Though many dialect stories may have
been OF use, as preserving to the student of
language the speech of different localities,
many of them are very unfair. as we of
New England can see in the sketches Of
our own country people, where wise and
unwise, learned and ignorant, are repre-
scented as invariably ungrammatical, and
dropping the final 'g" profusely.
Writers err also in not adapting the style
of their ''slipshod language to the period
of the story. a lady, commenting on a
certain Juvenile" of the events of 1910,
says: There is slang in that story which,
am sure, is not more than ten years old
| remember 1910 WE'LL lived at home in a
house full of noisy brothers | went to
school, and l was familiar with the chill
dren's phrases popular at the time, and
these / am confident are of a far more
modern date"
Such a subject is worth the attention of
antiquaries; every age and generation has
its own phrases. When this century was
in its teens did girls say persons and things
were ''just lovelyi" Did boys tell about
having "a regular blowout"
Attention to such points makes a story
Ito use a phrase of Sir Walter Scott ''look
much better in the face" and without such
care a story is of little use as portraiture
of the past. For evidence, however. that
slang, ancient or modern, is not essential

Equal PAY Tor Women.

Washington Post: At the concluding
session of the annual meeting of the
Master Car and Locomotive Painters as
sociation, which was held in this city last
week. Mrs. Charlotte Smith, president Of
the " oman's Industrial league, offered
memorial, which was adopted by the
association, recommending that equal
pay be given to women employed in
painting cars for work equivalent to tina;
of men. The memorial set forth z that
though women did the same work as
men in car painting and decorating, and
did it equally well. yet they received less
pay. The facts were within the
knowledge of members of the association
and they showed their sense of justice in
adopting the memorial.
Much of the work done by women in
car painting is genuine art work. some of
it of high order of merit. 1t can always
be Judged of in its results. ard there is as
little sense or justice in underpayipg them
for it as there would be in chespening an
admirable picture only because a woman
had painted it. In art work of the higher
kind there is no thought of discriminating
on account of sex, and there should not
be in art work of any kind. None of the
objections which are sometimes urged in
some lines of work against employing
women on the same terms as men apply
to this case, and Mrs. Smith did good
service in calling attention to the MUS
tice it involves.
The working world is rapidly coming
to apprehend the Justice of giving equal
remuneration to women who do as much
and as good work as men The presi,
dent of the workingmen's congress which
recently met at Newcastle, in England,
in his opening address advocated the
principle of equal wages for equal work.
both 10 men and to women indiscrimi-
nstely, and the sentiment was spplauded
to the echo. Some prejudices are mani,
.,festlv passing away, and among them
the idea that woman's work is worth less
than mans and should receive le,s paw.

LIKELY TO PROVE A FIzzLE
Not Much Expected of the
May list Labor Strike.
A BLOW FROM HOOKING VALLEY
West Virginia Miners Also
Refuse to be Idle.
1t is Probable the Scheme May he Adam
doned for Another Year--The Building
Trades Strike in Pittsburg Also Uncer-
tain--The Men Divided and at War
With Each Other.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 26.-The great
eight-hour strike promised for May list
by the bituminous coal miners, affect
ing anywhere from 10000 to 100000
men, is in fair way to fizzle out The
state presidents and executive board of
the United Mine Workers of America
met at Columbus yesterday, in the vain
hope of securing some unity of action,
and adjourned over until tomorrow,
when they will, in all likelihood,
abandon the entire scheme for another
year.
The first black eye the movement re-
ceived was on Friday when the Hooking
Valley operators arrange with their men
to continue the nine-hour day another
year at the present terms. The other
Ohio operators will make similar
agreement tomorrow. In Pennsylvania
about one-half the men within the
"Forty Mile" radius of Pittsburg will
not strike, nor will any of the 5000 river
miners. The Clearfield, Jefferson and
Centre county men wants to strike, but
if they do their markets will be seized
by the Maryland and Pocahontas opera
tors and those along the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Paramount branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio, where the men
refuse to strike.
The West Virginia miners have an
nounced that they cannot afford to lie
idle, while in Kentucky and Tennessee
the operators have promised to concede
the eight-hour day if their competitors
do, thus avoiding strike there. The
Indiana miners are undecided, and the
northern Illinois and southern Illinois
men are at war with each other. With
the coke strike likely to go against the
men and the general apathy shown by
the executive board of the Knights of
Labor and American Federation, the
United Mine Workers officials have
about concluded to back down grace
fully.
There is much uncertainty with re-
gard to the proposed general strike in
the building trades in Pittsburg. Both
sides are in q bad humor and already
1900 men are out ON account of local
trouble, but it Is possible that the strike
of 10000 men may not occur.
WEST VIRGINIA WILL REFUSE TO STRIKE
WHEELING, w. VA, April 26.-Re-
ports from all the mining districts of
West Virginia indicate that very few
men will quit work on May LIST. In the
Kanawha valley and the Pocahontas re-
gions, in which over 10000 men are en-
ployed, there will be no strike whatever.
On the Upper Monongahela the men
are not organized, and will not obey the
call to go out. On the West Virginia
Central, where some 5000 men are en-
ployed, about the same condition pre-
vaiis. Whatever may be done else
where, West Virginia miners will not
join in the proposed great movement.

RUDINrs TEMPER CHayGED.
Seeking to Get Out of His Ugly Predica,
mant.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2S.-When
Secretary Blaine got back to-day from his
brief outing he found good news from
Rome awaiting him in the form of dis
patches from Minister Porter representing
Rudini as quite changed in temper and
purposes, and as only seeking now to get
out of the predicament he has gotten him
self into. The sacrifice of Fava is indi-
Gated as his nextmove

officers here, has contributed by the pri-
vate information he has sent Rudini' in
setting the latter right about the attitude
of this country.
Blaine is now awaiting District Attorney
Grants report from New Orleans, which
may not be here until next month.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 27.-While,
as the encouragement said this evening,
he has not as yet received the formal re-
port OF District attorney Grant on the
lynched Italians at New Orleans, it is I'M
derstood that before Blaine sent his last
letter to Rudini he had received an in
formal report from District ATTORNEY
Grant, stating that only two of the Italians
were not American citizens and that both
of these were notorious criminals. II is
said that Blaine had Minister Porter com
municate this fact to Rudini, and that 1t
had great deal to do with quieting Rudini
down as well as with braclng Blaine up,
Blaine will formally transmit the formal
report OF Grant when it arrives.

DESERVING the Briclslayers, Federation.

CHICAGO, April 2s.-A special dispatch
from Milwaukee says: "Bricklayers' Union
No. l.. of Milwaukee, numbering some 425
men, has left the American Federation of
Labor. The union is very large and
strong one, and 1t is said controls all of the
bricklayers of the city. The action Of the
union was decided at largely attended
meeting of members. The men think
they are able to take care of them
selves and their affairs and saw that
they do not propose to be told when to
strike and when not to by lot of men
who are not connected with their affairs,
and only interested in them as means of
reaching their own ends. This action on
the part of the bricklayers will I'M
doubtedly have great effect on the labor
troubles and the efficiency of the strike
which is anticipated for May LIST, There
are indications that activity in building
operations may be resumed without any
formal settlement of the building trades
strike.
