In speaking of this a member of the Barbers* Union said. "There are a few men in the dif ferent unions who live up to the prin ciples set forth, but they are so few that their efforts are but slightly felt. If you doubt what I say, step into a drug store and ask why they do not keep union cigars, and they will tell you that there is no demand for them.

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies, Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be des troyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces.

Minnesota Labor News, Organlied Labor In Minneapolis Mnk lnjK it Lively All Round. MINNEAPOLIS, March 29.—The un ion -labor organizations of Minneapolis are making preparations to commence a'campaign in the interests of the un ion label as soon as spring- arrives'. All, of the central labor bodies, the Build ingTradey Council, the Trades and La bor Council, the Allied Printing Trades Council and the, Label League are en listed in the work. An effort will be made to interest every union labor man in the matter and to secure his patron age for every article made by union la bor in preference to products manufac tured by "scab" employes. Durihg the past few months the cen tral labor bodies have been issuing cir culars from time to time containing lists of the fair and unfair firms in the city. The result has been that the firms on the fair listsvhave received the bulk of the union labor patronage and the unfair firms have suffered in pro portion. This is well illustrated in the laundry business in Minneapolis. There are only two firms in the city whose workirfg force consists of union employes. Recently the Trades and Labor Council commenced issuing pamphlets containing a list of the "scab" laundries in the city. As a consequence the two union firms are doing a tremendous business, while the unfair companies are daily cutting down the number of their employes. Several of these unfair firms have re cently taken steps toward unionizing their shops. The local Cigarmakers' Union, No. has commenced a vigorous fight against cigar manufacturers who are charged with employing children and women in the manufacture of their products. A publication entitled the Minneapolis Blue Label Advocate has been published and circulated among the various unions advising the mem bers to boycott certain brands of cigars. The circular has had the effect of cut ting down the trade in these cigars very materially. There is talk of ex tending the boycott to those drug stores which handle cigars known to be made by the unfair firms. There is also a movement on foot to organize the householders of the city into what are known as Consumers' Leagues, the object of which is to in duce consumers to ask for union goods before making purchases. This plan has also met with good results, and several of the department stores have found their business so influenced by it that they have added greatly to their stocks of union made goods at the ex pense of the proscribed firms. The organization committee of the Trades and Labtor Council has com menced forming unions among indus tries, which have hitherto not been affiliated with any labor organization.' The argument used with the manufac turers who are disposed to oppose the work of the committee is that, unless they unionize their shops, organized labor will not buy their goods if the same products maiiiufactured by ynion labor in other cities can be bought in Minneapolis. Union labor is inclined to patronize home industries, but it will not do so unless the home products are made by union employes. The committee has commenced or ganizing the shirt waist makers of the city. There ^re two factories in Min neapolis and about 150 persons are em ployed. Their conditions are said to be deplorable. They work from ten to twelve hours per day and the wages range from $3 to $6 per week. The jewelry workers are also to be organ ized. There are a large number of these craftsmen in the city, and there is said to be a strong sentiment anion them toward organization. J. H. Carver, the chairman of the or ganization committee of the Trades and Labor Council, in discussing th subject, said: "The Minneapolis competitors of for eign union-made goods have got to get into line. The Label League does not invite foreign competition, but it will certainly favor it in preference to the local 'scab' shops. We have commenc ed a campaign to unionize the Minne apolis non-union manufactories and propose to give them a fair chance to avail themselves of the patronage of union labor, but if we find that they cannot be organized, we will certainly take no pains to increase their busi ness." MINNEAPOLIS \V wop THEY ARE AlilVE. ST. PAUL METAL WORKERS, WORKERS. Have IloiieN of Settling* Scale For ('omiiiK' Seaiion Without TroaJrie. MINNEAPOLIS, March 29.—The last meeting of Woodworkers' Union, No. 14, was somewhat interfered with by the fact that Smith & Wyman's factory was burning at the time of the meeting. A large number of the members were employed at this factory, and a number of them had tools to the value of from $50 to $200 in the fire, and naturally they did not atend the meeting of the union. However, there was a good attendance, and a large amount of business was transacted.' The proposed bill to do away with scieens in front of saloons was opposed by the union and it was decided to re quest the lobbyist at £5t. Paul to op pose its passage. The members feel hopeful that then" scale for the coming season will be agreed to by the employers without the necessity- of any such trouble as was had last year. The union is much stronger than ever- before, and a pros perous season is hoped for. and expected. A llAftUERS PAPER. Article* of Incorporation of a New Trade Journal Filed.

