CneaCf1cal unions are pfacC1cally 1m- pregnable, the fake unions now peck ing at the A. F. of l.. unions num- Der seven, and bills are already pend ing before the New York State Leg islature designed to drive them out of the state.
 Demand Removal of Tickets.
 One of the first moves made by Mir. Ginsberg from New York was to ask for conference with President Stagg of the regular local union. His first request was for an armistice, demanding the withdrawal of the pickets from theaters now being picketed. When this request was definitely turned down he reminded President Stagg that the homes of union moving picture operators in Kansas City were recently mysteri- ously bombed and intimated that similar unfortunate results might come from the refusal to call off the pickets. He also warned that unless some settlement were arrived at union-operated theaters in this city would be stench bombed and picketed by brotherhood" members imported from New York. President Stagg replied to these threats that picketing was the legal right of any citizen and that he had no objection to any one exercising his rights, although the attempt to import non-citizens from New York or elsewhere for picket duty would be sure to prove boomerang to the managers. New York gorillas, he told Ginsberg, would find Hartford an unhealthy place to ply their trade, pointing out the record of States Attorney Alcorn for his information.
 Use of Stench Bombs.
 Official representatives of the local theatrical unions said that stench bombs had been used in Hartford non union theaters by disaffected former ,employes of the theaters who hoped that the public would lay the dastardly acts to the unions. It was said that the turnover of ushers and other employees in the n-union-operated theaters is very large and that the city always has a large number of discharged employees seeking revenge upon such houses. It was pointed out that the places where stench bombs were found showed plainly that only those intimately acquainted with the layout of the theater could have planted them. Dismissed em- ployes always welcome labor disputes in theaters as giving them the opportunity for revenge with little chance of having suspicion directed toward them, the labor representa- tives said.

It is the Taxpayer Who
 Pays and Pays

Albany, N. Y.-Unemployment and the depression resulted in a 12 per cent. increase last year over 1880 in the almshouse population of the State, the State Board of Social Welfare reports. The increase was more than three times that of 1880.
 At the end of 1881 there were 12,238 persons in the institutions, compared with the 10,992 at the end of the previous year.
 The usual summer exodus, said the report, did not occur in 1881, due to the fact that the usual summer odd jobs were not available.

Neev Workers Imported for
 Fight 0n Theater Unions
Managers of Pcketed Houses Here Become Frantic Loss
 of Patronage and Want Tickets Removed

That the picketing of theaters in this city under the direction of the local unions of moving picture opera tors and theatrical stage employees affiliated with the American Fedora tion of Labor is having it's effect on the box office has now been fully revealed by frantic efforts of the managers of the affected houses to organize a counter offensive. After maintaining an outwardly bold front for several months, these managers have broken down and admitted that the public is avoiding their theaters. At least that is the construction put by union spokesmen upon the recent desperate efforts of the managers to drive the pickets away from their public entrances by the importation of labor racketeers.
 Would Escape Non Union Curse.
 Realizing at last that public patron age is severely affected by the ab- sence of union operators in the theaters, the managers have arranged with promoters from New York to organize an outlaw union under the aegis of what is known as the Brother hood of Motion Picture Operators of North America. The Brotherhood is the official name of the "company union' of the theater owners, who s-,J 4o r of the wages provided for by regular union wage scales. It is a labor organization in name only, the dues being paid directly by the theater managers and taken out of the opera tors wages. According to H. L. Stagg, President of the Hartford local of moving picture operators affiliated with the A. F. of L., the theaters not manned by regular union operators hope to remove from the minds of the public the stigma of being non union house. The new tie-up, he said, would give them the chance to assert that they employ union operators. MT. Stagg doubted, however, that the public would be deceived by the new maneuver, pointing out the fact that when labor unions are referred to no one ever thinks of the "company unions' of factories and other large industrial units, in spite of the dili- gence with which Open Shop en- ployers try to Eaake their "unions' look regular in their publicity. "All we shall have to do," said MT. Stagg to Craftsman representative, "is to see to it that the general public is made fully aware that the organiza ton into which the operators in the theaters considered to be unfair by cur union are being herded by their employers is not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and the general public will, do the rest. And you may rest assured that we shall do that through pickets and other means of publicity"
 Outlaw Unions.
 According to MT. Stagg, the man. agers of the Cameo, Rivoli, Loew's, and Grown theaters met recently with Max Ginsberg, an organizer for the outlaw union from New York City, and agreed to plan suggested for breaking up the picketing by the regular union here. Without consult ing the employees who were to become members" of the brotherhood, the employers agreed to list them all in the organization and to deduct the dues from their pay in the form of a checkoff.

The contract of the trolley men with the Connecticut Company expires on June 1, next, and it is pro- vided that any suggestions for changes of conditions must be formu- lated and presented at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the exist ing contract. It is necessary, there fore, that action on the new features be taken before April 1. With senti- ment generally favoring the adoption of the petition, it is not expected that there will be any difficulty in getting the proper authorization to present it to the employers. At the meeting at which the delegates were chosen Commissioner of Public Service John R. O'Connor, of Chicago, an active worker in the ranks of Organized Labor for more than thirty-five years, gave a brilliant address on the Ma chine Age.
 Smoker Planned.
 The local union has planned for a smoker to be held in the Labor Temple on April 4, at which time it is expected that full report of the meeting at New Haven will be avail able. A prominent speaker will ad- dress the members as they smoke and rest "at the end of the line."

WeinstOck's Frenzy.

Manager Ben Weinstock of the Cameo Theater, which has been regu- larly picketed since last fall, appar- ently is beginning to despair of the winter as an ally. Having been obliged to watch the ceaseless march of the pickets before his box office, he has resorted to one false charge after another against them. First he charged them with fighting with one another, a charge that fell flat upon investigation. Later, after failing to secure police interference, he openly charged the police officer on the beat with undue friendliness with the pickets. He charged that he talked with and smiled at the pickets from time to time.

SCIENCE MUSEUM FOR
FINLAYSON SCHOOL

The Glass of 1892 of the Finlayson
high school, is leaving to the school,
beautiful and lasting memorial in
the form of a large glass cabinet to
be used as a museum of natural
science. The cabinet is being con
structed under the direction of C. Hog
lund of Finlayson.
1t is the plan of the school to have
a large and varied collection of OBJ
jects from practically all over the
world, to be used as concrete mater
ials of instruction. The child's inter
ests are more fully aroused, and his
experiences more complete when he
can see and handle the things ne is
studying about. The child also enjoys
the thrill of collecting, as well as
learning to examine, classify and eval-
uate the objects of his search and
interest. He will also be encouraged
to mount specimens and make glass
cases for the more valuable articles.
The collection up to the present
boasts of cotton from the southern
states; minerals and stones from ali
parts of Minnesota; and seashells from
Florida, California and the Orient
Rocks from the Rainbow Petrified
forest of Arizona; butterflies and other
mounted insects, and many other OBJ
jectS.

the young people, under the super
vision of Fred B. Willrett, county
agent, Jack Randall, Geo. Henionen,
Frank Hobbs and Joseph Koenings,
officers of the Pine River Community
Club, formed a All Club organization,
with a charter membership of more
than 40. The projects in which these
young people enrolled, include dairy
calf, pig. potato, poultry and sewing.
Several have not yet decided upon a
project, but they will no doubt take
up some of the projects being carried
by other members of the club. This
club is one of the largest All Clubs
in Pine county and of its kind any
where. This group of alert, enthusi-
astic, forward looking boys and girls
are indeed credit to the community
and folks predict that they will be
heard from at the county and state
fairs.
