McCullough waa given a prominent place: One ef the first questions, often the very first which the young man must answer abea emerging from hla chrysalis stage as apprentice to the activity ot lite ae a jour neyman la, "Will I join the union?" Sub sidiary to thla question, but so closely con nected as to be almost Inseparable, are the questions, "What will the un'.on do for me?" and "What can I do for the union?" Too often the answer to the first of these Is sufficient to determine the an swer to the main query., and tho aecond, which la really of vast importance. Is never answered. During but years of Servitude, while mastering the rudiments ot his trade for no one so well knows aa the old Jour neyman how little of the real art of the craft the apprentice actually masters before he la admitted to full fellowship In the guild as a master craftsman the young man bears much of the union. It takes oa no definite term for him, yet he feela Ita In fluence on every side, i Intangible snd Itn prndera'ble, but with a decidedly palpable (xlstence, ths uniou hedges him about, and he dally fetls the effects of Its rules and regulations. Frequently, It may be, ha con ceives a repugnance for an Institution he cannot understand, but whose movements have fo marked reflex In all that surround him In the ebop. He may conceive the a ti n that tho anion la a monster of soma scrt, designed to crush out Individuality, to repres ambition, and to prevent de velopment ot personality. Thla la. In brief, tbs nctloa that many uninformed people do have of trades unions. Or, the apprentice may gain the notion that the union is eTrne scrt of a powerful organisation that la going to aecure tor him ateady employment at remuaaratlve wages, whether he deserves it or not It matters not how ha roaches either of these conclusions, tor both are wrong. In the first place, a union correctly conceived and properly constituted, and no unloa can endure unless It Is both, does not repress or circumscribe the Individual with intolerable conditions. Sometimes It may happen that ths aeifish Interest of the individual runs counter to the beet interests of the anion. In such Instances the union must, in the very nature of things, control. But no laudable endeavor or legitimate am bition or aspiration of the Individual is over hampered by membership to a trades union. Unions establish minimum ' wags scales, but never a maximum. Thay oc casionally establish a maxhnum limit to the daily task to be required of tsir bars, but these regulations ara Invariably based en the law ot exchange, so much lsbor for so much money. Such regulations are of Immense service to the employer, aa they do away avlth all uncertsinty as to expense In coaaectlea with tha Ilim of labor la hla business, and enable him to calculate jttia eetaeae.

This entire section has been covered with a cloud of fine dust since 5 a. m. and the populace la panic stricken. Fine ashes sra falling continually In a slight drizzle. Seml-darknrss Is over the sea and ships In the harbor seem to be enveloped In a cloud of smoke. Advices from Basse Terre, Island of Ouadaloupe, assert that since daybreak to day the entire island has been covered with a cloud of dust, coming from the southeast, the direction of the Island of Martinique. The population of Basse Terre is greatly alarmed. ROSEAU, Dominica, B. W. I., Aug. 31. The thick mist which enveloped Roseau yes terday wss taken as it approached for a rain storm. The dust is still falling, but during the night of August 30 the quantity of dust which fell here was greater than on any previous occasion since the first eruption of Mont Pelee. At nightfall ot the 30th a dark cone-shaped cloud, emit ting electric flashes, arose In the south, but was gradually obscured by the mist caused by the falling ashes. Rumbling noises and a few detonations were heard during the night of the 30th. The people here are quiet. No newa has yet reached here from Martinique ST. JOHN, Antigua, B. W. I., Aug. 31. Many very loud detonations were heard here from 9 p. m. last night to midnight. BASSE TERRE, 8t. Kltts, B. W. I., Aug. 31. A series of loud reports was heard here last night from 7 to o'clock. Aaother Krsptlon Reported. A severe eruption of Mont Pelee, Mar tinique, was reported to have occurred at noon, August 21. This report waa brought to Castries, Island of St. Lucia, by officers ot ths French steamship Dahome. This eruption was followed by total darkness five miles away from the volcano. A dis patch received from St. Thomas, August 2$, said that between 10 In the morning and 3 In the afternoon ot August 35, clouds of dust were seen In the direction of Mont Pelee from the Island ot Dominica. Deto nations were heard and there were light showera ot volcanic dust on the Island. The following message was received from Dominica, Tuesday, the 2Cth: "Since 3 p. m. Tuesday prolonged rumbling noises In quick succession have been heard from the southward. There Is every Indication that Mont Pelee is In violent eruption." A dispatch from Paris, dated August 28, said the latest dispatches received at the ministry of the colonies from Fort De France, Island of Martinique, were dated