William f. Forster was born in Dorsctshire

Though Secretary Forster promised at that
time that the prosecution act, which he was
armed with, woald not be employed to represS

The chairman of the executive committee
of the Knights of Labor, district No lOl, is
Martin Irons, of St Louis He it was who
precipitated the strike on the Missouri Pacific
railroad by ordering the members of the
Knights of Labor employed ON the Gould
system to quit work until their grievances
were needed Mr. Irons is a Scotchman,
stubborn, aggressive and self-reliant. In
this respect he is said to resemble no man
more than his antagonist Nice-President and
General Manager Hoxie, of the Missoui
Pacific II is contest in which the leaders
are well matched VI the support on both
sides were also equally balanced there would
be chance of victory resting with the
right.
One Of the results of the prominence given
to Mr. Irons by this strike is food of tele-
grams and correspondence which rours in
upon him every day The majority of these
letters bring encouragement, advice and sub
stantial support The autograph fiend liz
also bounding him. He has received re-
quest with an accompanying check of $50
for a five-page article from one of the maya
zines Through his present notofiety lie has
also received letter from a sister who has
been seeking him for twenty years. His

A DIVER DESCENDING TO TIE WRECK.
The reason we cannot work while the sea is
rough is this: Even when there is hut an
ocean swell the boats rise and fall as much
as ten feet with every wave. Now, the divers
life depends ON the signal or 'life' line being
kept taut, as it is by Jerks on this line that
he communicates his wishes to those in the
boat above; SO yon can understand how I'M
possible il would be to work with this boat
bobbing up and down on the surface of the
ocean at tine rate of ten feet in ten seconds.
Oh YES our men have been all over the decks
of the Oregon. Their first business was to
anchor buoys and set guide lines, 50 that the
diver need not waste time in cropping his way
about the ship You see, there is no
north, south, east or west to guide
him on the oceans bottom He drops
down on the vessels de,k precisely as spider
drops from the ceiling He fasteus his line
there, and, like a spider, continues to lay
lines that viii guide him ON his return. The
| greatest obstacle in the way of the divers
work is the tremendous air pressure required
which is over sixty pounds to the square inch
The air pumps are driven by steam power
which is something exceptional in diving
