NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. 6.-The
break in the ranks of the mill-owners is
widening. A number of them favor q
compromise with the strikers. and it is un-
derstood that steps to this end have been
taken. The manufacturers proposition is
to start up at a reduction of 5 per cent in
stead of 10, the cut to be restored when
the cloth market reaches per cent. This
proposition, il is understood. the opera
tives have rejected. claiming that when
the market reaches per cent the time will
have come for an increase in wages. A
number of directors and stockholders are
beginning to be dissatisfied with the pres
ent condition of affairs and want the men
taken back at the old schedules, stating
that the mills then can make money.

Hardy SAYS in his "Book-Plates, ''the
real necessity for them began when the
printing press gave to the world not
two nor three, but a hundred or more
copies of a particular book Then it
was that the different owners needed
to distinguish their respective copies OF
a work; for the professional book-bor-
rover, who would gladly have retained
the manuscript volume lent to him by
an unsuspecting friend, could he have
done so without his crime being detect
ed, doubtless saw in the multitude of
copies greater opportunity Of carry
ing out his nefarious designs. The ex-
istence OF book-plates is, therefore,
largely due to the literary enthusiast
who amasses library by retaining vol
umes received on loan; the inscriptions
on some of the earlier book-plates prove
this TO be So
AS printing was invented in Ger
MANY, it was natural that book-plates
should first come into use there, as
they did about the end OF the fifteenth
century. A little later on a number OF
very fine ones were designed by Albert
Durer. Their use in England and
France began near the end of the six
teenth century, and in America still
another hundred years further on. Mr..
Allen, in his American Bookplates, :"
of which the publishers have kindly
allowed me TO see the advanced sheets,
assigns the earliest dated book-plate in
this country to, Rev. John Williams,
the Deerfield captive. This was simply
a plain label containing his name and
the year 1879. Book-plates Of William
Penn and Thomas Prince, the Boston
historian, followed in 1909 and 1904,
that Of the latter being probably the
, first engraved in America.
Book plates" writes Mr.. Allen,
admit Of many kinds of extraneous
ornamentation, and wholly apart from
the special function of recording the
ownership of books, they serve as ex-
pressions Of artistic taste, they lend
themselves readily TO many forms OF
designs, and have passed through
several changes or styles in the three
hundred years of their existence; they
can be dignifed or fippant. serious or
punniDg, of artistic beauty or positive
deformity; they can express the own
sr's choice of reading and can preserve
lines from his tavorite authors; can
convey warning or invitation, and 70,

In those early and. in some senses,
good old days, before the schooimaster

was the possession OF the aristocrats

have very largely supplanted the old

times the portrait OF the owner Is given,
or he is represented in a humorous con-
nection. as in the case Of Mr. Marcus

book is opened and displays, pasted in
side the cover, a paper label II reads,
IN plain border. William Downing,
bis book. I7i4' Now in England we
call such a ticket as this, William
Downing's book-plate, as abroad It
would be called his 'ex-libris.' In
either case the meaning is. that this
special volume was in 1744 William
Downing's property and no other
mans; that tho Took was one from
among his books, an item Of his IL
brarv, q unit in his collection. The
convenience of such a label of pro-
prietorship, printed or engraved. led
TO its adoption soon after the appear
ance of printed books. Books have
been lost. borrowed or stolen ever
since type began, and a mere written
name is inconspicuOus and easily eff
faced.
IF all book-plates were as plain as
William Downings. there would be no
great inducement TO study a series so
monotonous. But the owners Of
libraries soon began to improve upon a
mere tvpcgrap hical statement Of their
name. Heraldry was ut once employed
rs ready and ornamental mode Of de-
Claring the proprietorship Of volume.
Indeed. many Of the oldest book-plates
bear a coat Of arms without name or
further inscription, the owner then
considering that among his own imne-
tiate circle and neigh borhood. such an
here.iic imprint Of his right TO the
book was enough. Indeed, in those
days more Of his retainers woUld rec
