Philadelphia, July, 18.-The
breach among the street carmen,
which resulted in the formation of
a duel union, is about to be healed.
A joint meeting has Just been held

being in attendance. Plans were
proposed whereby peace can be re
stored between the contending or
CARNATIONS and the men reunited.
Leaders of both of these organiza-
tions admit that the split among the
carmen has been exceedingly dis
asterous and the men themselves
now realize that there is only reom
for one street Garments organiza-

all probability the time is not far
distant when a single compact un-
ion of street carmen will be an es-
tablished fact In this city.

SECRET OF A LONG LIFE.

You sometimes see a women
whose old age is an exquisite as
was the perfect bloom of her youth.
You wonder how it Is her life has
been long and happy one. Here
are some of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disa-
greeable things.
She kept her nerves well at hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came
to her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and
did not believe all the world wicked
and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nsthing, but are
priceless treasures to the discour-
aged.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age
has come to her, and there is halo
of white hair about her head, she
is loved and considered. This is
the secret Of a long life and happy
one.

Winning A Victory.

Baltimore, July 1o.-The ma
chinists who inauguarated a strike
in this city for the purpose of es-
tablishing the eight hour day, are
making good progress. A large
number of the shops have acceded
to the demand, and other shops are
signing from time to time. The
eight hour day in these settlements
is to be reached by reducing frac-
ton of hours at different periods,
the eighth hour day to be effective
on May /, 1914. The Metal
Trades Association, which has
been fighting the Machinists, is
daily losing its effectiveness, and
employers are breaking away and
signing the agreement. The mini
mum rate of wages has also been
raised from $2.75 to So per day,
this being added to the reduction In
working time.
