General Information Concerning Those Who Are Doing
the Work of the World.
In 20 years plasterers wages in
New York have increased from four
dollars to $5.50 a day, with a reduc
tion in weekly hour from 53 to 44.
Operative plasterers' union conven
tion at Toronto decided that a refer
endum vote should be taken by the
membership on the question of affiliat
ing with the A. F. of L. The leaders 1
believe that it will be decided in fa
vor. An all-round increase of 50 cents a
day has been secured by the Wood
Carvers', union in New York city, and
is to remain in force until the middle
of 190S. The members work eight
hours a day and a half day on Sat
urday.
At Las Vegas, N. M., the cow and
sheep herders have organized a union,
the scale of pay being $40 a month
and "found'' in the sage brush or else
where. The sheep 'herders are ar
ranged in eight hour shifts with Sun
days off.
East Liverpool, O., with a popula
tion of 22,000, is one of the most
strongly organized cities in the Unit
ed States. Its trades council is noted
far and wide as being-most progres
sive and up to date in its handling of
all questions dealing with labor.
Rhode Island state bureau of indus
trial statistics issued its annual re
port for 1905. It shows that the num
ber of wage earners has increased
nearly 10 per cent, over 1904, with 59,-
438 as against 53,189 the previous
year. In the same period the total
wages paid increased more than 11
per cent., from $22,630,536 to $25,126,
300. An even greater increase is
shown in the value of products with
a gain of $126,440,252 in 1905, as com
pared with $109,140,753 in 1904.
The fight between the National
Founders' association and the' Iron
Molders' union, which started last
May continues to drag along with lit
tle change in the conditions. Chicago
manufacturers say that their output
Is almost normal, while the striking
molders assert that they are perfect
ly satisfied with the situation. The
number of men on the strike pay roll
has been reduced to 110 for the past
week, the rest of the 3,000 members
Of the union being at work under the
new conditions. -
Judge Taylor in the United States
court at Toledo, O., granted a tem
porary injunction restraining striking
workmen at the Pope Motor Car
works ' for picketing the plant or in
any way interfering with the non
union men at work. The injunction
involves between 250 and 300 striking
machinists, and is one of the most
sweeping ever granted by a court in
Toledo. The strike has been in prog
ress at the Pope plant for more than
a month, and the men were replaced
by imported machinists from eastern
cities..
The French trades' union congress
at its closing session defeated, by 830
to eight votes, a motion to enter Into
fermanent relations with the social
ists, and adopted a resolution to hold
aloof from politics and devote the en
ergies of the trades unions for the
present to the amelioration of the con
dition of the workmen, a reduction of
the hours of labor, and the increase
of wages. The resolution reasserts
the adherence of the congress to the
principle of a general strike for the
accomplishment of the final object of
the trades unionists, namely, the ex
propriation of capital and social reor
ganization on a basis by which the
unions would ultimately become pro
ducers and distributers."
Unique in the history of Chicago's
industrial disputes is the strike of
jewelry workers. There is no picketing-
of shops, as is the case in nearly
all strikes, and nonunion men are out
and standing solidly with their union
fellow workmen. Neither side to the
dispute is calling the other side hard
names, and the usual complaint of
hard taskmakers and intolerable
working conditions Is never heard. It
is the first strike the jewelry workers
have engaged in since the local union
was organized, about five years ago.
Michigan supreme court recently
gave the following decision of Impor
tance to all trade unions: "Working
men have the right to fix a price upon
their labor and to refuse work unless
that price is obtained. Singly or in
combination, they have this right.
They may use persuasion to induce
men to join their organization or re
fuse to work except for an establish
ed wage. They may present their
cause to the public In newspapers or
circulars, in a peaceable way and
with no attempt at coercion. .If the
effect in such a case is ruin to the
employer it is damnum absque injuria,
for they have only exercised their le
gal rights."

Not a child is working in any cigar

Twenty workmen's unions of the
town of Bejar, Spain, have addressed
a circular to the presidents of Ameri
can republics, begging them to pro
vide ways and means to enable their
members to emigrate and establish
colonies wherever thev may be want
ed. It is announced that the pension
system plan had not as yet been ac
cepted by some of the brotherhoods
of the Boston & Maine system, but it
was also stated that there was no
great opposition to it. from any source
and it was believed that it would be
approved by all. The plan may go
into effect January 1, but probably
not until July 1 of next year. The
road has issued a circular to all em
ployes so as to ascertain just who will
come under the provisions of the plan
and for other general statistical infor

