Commercial Arithmetic DIRECT ELECTION OF Elects First Member of United States Senate By Vote of the People. Is Not Direct Election As Has Been Talked Of, But An swers Purpose. Washington, D. C„ Feb. 28.—The first United States Senator ever elected by direct vote of the people has arrived in Washington and he is the subject of much curiosity. His name is Jona than Bourne, Jr., and he comes from Oregon. "Yes," said Senator-elect Bourne, when he was asked about his election, "I find wherever I go there Is great curiosity about this ney scheme by which senators are elected by the peo ple. I have been up in New England, and even in Canada. And everywhere I go there ^ire the same questions." "Does the Oregon law really put the matter directly up to the people?" Mr. Bourne was asked. "Directly, and in just as binding a way as in the presidential election. Our law works, I am here as a testi monial of Its working powers. I am here in spite of the opposition of the bosses and the Influence which ordinar ily control the bosses. "Oregon is making great strides to ward the America^ ideal of govern ment of the people and as directly as possible by the people. "The state has adopted the initiative and referendum In both state and lo cal government and In such form that legislative bodies are dependent on the people, while the people are indepen dent of the superior to legislative bodies in lawmaking, nominations and elections. "Laws proposed by the initiative pe tition and enacted by the people with out an independent of action by the legislature, enforcement of their will in the election of United States sena tors, and the grant of practically abso lute home rule in cities and towns in all their purly municipal affairs, are the latest, and I hope and believe by no means the last, successful efforts of the people In their determination to absolutely and dircetly govern our country and to make every officer their servant in fact as well as in theory." TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES They Are the Plagues of the *«»»n Tea Gardens. Prom the London Chronicle: Every animal and plant has its/(para site, and from this general law, it seems, the tea plant is not exempt. Two Insects are described as spend ing their lives in tea drinking. They are the plague of the Assam tea gard ens and are known as the tea bug and tea mite. The mites spend their entire lives on the tea plant and are never known to attack any other leaf. They live in families and societies on the up per side of the full grown leaf and spin a delicate Web for a shelter. They then puncture the leaves and pump out the liquid4 In the plant veins. They seem to become very dainty in their tastes, for a sprinkling of muddy water over their floor and tea table is the only remedy known to sheck their ravages. Even this is not always effectual. The tea bug is still more destruc tive and Is evidently possessed of an tea, since It tiways attacks those of a mild and delicate flavor. Such as afford harsh and ras$lng liquors are almost entirely free from Its attacks. ILIER GBNTniCT UWS Biff Chicago Firm is Assessed $4,000 For Bringing Foreign Workmen to America. Finn Has Strike On With The holders Union—Aliens Brought To Break Strike. Chicago, 111., Feb. 28.—The Allis Chalmers company, Ghicago, was Wed nesday found guilty in the United States district oourt of importing four workmen in violation of the alien con tract labor laws and was fined $4,000. The suit was instituted by the govern ment and the verdict was returned by a jury in Judge Landis' court, Chicago, after twenty minutes' deliberation. It is said to be the first time In the history of Chicago that an em ployer has been, fined under the labor laws. Notice of an appeal was given by Attorney K. M. Knapp, counsel for the company. Four English iron moulders testified that they were employed at their trade in Manchester, England, and that they were hired by an agent of the company and given a contract to work for one year in the Montreal branch of the concern. When they arrived in the Caradian oity they were told there was no work for them, but that they could find employment in the Milwaukee plant. They were given transportation and advice how to elude the government officials at Niagra when entering this country. When they arrived in Chicago they were met by J. M. Morey, agent of the National Founders association and escorted to the plant of the Allis-Cha mers company at Washtenaw avenue and West Twelfth street. On learning that the moulders at the plant were on strike the men refused to work, and asked the Iron Moulders' Urion for as sistance. The suit against the com pany was the result.. The company denied that the men were brought here under contract, claiming that they sought work as individuals. The government showed that the president of the Canadian branch was a director in the Chicago company and that Morey of the Na tional Founders' Association was the employment agent for the concern. In instructing the jurors Judge Landis cautioned them against letting their private views on labor difficul ties influence them in reaching a ver dict. Ane assessed One of The Last Of the Old Inter national Trade Unions Joins With A. F. of L. By Rerefendum Vote of Members Throughout Nation the Stone Cutters Federate. Washington, D. C.. Feb. 28.—The Journeymen Stone Cutters' Association has by a referendum vote decided to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. A charter will be issued at the next meeting of the executive council. The stone cutters in the past have re frained from joining the family of trade unions in the American Federa tion of Labor, partly because of dis putes on jurisdiction with the granite cutters, marble workers and others. At the convention in Minneapolis last November, representatives of all the unions interester held a conference and agreed on jurisdiction. This has resulted in the recent favorable action of the soft stone sutters to affiliate. A conference will be held some time this month in New York between represen tatives of all the unions interested* when working agreements recognizing the jurisdiction of each trade will be signed. It means the addition of several thousands of members to the A. F. of L., and leaves but two international unions of any consequence outside the fold. These unions are the bricklayers and the plasterers, and it is expected that the former shortly will be inside the fold, although the proposition has been voted down on several occasions.

EX-PRINTER PREDICTS END OF LONG FIGHT. An ex-member of Duluth Typo graphical union said to the Labor World the other day: "I have been watching with considerable interest the fight between the Typos and the Ty po thetae and am pleased to see that outside of the victory they have ob tained over the" "Teapot" they have cause to congratulate themselves in having convinced them that the princi ple of eight hours was not practi cally admitted in the signing of the scale for-such hours with the Press men's Union.

