countess Tolytoi Great1y beloved.

1t is not surprising that the poor peo-
pie of Russia are all said to be 'lovers
of the Countess Tolstoi.". She is in the
habit of giving periodical receptions for
the benefit of the starving peasants, all
of whom the countess is wont to speak
of as her sons and daughters. To these
receptions people come from miles
around, and after inspecting the pictures
of the saints which adorn the wall and
praying to them they depart, leaving
contributions on large table in the CEN
ter of the room. These the countess
causes to be promptly distributed. and
in this way she probably does more real
good than any woman Russia has ever
produced.

FIXING. THEIR WAGES.
How the Iron and Sheet Steel and
Tin Plate Associations
SCALES WILL BE FIXED THIS YEAR,
There Will Not Be Sweeping Decrease in
Any Department.
LABOR NOTES OF GENERAL INTEREST

The Executive Committee of the Iron and
Sheet Steel Association met yesterday after.
noon in the Monongshela House. 1t is the
first meeting since John Jarrett returned
from Birmingham to take the secretaryship
of the organization. The meeting was fol
the purpose of outlining his work.
The association has not secured rooms in
the city yet. Last night committee was
sent out on tour of inspection. Rooms in
the Ferguson block will probably be chosen.
Mr.. Jarrett is also to take the secretary
ship of the Tin Plate Association. The two
organizations he Dis to manage are closely
allied, but they will not be consolidated, as
was intended some time ago They will be
affiliated and each will work for the others
good. On May 81 the Tin Plate Associa-
tion will meet in Pittsburg, and after that
date MI. Jarrett will have charge of the
organization.
The Iron and Sheet Steel Association
will meet again on June 1. At this time
the scale for 1928 will be arranged. 81
do not favor a reduction" said Mr.. Jarrett
yesterday. 'I do not think there will be
any, nor think it would be wise for me to
advocate decrease
81 am strong friend of the workingman
and have always been working for his ben
eft am also protectionist, and this fall
1 am to go on the stump for the tariff. If I
were to advocate cut in the wages of the
workingman, then turn around and make Q
plea for protective tariff, my logic would be
severely criticised"
w. c. Cronemeyer, the manager of the
United States tin plate plant at Demmler,
attended the meeting yesterday. In
speaking OF the scale, he said: 81
expect no trouble in the adjustment
of the scale this year. There may
be considerable change made, but it
will be where it is needed. At the present
time the wages of the men are not as they
should be. There is no show at equaliza-
tion, and that is what we want to get at.
We will try to adjust the wages, cutting
down one man where we think he is getting
too much, and giving it to another workman
who is being poorer paid.

The 500 hod carriers of the two cities are
on a strike because the bosses want them to
work nine hours on Saturdays. For
three weeks they have been working
nine hours every day but Saturday, and
eight hours then, receiving the same pay
each day. Several attempts were made to
settle, but nothing has been accomplished
yet
About $50 non-union bricklayers have
also stopped work tor the same reason.

Indian brought news of this plan to the
fathers at the mission, who contrived to
reach Wilson, and spirit him away to
the mission, just before the angry pros

gratitude in after years he presented
the Dc Smet mission with the beautiful

quarters for work in this section until
in the eighties, when the foundations
for the present city of Spokane were
laid in the little hamlet that sprang up
around the splendid water power Of
Spokane falls. When the village
reached considerable size, the fathers
secured a small. frame carpenter shop,
on the corner of Maine and Bernard
streets, and transformed it into chapel
and school. About this humble little
frame building have been built, in the
various portions of the city, the
splendid Catholic edifices which are
among its most handsome buildings,
and which shelter educational and
philanthropic institutions which are tho
pride of its citizens. In 1886 the large
church and also the Jesuit college for
the training of candidates for the
priesthood were completed. The latter
is located on slightly emincnce on the
outskirts of the city. A year later the
Sisters of Providence completed their
extensive hospital The Sisters of the
