Nearly all of the Richmond barber shops 'have been "unionized" for the past five years, since the establishment of the Local Union No. 562 of the Journeymen Barbers of America, ,on November 2, 1903. At that time most of the shops came in line and the barbers became members. A mem,ber of Local No. 562 has submitted the following reasons why all men working at the barber business should belong to a local of the J. B. I. U. 'of A.: "1. Because It aims to Increase wages and decrease the hours of laor. "2. Because it abolishes Sunday Work. "3. Because it brines men Into cloBer touch with one another in sentiment and action. "4. Because it teaches that an injury to one is the concern of all. "5. Because the International fjnion pays sick and death benefits to 4ts members, which is a feature that commends Itself to each and every thoughtful man. "6. Because it is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor."

WORK WITH THE BRICKLAYERS GOOD Better Things Are Yet Expected. Work with the local bricklayers is much better than for some time past, and still better things are expected in the near future. NEFF & N USB A Mi POPULAR SHOE MERCHANTS. Today Neff and Nusbaum can point with pride to the fact that they have one of the finest retail shoe stores in Eastern Indiana. Their establishment is located at the corner of Seventh-and Main , streets and is a bee hive of industry.

The firm has one of the largest stock assortments to be found inthis . part of the state and it does a land office business. A large staff of clerks assure the many patrons of the Btore prompt and efficient service. :The Neff and Nusbaum store is a 'reat-shoe center for the working men and hundreds of union made shoes are rold there each week.

CHARLES GROSS. President.

GEORGE HOUSIER. Financial Secretary. Kansas City, Mo., is the headquarters of six international organizations of organized labor, having a combined membership of nearly 200,000. The city of Vancouver, B. C, now uses toe union label on its printing. The "fair wage" clause is inserted in the provincial government contracts. Largely through the efforts of the women's clubs of Florida there is a new child labor law there which prohibits the employment of children under twelve years of aee. Conditions of organized labor in Wyoming compares favorably with other parts of the country. The different international organizers ;ire well represented. The industrial centers are well organized, hut there are quite a number of unorganized workers at outlying places, whose wagon are very low. Many unions have in the last year been experimenting in the matter of dues. In several instances unions which have always strictly adhered to the high clue rule have reduced temporarily their initiation fees in an endeavor to decide for themselves Just to what extent a high initiation fee hampers growth. From a report on British trade unions recently issued, it is shown that this form of labor organization is steadily increasing in membership and strength. Returns wiv received for 1906 from 645 unions, with a membership of 1,719,031. an increase of 151,512 over the report of the previous year. Their income for the same period was approximately $1:5,500,000, an increase of $760,000. Their expenditures aggregated $ll,400,0t, or $1,100,000 less than the year previous. At the present time the funds of these unions total about $29,000,000. Grand Presidtnt Frank J. McNulty, of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, urges the creation of a large defense fund, one so large as to be useful in cases of differences between employers and employes. He also advocates the centralizing of sick and death benefit funds, lie holds that if such funds were paid from the .treasury of the international body, instead of being paid by the individual i unions, better results would obtain. and that it would then be possible to raise death benefits from $100 to $500 and sick and disability benefits from $5 to $10 a veek. An experiment is being tried in Paris looking to the abolition of the sweatshop conditions surrounding many of the French working people. The experiment consists of the establishment of a workship apartment building, where workmen may labor and live under the most modern and hygienic conditions at a minimum cost. The building contains fortyeight workshops and apartments, and the price a year for these combinations is from $100 to $14?. In the basement are baths and on the seventh floor arrangements for washing and drying the family linen. Electric power is supplied at a minimum cost from a central point. Any workman using the lights for machinery can install themselves in the building. In fact, twelve families have already done so, finding the new, clean workrooms a most agreeable and healthful substitute for their former dark and ill-ventilated shops. The subject of a State industrial college is being considered in Massachusetts. It is purposed to establish the institute in Boston or vicinity, and that it shall maintain both day and evening classes. The main object of such a school is to develop men for the lower and middle supervisory positions. t The . last reports presented to the Gas Workers' Union were to the effect that all the members of the jurisdiction, which includes the unions in San Francisco, Cal., San Jose, Oakland and Sacramento, are at work, and . that this craft has been particularly fortunate in having work for the

