Mr. Gould alleges that his mar riage was the result of fraud and mis representation on the part of his wife. | lie says that Mrs. Gould, prior to the | marriage, asserted that her relations j with Colonel Cody were exclusively I of a business nature, whereas they j were meretricious.

Conference >n New York Gets Figures of Unemployed. Statistics of Those Who Have Suf fered i>y the Business Depression (iiveii State by State. New York City.? Representatives of the Ittdustria 1 Workers of the World and other bodies met in the Hotel Astor to discuss th'1 question of the unemployed. Samuel A. Stodci. who was to have been chairman of the Union Square mass-meeting, gave figures showing (hat there are 0.1G0, 000 men and women out of employ ment. throughout the country. Some of Mr. Stodel's figures are taken from the article published in the World when the number of the unemployed in eacn scare was given. According to Mr. Stodel the condi lions have not improved, but wages of the employed have been decreased about twenty p?r cent. "Retrenchment." continued Mr. Stodel. "continues to be the policy all along the line. Industry is being more and more thoroughly organised by the employers so as to lower the cost of products. Where goods were formerly made for stock in large quantities to be shelved and stored in warehouses throughout the country, the system is now to limit production to orders only. "Banks throughout the country are decreasing their loans to manufactur ers and new loans are hard to get ex cept upon gilt-edge security. This state of affairs relative to banks usu ally occurs only in Presidential elec tion years, but the far-reaching pro m n/iw lioino- pnrripfl nilp is f>Y ceptional.

Its et- 1 istence there is due to the fact that I i during five or six recent weeks public < i subscriptions were necessary to main- < tain or to assist some 750 families? kj 3700 people in all, who are domiciled j in what has been known all over Can- ( ada as Shacktown. This is a region just beyond the municipal boundaries j of Toronto in which these families, , who are almost all newcomers from ! the Old Country, built themselves shanties?many of them mere tar pa- , j per constructions?because they could J . uui yxxy tut; uigu reuis wmuii m i<s- , j cent times have been demanded with- ] i in the city limits of.Toronto. These ; unfortunate people, being thus out- < side the city limits, had no claim on " i the city institutions which care for t ' the poor, and they might have been ' 1 left to face the hard times of the ' i present winter without regular or ( systematic help had it not been for j : the Globe, which appealed to people . j all over the province on behalf of ( those unfortunates and associated the ( : churches in the work of organized , ' elief. \ Krih'f in Toronto. \ \ There was a ready and generous re- 1 sponse to the appeal of the Globe. I j Two hundred men and women of To- i ronto?all volunteers?became asso- i ciated in the work of distributing the t i relief that was provided out of the t fund, which rapidly ran up to about t $20.1)00. None of the unfortunate ( aewcomers were left destitute. There s , were soon funds in hand or in sight to see them through to the end of March. < But it was not thought that the prob- s lem of Shacktown will then be at an < : end, for there are 3000 or 4000 un- s employed living within the city lim- s its.

A large proportion of these unemployed within the city lim its were also newcomers from Eng land or Scotland, and there was much doubt whether with times as they are there would be work for all the unem ployed of Toronto and Shacktown when spring opens and something like normil conditions are restored. Other Ontario cities have been maintaining numbers of unemployed this winter. Chatham has had a bur Jen of this kind. About 100 families, including 300 children, arrived there from England between August and the end of the immigration season of 1907. Of the men of these families, seventy-five have been out of work all I winter. The condition of these peo- ! pie was brought to the attention of the Government at the end of Janu ary by a petition to the Department }f the'Interior from the City Council, :he Board of Trade and the Associated Charities of Chatham, in which it was 3tated that unpaid rents were accu mulating; landlords were growing impatient; that $2200 had been paid 5ut in aid by the city, and that un ess there were some immediate aid from the Dominion Government most >f the newcomers would be homeless xnd starving. Surplus of Labor. There is thus a surplus of labor in Ontario cities besides the large sur plus in Toronto and Shacktown. The 31obe, which showed great energy ind resourcefulness in coping with :he situation in Shacktown, pointed jut that in 1907 Canada received 277,000 immigrants, and that this un precedentedly large influx followed in incoming of 215,000 immigrants :n 1906. Mr. Porritt states that when the Shipping Federation of Montreal met ecently to settle the basis of long shoremen's pay for the coming navi gation season, it was decided to re luce wages both at Montreal and Quebec. These reductions were i nade because it was the conviction of \ :he Shipping Federation that there is j :o bo less business at the two ports I han there was in the navigation sea- i son of 1907. In the lumber camps 1 :1m season also wages are fifteen or | ;wenty per cent, less than they were J n ihe season of 1906-7. Early in ; November last, when recruiting be- j ;an, the old rates were offered. Just i is soon, however, as it was realized :hat men were more eager to go into lie camps than in 1906-7, wages were educed, and moreover, the season's :ut will be smaller than that of any season for three or four years back. The Trade Union Congress of Can ida early in. the winter sent a repre sentative to England to make labor conditions in the Dominion under itood there, and to endeavor to stay some of the Immigration from that :ountry and Scotland. His mission, lowever, apparently had little suc nss, for the expectation at Halifax is j hat the season of 1908 will make a ' lew record for the port.