Toronto Health. Officer Takes Sides With Gii^ls—Bell Com pany Is Unpopular. Toronto, Can., Feb. 28.—The young women employes of the Bell Telephone company of Toronto, have been forced to declare open warfare against the corporation. They are on strike against conditions which the health authorities of the city say are a "distinct menace to health." One operator who has been long in the service of the company stated that there were occasions when the girls worked from eight in the morning to 10 at night with no relief period. At meal hourse operators were hended ten or fifteen cents for a lunch and given ten minutes in which to eat it. The girls receive no overtime, but when ab sent of docked for the time. Girls Faint. "Sometimes a girl's mouth becomes very dry and she can hardly speak," said a striker. "On one occasion a girl asked for relief to get a drink of water about 1 o'clock, and none came until 5." "Once a girl fainted and when they carried her down stairs, the two loung es were filled with girls who had faint ed before her." said another worker. No Lookers for Girl*. "There are lockers for use, but there are not enough, and a good many of the girls have to pile their clothes on the window sills. There is no hot water at present, because the source of supply went wrong about a month ago. The girls have to line up five minu tes before the working hour, and If any are a minute late, they hear about it." The action of the girls may result in a general strike of operators against the Bell Telephone company In the Do minion of Canada and the United states. Linemen to Strike. From present indications the To ronto linemen will strike sympathetic ally to force a concession of this action because of the company's persistent re fusal to arbitrate with the operators. Dr. Shephard, medical health officer of Toronto said: "The company is demanding vastly too much it is an unreasonable amount of strain to ask of girls under those conditions. It is a distinct men ace to the healthfulness of the woman who engage in such work here or any where else. It is not so much a matter of wages as it is of physical endur ance." The girls at Toronton start at $18 a month and in two years are ad vanced to $20. Twenty dollars a month is paid girls classed as "experts." Every operator is supposed to have charge of 100 phones, but experts can handle more. Contemplate National*Strike. It will be remembered that only a few months ago the operators of the Chicago central exchange instituted a strike against this same corporation, The Bey operators at MJemphis, Tenn., are now on strike. The Toronto girls claim to be in communication with the Bell operators in various parts of the United States and Canada, and say the burden of their correspondence will eventuate in to a universal strike against this com pany. $8,500 REWARD FOR TAYLOR KIDNAPERS Take Republican Politician to Ken tucky From Indiana and Get Big Reward. 7 Girard, Kan,, Feb. 28.—The Appeal to Reason's $1,000 offer for the kid naping of ex-Gov.

SHIER FINDS E OF GOLD Member of Longshoremen's Union Claimed to Have Struck it Lucky on Homestead. Joseph Gauther Brings Down Some Rich Samples and Is Pleased With Assays. Joseph Gauthier, a well known mem ber of the longshoremen's union claims to have a rich strike of gold upon his homestead, on the Duluth & Iron Range road. The somples, which were brought back by Mr. Gauthier showed an assay of $105 gold and silver per ton. Gauthier located on the property, which is about twenty miles north east pf Skldoo, several years ago, and has for some time been prospecting for Iron ore. Considerable float ore was found but not enough to pay to work it for the iron. During the last winter Gauthier and several com panions have made a thorough in vestigation of the claim, and have succeeded in locating what they be-, lieve is a valuable gold vein. After his return with bis samples, last Friday. Mr. Gauthier took them to Charles 1 F. Joyce, chemist and assayer, at Duluth, and yesterday the latter announced'that the samples would run $105 per ton. He stated that there was some silver, but that the most of it was gold. Mr. Joyce said this morning that such a find was an unusual one for Northern Minnesota,, although finds of the same nature had been made in the Rainy Lake regioh. In case the strike of gold is found to be extensive on Mr. Gauthier's claim, and in the vicinity a company will soon be formed to work the mine. Several business men of Duluth have already offered to furnish money for mining purposes If the gold and silver can be located in any quantity. BY MITE IBS Alarming Situation Presents Itself to Mine Owners in Case of a Strike. Independent Military Organiza tions of Miners May Cause Conflict in Future. New Tork, Feb. 28.—By far the most alarming situation ever arising in the coal region of Pennsylvania has been brought to light with the discovery that forty military companies of union miners have been organised and are in a position to combat with the soldiery of the state and national governments. They are armed with 45-caltbre rifles, and several of them are provided with uniforms of the same pattern and color as worn by the infantry of the regular army. The operators fear that a strike would precipitate acivll war, With or ganized labor, uniformed and armed arrayed against the military arm of the Keystone state. War Department Interested. Capt. Henry H. Whitney of the coast artillery, who was one of the regular army inspectors sent into Pennsylvania last year to inspect the national guard organizations, said: "The Ninth and Thirteenth infantry P. N. 'G., located in the home of union ism, are confronted by the intense an tagonism of the independent military and so-called patriotic organizations there now being some thirty-seven of these companies in the Echanton Wilkesbarre district. "They are gradually and quietly ac quiring arms and their active hastility to the national guards constitute a serious menace to the state authority and to law and order." The arming of the men without the governor's permission is contrary to the law of the state, .but many of the foreign organizations are chartered by the courts strid other minewerkers are arraying themselves under the guise of social organisations. ran DIVORCE PORTION.
