Telephens Main Ml. THE RED FLAG. The dispatches, today announce a vicious attack, by what Is termed a Jabor union, upon property in Chicago, wherein the property of their formei employers was wrecked and a loss of tlOO.000 Incured. Several men Were brutally beaten, and innocent women and children driven from their homes. Simply because this labor union had a grievance with their employers over hours and wages. No one questions the right of any labor organisation to demand shorter hours and an increase in wages com mesurate with the Increase in the cpst of living, and they have a right to walk out and refuse to wrrk If their de mands are not acquiesced In, but here their right ends. They have no legal, moral or union right to destroy prop erty, injur men and drive innocent women and children from their home When they do so they become, not only lawbreakers and amenable to. the law, but cowardly curs and should be disfranchised and then hung. They are a disgrace to the cause of labor In the United States and a suppurating sore on the body politic. But the labor unions are not alto gether to blame. A large majority oi them do not Indorse overt acts to ac complish their ends. It 1 the scum, scurff and rabble of creation, import ed here by monopolies and trusts, that are to blame for these outrages. Politicians, particularly of the Hearst yeUow Journal stripe, are to a certain extent to blame for these outrages. They seek political preferment b pandering to the maualln sentiments of the low and vicious in order to be elected to office and this encourages the vicious element to Imagine that they are the people. The actions of the criminal element oi taoor organizations is credited up to organized labor, and it is thee out rages that has turned public sentiment against labor organizations. A labor organization conducted on conserva tive principles will always be success ful, both In their organlzatoln anJ their demand for their Just and equit able rights. They are an honor and credit to the community, but In order to gain the prestage they have lost principally in Chicago, the must elim inate the anarchists, saloon bummers, cut-throats and land pirates from their organization. There should be a law enacted by the congress of the United States making every man belonging to an anarchist organization, prima facia guilty of murder and punished accord ingly. This Is the only way to stop the reign of terror inaugurated undei the cloak of labor organizations. An anadchlPt Is a foul-mouthed., blattant blackguard, wno only Joins labor unions In order to precipitate a strike in order that they may be given an opportunity to pillage and rob and murder Innocent women and children. They wouIJ never be satisfied If they only had to work one hour a day and were paid $10 an hour. Work and wages ar no objects. They want an opportunity to Incite the populace with a breath that smells like the sour ofr'al .from a brewery, sweetened and per fumed with garlic and rotgut whisky. This whiskered, black-hearted repre. sentative from the dregs of Europe must be surpressed, or driven out of labor organizations and eliminated from the socialist party if either have any anticipation of suctexs in tlie ac complishment of thc-lr many worthy objects. from one fish. The experiments in dicate the remarkable fecundity of the salmon snd there ts little doubt that If the fishing Is conducted along sen slble lines, the crop will hold food In definitely. In the salmon wnters now sn effort Is being mads both by the government and state supervision t& give the fish protection during certain portions of the year. Heretofore the fishing has been both extravagant and reckless and despite the extreme pro ductiveness of the genus might lead to extinction in time Just as the robe hunter exterminated the American bi son." Here in Astoria, where the people are not race sulclders, but are at home on the salmon question, we claim to be pretty well up In the propogiWUm of tmlmn). But In the millions upna mil iums of salmon fry turned out from th Innumerable hatcheries, there has never been an Instance on record where 5100 salmon were turned out and three years after SS of them were reeaptur ed, some weighing ten pounds and the largest 57 pounds. In all fish coun tries there ts very little variation In the siie of salmon turned out at a given time, at least there Is not 47 pounds difference. Of course an Astoria fish dealer -can make a 10 pound sal mon weight !5 pounds by putting hi hand on the scale when he Is retail ing fish to those compelled to observe Lent but this rule does not obtain In the history of prorogation of salmon on theCo!umbl.i river. It hiay possibly be used to good ad vantage in Butte where, the eyes of the editors are filled with smelter smoke and who sometimes overesti mate their boose capacity, but it wouU not be safe for a Butte editor to come to Astoria and spring any fish story 6f that kind without first obtaining permission of the Editorial Saxerac Lying Club of Astoria. keep It fully abreast of the wnve Of prosperity that Is sweeping over As. torts.

