New ORLEANS, Nov. THE strike of

sumed more alarming proportions yes
terday and the prospect now is that all
of the city industries, with possibly one
or two exceptions. in which union labor
is employed, will be at a standstill to-

The conference between the mer-
chants and laborers' committees was
resumed at the city hall, Mayor Fitz-
patrick presiding, and after an execu-
tive session, which covered two
hours. was finally dissolved with
out result The merchants persist
ed in their demand that the men
should return to work before any at
tempt was made to arbitrate the exist
ing difference and the men were equally
firm in their demand that the differ
ences should be afbitrated at once be
fore the men were ordered back to
work; or at least as an evidence of good
faith that an arbitrator should be
chosen at once. To this proposition
the merchants replied that no charge
of bad faith could lie against them.
The men, they claimed, had failed to
carry out the agreement made with
them and if guarantees were to be
given, they should come from the men
Up to midnight the men had made no
fresh overtures to their employers The

Attitude of Him For Whom the Ne
World Was Named.

Attitude of Him For Whom the New
World Was Named
If by anything which he wrote or did
he sought to claim the original diseov-
cry of the New World. the fact has not
been proven, and Columbus certainly
did not know or suspect it, for we find
him at Seville in 1905, after his return
from his last voyage, broken, feeble,
and destitute, sending by Vespucius a
letter to his son Diego at the Spanish
court, commencing to him the bearer,
whom he the admiral, Q had commits
stoned to plead his cause with the obdu-
rate king The alue of Vespucius for
this mission lay in the fact that he had
himself visited the Brazilian coast with
Alonzo de Ojeda in 1899, and could con-
firm Columbus account OF the richness
of that country.
As to the final charge that Vespucius
in his letter claimed to have made a
voyage in 1897 which he really did not
make, the evidence seems to be against
him, but at worst it only convicts him
of an effort-out of all harmony with
his otherwise upright Iife-to magnify
his experience as q navigator, and thus
secure new employment in that capacity
from King Ferdinand, who was then
inclined to treat him with neglect
This is perhaps begging the question,
but the essential point in this connection
is that not even this charge, If true, nor
any other established fact, can fix upon
Vespucius the stigma of having sought
to give his name to the realm that had
been found by Columbus That which
actually happened resulted, by curious
accident, from the fact that he had a
penchant for writing, which the more
sedate and preoccupied Columbus had
not--Frank H Mason, in Harper's
Magazine
