Galesburg, ILL.,, April 10.-A large
number OF unions in this city are seek
ing new contracts this sprign, and as
many agreements expired April l
there is much activity among the I'M
ions. The Painters and Paperhangers
are the first to get new agreement
signed They were successful in So
curing all contractors to agree to q
new wage scale. The new agreement
carries with it III cents per hour in
crease over the present scale, making
the minimu mwage for Painters As
cents per hour, and for Paperhangers
471s cents per hour. Teh agreement
is for one year and calls for the un-
ion shop. The Transfers working on
excavation and scraper work have
also secured an agreement with nearly
all of the contractors. The Carpen-
tiers are asking for slight raises and
a, number of contractors have signi-
fled their willingness to meet the adj
vance,g and no trouble is anticipated.
No serious difficulty is apparently
pending, although there is a feeling
of unrest and uncertainty among
some OF the organizations.

Denver, April 10.-State Statistician
R. E. Croskey has complied for the
biennial report of the deputy labor
commissioner list Of the number OF
organized wage-earners in the state.
While all of the unions in the state

pounded in the search for informa-
ton, other means were brought into
requisition whereby the compilation
is as near complete as it is possible
The total number of labor unions in
the state is 379, with a membership
of 28,245. This figure represents the
actual dues-paying members in good
standing, and to this number should
be added at least Is pert cent, woh,'
through lack of employment at their
regular vocation or other causes. are
temporarily not working at their
trade. Consequently, $4,000 probably
would be the correct number Of I'M
ionists in this state. To this latter
number should be added 1000 men,
bers OF Women's auxiliaries to labor
Unions, composed mainly of wives,
sisters, and daughters OF union men,
bers. Denver, the metropolis of the
state, has a membership affiliated
with the labor unions and women'S
auxiliaries of 1906.

means to more than 100000 men
engaged in the mining and mineral in
dustries of the country that the Fed

men than anythiAg the Federal gov
eminent has ever done. 1t will re-
duce then umber OF widows and

nation OF Street Railway Employees
Union on the Boston and Worcester,
those travelling anywhere from the
Cape to New Yogk will be riding on
care manned by men who carry cards
in their respective divisions. The
work of organizing the new union
started some time ago, when a small
number of men became interested and
decided to organize for their own pro
lection There exists relief associa-
ton, with which nearly every employe
has been affiliated. Through this as
ISOLATION and the mingling of the men
together, the question of organizing a
union, came as a natural sequence,
and finally the entire membership
voted in body to form division of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
OF America. The organized men on
other electrical roads are much pleas
ed over this result, and entertain
hopes that with thi snew organizing
coming into the field there are bright
prospects Of !. complete organization
of all street railways in New England.
Efforts are to be continued by the or
ganizers of the Amalgamated/Assoc
ton to bring about this much-desired
result

the outcome of several bills which
have been drafted by pottery authori-

ference between committee repre-
sentIng the strikers and the manager
of the concern. The settlement car
ried with it. among other things, an
advance of $3.50 a week to those who
failed to receive the advance after the
first strike. It Is well known that the
men temporarily employed during the

SAENGERBUND TO
SING UNDER TREE

Announcement was made last night
by Herman Gossen, president of the
Delaware Saengerbund that the Saen-
gerbund had accepted the invitation
Of Colonel George A. Elliott, chairman
of the Community Christmas Tree
committee, tc sing on the Court House
lawn on next Wednesday evening.
Not of the concert have been
sent to all the members of tho Saen-
gerbund who live in the city and one
hundred and six members have &C
cepted invitations to sing. The event
will undoubtedly draw hundreds of
people to the Court House lawn. The
Saengerbund will be remembered on
account of the very fine performance
it gave at Washington Heights during
"Old Home Week" last year. At that
time the organization won much
praise.
otto Vented will lead the singers
on this occasion. A rehearsal will be
held on Sunday afternoon, at O'Clock
in German Hall.

not bought trees were carrying them
Off In some instances a few trees
we're to be seen on the streets this
morning.
Although the cause of the slump in
the business was not learned. several
of the dealers had entered into an
agreement early Wednesday morninl
not to cut the prices on the trees bu
4 to cart them away instead. That thii
was done was shown by a numbe
of wagons loaded with trees bein
carried TO the outlying districts earl
"Wednesday evening.
While the Christmas tree markC
was slow, the Christmas green mar
kets where holly, mistletoe and ever
greens were 10 be had was the Oppo
site and the demand was greater thai
the supply This caused the pric

Christmas and in many homes yes
