One of the more recent tricks of Perry S. Heath was an attempt to hoodwink the labor unions by publishing labor news in the Telegram. The little afternoon handbill gave notice that It wanted to embrace all the workingmen. It was devoted to the cause of labor, and only asked for the poor privilege of showing Its devotion. The scheme was too transparent. The whole Idea was to humbug the labor uuions until workingmen might be induced to subscribe for the paper. It was then the intention of the foxy Mr. Heath to begin the publication of false information, which Is his stock in trade. Ilut the game did not work. The Federated Trades, by an overwhelming vote, decided to let the Telegram severely alone. The labor unions did not relish the presence of Telegram reporters spying on their actions. they Dunning, seems to be in particu- bills. larly hard luck.

It will be remembered that Toral was severely criticised because of his failure to successfully defend the town against the land forceR of the United States. His government upbraided him and the public hooted him. Constant brooding over the matter dethroned his reason and at last the poor devil died. Spain must be a hot old country to live in. In America, or most anywhere else, a man who made such a gallant defense as did Toral would have been highly honored. No wonder the people throw bombs in Spain. 2.

That the est housewife who sent her be? spreads, tablecloths and sheets to the laundry was being buncoed by the more crafty one who sent only hand kerchiefs and hired the heavy work done at home. The trust did not a sumo to raise the price. It simply changed the system so as to mystify its patrons. It issued a complicated price list, presumably In the interest of the dear public. The new list went into effect April 4, and price continued one week. Instead of lowering the price, it had the effect of raising it from 30 to 60 per cent. There was one man whose conscience troubled him. That man was T. W. Matr tliews, manager of the American laundry. He told the other members of the trust that they were about to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. He protested against the raise and was informed that the public would pay twelve cents a pound as easily as it paid six cents, If the advance was made in such a way that it would not stir up a revolt or occasion any publicity. Mr. Matthews reluctantly consented to try the plan, with the understanding that he could withdraw' from the compact if he so desired. Of course the prices that have been . charged are enormous, and Mr. Matthews did not think the public would stand the raise. The public is looked upon as foolish, but no mysterious price lists can change the amount actually paid to the laundry. There was a loud protest from the regular patrons of the American laundry, which confirmed Mr. Matthews In the opinion that this was the straw that was about to break the camels back. He notified the trust members that he would resume the original schedule of six cents a pound for family washing. The poorly paid clerk will still continue to dole out a large part of his salary in payment for his laundry work, and the young ladies in the dry goods stores will keep on paying seventy-five cents for washing a shirt waist that originally cost thirty-nin- e cents on the bargain counter. There is a hope that the trust is broken. Speaking of the conditions, Mr. Matthews said: When I became thoroughly convinced that the new price list raised the rates cn family washing from 30 to 60 per cent. I did not think it was a wise business policy to adopt the schedule. I have been perfectly satisfied with the profits from my business, and had no wish to increase the prices. When I insisted that six cents a pound was ample, I was Informed that the public would pay twelve cents as easily as six. I did not think so, and objected to being drawn Into the agreement.