These gentlemen have Just as good right to cut out their advertise ments as The Astorlnn has to cut out their cigars and boose. It's a free country. OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

That the Butte Inter Mountain has joined the ranks of fish prevaricators, Is evidenced from the following taken from that Journal: "At the stnte fish hatchery of Cali fornia they ate conducting scientific experiments of the fecundity of fish. Three years ago, the eggs of a single female salmon, numbering 5100, were set aside. The fish, when three Inches long, were marked and let loose. Last year 335 of these marked Annies vfpre recaptured. The smallest weighed 10 pounds and the largest 87 pounds, the lot averaging a little more than 21 pounds and the aggregate, weighing more than 9000 pounds. It is probable, therefore, that of the 5000 fish turned loose, the total weight at the end of three years was more than 7 tons, all CHECK OX SWINDLING. Among other acts which passed con gress during the last session and which have rtow become laws Is one to pre vent the use of devises calculated to convey the Impression that the United States governmtiit certifies to the qual ity of gold and silver used In the acts. This will put a stop to a petty form of swindling, from which the Ameri can people have themselves suffered. and which has worked considerable In- Jury to the good name of this country In other countries In which our goods are sold. The practice has been common among a certain class of manufacturing jewelers, to label articles which they expose for sale with words conveying that the articles are of certain fineness. followed by the words "United States assay." This use of these last words is a deliberate fraud, for they are Intended to convey the Impression that some agency of the national government has In fact certified to the fineness of the gold used In the article. In some In stances articles so stamped have been but thinly washed with gold; and in rare and exceptional cases the gold has been up to the standard of the bo gus certificate. To foreigners abroad purchasing out goods this has beer. particularly misleading, because In many countries there are government agencies which do. In fact, certify the quality of goods of the description. The law now is sufficiently drastic to put a stop to the fraud. It Imposes a fine upon the officers of every com pany which stamps goods In this man ner, for one thing; and for a still more Important thlng.it makes all such goods shipped for sale subject to seizure the same as smuggled goods. The manu facturers might be wiling to take a chance on the fine, but no dealer will take chances on handling them. It is Just as well that the news should be as widely disseminated as possible that the words, "United States Assay," stamped on any articles pur porting to be of gold or silver, ar prima facie evidence of fraud, and cer- ain evidence of a violation of the law for the purpose of swindling. AN ERA OP PROSPERITY. Present Indications point to a gen eral season of prosperity In Astoria. In fact, there has never been a time in the history of this city when condi tions and: circumstances were more favorable to such a result. The streets present an air of activity that has been foreign to the city for years, while business confidence prevails to an al most unlimited extent. Another In fallible sign of prosperous times Is the demand for houses, both of a residence and business character. The supply for these seems to be exhausted, and the consequent result Is -that capital ists are turning their attention and means towards the erection of build ings to meet this Increased demand. It is conservatively estimated that 1000 people have been added to the popu lation of Astoria In the past six months. Along with this general prosperltj The Astorlan Is getting its full share It Is today printing and circulating t sctual subscribers more papers than ever before in Its history and Its press room and subscription books are open to Inspection to substantiate this as sertion. Its payroll for the month of March was over $1200, and its shipments in Its manufacturing department averaged $100 per day for the month of March. Plans for the Improvement of The As torlan are being made which Includes the Issuing of a Monday morning edi tion and other Important changes, and It Is the Inclination of Its owner to The Astoria school teachers com plain because their salaries have not been Increased, Get married, girls.

MAKES WORK EASIER.- Astoria People Are Plssssd to Learn How It Is Done. It's pretty hard to attend to duties With a constantly aching back; With annoying urinary disorders. Doan's Kidney Pills make work easier. They cure backache. They cure every kidney III. John J. Keating, painter, of 301 1st St, Portland, Ore., says: "I had dull aching pains In my back for a number of years. They were often so severe that I had to quit work for two or three days at a time. Th kidney secretions were irregular and scalding and I suffered also from headches and dizziness. My back was always lame and sore In the morning. Physicians failed to help me and no medicine did me any good until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They relieved the uri-t nary difficulty and the heavy aching In the back disappeared."