Mouudy, August 25. TUey made no mention of the reported eruptions of Mont Pelee. The Paris dispatch said also that the cables to Martinique, both north and south, con tinued to be Interrupted. Efforts made to communicate by cable direct with the Island of Martinique have proved unsuccessful. Telegraphlo commu nication with that Island from New York la still Interrupted. Veteraa Hack Driver Dies. Mike Roche, who for years had been a hack driver and has had his stand before Foley's saloon on Douglas street, died yes terday evening at 7 o'clock in Louis Bett'a livery stable on Capitol avenue, from heart failure, brought on by dropsy. The remains have been taken to the parlors of Bralley A Dorrance. Roche, who has a room In the stable, lay down at 3 o'clock In the afternoon, saying that he would take a nap. When called In the evening he did not respond and an Investigation developed the fact he was In a very low condition. Medical assistance wss summoned, but the old driver only lived a few minutes after the arrival of the doctor. DIED. ZUCK Mrs. a. W., on Sunday, August il, at the home of her brother, W. 8. Har rell, 23d and J streets, South Omaha. Funeral from the residence on Monday, September 1, at 5 p. m., Rev. Dr. Wheeler officiating. Interment at Clarlnda, la. the Individual reason out of many that might be cited In support of the proposition. In no sense do these regulations interfere with the growth ot the individual. In wage acalea a clause, always present, reads: "Provided, That nothing in this contract shall be In terpreted to prevent a euperior workman from receiving a higher rate of wages." This In itself la an incentive to the In dividual, for he has before him always the fact that If he become uncommonly skill ful aa a craftsman, he will gain more money aa well as a higher position In the esteem' ot his fellow workmen and hla employer. What doea tha union do for the indi vidual? In the very beginning It is a guaranty of his integrity aa a workman. When he is accepted as a member It is after the union haa been satisfied that ha Is sufficiently versed lo the affairs ot his trade to meet the requirements of the craft, to do a fair day'a work In a workmanlike way for a fair day'a wage. In guaranteeing his integrity as a workman the union doee not accept responsibility for his eonduot as a man, but tha Influence, of tbe union Is Inevitably for good in thla direction. In order to maintain hie standing with hla union tho member must deal fairly and honestly with his fellow members, and this naturally leads him to deal fairly and honestly with his fellow men. In this way the trades union has aided In elevating the standard of citizenship and ths resultant moral tone of the oommunlty. If the union accomplished no other end, this la sufficient to entitle it to commendation and respect, not only from its members, bu from every body. But the union doea mora for the Individual. It makes the cause of one of Its members the cause of all. It fights ths battle of the Individual because tbe battle of the Individual Is tbe battls of the union. In this regard the responsibil ity Is divided, but rests with equal weight on all. Unions ara often accused of be ing unreasonable, tyrannical and oppres sive, charges which are almost invariably unfounded, snd generally msde by persons who have either been made to feel the power of ths union or have not thoroughly examined Into tbe merits of the matter which calls tor the condemnation. Only rarely does a union come down with Its full force on an Individual workman. When It does it merely exercises the highest function of oraarnlsed society, thst of pro tecting Itself from a discovered enemy. Trades unions ara usually patient and long Suffering, conservative In dealings wltb em ployers, rendering faithfully all they prom ise and exacting in return only what they agreed upon. In effect, a trades unloa Is a labor tiust iu whlub lis members pool what they have to sell, and undertake to maintain a stanJard selling price therefor. It Is not claimed that the trades union ss It Is at present has reached the limit of perfection. For that matter, nothing mun dane or temporal baa. But the claim la made, and I believe wltb reason, that ths trades unloa of today le fully abreast of the la spite of the Inconvenience of sitting and In many Instances standing in the hot sun, a large crowd listened for more than an hour yesterday afternoon to Eugene V. Debs' address on "Labor Problem." As waa te be expected, Mr. Deba dealt with hla subject from a socialistic stand point and his principal attentloa was given to the existing relations between capital and labor. Speaking of politics, he said: "The political parties are ail alike. I wish I could find a man some time who la clover enough or sufficiently well Informed, or even a good enough liar, to chow me some real difference betweea ths republican aad the democratic parties, aa far as their re lation to the working people Is concerned. The republican party Is dominated by tbs big capitalists and the democratic party by the little capitalists that can't get In among the big fellows, or find It more to their Interest not to do so, and the result, as