The new wage agreement hetween the cotton nianufact ureis at Fall River, Mass., and the Textile Council, which will lie in I'orcc until next November, became effective last month. I'nder the agreement the 25,0011 operatives accept ;i wage reduction of 17.01 per cent. The cut swells the number of cotton operatives in New England whose WHges have been reduced this spring to about 1 70.000. Labor is to have a newspaper system covering the entire country. A syndicate has been formed and the enterprise capitalized, it is i-aid, to the extent of issuing a paper in the cities of New York. Philadelphia, Washington. Chicago. St. Louis, Denver and San Francisco. Publication will begin September 1, and the policy will be one of ultra, conservation, the object Vicing to restrain tiie labor movement, from merging- with the more radical socialistic element that has been making great inroads on the membership of the unions composing the skilled crafts. A league of carpenters known as the Gran Liga do Carpinteros has been organized in the City of Mexico for purposes of mutual protection. The bylaws of the association provide that all members work for the general welfare of the b-ague, to obtain full remuneration for their work and to prevent the members from being unfairly treated. The association aims at temperance and morality among the workmen, and will start a campaign for shorter hours of work. An important feature in the bylaws is that strong opposition is to be made to any difference in salary between foreign and native workmen. France has moved in the direction of recognizing the right of workers incapacitated by age to a reasonable sustenance for life. The measure adopted is a compromise between the view that the worker is entitled to a living in his old age and the more individualistic view that he is paid in full for his services from day to day and has no other claim on the community. The fund from which the pensions are to bo paid will be made up by a contribution of 2 per cent, of the wages of the workers and an equal percentage from their employers, the balance to be made good by the public. The pensions will be $72 per annum when the system is in operation. BIRDS' TONGUES. Why the Parrot Is Able to Imitate Human Speech. One of the government naturalists at Washington has recently gathered some fresh information concerning the tongues of birds. Many people suppose that woodpeckers use their sharp pointed tongues as darts with which to transfix, their prey, it is true that the woodpecker, like the humming bird, can dart out its tongue with astonishing rapidity and I that its mouth is furnished with an elaborate mechanism for this purpose, yet. according to the authority mentioned, investigation shows that the object of this swift motion is only to catch the prey, not to pierce it For the purpose of holding the captured victim tlK" woodpecker's tougue is furnished with a sticky secretion. Consider! ug its powers of imitating speech, it is nut surprising to learn that the parrot's tongue resembles that of man more closely than any other bird's. It is not because the parrot is more Intelligent than the other birds, but because its tongue is better suited for articulation than theirs, that it is able to amuse us with its mimicry. The humming bird's tongue is in some respects the most remarkable of all. It is double nearly from end to end, so that the little bird is able to grasp its insect prey with its tongue much as if its month was furnished with a pair of lingers. Chicago Rec-e?d-IIera&.

He may live in a tenement, but he is the backbone of this republic. He is the most highly skilled artisan in the world. It is because of this that we are the most prosperous nation on the

