Christopher Evans, Secretary of the Aim -rican Federation of Labor, has had a and varied experience n the field of liiiior, he was bom in England, carne to this country at the age of twinty-eisrht and is now neaily lifty. He settled n Oliio and joined the now ilisorgunized buttheu poweiful Miner's National Orf_'iiniz;ition of whicli lie rapidly became n leader. In 1875 he joined the Kights of L'ibor and then bec.une President of District No.l. It was in this eapacity that he eonducted the famoua Ilocking Valley strike, durinji whicli the minere held out fornearlya yeur. Mnch of the succes which has íittciided the Federation is due to Mr. Eviins, who is au ndetatisable worker. He .nul President Gpmpew are the lite ind soul of the Eight Hour movement and as it is the belief of the otlicers of the Federatlou that the best way to lielp the ffllow workers is to shorien the hotirsof labor. TIn y have, to accomplish th is, spcnt nmny thousandsof dollars and haveissued tiiillionsof pamphlets, which have been distiihuted all over the world. The aim of the Federation is ultimalely to absorb every labor organization in the country formed under the trade Union system, and so between Ftderation and Knijrbts ot Ij-ibor tbere is a contlnoua strugglefor 8uprcmacy which biiis fair to continue iudefinilely. Wlii-n I tliink of tlic towel, the oldfashioned towel, that u-ed to hang np by the priuting house door, I think tliat nobody in these days of shoddy can hammer out i ron to wear as t wore. The tramp who abused it, the devil who used it, the comp who (tot at It when these two were gone; tlie make-up anü foreman, the editor, poor man, each rubbed some grime off while they put a heap on. In, over and under, 'twas blacker thau thunder, 'twas harder than poverty, rougher than sin; trom the roller suspended, it never was b.ïnded, and it llapped on the wall like a banner of tin. It grew thicker and rougher and harder and tougher, and dally put on a more inkier hue, until one windy morning, without any warning, It feil to the Hoor and was broken in two. - Bob Burdette.