Will Do So Unless Congress Amend Anti-Trust Laws So That It Shall Not Apply to Unions. Washington, D. C.?Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, who appeared be fore the House Committee on thi Judiciary to urge a favorable repor on the Civic Federation bill intro duced by Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, pro posing amendments to the Shermai anti-trust act, made a threat in bs half of organized labor which he du not attempt to veil or conceal. H< told the committee frankly that ii view of the intolerable condition: that now surround laboring men i would be necessary for them to i'ur ther in secret the cause for whici they stand if the inherent right which he alleged they possessed wer; taken from them by the applicatioi of the anti-trust act. He made i plain further that if the pending bill: were defeated labor would hold thi party in power responsioie. "Suppose injunctions are ofctair.ec against us," said Mr. Gompers. "Sup pose our funds are taken from us b: damage suits. Our spirit cannot b; killed. The organization of laboi has lasted for centuries and it is her< to stay. Nothing can abolish it. W< may be driven into organizing in se cret, but we will never be extermin ated. "And," continued Mr. Gomperi with great deliberation, "gentlemei of the wisdom possessed by member: of this committee know that mei who are allowed to combine in thi open, free and unmolested, are mor< careful and circumspect than thos< who are driven into secrecy?oath bound secrecy. In my judgment n< question before Congress equals ii importance this proposition to s< amend the Sherman law as to give or ganlzed labor its rights?rights tha it has enjoyed for a century. I ought not to be postponed until j hereafter. The workmen feel tha they have been outraged by th? Sherman law, which has been con struea so as to imeriere win the inherent right of going 01 strike in protection of thei' rights and their very lives. If judge the temper of the workmen o this country correctly, and I think do, we cannoUwait much longer fo: relief. And it is certain that we wil hold to a strict accountability th? men or the parties responsible for de lay in our securing that action t< which we are so plainly entitled." Mr. Gompers, in reply to question propounded by Mr. Littlefield, sail that he believed in the boycott. Afte explaining that the right to strike i the only great weapon labor has in it struggles for its rights Mr. Gomper pointed out that while he favored th pending bill as a whole he would liki to have it amended so as not to re quire Federal registration by the la bor organizations. In the course of his address Mr Gompers referred to an unsuccessfu effort he made in 1902 to have th Sherman act amended. Mr. Littlefield?"I was one of th' seven who voted against it." "There were nine," corrected Mr Gompers. "Some of them are no members of Congress now." Representative Littlefield openei the hearing by reading a score o more telegrams received from busi ness men and representatives of cor porations interposing serious objec tion to several features of -the pend ing bill. Among the messages re ceived were the following: "If this bill, which legalizes th boycott, is passed, the country wil be handed over to the Democrats." "For God's sake, kill the Hepbur: bill!" "Kill the bill, or all confidence i our intention will be destroyed." Representative Littlefield, who ha had two or three skirmishes with 01 ganized labor, smiled grimly as h read these telegrams.

"A most elaborate drawing ap peared in an Eastern publication re | cently showing a tall tree, and on the aides, from base to tip, scenes of various great historical events in the world's march of -progress. Under the picture appeared the legend 'In the Lifetime of a California Red wood.' "Shoup sent on to the publishers, seeking permission to use the origi nal drawing on an enlarged scale as a California souvenir to be sent broadcast into all the public schools of the land. Got to talking of the idea, and, looking at the dates on the events, changed his mind. The oldest date in the picture was 520 A. D., which would make the tree ies3 than 1400 years old. Well, Jor dan and several other scientists claim that the California giant redwoods are more than 3000 years old. So Shoup is trying to get up a picture that will show the birth of Moses, the voyages of Ulysses and the rise and fall of the Roman Empire."? San Francisco Chronicle. The Deaf and Dumb.
