PATTERN MAKERS
Are also on the Up Grade
New Members Being Secured by
Organizer CunIifte

Another union that is rapidly In
creasing in membership is the
Pattern Makers League of this
city. VIM. A. Cunliffe represent
ing this organization with head
quarters in Cincinnati has been in
the city for the past week looking
after the interests of the Pattern
Makers. His visit here has been
very encouraging and his union is
on the increase. Applications are
being daily received and at the last
meeting which was held ia Trades
Council Hall fifteen members were
initiated. Another open meeting
will be held Friday night, Septem-
Der l7th. All Pattern Makers are
requested to attend this meeting
We are told that there are two
Pattern Makers who are doing
everything possible to keep the
men from joining the union but
their efforts have resulted In the
men becoming more interested In
the union and becoming members.
1t would be we'll for these two Pat
tern Makers to get in the union
while "gettin" Is good. CunIiffe
will remain here until every Pat.
tern Maker Is member of the
League.

LIKE a MONEY TREE
Simple and Profitable Scheme of a
koneo Trading Company.


koneo Trading Company.
The possibilities of a really enter
prising trading company are realized
at Kifiku, central Africa, where the
Kongo Oriental company owns all
stores, where money can be spent and
fixes its own prices for ivory, rubber,
abor and trade goods. ut was as If
by planting a few francs in the ground
money bearing trees had sprung into
existence" The lucrative procedure is
explained in James Barnes Through
Central Africa"
'As soon as a native was paid cash
for anything, either as an advance or
for services rendered, he fastened hot
foot to the company's stores and
bought anything from O harmonicon to
secondhand gold braided uniform,
and as the profit in these articles ran
from 100 to $50 per cent it can easily
be seen where the money trees come in.
''The man who had brought in ivory
was paid for 1t in cash at a rate that
insured a profit of about $50 per cent.
and Immediately he repaired to the
store, where he bought things he had
no use for, giving another profit of
cent per cent at least. The money was
sent from the store to the company's
offices, where the native was paid for
carrying the ivory on the first stage of
its long journey to the coast The
money received was the same that had
been paid for the ivory In the first
place, and the bearer would surely
come back and spend his wages at the
store again.
ut was a lovely system, and the
only real chance for loss was the wear
and tear on the money itself and the
expense Of bookkeeping. If the native
demanded an extra price for ivory or
labor there was very little trouble
made over 1.-THE extra cost was add
ed to the articles in the store"

In the past two weeks there has
been much activity among the ma
chiEists who are employed among
the different factories throughout
the city. There has also been
much activity among the heads of
the factories since they have been
made to realize that the rapid in
crease in the membership of Ham
ilton Local No. 241, l. A. of M,
is no joke, The MONDAY meetings
that are held around the machine
shops have been largely attended
by machinists, molders, pottern
makers and in fact all trades con-
nected with the large plants. Or
ganizer Griffith who has been con-
ducting these gatherings has put
the side of the machinists squarely
to the men and by continual in
crease in membership of the Ham
ilton local thu members certainly
have placed confidence in him. He
has informed the machinists that
machinists in the East have been
granted the eight hour day with an
increase in pay and that the factor
les have signed contracts with the
organization. The machine shops
will grant the eight hour day in
Hamilton if the members will be
loyal to the union and stick until
these demands are granted.
In order to stall the progress of
the union The Niles Tool Works
Company notified their employees
that they are going to voluntarily
grant them an increase in wages
which organizer Griffith says a.
mounts to ten per cent. Follow
ing this. wonderful voluntarily act
The Hooven Owens & Rentschler
plant will also grant their men an
increase and it will not be surpris-
ing if all other machine shops in
the city would voluntarily
grant it also. But it is not likely
that the machinists will comprom-
ise the eight hour day for an in
crease of ten per cent. "The ma
chinists are after the eight hour
day with the same pay they are
now receiving and time and one
half fer overtime" This is what
the machinists in the east have re
ceived and one of the shops that
has granted this is the Niles Pond
Machine Tool Company branch
of The Niles Tool Works Company
of Hamilton. There Is the propo-
sition for the machinists to ponder
over. IF the branch of the Niles
Company in the east can grant the

TOO NAUGHTY TO WORK.
English Servants Will Not Do What
They Think Beneath Them.

They Think Beneath Them.
The Lowells lived at 81 Lowndes
square, having moved there from an
other house in the same square. Their
establishment was not magnificent, but
adequate, with sufficient complement
of servants. These servants were en-
gagged for special posts in the Service
as Is always the custom in England,
and each was a stickler for his preroga-
tves and perquisites and quick to re-
sent any demand that did not fall In
the province of his sharply defined du-
ties.
1t so happened that In moving a car
pet from the former house had been
put down in the new one, leaving few
inches uncovered in corner, which the
furnishers had overlooked As there
was a dinner party at the embassy that
night and Mrs Lowell possessed a
piece Of the carpeting to cover the bare
spot on the floor, she rang for one of
the menservants and asked him If he
would kindly tack it down for her He
drew himself up, distinctly offended in
his pride.
II beg your pardon, your excellency,"
he said, "but 1t is not my place to do
that. l will ring for Alfred"
Alfred appeared, and his answer to
the same request was:
II beg pardon, your excellency, but
1t is not my place to lay carpets. I will
call Charles"
And Charles came with the same an
swer. Mrs. Lowell called up, l think,
every male servant In the house, but
one and all stuck their noses in the
air and looked with disdain upon the
humiliating hammer and tacks. She
then had them stand In a row while
she herself proceeded to nail down the
small corner of carpet and instantly
dismissed them from her service

Wood PUN

Observation OF nature has often sug

years ago James G. Blaine said to DR..
Hill that there was rapidly dimin-

papermaking. That set DR.. Hill think
ing. One day he came into the office
Of paper manufacturer holding
hornets nest in his hand. why can
not you make paper like this?" he
said DR.. Hills trained eye had seen
that the hornet began making its nest
by chewing up particles of wood into
a fine pulp. That illustration led to the
use Of wood pulp for making paper.

The efficiency of these women would

DICKINSON MULES.

Freezing, Va, June 2.-The mule
is growing into disrepute in west
end of Dickinson county, naturally,
from the recent intelligence gained
by this correspondent. Here are the
charges that confront him in two sep
arate cases: A mule belonging to
Amos Reed, of Freezing, bent upon
mischief, did attack young colt, the
property of Basil Potter, of the same
town, and did mercilessly stamp.
bite, and otherwise use violence up
on the said colt till life became ex-
tinct. Potter's son, lad of perhaps
ten years, was by, but all his efforts
to preserve order were as nought.
The other count against him is in the
"person" of a hybrid belonging to
George Mead, of Brush Creek. In
this case his muleship ran yearling
colt into rail fence, breaking its
leg. The colt was of the personal
belongings Of Meade also.
