Mr. Lund camo to Fargo, North* Dalcota. from Sweden; when he was about six years old, and . was. .raised in.: the Red River Valley. ,. HO, remembers the Custer * massacre - and the first and second Riel, rebel- **• lions, both vividly. Mr. Lund was ro- , ^ Bldent'in Montana at.the.time of the f flrst'Rlol rebellion;, and at the*,time of the tragedy In the Little-Big Horn Val- y ley he was .living at a point. ,only_ fifty ' . miles, away, along the Yellowstone.

I think both sides are determined to hold out,until matters are adjusted lh a tsatisfactory • manner.' Still," it ls plain; that neither the men nor' the managers, of the" mines can afford to continue the strike" any longer than Is absolutely necessary.1 The men cannot stand .being., out' of; employment very long without suffering great hardship, and the ■ mine operators cannot stand a long strike, as the mines are yet In the expensive -development period.

Loowe & Co., of Dinibury, Conn., against the United Hatters of _ North America, reversing a judgment of $232,240,given by the lower court. The article states that this decision "blasts' the hopes of the American Anti-Boycott Association and the- plaintiffs of recovering and enforcing judgment against members of labor organizations. In commenting on the decision, Alton B. Parker, former., candidate for President of the United Stales; and' counsel for'the Hatters'-Union in this case, says, "It is a very important and helpful decision for organized labor. Wlii.'o the suit was brought by Loewe & Co. and doubtless for their benefit, still the-real prosecutors,-as appears from the records, was the American Anti- Boycott Association. "That Association promised the plaintiff to' furnish lawyers and pay expenses. ' ', , , "There were more than nine' thou- • _ sand members of -the Hatters' Union anil only a little more than two hundred of them aro defendants. Of these more than lS(7were not .members of the union which went on strike and had no knowledge either of the origi-i or the-details of tho controversy, ' "The basis of selection 'was a property' one solely. .If* a member* of. 'some Hatters' Union could be found who owned his little home or possessed a bank", account, or both, he was made" defendant and his property attached. . The. end .aimed* at \v,as far beyond tlie recovery' in this; action.* *- 'A--recovery and enforcement of Ju_dgm_int_a_zai]is1__rn_embgrs. of l_ab_oi*_or_ accumulation of a fund for support'of those who feel that the wages offered nre bqlow the market price is one of the legitimate objects of such an or- ganziatlon. They have the right to appoint officers, who shall advise them as to the course taken by them in their relation to their employers. The officers thoy appoint, or any other person to whom they choose to'listen may advise them as to the proper course \o be taken by them in regard to ther employment, or if they choose to,repose such authority in .any one* may order them on pain of expulsion from their union, peeacefully to leave the employ, of their employer because any of the terms of their employment are unsatisfactory. ."It has also been Jield that the right to join into unions has -been raised to the dignity of a constitutional right by Stale constitutional provisions, that .ill men. are born free and equal and have certain natural, essential, and inalienable rights, among which is the right, of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property.' " r .llartin, Law of Labor Unions, p. 11, Pickett 4s. Walsh, 192 Mass.,' 572.) But aside from* constitutional or statutory provision, the better.view is that the right of laborers to organize- into unions,is an exercise*of the com- mon-ljiw, right,of every citizen to pursue his calling, whether labor or business, as he in his judgment lhink3 fit, ami the law not only permits but encourages combinations of this character (Southern R.

