THE union label stands for more
wages and shorter hcurs. Don'
you think that you should see that
the union label is on evervthing
you buy? If you do, good wages
and shorter hours will result in
every trade and calling.
A meeting will be called by the
committee appointed by the Trades
Council to organize a Building
Trades Council in the near future
All of the building trades are asked
to be at the meeting and take part
to bring about such an organization
With a building trades council in
this city working harmoniously
with all th* affiliated trades much
good can be accomplished. There
should be no holding back by the
organizations interested and a unit
ed effort should be made to bring
about the consolidation.

UNIONIZE
five More Bakeries In
Past Week.
International
(REGISTERED.)
Through the efforts of the Local
Baker's Union assisted by organ
izer Joseph Smith, five more bak
eries have shown their willingness
to fight the non-union outside bread
by signing up with the Bakers
Local Union, No. 81. This brings
the list of un.on bakeries up to ten
with bright prospects of more com
ing in before the end of the week
There is no doubt that the outside
bread agencies have made inroads
on the business of the local home
bakeries, but now that the loca
baker bosses have shown a spirit to
help themselves retain their trade
it is up to the Trades Unionists of
Hamilton to show the baker bosses
that we are with them in their
fight against this outside non union
br ad. Since the label is agfcin on
the bread these ou.side agencies are
beginning to feel the sting of the
fight and will make all kinds of
propositions to the trade to retain
their grip The fight is on and the
Bakers Unions backed up by every
other union affiliated with the
operative Trades and Labor Coun
cil are going to do everything they
can to make Hamilson a good city
for members of the bakers orgai
ization. We need the help and as
sistance of every union card holdtr

Nov.
14 —One of
the •unique incidents occnrirg in
the trac'ion strike in this city was
that thirty patrolmen turned in
their badges rather than ride oil
street cars and protect strike break
ers The Mayor defended a po­
licemen who had been ordered to
turn in his badge for refusing to
board a car to aid strike breakers
the Mayor ordering the policemen
to return to patrol duty. "I took
this stand because I do not believe
it is the *uty of the policemen to
run these cars. It is their duty to
protect lives and property and nM
to operate or assis* in operating
cars of the street car company."
The Mayor is reported as asserting
that if charges are brought against
policemen for refusing to »ide on
cars he would defend them before
the trial board. While there are
several hundred strike breakers in
the car barns, yet the operation of
the lines is practically at a stand
still, and the organized traction
men are confident that they will
eventually be accorded the right to
a hearing before the company in
the adjustment ©F wages and other
conditions.
"NAMING A TOWN.
Concord Was Selected After Fifty
Years of Controversy.
The nauie of Concord. N. H.. was
given to the town after a controversy
which lasted fifty years. In 1725 the
land now wilhiu Its bounds was grant
ed to the colonists under the name of
Peacock by the coW»uy of Massachu
setts: This claim was disputed by the
eolony of New Hampshire, which two
years later granted this same land to
the township of Bow. 1733 Massachu
setts Incorporated Peacock into a
township named Iiuuiford, and for
more than forty years a fierce legal
controversy was carried on. No agree
ment could be reached, and the mat
ter was taken to the authorities In
England, but even then there was no
satisfactory nor permanent settlement
In the face of an evident leaning
toward the claims of Bow, both in
England and in America, the little
band of colonists tn liumford fought
on valiantly, and in 1705 an act of
Incorporation was granted to the In
habitants of liumford. This was still
highly unsatisfactory because It only
made them a parish In the town of
fiow.
The controversy continued until 1774,
when it was finally settled and an
Independent town was formed under
the name of Concord. It was due to
the devotion of the little band of
settlers to their cause and the ,Unity
which existed among them that the
independent Incorporation of the town
was finally obtained, and it was emi
nently fitting that the concord which
existed between them during the strug
gle of nearly fifty years should be
memorialized in their town's name.

