surrounded by party Of young men,
who made up purse, and Messrs

each Of the home boys throwing the

Death of Little Nolan.

Tie heartfelt sympathy Of tie com
manity goes ont to Nj and Mrs O
a Eel in the death Of their precious
little SOB Nolan. who vas the Joy
and sunshine Of their home.
TIE sweet spirit Of little Nolan
passed into the arms Of his Maker Oh

ing day the dear form was laid 10 rest

2. ] Garrett conducting the relig-

Little Nolan vas years and II
days old when God took him home
TO heaven. The child was i'll for five
long months during which time the
anxious parents, assisted by kindly
friends and their physician, did all
in their power to restore the baby to
health, but tender care, tears and
prayers were all 10 vain and, while
the faithful watchers kept vigil
around his bedside, Little Nolan went
to sleep-the grim and unfeeling mes
senger had called for his spirit.
Thus the dark canopy of gloom has
again fallen over the home and hearts
of our good friends and with heart
felt symp athy for their irreparable
loss, we commend them to the Di-
vine care and protection of God, trust
ing they NAV realize that earth has
no sorrows heaven cannot heal
We had little treasure once
He was our JOY and pride
W. loved him, all, perhaps too we'll
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark within our home,
Lonely is our hearts today:
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.

SEATTLE DoINes.

Seattle, Wash.-After several weeks of
Industrious work the Moving Picture Ope-
rators' union has made the city practic-
ally union town, SO far as this class OF
show business is concerned. The bakers
also have been rewarded handsomely by
their efforts. There is not a bakery of
any Importance in the city that is not
working under union conditions, with one
or two exceptions. This includes not
only the bakers, but the bakery drivers
as we'll The Riggers and Stevedores'
union has also secured from the sound
owners a slight increase in the wage scale
and still further recognition of the or
ganization. This organization is in bet
ter shape than for years, with prospects
of a continued growth and still further
success in the future.

NEWS FROM TORONTO.

Toronto, Can.-At present there are
approximately 1900 wage workers oD
strike in this city, as follows: Structural
Iron Workers, 200; Plasterers' Laborers.
300; Cabinet Makers and Mill Hands,
$50; Tailors, 20; Garment Workers, 200;
Photo Engravers, 80, and Glass Workers,
26. The proposed agreement presented
by the local union of Amalgamated Glass
Workers has been accepted by every firm
in the city with two exceptions. These
latter firms, however are large manufac-
turers of stained memorial windows for
churches ana ornamental loaded windows
of all kinds. The outlook is very good,
however, for securing an amicable ad-
justment from the firms in question. The
strike of the shoe operatives of the ]. w.
Hewitson company has ended in com
plete victory for the union, all their de-
mands having been granted During the
last six months an advance in wages of
Is per cent has been secured. The Iron
Molders also have just secured a settle
ment, a compromise having been effected.
The wages have been raised from $3.10
to $342 per day. The Boilermakers and
Helpers of st. Thomas, who some eight
months ago seeded from the information
al union and Joined purely Canadian
union, have recanted and returned to the
legitimate union. The helpers soon
learned that the purely Canadian union
plan could not produce results, and now
acknowledge that they were led astray

CHEAP LABOR AND THE JAPs.
csifornians Now Realize Danger of Ash
attic Labor.

Fresno, Cal. Cheap labor always
brings its deluge, its bitter harvest" In
these words a member of the state legis-
lature and a farmer from the San Joaquin
valley, in a recent interview in the news
papers, touched the handspring of the
japanese situation in California, that re-
suited in statewide demand for relief
and which caused the passage of an anti
alien bill by the legislature, which has
stirred the entire world. This California
farmer admits that the employers of the
state are paying for what he now con-
cedes as their own economic sins of the
past decade in coddling Asiatic labor at
the expense of white toilers, who have
gradually been driven off the ranches, in
whole districts of the state. Thus he
says, Japanese labor, once cheap, has be-
come indispensable and expensive, and
the shrewd brown men, today alone in
the ranch labor field, hold up the grower
at will. And the Jap was quick to note
the trend of things in his own favor"
said this farmer. Japanese bosses con-
trolling gangs of hands appeared Gradu-
ally they succeeded in getting wages
raised. They took good care that the
supply never exceeded the demand.
When one section had a surplus of Japa-
nese laborers they were shipped to an
other district-to keep the market
stable" And this serves the grasping
employers of California right. In the
chase and scramble for money many of
the California employers forgot that there
might be a day of reckoning, but the peo-
pie of California are now fully cognizanf
of the menace of Asiatic labor, and may
be able in a measure to retrieve them
selves from their former economic indis-
cretions.

GRANTS THE EleHT-HoUR DAY.
Independent Paper Mills on Three-tour
System.

Holyoke, Mass.-Pursuant to an agita-
tion having been carried on for many
months by the papermakers, all of the in
dependent mills in this section have at
last granted the request for the eight-hour
day, or, as the papermakers phrase it, the
three-tour system. The last of the indie
pendent mills to grant this request was
the Valley Paper company and the short
er work day will go into effect in that
mill on June 80. Some of the mills of the
American Writing Paper company, the
trust, are now operating on the eight-hour
day None of the fine mills in Holyoke
has been granted the shorter work day.
The American Writing Paper company,
however, has granted the three-tour sys-
tenn in their mills elsewhere, but SO far
has failed to do so in this city. Efforts
are now to be made to secure the still
further extension of the three-tour sys-
TEN in the mills manufacturing the higher
grades of paper.

TELEPHONE TROUBLES.

st. .Louis-Following the discharge of
twenty-five members of the Electrical
Workers union for being members Of
that union, all maintenance men in the
employ of the Bell Telephone company
were recently called out. About 200 men
quit work and the companys exchanges
are badly handicapped. Girl telephone
operators to the number of 125 have been
organized. At the organization meeting
most of the girls left the meeting by way
of the fire escape in order to escape de-
lection by spoilers who were stationed
at the main entrance of the building in
which the meeting was held. At later
meeting a large number of additional ap-
plicants for membership in the new union
were secured. This is the first organiza'
ton that has ever existed among st.
Louis phone operators The girls have
been working nine and ten hours day
for monthly wage that runs from $40
to $50. No decision has yet been arrived
at with reference to strike. The active
spirits of the Women's Trade Union
league are in charge of the organization
work of the phone operators.