That hope of the American Anti-Boycott Association and of the plaintiff is blasted by this decision." In 1902 a'strike was called by the United Hatters of North America ag- ainst"T.oewo & Co., hat manufacturers of Danhury, Conn,, and the fight between the union,and that concern was waged with more or less bitterness for nnumber of yenrs. In 1.003 Loe- wo & Co. brought suit against something like two hundred members of tho -United Hnll ors of North America, choosing those who owned ,property, charging them with violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Law by 'conspiracy" In restraint of Interstate Commerce. The Further on in the opinion in. the last cited case It ls said that they (the members of the association) "Could have gone upon strike -without offering any explanation until the contractors should liave come In distress to the officers of the association asking ihe reason for the strike. Then after explanation, the non-members would have been discharged and the men of defendant association sent back to work. Instead of taking that course; they cliose to inform the contractors* of their determination and the reason for it. It is' the giving of this information,* a simple notification of their determination, which it was right and proper and reasonable to give, that has been characterized as .'tin-eats' by," the special term and which has led to iio inconsiderable amount of misunderstanding since.' -" In the case of Commonwealth vs. Hunt (4 Metcalf, 111) it was recognizeef that a man, or .a number of men, for ainy reason,'or for no reason, could refuse-to work for a given employer or with a given concern: Chief Justice Shaw ,said: ,. _. "Suppose a class of workmen, impressed with the manifold evils of in- temperauc.* should agree with each other not to work vin a shop in which ardent spirit was furnished.or not'to work in a shop with anyone who used II, or riot to work for an employer who' should, after notice, employ a journeyman who habitually used it. The consequence might be the same. * A -\york- maiuwho; should.still persist in the use of ai-dent. spirits would find it more difficult to get employment;-a master employing such an one might, at times experience inconvenience in his work, in losing the,service of skilful, but in- Minard's.

It is open lo all orders of men' who desire'to accomplish some lawful purpose through the greater strength and effectiveness which organization offers over individual effort. * In an age when vast com: binatioris of capital are common and, in, consequence,..competition for labor is an absolute necessity if tho wage- earner Is. to- obtain-.Ills fair share' in the distribution ofllho.'earnlngs which aro the joint product of capital, and labor. -As was said- by Attorney- General Olney: "To-day, the' mass of wngo earners can no* longer'ho "dealt with'by cnpltnl-as so ninny'Isolated unite.' ,l'ho time ls past when tho Individual workman is called -upon .to caso was tried In Uio United States* pit. his feeble strength' against tho Circuit Court for tho District of Connecticut, and tho trlnl judge directed tho jury,to return n verdict for tho plnlnUff ngalnst nil of the dofondnnts, might of organized capital," ' (Plntt vs. Ii.