The United Hatters of America Is
one of the most remarkable labor or
ganizations in the country. Its offi
cers state that its success dates from
the time it adopted high dues. Every
member pays three per cent, of hi3
earnings Into the union treasury. Two
per cent, goes to the international
union, whiie one per cent, is used for
local expenses. There a.-e 9,000 mem

ca. The straw hat makers are not or
ganized to any extent, although there
are 30,000 in the United States. At a
conference recently held in Baltimore
it was agreed that the "straw "hat
ters," as they are called, will be or
ganized and united with the clotik hat
makers. . .
The bureau of labor statistics has
compiled some curious figures regard
ing the organized labor movement.
From them it appears that there are
now upwards of 8,000,000 wage work
ers who are active members ' of
unions. More than 2,000,000 reside in
the United States. Great Britain and
Germany each have about the same
number. Austria, Hungary and Italy,
the last countries to feel the effect of
the general movement, are now' mak
ing more rapid progress than the
countries wherein unionism was de
veloped much earlier. . None of these
nations has as yet as large a body of
organized workers as the state of
New York. France has been strangely
backward in" the formation of this
class of societies, and, with a popula
tion five times as large as that of New
York, has less than one-half as many
trade unionists. In New York one in
19 of the inhabitants is a member of
a trade or labor union; In England,
one in 22; in Denmark, one in 27; in
Germany, one in 31; in France, one in
50; in Austria, one in 80; in Italy, one
in 125-; In Hungary, one in 230, and in
Spain, one in 325.
The Reading railway has decided to
increase the wages of its engineers,

cent, to take effect from October 1.
' The forty-sixth annual report of the
Amalgamated Society of Carpenters
and Joiners, which has headquarters
in Manchester, England, and branches
throughout all English-speaking coun
tries, shows what a drain has been
made in the funds by the depression
in trade in Great Britain during the
past year. In the 12 months covered
by the report the society expended in
benefits the sum of $1,032,131, of
which amount $464,034 was spent for
out-of-work benefit and in sending
members to localities where they
could secure employment. Sick ben
efit was responsible for an expendi
ture of $222,092, while old age pen
sions cost the society $180,814. The
amount expended for strike pay
reached but $70,964, about an average
of one dollar a member. That the or
ganization believes in conciliation and
joint trade agreements rather than in
strikes is shown by the general sec
retary, Francis Chandler, in his sum
mary of the report.

Praises Cuticura Remedies.
"Our baby had that dreadful com
plaint, infantile Eczema, which afflict
ed him for several months, commenc

covering his whole body.: His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re
lief. We finally procured a full set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they cer
tainly saved our baby's life, for he

Artificial Silk the Latest.
Ip. Gothenburg, Sweden, or at some
place in its neighborhood, will soon
be built a lart'e factory for the man
ufacture of artificial silk for export.
A-company has receitly been organiz
ed there with a capital not to be less
than $160,800 and not to exceed $482,
400, with the purpose of building a
factory and exploiting an invention
made by Engineer R. W. Strehlenert,
of Djursholm, Sweden, for the manu
facture of vegetable silk. Excluding
experiments, this industry is new in
Sweden, and it is claimed that the silk
manufactured from nitro-cellulose by
Mr. Strehlenert's method has just as
fine an appearance and is just as
strong or durable as natural silk, or
even stronger. It is further stated
that the sk has been tested or tried
in Swedish or German cloth factories
and that very favorable reports have
been received about it. Consular Re

NERVOUS COLLAPSE
Sinking Spells, Headaches and
Rheumatism &! Yield to Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills.
Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of Kb. 416 Ce
dar street, Quincy, 111., says: "Ever
since I had nervous prostration, about
thirteen years ago, I have had periodical
spells of complete exhaustion. The doc
tor said my nerves were shattered. Any
excitement or unusual activity would
throw me into a state of lifelessness.
At the beginning my strength would
come back in a moderate tinio after each
attack, but the period of weak u ess kept
lengthening until at last I would lie
helpless as many as three hours at a
stretch. I had dizzy feelings, palpita
tion of the heart, misery after eating,
hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu
matic pains in the back and hips. The
doctor did me so little good that I gave
up his treatment, and really feared that
my case was incurable
" When I began taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills my appetite grew keen,
my food no longer distressed me, my
nerves were quieted to a degree that I
had not experienced for years and my
strength returned. The fainting spells
left me entirely after I had tised the
third box of the pills, and my friends
say that I am looking better than I have
done for the past fifteen years."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are recom
mended for diseases that come from im
poverished blood such as antenna, rheu
matism, debility and disorders of the
nerves such as neuralgia, nervous pros
tration and partial paralysis. They have
cured the most stubborn indigestion.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills agree with the
most delicate stomach, quiet all ner
vousness, stir up every organ to do its
proper work and give strength that lasts.
