liist will be ‘Jl feet. in width. fourteen

car loads of crushed stone to complete
the work.
FREE ADVERTISING.
At the meeting of the Central Labor
Union Sunday. the delegate from this
city reported that the independent hat
manufacturers here are putting goods on
the market at $2 a dozen cheaper than
heretofore.
The free advertising given the firms of
Adams Brothers and Brown. McCanna &
Cottrell looks a little suspicious. and may
accountrfor the business these firms are
doing. To have it given out that the
trade can be supplied with goods at $2
per dozen less than the market price is
the biggest sort of an advertisement. and
would in the regular course of business
cost a good deal of money. and probably
be worth all it cost. Ilow these firms
manage to get so beneficial an announceo
merit is what surprises us. Ustensibly
the'boycotters are working against these
firms—actually they are working for
them. The proof of this is the business
that comm to them—a great deal of it
from unexpected sources. Evidently
thoae in the hat trade read the papers.
We were informed a few days ago by
a large manufacturer who is being boy-
cotted by the Central Labor Union that
he has one of the members under pay to
furnish him all information of the do:
ing- of the body. and he finds it profi—
table folio boycotted. We knew that
7 the batting firms in this city which are
being boycotted were composed of
shrewd man, but we never suspected un-
til now that they were sharp enough to
get so much advertising for nothing.

The experience of the past few years
iii the way of strikes. and the riot which
friqueiitlv follows. has prettyeffectually
persuaded both employ crs and employed
that quarrels do not pay. Under the illi—

labor reformer will deny that arbitration
is effecting much in removing and adjust-
ing causes of complaint on the pint of

Nothing lasting is accomplished by the
