I'arls, Fiance.—Here is a strange
doparture in the struggle between cap-
ital and labor in France: Retail trade
has practically elected to stand on
the side of labor. The Retailers' fed-
eration, which numbers 325,000 mem-
bers, announces Its alliance with the
National Federation of Workmen,
which numbers 188,000 members. The
# motto of the amalgamation is to be
conciliation and arbitration.

lars relating to miners, hoeworkors or
agricultural laborers.
Chicago—Notices were posted in

offices of the city that a reduction in
H.he wages of telegraph operators has

change in tho hours of labor, under
the new agreement, to tako effect
January 1.
Pittsburg.—Because of- the numer-
ous instances In which wealthy men
have cast aside their wives, tho work-
Ingmen of Pittsburg will try to have
the divorce laws made more stringent.
On behalf of several trades unions
Robert H. Heath, a miner, has an-
nounced his candidacy for state rep-
resentative on the Republican ticket
on the platform of "no divorces."
Chicago.—Trainmen and conductors
on all the railroads running east of
this city have voted against seeking a
revision of wage schedules at this
time. The original idea of tho train-
men and conductors was to bring

OFFICIAL NOTICE.
Choctaw City, Jan. 3, 190S.
To the Members of F. 15. & C. 11.
of A., especially in Oklahoma coun
ty:
Our constitution provides that local
and county unions shall elect heir
officers for this year, in this month.
I advise you to announce it one
meeting in advance, and try to get
all the members to attend. Select
something especially to discuss two
weeks In advance of meeting, so each
member can be prepared to talk on
subject. Use forethought in select-
ing officers who are willing, able
and will sacrifice time when needed
to lead you to success this year,
but do your part. I advise you to
elect your delegates for the County
Union at the first local meeting;
elect one delegate at large for six
months or one year, and give them
credentials to that effect. We don t
know just what day the county met-
ing will be held now, but if the state
officers don't name the day soon, the
county officers will, and let you
know later.
I have appointed H. W. Jones of
Oklahoma City, route 9, and Brother
Newton of Choctaw, a member of
Kansas local, as assistan organizers
in this county, so if any local needs
any help, write to any of us, but
remember that we are not rich and
I the laborer is worthy of his hire. 1
advise any local secretary that has
money in the treasury to nay the
expenses of a speaker, and his local
members are lagging behind, to
; send for a speaker and call a meet-

The wonderful new model, Oliver
No. 5, has taken the maraet by storm.
Its reception by the public has ex-
ceeded In enthusiasm anything we
had dared to anticipate.
Employers and stenographers alike
hav,e welcomed it as the one machine
that answers the multiplied needs
of the hour.
The cry is for Speed! Speed!
Speed I—and the Oliver responds.
The demand for Durability is filled
by the sturdy, steel-clad Oliver.
To a call for a writing machine
that wil do many things and do each
of them equally well, the Oliver
answers with its unexampled versa-
tility.
—its visible writing saves the
strain on eye and brain.
—Its legibility lends beauty to its
work. The letters that bear the
Oliver imprint are the letters that
seem to speak.
Oliver No. 5 fairly bristles with
uow and exclusive time-and-money-
aavlng features. We have space to
mention only a few of the more Im-
portant ones.
—Disappearing Indicator shows ex-
act printing point.
—Balance Shifting Mechanism
saves operative effort.
—Line Ruling Device is fine for
tabulated work.
—Double Release dc bles conven-
ience.
-Non-Vibrating Base Insures sta-
bility. Yet with all of these added
Improvements, we have still further
simplified the Oliver—by fusing
brains with metal.
Oliver No. 5 is a dream come true
—the dream of Thomas Oliver cry-
stallized into this wonderful mechan-
ism of shining steel that embodies
every possible requirement of a per-
fect writing machine.
