come to the conclusion that they not receiving
enough pay. and some time ago united demand
was made of their employers for higher wages
but in nearly every they met with re-

month. Yesterday about twenty-five Of the
girls walked out of their respective kitchens and
came to this city, leaving their mistresses to
manage affairs as best they could. AS the sum-
mer resorts now securing help, the girls
think it is good time of the year to strike.

Knights Applying for Work.


Straws which indicate the direction Of the
wind are no longer a novelty here, but particu-
lar straw which found Its way into the Iron
Mountain railroad yard today created quite a
breeze of its own. Four of the striking foremen
of the switch crews applied for work, and prom
ised to bring their crews with them in the morn
ing They are Knights of Labor, but did not APP
ply for work as such. They were not asked to
sign any agreement, but thoroughly understood
they were not engaged as Knights of Labor.
They were asked why they did not remain out
with the bulk of the strikers. One of them, a
married man. answered for the quartet. He
had gone on strike In obedience to orders. he
was willing to remain strike so long as he
was ordered by the powers that be, if the latter
kept their promises that all strikers should be
we'll taken care of. His grocery bill was paid
out of the strikers fund, but he was ex-
pected to pay his own house rent and
to pay for everything else except for food
enough to sustain himself and family. What
was he to do? If the general executive board or
the executive committee of his assembly would
not pay his rent he was compelled, matter
OF necessity, to return to work. The household
or would not give him credit neither would any
one else SO long as he was ON strike, because it
was we'll known that he had no money except
what he obtained from the strikers fund, and
business men did not seer 20 think that would
last long go far. His was q case of must.
He must have money, and to get it he must work.
There were many others, he said, who were in a
like fix, and would soon be heard from. These
are the only sort of men the Missouri Pacific
company has been in need of for some time, and
the old foremen were gladly welcomed.
Money for the strikers is evidently not coming
in with rush that equals the demand for it,
The spirit of discomfort among the strikers is
spreading. Their needs will increase as the
funds grow smaller, GAd it may not take much
time to change the doubt of their leaders ability
to take good care of them into certainty. With
