THE LABOR WAR.
General Strike of British steyedores
Among Coming Events.

LONDON, April 13.-Indications point
to general strike of unionists engaged
in handling ships cargoes. The fight
between the Dock Laborers' Union and
the Shipping Federation, will probably
be taken up the Unionist dock laborers
at all the principal ports in which event
serious delay in the discharge and ship
ping of freight is bound to occur. The
Dock Laborers' Union at~Liverpool has
been dissatisfied some time with the
action of members of the Shipping Feder-
alton in employing non-union hands and
also has a grievance regarding wages.
Today the nnion notified the firms in
Liverpool belonging to the Shipping
Federation that unless the demands of
the unionists already formulated were
conceded the members of the union
will go on strike. This is believed to
be the prelude to similar action by the
dock laborers' unions at other ports.

OF the dogs are worthless ours. flee, and
mixed breeds: nothing but a pest and q

What use are they? None, but to prowl
around both night and day in every hole

coops. robblng setting hens. eating young
chickens. knocking down your wheat after
Young rabbits, breaking up wild turkeys
when setting. partridges, pheasants. and
other wild game. Are they OF any use to
their owners? Had they not better have
hogs i'll their places?
Just here | want to ask you question.
Suppose man has one thousand or twelve
hundred acres of land and nobody to work
il. and wants to convert it into stock
farm. We we'll know that sheep are most
proftable. but we have no protection
under the law. And dogs aud sheep don't
live quietly together. Then what course
would you pursue? Can't man stay on
his own farm aad say no dog shall pay

scruples about many things, bot this Is