face of the globe. . America learned the lesson earlier than any other nation, that no people can advance unless they take with them the common, everyday man. Furthermore, America learned the lesson sooner than any other nation, that the prosperity of the whole people depends upon the prosperity of the workingman. He has not received all that to which he is entitled. Any man would be a fool to say that the present social system is ideal, in any land. But the labor movement la rapidly bringing in the day when the workingman shall come to his own. The American workingman is an independent, free-acting citizen. Any man, be he labor leader or politician, who says that he carries in his vest pocket the vote of the American working man is a liar. If. he really believes it. he is a fool. When the American workingman does follow a leader, it is because that leader has made good or because the principles which he is advocating appeal to the workingman's good sense. The American workingman claims the right to protest against any condition which he believes is against the interest of the people. He fought long for religious democracy. He fought hard for political democracy. He is going to win the fight for industrial democracy. The American workingman has so long breathed the air of a democracy, that he hates patronage of paternalism. While he appreciates a clean shop and pure air. he despises the splutter some folks are making about social welfare work. All he asks is a square deal, then he will not need those benevolent enterprises. The American workingman is not a lawless revolutionist. Anarchy of the bomb-throwing type does not appeal to him. He is demanding that the women folks shall receive equal pay for equal work. He is the champion of little children in his fight against child labor. The American workingman is helping to Americanize the immigrant. No other institution is doing more in this respect than American labor unions. He is breaking down antagonisms iat separate men of different religious creeds. He is obliterating the color line. He is fighting for universal peace. Rev. Charles Stelzle. F. H. ENGELBERr HOME OF THE PALM CIGAR. Did you ever hear of the Palm cigar? If you haven't been told of it you ought to buy one for yourself and friends at the F. H. Engelbert store, 1102 Main street. It is a union made article and one that always pleases the smoker. 0MER G. WHELM A business that has flourished in Richmond, notwithstanding the financial flurry or panic, is that owned and conducted by Mr. Omer G. Whelan, wholesale and. retail dealer in grain, hay, mill feed and seeds, at 33 South 6th street. Mr. Whelan is very liberal and public spirited and never lets an opportunity pass to boost Richmond and is known as a friend of the working classes. You are always sure of courteous treatment and fair prices when dealing with him. Mexican Lottery Tickets. Nearly $100,000 is spent in the City of Mexico every week In lottery tickets, and in the same period about $70,000 is paid back in premiums. On the weeks immediately preceding the big drawings the sale, of course, mounts up to great sums as, for instance, when the !?200,000 drawings are held there are 20.000 tickets at $40 each sold on the streets, and practically every ticket is disposed of, most of them during the last two weeks before the drawing. But as a general proposition, on an average, $15,000 a day is spent by the people of the City of Mexico on the lotteries. Mexican Herald. The Open Window. Children brought up with open windows appear Indeed to be about fifteen times more likely to contract adenoids than those who sleep with the windows shut on cold and damp nights, or at least than those who sleep with closed windows throughout the greater part of the year.

One of the strongest labor organiza

tions in the city is the Richmond Bartenders' League Xo. ,"14, of the Bartenders" International League of America. This union has a member sh'p of sixty and was organized here August 0, 1107. by Clements Butts state organizer. It is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and its objects are similar to the objects of the great national society. They are enumerate, 1 under four heads. namely: 1. Mutual protection. 2. Relief and benefit to its members and their moral, social and intellect ual improvement. i!. Secure employment for its mem bers 4. To procure libraries and reading rooms where members may meet in social intercourse and create an act ive interest in each other's welfare. The preamble to the constitution sets forth at greater length these same ideas. It is as follows: to estiVDiisn ana maintain an equitable scale of wages, to defend our rights and advance our interests as a craft, to create an authority whose seals shall constitute a certificate of character, intelligence and skil!, to encourage the principle and practice of conciliation and arbitration in the j settlement, of differences between em ployer and employes, to exert all hon orable efforts for the attainment of better conditions of labor, and to in culcate lessons of judgment and good will among men, the undersigned Bar tenders' League of Richmond do enact, declare and establish the following constitution and by-laws for their govj ernment. The International Bartenders' League pays a death benefit sum of i $50, and the local Union, being a memI her of the League, its members will receive this benefit. As soon as the or ganization gets upon its feet, financially, sick benefits will be paid out of a fund established locally. During the life of the Union, the officers have been as follows: j Elected August 0, 1907: Tim 'O'Brien, president; Gilmofe Smith, vice-president ; Harry Seefioth. chapilain; John Daudt, financial secretary; !