DODGED THE WASPS.
8imple Trick by Which the Woodsmen
Escaped a Stinging.
A man on his first trip into the wilds
and marshes of an unknown country
with the United States drainage engi
neers was struck by a unique method
they have to escape from the attack
of wasps and hornets. The country
traversed is generally covered witb
thick undergrowth, and a path has to
be cut through this all along the line.
So when a big wasp nest is reached
there is very little warning, some
times the azmen cutting into a big one
with their machetes
The person relating this experience
was some sixty feet behind the ax
men with the instrument when all
at once the two axmen dropped in
their tracks as if they had been struck
by a thunderbolt. The man behind
and the two chainmen did likewise.
While they were lying prone on the
grass and wet marsh they heajd what
sounded like bullets zooing over their
beads. One after the other they came
with angry zips. When things had
quieted down a bit work was con
tinued, and the new man found that
to escape from wasps or hornets the
thing to do was to drop instanter.
The insects seem to be so mad that
they fly in straight lines along a
level and do not have time to hunt
around for you.
It is said that hornets are not so
prone to follow this rule aa wasps,
but the wasps never vary. Men have
been stung to death by hornets, and
horses and mules likewise^—Chicago
Record-Herald.
A Record In Fleteherizing.
If they learn the art of chewing
even people whose food expense is only
threepence a day can make their meals
last a long time. A chewer, according
to dietetic experts, is one who chews
all things so long as they have any
taste left in them. Gladstone, we are
told, used to take thirty-two bites to
every mouthful of food. The modern
school of cbewers would regard this
as dangerously rapid eating. "1 have
tried chewing conscientiously." writes
Mr. Eustace Miles. "A banana has
cost 800 bites, a small mouthful of
bread and cheese 240 bites, a greedy
mouthful of biscuit (while I was walk'
lng on a Yorkshire moor) over 1,000
bites. It still seemed to taste about as
much as at first, but 1 knew that taste
by then, so I swallowed."—London

THREE WONDERFUL MIRRORS.
Used In Place of a Telescope In Mount
Wilson Observatory.
From Los Angeles by tioiley car and
burro back up through the pine forests
one reaches the Wilson observatory.
No dome or glgautic telescope greets
the visitor when he gains the summit.
A huge Noah's ark of canvas destroys
all preconceived ideas of what an ob
servatory should look like, and within
three wonderful mirrors take the place
of the great tubular telescope of other
observatories.
The observatory building Is con
structed of canvas, the sides being set
In the form of tiers of steeply overlap
ping eaves. This arrangement is cal
culated to allow for perfect ventilation
and Is re-enforced by a vertical wall
of canvas, which can be raised or low
ered at will to obtain au even tempera
ture.
The peculiar arrangement of mirrors
that replaces the familiar telescope Is
the center around which all Interest in
the observatory revolves. These mir
rors are constructed at the Yerltes ol)
servatory and are the finest products
of the optician's manufacturing skill
The enlargirtir mirror, which is sup
ported by a pier of stone at the farther
end of the building, is of concave
glass four Inches thick, and the scien
tists tell us it is of twenty-four inch
aperture by sixty foot focus.
The glass is polished ever so often
witb jewelers' rouge upon pads of
chamois skin and is burnished every
week or ten days. In order to remove
all possible dust. In addition a gal
vanized cover Is kept over It when it
is not in use.—Christian Herald.
Frolics of Ivan the Terrible.

placidly say his prayers while watch

would compel parents to slay their

"the amiable monarch would dispatch
him with his owu bauds, shrieking
with laughter at so excellent a joke."
lu one of his lighter moods of frolic
he commanded the citizens of Moscow
to "provide for him a measure full of

WAGNER AND THE CABBY.
A Bit of Comedy That Won a Good Tip
From the Composer.
A story of Wagner known to very
few is brought to the light bv the Vos
ulsche Zeltung. When the composer
was in a really merry mood, the right
mood for story telling, he used to say
that, being In Berlin on a very hot
summer's day and finding himself in
the Donhoffsplatz. he summoned one
of the first class droshkies that were
still fairly numerous at that time and
told the driver where to go. His des
tination was at the very farthest point
of a district within which only the
lowest fare could be demanded.
It struck Wagner immediately that
his driver was taking a very affecting
leave of one of his fellows, as though
he were starting on a life or death
f»urney. "Goodby. William." he said:
"we shan't see each other again for
a long time."
After the carriage bad rattled on for
a good while It came suddenly to a
standstill. .The driver got down from
his box on the right hand side, opened
the carriage door and bunged It to
again then be went round to the left
side and repeated the performance,
climbed up on to his box and resumed
the Journey. At the end of the drive
Wagner asked him what this dumb
crambo show meant. The driver, with
a sly look, made answer: "I Just want
ed to bamboozle my old nag. He would
never have believed that the whole
drive was for a minimum fare and
would have refused to go on. But by
banging the doors I got him to imagine
that one fare had got out and another
got in."
Wagner laughed heartily over this
explanation, and the driver, in spite of
his greed, over which the composer
made very merry in his letters, real
ized the handsome tip on which In* had
been speculating.- Loudon Standard.
GREECE HAD THE RECALL
Only In the Old Days the System Was
Called "Ostracism."
In the palmy days of the Greek re
publics. many centuries ago. ns histo
rians tell us, when a man rose to
such a height of power or affluence
that he became a possible menace to
the state, the citizens took a vote on
his case as an "undesirable." This
was sent to the senate, and. if the
vote was sufficiently large and repre
sentative, that body passed resolu
tion in which the too distinguished cit
izen was invited, in polite diplomatic
terms, to take a few years of retire
ment abroad—lu other words, he was
officially exiled for the good of the
state
This was "ostracism." so called from
the fact, it Is explained, that the vot
ing cltizeus wrote their names on oys
ter shells, and it was instituted as a
measure of security to the common
wealth. Any citizen «t great wealth
or influence or who had a large per
sonal following which might, in an
emergency, be used to the detriment
of the state was liable to receive this
distinguished mark of public consid
eration It was a kind of primitive
"recall," which had the advantage of
being equally applicable to "ins" and
"outs."
Those early Greeks were wonderful
fellows, who knew how to deal with
knotty problems of their day. which
doubtless Included grafting and other
human peculiarities not unknown In
our own time If an election did not
suit them or if any man swelled too
far above his fellows there was al
ways the leveling oyster as a whole

