LABOR WORLD
O. M. BOYLE
Delegates Casey and Gallagher In
culged in some very sensible talk last
Friday night at the Labor Council in
reference to the part organized labor
is to play in the street-cleaning prop
osition now before the city. Casey ad
monished the delegates that the action
taken in the premises by the labor
unions would be watched closely and
he advised every man holding a union
card to devote next Sunday to the
cleaning up of the city. He said fur
ther a rumor was in circulation In cer
tain quarters that the trades unions
would not be as well represented as
they should be and he earnestly advised
all delegates to return to their various
locals and rally all members to the
support of the laudable undertaking.
As for his union. Teamsters' Xo. 85. he
promised a full quota. Gallagher fol
lowed in the same strain, and although
he tips the scales around the 300 mark,
he said that he intended to wear out
one or two brooms during the day. It
was uggested that the committee in
charge be asked to furnish union-made
brooms, but it wes pointed out that this
might handicap the committee and it
was decided to work with any broom
furnished, although many delegates be
lieved they could do more work if
they were sure the brooms and shovels
'were union made. And so from all this
it can be predicted with safety that or
ganized labor will have nothing to be
ashamed of when next Sunday shall
have come and gone. , N

some time an agitation among the mil
liners in Chicago has been going on
with such an object In view. The or
ganization Is fostered by Mrs. Potter

will insure its success. There are over
3000 hatmakers in Chicago, and at the
first meeting organization was effected
and the following officers were elected:
President, Miss Helen e Mahon; vice
president, Mrs. R. G. Patterson; secre
tary, Mrs. Elinor Baker; treasurer, Mrs.
Louise Barnhill. Miss Mahon in an in
terview explained that the persons who
assisted in the manufacture of a $25
picture hat were the buyer, who gets
$3000 a year; the designer, $30 a week;
maker, $10 a week; preparer, $6 a
week; and the saleswoman, $12 a week.
The apprentices who help get nothing.
"After the designer and the buyer have
gotten in their ,^>rk," said Miss Mahon,
"the other persons named will turn out
eight to fifteen hats, at, say $25 each.
That means at least $250 a day to the
shop from the workers whose com
bined salaries are $8 a day. We wish
to be classed as artistes instead of
artisans. We wish to keep the milli
ner on the plane where she' belongs.
She is an artiste and should be paid as
such. We desire to eliminate piece
work in the shops and place all on a
union wage scale. The minimum
scale of wages will be: Makers, $10
weekly; trimdlers, $15; managers and
buyers, $25; saleswomen, $12. Those
of exceptional ability are privileged to
receive all they can in salary. A char
ter will be asked from the American
Federation of Labor."
The mass meeting last Sunday in San
Jose to assist in the defense of Moyer,
Haywood and Pettibone was a big suc
cess. Among the speakers was Moy
er's brother, who is a resident of San
Jose.
Carpenters' Union of
has decided not to work on buifdings
where the plans were drawn by a Japa
nese. At the meeting It was explained
that it had been for some time, the
practice of a Sacramento architect to
employ Japanese draughtsmen to work
out ' plans which afterward were pre
sented to the carpenters and builders
to follow. "This is not yet a general
practice of architects In Sacramento,"