The Bartenders' Union holds regular meetings on the first and third Sundavs of each month. R. P. VV1IISLER By having always treated his patrons in the most satisfactory' manner and giving them the very best service possible. Mr. Whisler has gained a standing and- patronage of which he may be justly proud. He is a wholesale and retail dealer in gravel roofing, iron, tin and felt roofing and all kinds of roof paints. He enjoys the conf.dence and esteem of a large number of friends and patrons, and bears the reputation of fairness in all his dealings with the public. The high standard of his goods is well known, and none better can be found any place for the price. We are glad to give him special mention in this sheet and trust you will always bear him in mind. He is located at 1026 Main street. B. KREUIEIER, TAILOR The B. Kreimeier merchant tailoring establishment, located at 423 Main street, is one of the oldest tailoring shops in the city. It has always enjoyed splendid patronage, especially among the working class. The Kreimeier suit fits and wears well is the proud boast of this concern. If once you patronize Kreimeier you will continue to do so. GEO. L. KLINE EMPORIUM One of the most popular places in the city is the George L. Klein Grand sample room and billiard and pool hall. This establishment has always had the record of being conducted In an orderly, business like manner and it is in every sense a "working man's club." The pool and billiard tables are excellent and the best brands of liquors are always in stock. Thomas E. Keogh, international organizer for the Brotherhood of Cement Workers of the United States and Canada has gone to Reno, Nev., to organize a union of the craft at that place.

There are many strong banks in Indiana, but none whose credit stands higher at home and abroad than the First National Bank of Richmond. For this reason the Ismk has prospered. Its officers have always been willing to extent to its patrons every courtesy consistent with safe and legitimate banking, but have never allowed themselves to be attracted further by the glitter and glamour of get -rich-quick schemes that have always and will continue to hold irresistible charms for the less conservative. As a result of this policy, the recent panic, now passing away, which all know came on so quickly that there was no time for preparation, found the First National Bank ready to meet the emergency. There was in the bank vaults the full amount of cash to meet the required demands, and more. This institution has always been public spirited to a marked degree, and has always done everything in its power to further the interests of Richmond. The officers are men of the highest standing, both socially and in a business way. and are well deserving of the trust and confidence placed in them by their numerous depositors. They are as follows: OFFICERS ALBERT D. GAYLE President JOHN L. RUPE Vice President S. E. SWAYNE Vice President F. M. TAYLOR Cashier ALTON T. HALE Asst. Cashier

It is a popular assembly place for working men. AD Very "Civii." In certain sections of the country there are much favored words which are required to do duty with a wide variety of meanings. Such is the word "smart" among Yankees and up along the Labrador shore the word "civil." The following conversatior between two natives was overheard by a traveler: "We are goin to have lots of dirt today," said one, glancing at the sky. "Nnw. It'll be civil," replied his companion. "How did you get on with the captain?" "Oh, he got clTil to hunting deer by and by. When he went out he didn't know nothing, but he got civilized." "Did you go down the Ketchee?" "Naw. It's too civil for him. He) wanted lots of rapids, so we went J down the Boomer. Them's about as civil rapids as I want to see." Youth's Companion. Adhaciv Eggs of Fishes. Among the fishes which produce adhesive eggs are the little black bead minnow (Plmephales prom el as) and the goldfish. The male blackhead deposits the fecundated eggs singly upon the underside of leaves of water plants and watches them unceasingly until hatched. The eggs of the goldfish are deposited singly upon the weeds and mosses in a similar manner by the male fish. The eggs of the yellow perch ( are field together in narrow strips or ribbons of a glutinous character. Adhesive eggs of other species, as the black bass, sunfish, catfishes, etc., are deposited in masses in shallow nests or depressions on the bottom, and still other species deposit their spawn in , variously shaped adhesive masses upon water plants, roots and submerged objects. Papyrus. The papyrus of ancient times was! made from the papyrus plant The interior of the stalk of the plant after; the rind had been removed was cut into thin slips in the direction of their J length, and, these being laid on a fiat 1 surface in succession, similar slices; were placed orer them at right angles, j and, their surfaces being cemented to- j gether by a sort of glue and subjected I to the proper degree of pressure and well dried, the papyrus was complete.
