Authorship and book publishing are
in bad way in France, according tn
a number of experts who have been
figuring on the situation. 1t is said
by VI. Albert Cim, and corroborated
by other experts, that there nre
scarcely Six novelists in France who
can count on receiving equal to or
above 10000 francs year for their
literary work An examination of the
books of prominent publisher of Paris
showed that two-thirds of the accounts
opened for works of fiction, verse,
travel, domestic economy and military
science showed considerable losses.
A volume of reasons are offered IN cx-
planation of the situation, but the
facts are admitted.

5000 OUT.
That Lawrence strike Turned Into
Lockout.

The strike ut the Arlington mills, Lawrence.
Mass, has developed Into II lockout. About
a week ago the employees Of the finishing and
dying departments TO the number Of 300 or
400 struck, and are now out. Their desire
was to have restored the reduction Of 10 per
cent, which was made In their wages last
fall.
This the mill officials refused to do. and
another chapter was begun when, after the
operatives had left the mills. notice was
fastened to the gate to the effect that the
weaving and spinning departments Of the
corporation would not reopen.
No period was fixed for the shutdown.
This will affect over 1000 operatives 1t il
thought that rumors which have been afoat
during the week that some OF the weavers
were to strike has brought about the step on
the part Of the mill officials to forestall such
action. The operatives are highly indignant.

fouLd apparently in dying condition in the
