NOW THE STRIKE IS ON.
Master Gentlemen Refuse to
Grant Increase Pay and a Short
Day Too.

Master COrnicemen Refuse to
Grant Increase Pay and Short
Day Too.
The cOrnicewOrkers have struck. They
will not work to-day. The strike was
expected, but it was decided upon
little sooner than was expected. The
dispute is on the question of wages
simply. The nine-hOur day has been
conceded by the employers. They re-
fuse TO yield on the wage question.
The cornicewOrkers met Sunday and de-
clded to strike unless granted 20 per
cent increase in wages in addition to
the nine-hour day. Yesterday morn
ing a committee waited upon Lewis
II. Selden, of Grygla s. Selden,
secretary of the Northwestern ASsocia-
ton of Master CGrniceworkers and
ROOferS, and communicated to him their
demands. They gave the association
twenty-four hours in which to reply.
Mr.. Selden promptly told them that so
much time was not needed. The en-
plOyerS would never consent to the de-
mand for more pay. The strike might
as we'll begin. The contest will be gen
eral all over the Northwest The mas
terS' association, of which Mr.. Selden is
secretary, includes all the shops in Min
neapOiis, st. Paul, Superior and Duluth.
The jCurDeymen'S unions of the four
cities are also united, and it is to be
a test of endurance. The men saw
they will win. In this city they saw
they have eighty men i'll the union, in
Guiding practically every workman. 1t
takes skilled artificer to do the cornice-
workers work and the union men claim
1t will b; simply impossible to get new
men. On the other hand the masters
say the strike could not come at a better
time than now. 1t is very early in the
season and the shops are ready to shut
down for three months if necessary.
They claim to have good deal of work
ahead and are willing to shut down in
definitely.
Secretary Selden says the employers
cannot afford to pay the increase. They
all have contracts made a year ago,
based on the old wage scale. To grant
an Increase now won Ii be suicidal.
Under the old scale of wages the men
earned from $3.50 to s. per day all the
year round, eight hours in winter and
ten in summer. The employers think
that enough. They recognize the right
Of the men to organize and to have their
word on the length of the day worked.
They refuse to allow the men to dictate
in the matter of wages or to say who
may be employed.

Several years ago, after severe spell OF sick
ness. was advised by her house physicians to
use Johann Hofs Malt Extract to rebuild

mirably that in appreciation the Emperor
Francis Joseph ordered Mr.. Johann Hoff to
his court and not only appointed him Pur-
yeyor to the Austrian Court, but also decorat-
ed him with the Order OF the Golden Cross
and Crown. This was distinction not often
received by civilians and merchants. and it
made him a Knight in Austria In 1870 he
also received the Order Of the Crown from
Emperor Wilhelm.
Johann Hof Extract of Malt has become
known ali over The world. No less than half

interesting sketches now running in the
columns Of your paper will recall 10 the memory
Of many Of the veterans who served under him
a the West the activity Of that General IN the
operations before Corinth. From the time of
landing of Gen. Pope's forces at Hamburg until
the evacuation OF Corinth, that part Of the army
was I'm constant motion, and il was the general
impression among the troops that had Gen.
Pope been invested with supreme command
the enemy would not have been allowed TO

Of labor with pick aud spade the empty honor
Of capturing a deserted town. The company
TO which the writer belonged was armed with
Colts revolving rifles. Being engaged on the
skirmsh-l me much Of the time, we had good
chance 10 witness the push Of this part OF the
Union line. We remember our advance on
Pennington May 9, 1852, part OF Gen. Pal
mers Division being in the advance. Alter
crossing swampand reaching the open country,
we encountered Gen. Prices forces drawn mp IN
line OF battle. As the day was very hot, aud
anticipating hotter work ahead, our brigade was
allowed 10 pile kuapsaCks. We all know how
eager Gen. Pope was 10 cross swords with the
enemy, but the man who held supreme COM
mand, and who never inspired his troops by his
presence among them, had ordered otherwise.
we were therefore CtupelIcN 10 retreat. BtlhH

TIE day before the evacuation the I2d IT'D. and
an OHIO regiment were supporting battery Of
52-pound PARROTS. This battery was engaged
with a rebel battery guarding the road TO Cor

out in the swamp on picket duty. As we were

On the Quaker Road.

I. N. Durboran, Co. X, 1st Pa. Reserves, Two
Taverns, Pa, says that The Majors Story" in
the issue Of Jan. I, by Comrade Hess, reminds
him Of the same night, June %, 1862; for his
division had the honor Of seeing the train
through the swamps from Savage Station to
Malvern Hill. They halted in pleasant little
field, and had orders TO make coffee and rest
but an order soon came to fail in and double
quick out on the old Quaker road toward the
river. Col. ROber thought he was getting far
Their than was necessary TO support the cavalry,
and halted his command in a cut in the road
with orders TO BIO ready at the shortest notice.
That night they heard cavalry riding to the
rear as if Old Nick was after them, and he
would like to know if that was the Major and
his company. They heard the whippOOrwill
and owl calls, but did not see or hear the hogs
the cOmrade speaks Of, as they were probably
more 10 the right. lie would like To know
where the cavalry was on June 80, as they GER
tainly were not on the Quaker road. Should
any of the writer's company, or Col. SimOn's
Brigade see this it will remind them of some
strange things that happened about that time.