tar as tho worklngman Is concerned. Is the same. Both are devoted to the Inter ests of wage slavery. Don't you know that if you were earning $10 a day. It would cost you $11 to stay on earth? The republican party is for Imperialism and ex pansion, and the democratic party pro claims that policy to be an outrage. If you are on one side or the other, I would like to have you give me a reason for it. A party is merely an expression of the economic principles of the class It rep resents. The republican party Is for ex pansion because It has goods to aell and wanta a market for them; the democratic party has nothing to aell and doea not need the market, and for that reason op poses expansion and declares tha present policy of the United States to be an out rage upon the Filipinos. The more Im perialism and expansion we have the sooner the big fellows will get through with the little ones. "Competition Is war, and the big capital ists are coming more and more to avoid it. Every country on earth has a big stand ing army and is equipped for wsr, but they all agree that war la cruel and they will not Indulge in it. In ten years there will be no competition and It will cost you more to raise a bushel of wheat than you can get for it. Rockefeller Is a living example of the fact that competition does not pay and that consolidation does pay. Competi tion la going, and going fast." VISITING LETTER CARRIERS Delegates from St. Paal, Minneapolis aad Dalnth Spcad Issssy la Omaha. A delegation of letter carriers from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth, enroute to the national convention which today meets at Denver, were the guests of the local association Sunday.

There le ao old allegorical picture of a girl scared at a grasshopper, but In the act of heedlessly treading on a snake. This Is paralleled by the man who apends a large sum of money building a cyclone cellar, but neglects to provide his family with a bottle of Chamberlain's Collo, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy ae a aafeguard against bowel complaints, whose victims outnumber those of the cyclone a hundred to one. This rem edy is everywhere recognised as the most prompt and reliable medicine In use for these dlseseee. Some Thoughts Appro priate for Labor Day. times, progressing aa rapidly and as ra tionally aa are any of the other component elements of what we term civilization. In the ranks of organised labor are to be found the brainy men, the men who think, of the several crsfts whose handiwork la the very cornerstone of organised eoclety. To be given a good atanding in this honorable company la not the least ot what a union can do for an Individual.. Wbat can tho individual do for tbe union? Much of the answer to this question de ponds on the Individual, for It is essentially a personal one. Ha caa advance the cause of his union materially by always remem bering that he la a member, and that as such member he cannot alone assume the full responsibility ot bis actions, but that a portion at least of credit or censure, as bis conduct Is praise or blameworthy, must and does fall on the union. If he does re member this, be will be a better union man, and eoneequently a better citizen. By keeping constantly In mind bla responsibil ity to the unloa for the benefits and priv ileges he derives from membership, lie will be aided in the discharge of his duty to his fellow craftsmen and through them to eo clety. For few men are so utterly, hope lessly selfish that they can go on and on, enjoying tbe advantages that accrue through the union of men of any sort, and never give a thought to tbe source from whence those advantages flow. In the development of tha Individual tbe growth of the union Is fostered. No man Is so humble or so ob scure but his personal conduct haa aome effect cn those around him. Once a man. who ached If the world would miss him., was told to stick bis finger into a lake, with draw It and look for the hole. True, there le no hole left, but the sticking of that finger Into the lake act partlclea of water Into motion, and even that alight disturb ance waa felt in tbe farthest part of that body of water. So It Is wltb the individual. He may not amount to any more than finger thrust Into a lake, but even that alight commotion has its effect and la felt in aome degree by the whole. Let every union man feel that it is on tbe Individual that the strength aad standing of the union depends, and that as the Individual Is a man of character and force, eo tbe union will have credit and Influence. Thle la the best way to make return for the benefits de rived by the Individual through the exist ence of the union. Individual responsibility does not end with mere payment of dues cr with obedience to regulations any more than good cltlsenehlp consists solely In pay- meat of taxes and observance of the laws Good union men must take aa active part in the affairs of the union, giving to all the benefit of their thought and experience. No one mau haa ever yet done enough for so clety to fully discharge his obligations, and ao ona unloa man bas ever fully repaid the union for tha benefits and advantages he baa derived from membership. .
