he sent for her.

refused to eome an live with him and

Boston Cigarmakers' Union 97, one
of the strongest labor organizations in
the country, has voted not to admit
foreigners to membership until they
have been in America at least one
year. In the past it has been the
practice of the union to admit for
eigners who held union . cards from
their own unions abroad, but the old

have discovered that it is becoming
more difficult for them to retain their
jobs or find new ones, while the for

CHICAGO CUTS OUT
NOISE AND CABARETS
Chicago, Til., Aug. 30. Every day
is to resemble Sunday in Chicago, if
some of the new city ordinances which
came into effect today serve the pur
pqss for which they are intended. Of
most general interest and importance
is the anti-trust law. This is expect
ed to throw the hurly-gurdy players,
organ grinders and mud-gutter musi
cians into 'the discard- and absolutely
prohibits the yells and cries of the rag
pickers, knife grinders and all street
peddlers.
Another of the new ordinances is
the anti-cabaret law. This forbids the
form of restaurant-dance hall enter
tainment which of late has swept like
a great wave from New York to San
Francisco and has probably reached
the zsnith of its popularity in Chi
cago. The law prphibitihg tha cab
aret show makes no discrimination be
tween the cheap music hall and the
fashionable and high-priced restau
rants and hotel cafes.
Thanks to another of the ordinances
put into efect today it will now be
posible for a Chicagoan to use the
telephone without getting Jones' mother-in-law
on the line when he wants
the druggist. Nor will the sweet-voiced
central longer ignore the impor
tunities of the subscriber who gets
hot under the collar after calling a
quarter of an hour in vain for a num
ber. All of these little worries of life
are expected to be abolished as a re-
'suit of the establishment of a new
telephone complaint an service bureau,
for which the city has appropriated
$10,000. The new bureau is expected
to hear every grievance ot once and
give full satisfaction. .
A union of telephone operators, com
posed exclusively of women, has been
organized in Shreveport, La.
; The British Medical association is
seriously considering the ad viability
of organizing as a labor union.
The Western Federation of Miners
reports that it gained $3,244,500 in