It has l.ecn held (hat what oue trader mny do in respect, to competition, a body or set of traders can lawfully do. ~" In a leading Kiigllsh case Involving this question, Mogul S. S. Go.-ys.''McGregor US.I2) A. C, 25, Lord .Morris so declared-,thc-rule and said: , "A body of traders, whose motive object is to promote their own trade can combine to acquire and thereby in so far to injure the trade of competitors, provided they do no more than is incident to such motive object and use no unlawful means," ' If the logic' of this decisionals admitted, but it is claimed that \yhlle that is the proper rule as between tradesmen in active competition, it has no relation to a "diverting o trade" from a manufacturer by striking laborers, then we answer that the- United Hatters' of North America, to which organization the individual defendants belong, owns, controls and has registered in many States their trade-mark or-unr ion label. ' As we have, said,'this trade mark* or label signifies that the hat in ' which, it is" found was .manufactured by members of the Unite. Hatters of North America; - We" contend that * - r tlinti_>_1_nttpr-c__lTidividiiaU.v_and_cnUe_lt.-. nn.ee of the'purpose which makes the act illegal." - . • ' * ,The defendants, by and through their."membership iii the .United Hatters of North America, have an interest and ownership' in Hh. trade-mark' or label of that organization. The wider the use and the greater, tbe demand for hats bearingthatolabel, thc greater the prosperity of these defendants and those associated.; with;* thein in their 'organization, because 'of' the greater demand for. the services of union hatters. Biit beyond the question of the trade-mark or label it should be remembered that laborers engaged in at least the same character of labor, as are all of tliese defendants,- although for different employers and at different localities, are directly' interested yi the general establishment of wages,-hours chasing the products of any employers which shall not fall below a certain standard, and hence .are'entitled by concerted action tp' refrain from pur- chrasing the products" of aiiy employers not complying with such regulations. To a less- degree-but'with equal certainty, "all-laborers are* likewise interested in the general maintenance of such conditions and are therefore entitled by concerted action .to'refrain withholding of patronage from thcern- ployers not complying -with such re- _rnl._H.n-iB. _n_. having the same condition to the bestowal which-'" they see fit. The* wholesale dealers" were free to comply -with' the conditions or not, as they saw fit. . If they valued ■ the patronage of the members of the association more than that of the non-members, they .would', doubtless comply, otherwise they., would not. . . . What a person .may lawfully do, a number of person!; may unite with him in doing without rendering"themselves liable to the charge of conspiracy, provided the means employed be not u'n lawful. Tho object of the members of (he association was to free themselves from tho competition* of those not members, which, as we have .seen,,is not unlawful. The means-, taken to accomplish that object were the agreement , ainong themselves nol to deal with, wholes-ale dealers who sold to those not members of the associations and the sending of notices to that end to" the wholesalers. ' This, as we have also seen, was npt unlawful."- . *. In tho'case of Cote vs. Murphy, (lii!) Pa., 1201, slipru, it was said: ' •* • "The members eif the associations refused to furnish supplies (o those engaged in the construction of any buildings where the contractor had conceded* the,, eight-hour" day. This,'* as individual dealers, they had a clear right to do.' Tliey could sell and deliver their material to whom they pleased: . . 7 . To have said they would in-* flict bodily'harm on other dealers, or vilify them in the newspapers, or bring on them social ostracism,' or ■ similar declarations, these'tlie law would have deemed threats,, for- they may deter a'man of ordinary courage from the prosecution of, his business in a way which accords with liis own notions, but to say-,' and even,that is inferential from'the correspondence, that„if they, continued to sell to plaintiff, the members of the association would not buy from them, is,not a'threat- It does not interfere with the dealers free* choice; it may have, prompted him to a somewhat sordid calculation; he may have considered which custom was most profitable and have acted accordingly, but this'was not such coercion and threats, as constituted the acts of the combination, unlawful." "Again, in the case of Macaulcy vs. Tierney,;;]!) R. I„ 255), supra, the court said: "The object of the members.of the Men the custom ■ ■" - *-.. ■*.-.,* ,_., . .- wearing Fit-Reform s went to are now The reason is simple and logical.

