WENT OUT ON CALL
Two Thousand Garment Workers in
Boston Struck.
FIGHT ON THE SWEATING SYSTEM
A Nine-Hour Working Day With
Fixed Wages Wanted.
STRIKERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC

BOSTON, Mass, September 2O.-Acting
upon the instructions of the Clothing Trades
Council No. 2 the garment makers of this
city to the number of 1000 struck work
this morning, and it is expected that tonight
there will not be a clothing contractor able
to continue business and that $500 operat-
ives will be idle.
Promptly at 7 o'clock this morning the
committee having charge of the strike
started on their rounds and called the men
systematically, not contractor being over
looked. This action is the result of the re-
fusal Of number of contractors to con-
cede to the demands of the union for the
adjustment of the Jumping and Sweat
ing systems and the Introduction of the
weekly wage system.
The operatives are also deSirous of estab-
fishing a working day of nine hours with
fixed wages. Every man, woman and child
responded to the call to stop work.
1t was expected that there would be some
difficulty with the Italian and Lithuanian
operatives. but they responded as readily as
the others. The headquarters of the gar
ment workers have been crowded all day
with an excited an enthusiastic body Of
men and women, who declare they will not
return to their benches and machines under
the old conditions. Many of the contractors
nave large amount of work half finished
and heavy orders ahead, and a number have
already made application to sign the new
agreement.

Engineer Prescott Discusses the At.
tempted Santa Fe Train Robbery.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, September 20
James P. Wright. an old railroad brakeman,
who lives at Fort Madison, Iowa, where En-
gineer Prescott of the Santa Fe train, which
was stopped by train robbers near CORN,
Mo-. was taken after being wounded, has
had long talk with Prescott. Wright says
the wounded engineer, Is one Of the angriest
men he ever saw.
HE told me-" said Wright, that the bat
tie between the supposed train robbers and
the detectives was very queer, and that he
would never have been wounded If the de-
tectives had met the men who stepped on
the engines with well directed shots Pres
colt was even inclined to be skeptical about
the attempted robbery, and said it was very
strange that the detectives did not kill some
of the would-be robbers. Further than that
he said that after he was shot he pointed
out one man who was standing so close to
the engine that he could have knocked him
down with lump of coal If his arm had not
been rendered useless by his wound and
shouted to the detectives, why don't YOU
shoot that fellow" Then he said the detec-
tiVeS fired several shots at the man. and he
noticed that the gun barrels were all point
ed away above the level of the mans

The Faults Of English Cavalry.

From Blackwoods Magazine.
The tradition still clings to the British
cavalry of undisciplined and headlong reck-
lessness in the fie.d-of all fruits the most
ruinous. Wellington considered his cavalry
In the Peninsula so inferior to that Of the
French, from want of order. that he was
reluctant to use 1t unless when in superior
strength; and he said. speaking of Water
loo: Napoleon had his cavalry in order;
their order"
1t was this gallant but undisciplined pro-
pensity to get out of hand which in the
battle Of Waterloo as the issue Of a single
charge, reduced Lord Uxbridge's splendid
division of heavy cavalry to a single squad
ron. The wild galop of the Third Light
through the heart of the Khalsa camp in
the evening dusk of Ferozeshah, like the
the charge of the Light Brigade down the
north valley of Balaclava, was magnificent,
but 1t was not war; Kinglake innocently
expresses his admiration of the prolonga-
ton of front in Scarlett's heavy cavalry
charge, occasioned by the circumstances

PROBLEMS FOR FINANCIERs.

eminent Bonds,

Elasticity I'm Currency Based on Gov
eminent Bonds.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 30
Among the speakers today at the fourth
annual convention of the Ohio Bankers
Association was Controller of the Currency
James II. Eckels
After reviewing the history of the na-
tional banks and declaring that the sys-
TEN under which they were conducted was
the best that could be devised and one
which would be changed only when circum-
stances made change necessary, Con-
troller Eckels said that the problem to be
met today was how to secure a more elastic
currency and still maintain it solely upon
bonds deposited to secure the same The
serious difficulty in the way was the idea
to which SO many of the people chung that
II was essential to the peoples prosperity
that there always be large volume of
money regardless of it's representa- ton or
intrinsic value. He then said:
Our colonial history is replete with at
tempts to make the people rich through
great volume of currency, which had neither
represe 1tative nor intrinsic worth 1t is q
history of financial failure and distress.
Later, under the articles of federation, is
recorded the same attempt and the same
series of failure and financial loss. There
vas scarcely state in the Union before
the war but whose history is marked by
efforts to enrich people through such
currency, and the outcome was disaster. If
the result of such attempts was SO pro-
life of ruin to the people, then why will
they not fall with equal ruin now? The
laws of political economy do not change
with changing ages or changing people, and
the same causes find fruition in the same
effects whether the century be the egh-
teenth or nineteenth, the form Of govern
ment colonial or republic.
There Is no sentiment embodied in the
laws Of money and no matter how great
may be the volume of the currency. IL each
and every dollar of that currency is eot of
value to pass current in the world of bust
ness 1t cannot add to the blessings of the
people. To be productive of the peoples
good it must, whether Of gold, silver or
paper, in the very order of things. be Of
unquestionabe and unvarying value, and
when called into 0equisition discharge with
out the aid of legal tender acts at home or
abroad the obligations Of the holder. But
with such a currency our people have vet
much TO learn. and most important is the
lesson that no matter how abundant 1t may
be 1t will not find its way to those who are
wanting In credit. 1t can give no relief to
those who have neither the means to nay
their obligations or having 1t cast suspicion
upon their willingness to maintain their
financial integrity by making their abiding
places the home Of all the financial vagaries
which are bred by those who have no prop
erty Of their own and are unmindful Of the
property rights Of their fellows