Publishing company filed articles of in»orporati©n with the secretary of' state this week, Employers Have Granted Their De. mand of Increase of Wages, ST. PAUL, March 29.—The Sheet Met al Workers Union held a meeting last Tuesday night in Assembly hall, with President Laubach .in the chair. The union decided to affiliate with the State Federation of Labor. The scale for the conning year has been amicably settled with the employers, which allows an increase in wages of 2% cents an hour oyer last year, the daily hours of work remaining at nine. A delegation, was present from the Minneapolis union for the purpose of consulting on questions of interest to the trade. The Minne apolis union has not yet fixed the scale for the coming season, as the men there are asking an increase of 2% cents an hour, and a day's Work reduced from nine to eight hours, but it is expected an adjustment will be made without any trouble resulting from their de mands. GROCERY CLERKS. Minneapolis Members Have Their Eye on a Shorter Work Day. MINNEAPOLIS, March 29.—The gro cery clerks of the city who have for several years worked together as the Grocery Clerks' Association, have ,de cided that to reap the full benefits of organization they must affiliate with other labor organizations and get into touch with the true spirit of unionism by association with their fellow work men, and consequently have taken out a charter from the International Retail Clerks Protective Association. There are about seventy-five mem bers of the union at present, and it is expected this number will be largely increased. Delegates will be sent to the Trades and Labor Council and the State Federation of Labor, the grocery clerks will take their proper place in the great army of labor. It is hoped that through the efforts of the union, with the assistance of the other unions, a movement may be started to shorten the hours of labor of the grocery clerks, many of whom are now compelled to work from early in the morning until eight and nine o'clock at night. This is a movement which should commend itself to the working men of the city, and it is certain that any effort on the part of the grocery clerks along this line will receive hearty support. HERE IS A PEACH. St. Pnnl Butchers Organized With a Membership of Over 10©. ST. PAUL, March 29.—The Meat Cut ters and Butchers' Union of St. Paul held a rousing meeting Monday night in Assembly Hall, with President John Hilzinger in the chair. Although this was only the third meeting of the un ion, there were twenty-seven initiations bringing the membership up to ninety two. The meeting nights were fixed for the first and third Tuesdays of each month. It is expected that at the next meeting there will be at least fifty new members added to the list, as it is posi tively the last meeting: at which the members can take advantage of the op portunity of becoming charter members —after that time the initiation fee will be $2.00. The hew charter was produc ed at the meeting which was more than ordinarily enthusiastic, and naturially Organizer Krieger is very much elated over his success in organizing such an influential union. MACHINISTS MAKE DEMANDS. Want Nine Hour Day and an In crease in Wages. MINNEAPOLIS, March 29.—The Ma chinists' Union has decided to make a demand for a nine hour hour day, and for a raise of thirteen per cent in wages The scale of wages and the hours of work here are not as favorable to the men as they are in many cities, and the machinists should experience no troubje in securing the raise in wages and the reduction of hours. The matltf has been carefully considered by the un ion, and a strong effort will be made to secure the desired scale. The ma chinists will receive the support of every sister union in the city, and it is not expected that the employers- will raise much objection to the proposition The union is in good shape to. enforce a demand, if necessary, but will exhaust every peaceable means of settlemen before resorting to extreme measures if for any other reason the employers should decide not to grant the increase The men are anxious to avoid trouble but are thoroughly convinced that they are only asking for what they are en titled to, and will insist that they re ceive it. j* MINNEAPOLIS METAL WORKERS. The Lnlon Will Stand by Its First Demands and E*i»c«-t to Win Ont. MINNEAPOLIS, March 29.—Sheet Metal Workers' Union has decided that they will stand pat in the request they have made from their employers, and will accept nothing less than their ori ginal. demands. The scale Cor which they ask is not an unreasonable one, and^they see no reason why they should make any change in it. It is probable that the employers will grant it, as public sentiment wojild ..hardly sustain them in refusing it. The meeting^ of the union are well attended,-and'union matters outside o£j their own. organization are receiving consideration, and they believe that to accomplish lasting good, unions must: co-operate and work together!
