GREAT STRIKES, LIKELY
Extensive Labor Troubles Are
Impending In Boston.
OTHER CITIES TO BE INVOLVED

The American Federation of Labor Pre-
pairing tO Enforce Its Eight Hour Mani
festo on May 1-said to Have Album
dant Funds.
Boston, April II. May / IL the time
fixed on by the American Federation oi
Labor FOR a general strike to enforce theii
eight hour law. It Is estimated that IN
Boston there arc 50, 600 wage earners who
are affiliated with organized labor. There
are 100 organized bodies affiliated witt
the Central Labor union and between 20
and 80 attached to the Building Trades
council, while many are allied with the
Knights OF Labor.
The impetus to the movement given by
the American Federation has stimulated
this vast number Of wnge earners to fur
ther action in demanding the eight hour
workdny. The demand has received the
assent OF organized labor, with few excop-
tions, and SO strong Is the desire for the
shorter workday that II the employers fail
TO concede the present popular demand
the month OF May will see ono of the most
gigantic strikes ever seen.
Looking AnxiousIy For May 1.
Boston is only ono of the many cities
that look anx1ously for May ]. Hundreds
Of smaller towns having organizations
have also entered into the spirit Of the
movement and will join the majority IN
possibly the greatest strike that the world
has ever seen. Tho unions are financially
well prepared for a strike. and those
unions which are not In the condition de.
sired will have all the financial assistance
necessary.
The carpenters have been selected by
the American Federation to make the test
In the demand for shorter day. but
whether thoy succeed OF not It will in nc
way deter the leaders of the movement
from successfully carrying out the wishes
and hopes of the wage earners of this
country.
Should It be necessary to order a strike
In Boston, it can be snfely predicted that
at the least computation CO. 600 men Will
be involved, and, II once started, local la
Dor leaders say 1t will tax the resources
Of the police and military to prevent vio-
lent scenes.
President Gompers and Vice President
Mcguire of the Federation will be here
Sunday in conference with the trades
council. They have been visiting tn,
prominent cities in the United States as
cortaining the condition Of the unions.

richest materials are employed in
fashioning these garments. Fur
OVERHEAD with a very open design in
cloth or velvet, which is edged all
over with beads, is one of the newest
fancies. The cloth or velvet is only
lightly tackled on and is easily re-
moved, leaving the fur intact. Per-
sian lamb, with green velvet or
brown cloth, is rich and handsome;
others show yoke of fur with the
cape of velvet or cloth, edged with a
band of fur to match the yoke, such
a cape of bluet cloth, with beaver
trimming, made to match a costume
of the same, makes q handsome call
ing gown for young lady. Brown
cloth, with skirt to match, trimmed
with mink as shown in our illustra-
ton makes very swell costume,
with waist or Louis XIV coat of
figured light but subdued green silk.
Tails of mink ornament the front of
the cape.
A cape of green velvet with sable
trimmings, may be made even more
dressy by the addition of lace ar
ranged at the throat in jabot effect
on both sides, with two crushed
roses as a finish.
Theatre and Opera capes of light
velvet are charming of crushed rose
velvet with sable and lace trim

This cape Pattern is No. 1920 and
is cut with yoke and la circular

to form a sort of ruche. 1t is cut

ical journals, world famous doctors,
and chemists, pronounce it to be the
purest and most nutritious cocoa
made.
Not only is it one of the most de-
licious beverages ever slipped by the
lips of man-but it is so highly nu-
tritive that it gives a gentle stimu-

The oil and fatty substances have
all been removed SO that it is q per-
fectly digestible food for young
children and dyspeptics, or even in

by all doctors as giving the most
nutriment to the system with the
least effort to the digestive and as
similative organs.
This cocoa is imported direct from
Holland by the
