Replying to accusations of strike
violence. Editor Sexton of the United
Mine Workers' Union Journal, after
calling attention to a j.able of deaths
of G04 miners during the past two
years because of the "notorious, flag-
rr and wilful violation or the law"
by the coal mine owners, says, to pre-
vent strike violence there should be
"a cold, calm, merciless enforcement
of the law—impartial law—wherein
the millionaire and the mendicant
will meet swift and certain punish-
ment for their infractions."
A long step toward peace in the
building industry of Chicago for the
coming year was taken when contrac-
tors and union bricklayers adjusted
their differences and signed agree-
ments until March 1, 1906. The dead-
lock between the .employers and the
men was broken when the former of
feied to give the masons a half holi-
day on Saturday during nine months

ceive 60 and 62% cents an hour, the
wage scale in effect last year.
The quarterly bulletin of the depart-
ment of labor in the sfate of New
York, just issued, shows that the de-
ctease in union membership from
April 1 to Oct. 1 was less than 1 per
cent. The metal trades fell off about
10 per cent, but the loss was nearly
counterbalanced by the increase in
tiansportation trades. The union mem-
bership in the various cities is given
in the bulletin as follows: At the end
of September the bureau of labor sta-
tistics had 2,505 labor unions on its
records, a decrease of fifty-one since
^iarch 31. The aggregate membership
of all unions was 391,681, a decline of
8 051, or 2 per cent, since March. New
York city was credited with 672 or-
ganizations and 255,062 members;
Buffalo, 183 unions and 33,625 mem-
bers; Rochester, 98 unions and 12,255
members, a loss of 8-3 per cent; Al-
bany, 82 unions and 7,994 members, a
loss of 6 per cent; Syracuse, 79 unions
and 7,796 members, a loss of 5.4 per
cent; Schenectady, 60 unions and 6,302
members; Troy, 55 "unions and'5',255
members, a loss of 2.2 per cent.
A good example of the stay at home
union man who takes no interest in
the affairs of his organization is seen
in the effort to unite the three national
organizations of carpenters in Great
Britain. The plan has been agitateft
for years, and some time ago it was
submitted to a referendum vote of the
members of each association. Voting
papers were mailed to all members
with a request that they record their
vote and return the papers to their re-
spective branch secretaries. The mem-
bership of the three associations is as
follows: Amalgamated Society of Car-
penters, 63,170 in the British isles;
Associated Carpenters and Joiners,
8,324; General Union of Carpenters,
6,231. The trades union act under
which all are registered requires that
two-thirds of the members must vote
in the affirmative before an amalga-
mation can be brought about. The
amalgamated society voted 24,990 for
the proposition and 1,743 against
36,437 not taking enough Interest in
the matter to vote at all. The asso-
ciated society voted 4,988 for and
1,401 against, and the general unjon
voted 2,290 for and 1,285 aeainst.
Thus, while an overwhelming majority
showed they were in favor of amalga-
mation, the p^n falls through because
of the stay at home man who doesn't
caie. Still we hear a great deal about
the Intelligence of the rank and file.

Dr. William Henry, an English phy-

lived he would have been buried

THE TRICKS.
Coffee Plays on Some.
It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is somo
tlme3 humiliating to think of after
wards.
"When I was a young girl I was a
lover of coffee but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and I did
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink It again ai he
did not think it was the coffee caused
the troubles.
"So I commenced It again and con-
tinued about 6 months until my atom
ach commenced acting bad and chok-
ing as if I had swallowed something
the size of an egg. One doctor said
it was neuralgia and indigestion.
"One day I took a drive with my
husband three miles In the country
and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner.
I thought sure I would die before I got
back to town to a doctor. I was drawn-
double in the buggy and when my
husband hitched the horse to get me
out' into the doctor's office, misery
came up In my throat and seemed
to Shut my breath off entirely, then
left all in a flash and went to my
heart. The doctor pronounced it ner-
vous heart trouble and when I got
home I was so weak I could not sit
up.
"My husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof-
fee but I said: 'Take that back, dear,
I will never drink another cup of cof-
fee if you gave me everything you are
worth, for it Is just killing me.' Ha
and the others laughed at me and
said:
" 'The Idea of coffee killing any
body.'
" 'Well,' I said, 'It Is nothing else
but coffee that is doing it.'
"In the grocery one day my hus-
band was persuaded to buy a box ol
Postum which he brought home and
1 made it for dinner and we both
thought how goffd it was but said
nothing to the hired men and they
thought they had drunk coffee until
we laughed and told them. Well w«
kept on with Postum and It was no!
long before the color came back to
my cheeks and I got stout and felt
as good as I ever did in my life. I
have no more stomach trouble and I
know I owe it all to Postum In place
of coffee.
"My husband has gained good health
on Postum, as well as baby and I, and
we ail think nothing is too good to say
about it." Name given by Postum-
