.
The. Freshmen have a small but well
organized union and working cOndi-
tions are all that could be desired.
In the building trades line one finds
that thorough organization is lacking.
The carpenters are now making ar
rangements to reorganize along better
lines, while the painters are badly dis
rupted. The plumbers have not been
able to organize in this city as they
should be organized, and as a conse-
quence one finds that much of the
plumbing is being lone by handy men
at about So per day.
There is, however, a tendency among
the building trades for a closer union.
The Trades & Labor Assembly meets
regularly and is we'll financed. Con-
rad Meyers Of the Typographical un-
ion is the secretary and Mr.. Morgan Of

The ASSEMBLY MEET
Held on Friday Evening, May 2 With
Good MISUNDERSTANDING Organ
izations Report.

The Fargo Trades & Labor assem-
bly, met in Assembly hall on Friday
evening, May 2, with a good attend
was transacted.
The reports of the various unions
showed FORK to be uniformly good in
all lines. There were a few plumbers
idle but with this exception all labor
ers were at work.
The painters delegates reported
that the new scale had been signed by
the master painters which carried
with it an increase of 5 cents an hour
in wages, making the scale now As
cents per hour with a nine hour day
until October 1, when it will be reduc-
ed to eight hours.
The carpenters reported that the
new wage scale as determined upon a
few months ago for May /, had been
acceeded to by the contractors with
out any friction and this now estab-
fishes a minimum scale Of As cents
per hour. Some of the contractors
went as far as to say that the increase
was only natural and the men were
entitled to 1t because Of the prevail
ing high cost of living, and some of the
contractors are o paying in excess
of the new scale.
The electricians were granted an
increase some time ago and by these
actions it is assured that there will be
no trouble between the contractors and
the building trades for the present
year. In fact the understanding and
regard existing between the two par
ties were never better.
The recent commission election was
discussed and it was the prevailing
belief that the new system would make
good. There were no applicants for
positions from the ranks of the labor
ing men of the city and the only ac-
ton Of any kind taken was a resolu-
ton endorsing Atty. A. r. Cole for the
position Of city attorney.
Walter r. Lee, secretary of the as
sembly rendered his resignation which
was accepted to take effect June /, in
order to allow the assembly opportu-
nifty to choose a competent successor
to Mr.. Lee. In his capacity of secre-
tary for the past year Mr.. Lee has
made good, has paid off all indebted
ness on Assembly halls and put the
business of the assembly on a sound
financial basis and his work has been
very highly appreciated by all friends
of organized labor.

You're bilious, you have a throb-

taste in your mouth, your eyes burn.
your skin is yellow, with dark rings
under you eyes; your lips are parch-

of bile not properly passed off, and
what you need is q cleaning up inside.
Don't continue being a bilious nuisance
to yourself and those who love you,
and don't resort to harsh physics that
irritate and injure. Remember that
most disorders Of the stomach, liver
and intestines can be quickly cured
by morning with gentle, thorough
Cascarets-they work while you sleep.
A 10-cent box from your druggist will
keep your liver n bowels clean:
