The lat- ter are guaranteed employment for a year. Electrical workers at Boston have struck. fur an eight -hour day and r3; A call for 8 convention of 'commercial telegraphers, to be held in Chicago, on September 20, has been sent out.

The com- plaint is that too large a proportion ot the cheroots made are thrown ont Se had, and which are not paid for. The laws of Kansas provide that the labor to - Mee of the state shall orgaisize a state society and select the labor com- missioner, thus giving the unions tht privilege of saying who shall represent them in so important a position. The Conductors and Railway Men's aesocintion of Canada, representing some 20,00Q employee, has pledged its mem- bers not to haul coal mined by non-union men. .

Forty invalid employee of the Wabash railroad were recently sent from the company's hospital, at Pern,,Ind., to San Francisco, accompanied by three trained nurses.

The railroad com- pany pays oll expenses of the trip. Notwithstanding the recent ukase of the czar of Russia, establishing a ten- hour working day, a reform for which Russian laborers hive long prayed in WITH THOSE WHO TOIL. vain, the country is full of discontent. The new law provides penalties for em- ployers who violate the provisions. Full The expressmen of San Francisco have pay must be given for all overtime. This organized. reform, however, does not greatly affect the peasants, who are in a wretched con- dition GREAT STORE OF GOLD. Uncle Sam Has More on Hand than Myer Before. The sum of gold now in the treasury exceeds that at any previous time in the history of the country and with one pos- sible euception it exceeds that of any country at any time in the history of the world. The single exception in that of Russia about eight years ago, when that coun- try was preparing to resume gold pay- ments. At that, time Russia its said to have had in its treasury $508,000,000 in gold. Last Saturday the vaults of the United States treasury contained $573, 935.190, an increase since July 1, 1901 of $79,087,897. This stock of gold is now being added to at the rate of about $200,- 000 to $300,000 a day, with no immedi- ate prospect of a cessation in the rate of depritss. This condition of things is eminently satisfactory to the treasury officials, who regard it as the best possible evidence of prosperity and of confidence in the finan- cial stability of the country. The gold now coming in is being replaced by gold certificates, the former being etnpplied where the rlenominatione wanted are $20 and over, the United States notes for tette and silver certificates for fives, twos and ones. TONAPAR'S MILLIONS. A Camp 'hat Haa Done Wonder. In a Short Time. L. O. Ray, a delegate to the mining congress from Nevada, spoke as follows about Tonapah, in that state: Tonapali will be to the state of Nevada in 1903-4 what the Comstock was to Nevada in the early days of that state. Tonopah, while yet a baby, has surprised the world in tier production during the last five months of 1901. During this period she took trout her mines $6,000,000, for which smelter receipts will eubstatitiate Inv taterrient. Towel) bats made more poor wen ripalLby in a shorter period thitti any Oilier mining camp in the N'orld. After leasing ceased, prospect- ing and mining eomtneneed. The Toms; pali mines of today have got blocked out and ready to take out of the mines more ;harm $9,000.000. The mines sold for $50,000 in Mey, 1901, and the royalty Iron) the leases to the first of the year 1902 paid -more than that eronant. To make it brief. Tonapals at the present time, with a low grade of ore on her dumps and what slits boa in eight, at a neigh estimate will yield about $12,- 000,000. State Republican League.
