plate of chop suey?"
Annie had begun on the weekly
laundry work, and, as usual, had
gone down to the basement for our
weekly visit while 1 sorted the
clothes for her. Annie and 1 are
friends of about fifteen years stand

woman friend her optimistic Irish
philosophy interests and instructs me.
Besides, 1 know that l could call
upon her for nothing that was in her

"Do you know, Miss Margaret, we

ordered our supper as formal and
grand as anyone.
'The bill came to sivinty cints

tested game from start to finish, end
ing in Stoughton's favor by score of
&c to %. The first half was fine dis
play of guarding and basket shooting
on both sides and when the whistle
blew the score was IA to IA. In the
second half the academy quintet start
ed in with some fast team work and
succeeded in gaining the lead, but
Stoughton then got down to roughing
it and took the lead by making four
baskets and they managed to keep
ahead until the finish. From the spec
tators' point of view it looked as
though it might have been an indoor
game of football instead of clean
game of basketball

Whv We Lose OnaIs.

The reason why opals are so often
lost from their settings is that they
expand with heat more than other
precious stones, and consequently

BOOKBINDERS.

~Ponderous tones are notoriously
unintercsting. but perhaps the biggest
book in the world, finished in this city
recently, went them one better by hav-
ing nothing i'll it, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. Ii was the blank book,
eight feet long. six feet wide and two
Zee thick, carried in the union labor
parade last night by the local Book
binders Union. There were plenty OF
lines and plenty OF paper in it. but save
ior the plate OF the union label on the
binding not a word inside or ont.
The employees OF the William +. Muir
ply Company OF 509 Chestnut street put
The finishing touches ON the book. The
binding was made OF the best cloth. with
leather trimmings and the paper was OF
the standard blank book quality.

Horseshoers

After a six months strike the Horse
-hoers' Union has decisively defeated
th. Master Horseshoers' Associations OF
Scranton. Pa. and secured contract
which provides for nine-hour work
day. double time for overtime, 50
week wage increase, recognition OF the
union and better working conditions
The victory OF the horseshoers Is com
plete. and the employers paid costly
price for their continued refusal to ar
bitrate differences and their determina-
ton to wreck the workers organlza-
tion.
In their efforts to avoid 4 strike, the
unionists offered to contract that jour
nevmen would work the first six months
without an increase; 30 cents week to
be granted the next six months; the
agreement to run for three years, with
a provision that the wage scale should
be opened for revision every year Tins
was rejected. as was the tender of its
good offices by the state labor depart
ment to attempt to adjust the contro-
versy. which was accepted by the horse
shoers.
"Then the fight between capital and
labor took place in earnest. One after
the other attacked, fell before the on
ward march and for the past three
weeks some OF the masters have been
licked out OF their boots and the rest
saw the handwriting on the wall and
fell into line. They displayed good
judgment.
1T is but fair to state that the strike
could have been avoided and much
money saved if little common sense
had been used in the first place. The
iourneymen did all in their power to
avoid a strike and We're advised by the
Central Labor Union.'

Garment Workers

At the next session OF the Sixty y-third
Congress the Senate will consider the
Burnett immigration bill. which pro-
vides for literacy test for immigrants.
The bill has been reported favorably Dy
the Senate committee on immigration.
In discussing this question the United
Garment Workers of America at re-
cent convention held at Nashville took
this position:
The enormous accessions to the ranks
of our competing wage workers, being
to a great extent unemployed or only
partly employed at uncertain wages, are
lowering the standard OF living among
the masses of the working people Of
this country without giving promise to
uplift the great body of immigrants
themselves. The overlooking of the Ia
Dor markets has become a menace to
many trade unions, especially those oi
the less skilled workers. Little or no
benefit can possibly accrue to an in
ereasing proportion OF the great NUM-
bers vet comog. They are untitled to
battle intelligently for their rights IN
this republic. to whose present burdens
they but add Others still greater. The
fate OF the majority OF the foreign wage
workers now here has served to demon
-trate on the largest possible scale that
immigration il no solution OF the world
wide problem of poverty.
Resolved. That we call on American
trade unionists to oppose emphatically
the proposed scheme OF government dis
tribution of immigrants. since it would
be an obvious means OF directly and
cheaply furnishing strikebreakers TO the
combined capitalists now seeking the de-
struction of trade unions.
Resolved, That we condemn all forms
oil assisted immigration through charita-
bic agencies or otherwise.
Resolved. That we warn the poor OF
the earth against coming to America
with false hopes. II is our duty to in
form them that the economic situation
in this country is changing with the
same rapidity as the methods of indus
try and commerce.
Resolved, That we call ON the gov
ernment OF the United States for a
righteous relief OF the wage worker:
now in America. We desire that il
should either a. suspend immigration
totally for term Of years, or ~ put
into force such an illiteracy test as viii
exclude the ignorant and also impos'
such head tax a. viii compel the body
Of immigrants TO pay their full footing
here and be sufficient TO send back al
I those who within stated period should
| become public dependents.