American towns which'- contains the results of investigations made -in this country by the'-British Board of .Trade through special agents,: shown* that while the American worker. gets on the average a bigger wage than.U.e English worker, he is. little the gainer foi* it, as the cost of living" here Is much higher. **•■".'*_••' The subject covered by the investigation conducted by the British Board of Trade were wages, hours of work, housing and .rent, food, prices and family expenditures. ■_, Summarizing the results * of the Investigation, G. R. Askwith, in the pre; face to the report says: ». . "The weekly hours of labor were found to be 11 per cent shorter In the building trades in the United States than in'England and Wales, ,7 per cent shorter.in'the printing trades, but 6 per ' cent longer in the engineer, ng. trades, the ratio shown by all tho occupations in those three trades groups together being' 96' :■ 100. * *'.'- As regards'1;rents the American workman pays on the whole a" little more than twice as much as the English workman. for the same amount of house accommodation, the actual ration being 207 : 1,00; the minimum of the predominate range of rents for the United States towns as a wholo exceeding by from,50 to„77 per cent the maximum of the range for, towns In England and Wales for dwellings; containing the same number of,rooms. "The retail prices of food obtained, by weighing the •ascertained predominant* prices according to lho consumption show by the British 'Burl- gets, show, when allowance is made for the increase ---.which took place in this country between Octobor, 1905, and February, ]909', a' ratio of ir.,S : 100 for the United States and England and Wales respectively. "Thus, according to this ratio thc money earnings of the workers in Dw. United States' are rather mora than 21/. times as,great.'as in> England and Wales,, and,, since there" is.no proof that employment is more Intormillent In the United States than in this country, a margin is available, even when York were, eager volunteers to-take,.a week's holiday., trip to Chicago, enjoy everything, that' "was,,, passed around and. ride back home in style, befitting the occasion., -• * '- ' • It will • never,' be known- jusf how many, thousands,of good hard.dollars were spent', by the Chicago garment manufaclurers-to - entertain their New York "free and independents."»biit it is reckoned.,that many thpusand-3 were put iri circulation.- . "-- ' ',:' The* Chicago strike of garment workers indicates 'that certain angles of the strike-breaking industry are becoming popular, and'if the enemies of labor are bound tq "blow themselves," who can blame union men for helping them to burn their money? Cleveland Citizen, H EXHIBITIO ■ OF THE EMPIRE About* 10,000 Men Are at Work -paring the Buildings and „ Grounds Pre- Tlte working mutts, for many a day have laid the steel and forked the hay; gone down in mine and "glory hole," and bahged'the drill and dug the coal; have mostly lived on'pork and beans; worn overalls and slop-made- jeans, and,'barring an-occasional.riot, they have been humble, good and quiet. The bosses,oii the other hand, don't condescend to till the land.' -They do not work or toil', at all, but simply live upon their "gall," and stuff their ugly, useless hides with what .the working mutt provides. , They smoke the* black and fine cigar, they travel off to lands afar; 'there's-is a life of ease and leisure, "glad rags" and Mumin and "games , of pleasure." Now, let it' be remarked that I, am not a "highly moral" guy; I blame*not any class or man, that for themselves get all they can; so long as the fool working stiffs are well content to take the .biffs—receive th'e, whacks7and smacks and cracks, wher the spring chicken gets the axe—why, then, of course',* I do not blame the boss, who hands them out the same.' But some day—or so, I surmise— the horny handed will get wise, will use liis,-brains and come Lo see that it is .he;* and only he; the "common one" whom goods produce that In the world is any use. Tho writer of this h(b')umble rhyme is longing for the gladsome timo when every, parasite and' "plute" will gei the large and heavy boot;- will have to leave their hordes of loot and, with the toiler iii pursuit,"to save their hides will, one and all, turn trail'to reach the timbers tall.—HIBERNICUS. The Coronation Exhibition at the White City at Shepherd's Bush; promises to surpass any of its predecessors, as it'will show for the first tin. not only the _ products and manufactures of each country making up'the British Empire, but will show them as far as possible ' in their own natural surroundings. How many races and nations' will be 'represented no one knows yet, but an effort is being made to havesa thoroughly complete representation. Saxon and Celt, Asiatic and African, men and women from the frozen regions'and thetorrid zoije will be seen at'the exhibition. .It will be a new. Babel, but one with a harmonious purpose, that of giving pleasure to its thousands of visitors. ■ -- . * In the Indian section, duplicates "of some of the most magnificent palaces of the Dependency will be constructed, such as the Palace at Delhi, built by Shah Jehan, and ' the Taj, Mahul, at Agra, Delhi, which is to be the scene of the Coronation Durbar, and' is famous alike in theA literature of India aud bf Europe. About 10,000 men are at work in the exhibition buildings'and grounds, including 50 clever Italian* modellers of figures of all kinds, human and animal, graceful and fantastic. . One of the most intt'resting of tlie reproductions will be that of Cave of Elephants, which,'situated on a small island in the harbor of Bombay, contains some extraordinary mythological figures and shrines of gods. A s.ries of great waterfalls will-be constructed, representing those,of, Niagara,'th-e Zambesi, and"Waiora.'In New Zealand, and over these 3,000,000 gallons of water will flow every day.

The evidence was so over-whelming that Mr. Bowen ventured to indulge 11 a little irony, and remarked on the thoughtfulness of the-prisoner in re ndving his shoes, thus disturbing nobody, and in selecting only solid silv ,-r articles from the plate basket;.so that the family had enough forks aad spoons left for breakfast. ■ Tho jury we're so Impressed with' theB.e extenuating circumstances that they'acqultted„the prisoner.

If the operation is performed at home, the child should be kept in bed for ' twenty-four hours and should bo kept warm and quiet for a fow days, If tne operation .is done* at a, hospital,-tho parent-should Insist on the child being kept in .until next day, and not, ns is so often done, turned,out as soon.aa the oporation is over.' * - Whatever" may bo the cause of adenoids it Is cer,taf;i that their prevention lies in attention to the general health.