1 . •" - , MERIT have been the prin-
ciples on which Cascarets were made and marketed.
We doubt if in all the world of medical science and thera-
peutic manufacture better SKILLED CHEMISTS and more
carefully selected constituents could be employed than in the
making- of Cascarets. f^mß^x'^
The RESULTS prore it.
No other Bowel Medicine oa earth has reached in history the tremendous
approbation and l patronage accorded Cascarets by the American People, a testi-
momal of GENUINE MERIT and satisfactory results, for surely no Sensible
person would buy an article more than once, unless satisfied, or recommend it
to others if not connnced of its virtues.
The sale of Cascarets at the present time Is over ONE MILLION
BOXES A MONTH, a fact that ought to convince anyone of the satisfac-
tion given to millions of our friends and patrons. ' , :
It is just this kind of example placed before you that ought to induce
you to try a little 10c box of Cascarets and be CONVINCED of its value
and effectiveness. After this harmless, inexpensive experiment you will see the
£????, %^S?S?JSI^ P°P ularit T of «» preparation as a true PERSONAL acd
FAMILY MEDICINE, and this realization will urge future use when necessary.
So we ask you to take a DIME BOX home with you. and "WHILE
YOU SLEEP THEY WILL WORK" and make you fed well and £ppy^
We back our request by our GUARANTY, and if you're not pleased your
purchase-money will be returned to you i for the asking.
Such has bt-tn our Faith in the efficacy of this pure, clean, sweet mild
harmless but forceful flttle : fragrant tablet, so easy to buy/so easy to carry'
so easy to take, so easy in its action, that we do not hesitate to "offer this
guaranty to the world, and make good on it.
Cascarets not only are the best medicine yet discovered for the treat-
ment and cure of Chronic Constipation and all its dire consequences but :
also a splendid PREVENTIVE OF DISEASE caused by bacteria and other
germs in • the Bowels. There are more ; serious troubles that have t their
origin in irregularities in the food channels than any} other causey and Cas- ;
carets by thoroughly cleaning out the stomach and intestines^and PURI-

retention of indigestible food in the passages. .
We said Cascarets 1 were and are the BEST \u25a0 B 6 WEL MEDICINE in

GIANT SOUTH PACIFIC
TORTOISE DIES AT PARK
Wastes Away in Captivity
and Breathes Last in
Conservatory
After eighteen centuries , of : life in
the : wonderful Galapagos \ Islands ;' In
the South Pacific and the brief span
of -one year of ; captivity in Golden
Gate Park, the great Testlda Vestuta,
pride and pet of the keepers of the
conservatory, died of inflammation; of
the lungs yesterday. Some of the park
employes say. he died of ja : broken
heart.
The huge tortoise,' weighing at -the
time of his capture . more than 600
pounds, wasted I away from the effects
of the extreme change in temperature
until at the time of his death he
weighed but 400 pounds. 'There was
genuine sorrow among > the attaches
of -the conservatory when |It was dis
covered that .the tortoise was breath-
Ing his last in the annex amid tropical
surroundings and to the sad dirge of
raindrops pattering upon the glass
roof of his prison, v ' .
About a year ago an expedition was
sent' out by the Academy of Science to
undertake a thorough exploration of
the Galapagos Archipelago, j situated
about 600 miles off the coast of Ecua
dor. , These ' islands are of- volcanic
origin and' are noted for the luxuriance
of their flora and fauna, particularly
for the great land tortoises which for
merly abounded and a few- of which
still remain. ;- ;. , .
The scientists brought with them
several specimens of various species of
tortoises. Only about twenty of these
survived the voyage, among them the
largest of all. The skeletons of the
dead were preserved and now form a
valuable collection of the academy.
-The giant measured five feet across
the back, but in spite of his size was
gentle and almost pathetic In mani
festations of homeslcknes for the hot
clime of the islands. He refused to
eat and waß kept alive only by forcing
a few carrots down his throat.
Only eight, the largest weighing
forty pounds, remain alive of the hun
dreds brought back by the expedition.
BAPTISTS VISIT VALLEJO
About 400 persons connected with
the San Francisco Baptist Association
went to Vallejo on the Frlsbie on
Washington's birthday. The party
visited the navy yard, also the rooms
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion in Vallejo, after which they went
to the Baptist Church, Rev. ,H. W.
Nlel pastor, and there were the guests
of the church at a supper. After' sup
per there -was a brief service of song
and addresses. Rev. •William Thomaa,
pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Oak
land, gave a stirring address on "Train
ing for Evangelism," an excellent solo
was rendered by Miss Florence Graham
of the Vallejo church, and the pro
gramme concluded with an address
by Rev. C. W. Brinsta'd, superintendent
of missions, on "Our Opportunities and
Forces." In point of numbers and" en
thusiasm this rally is claimed to have
been oife of the largest of denomina
tional gatherings of this kind on the
Pacific Coast, and every one ex
pressed himself as highly pleased
with the trip, as well as with the en^
tertainment and addresses. '/