As for paper fasteners, a touring

the wash. You are playing a dude
part. say. with naught but a flannel
shirt to go with your dress coat. Take

TREATING A DOG BITE.
Aot Promptly and There Is Little Dan*
ger of Hydrophobia.
If you should be bitten by u dog sus
pected of rabies don't get scared, but
act promptly.
Immediately apply a tourniquet above
the wound. No tourniquet being at
hand, use a handkerchief or necktie,
twisting it tightly with a stick.
The poison should then be sucked
uUt and the wound cauterized as soon
as possible. If it is believed the dog
was mad the Pasteur treatment should
be resorted to. Only two-tenths of 1
per cent of those who take this treat
ment develop hydrophobia.
Although the germ of rabies has not
been demonstrated, it is generally con
ceded the disease has a specific germ.
Rabies uever occurs in the human
spontaneously, but always by Inocula
tion. It is also moderately
vwell
dem­
onstrated that dogs and other animals
likevvlse contract the disease through
inoculation. Many more male than
female dogs go mad. The reason given
for this is that male dogs^ fight among
themselves, but a male seldom bites a
female. The proportion Is seven mad
males to one mad female. Contrary
to popular belief, rabies Is more com
mon in a temperate zone than in the
tropics or the arctic region and in
spring and fall than in summer and
winter.
The only sure preventive thus far
found for rabies is thorough muzzling,
which is another proof that the dis
ease has its origin In inoculation.
There is a disease called lyssophobia
w^ich closely resembles hydrophobia
and is brought on by nervous dread.
It has been contended by some that
there Is really no difference between
these diseases and that hydrophobia is
imaginary. This claim is refuted by
the fact that animals and very young
children, knowing neither imagination,
dread or fear, do succumb to a disease

ROUGH MARRIAGE KNOTS.
Pledge* Under Which They Were Tied
In Medieval Times.
The matrimonial contract today is a
thousand li«ies more polite than it was
In the middle uges. it has lost the en
gaging frankness of its medieval orig
inals.
In the good old days when the bride
was taken "for fairer, for fouler, for
better, for worse," and promised "to
be buxoiu and bonny" to her husband,
her father gave the bridegroom one of
the bride's shoes as a token of the
transfer of authority. The bride was
made (o feel the change by a blow on
the head duly administered with the
shoe. Uow much more significant and
eloquent a use of the article than our
"refined" custom of throwing it after
the carriage! The-husband took oath
to treat his wife\ well, in failure of
which she might leave him. As a point
of honor, however, he was allowed to
"bestow on his wife and apprentices
moderate castlgation."
An old Welsh law lays it down that
three blows with a broomstick "on any
part of the person except the head is a
fair allowance." while another provides
that the stick "be not longer than the
husband's arm nor thicker than bis
middle finger.''
The bride, however, had her privi
leges. In certain countries It was her
'•cepted right the morning after the
•eddlng day to ask for any sura of
.noney or any estate that she pleased,
nd her husband could not In houor
refuse. A man had to be pretty sure
his bride's "intentions" to run such
a risk
These old time marriages were often
i ard driven bargains, which unblush
iugly displayed a good deal of unlovely
1 uman selfishness. Yet the rough
knots that were tied a thousand years
(go held faster than many of the be
r'.b boned and bejeweled bonds we so
Kenteely adjust today. New York

Lobster Twine.
A man who had wondered what lob
ster twine was found the answer very
simple. It is a fine quality, stout twine
an eighth of an Inch in diameter, made
of manila hemp and originally intend
ed for making the netted part of lob
Bter pots. Lobster twine lias come
also to be used on board vessels, both
sail aud steam, for serving ropes, for
whipping ropes, Including ropes even
of wire, and for various other purposes
for which a stout, durable twine of
this size might prove useful. There Is
probably more lobster twine used now
on vessels than for the purpose for
which it was first made.
Puzzled Him.
Mark Twain and his peculiarities
were being discussed by an English
class in a ^certain high school. One
youthful orator had very eloquently
described Mark's personal appearance
and had laid unlisual stress on the au
