HAMBURG'S STRIKE DEBATED.
Won BOetticher Says the Employers
Are Justified in Their stand.

Won BOetticher Says the Employers
Are Justified in Their stand.
Berlin, Dec. S.-In the Reichstag to-day
Herr Auer, social democrat, severely criti-
cised the action of Hamburg employers in
refusing to submit their dispute with the
striking dock laborers to arbitration.
DIR. Won Boetticher, imperial secretary of
state for the interior, said that the terms
of the proposal justified the employers in
refusing to accept it, He added that Tom
Mann, the English labor agitator, had ex-
pressed his dissatisfaction because the
strike had been premature. AS a matter
of fact concerted strike Of the dock
laborers at every port in Europe had been
planned.
Herren Auer and Liebknecht had pre-
viously denied that the English agitators
had fomented the strike.
Bremen, Dec. 3.--The strike of the dock
laborers is at an end so far as Bremen is
concerned The strikers held meeting
to-day and adopted an agreement con-
cluded between the warehouse company
and committee Of the strikers for the
settlement of the differences and the
strikers will return to work
Hamburg, Dec. 3,-The striking dock la
borers held several meetings this morn
ing to- discuss the matter of the refusal
of the employers to submit the dispute to
a board of arbitration, and 1t was decided
to ask the strikers committee to declare
a general strike.
The employers association has written
a letter to Herr Hachman in justification
of its refusal to arbitrate the differences
with the strikers, taking the ground that
the strikers are being supported by foreign
assistance, and becoming weaker in their
position, while their work is being satis-
factorily performed by constantly arriv-
ing foreign workers at the old rates of
pay. They also object to the composition
of the proposed board of arbitration in
which the strikers would have been in the
majority
London, Dec. 9.-The leaders of the Lon
don dock laborers declare that they have
received kilograms from Hamburg inform
ing them that a large majority of the En-
glish non-union laborers who went to Ham,
burg to take the places Of the strikers are
refusing to unload vessels and are return
ing to England. The London dockmen's
union is subscribing one shilling a week
per man for the support of the Hamburg
strikers

telegraphs that all the harbor laborers en-
ployed by the state and the city will Join

 His Lip Gone!

There is not more familiar figure on the streets of Atlanta than the man whose picture is here shown. Every body knows him by sight and it will be remembered that years ago he began to wear on his upper lip, just under his nose, a small piece of court plas- ter. not larger than a Sil CT half dime; this plaster he has wo~s- constantly, though it gradually increased in size, as everybody knows, until it was As large as a silver dollar. This man is M. M. Nicholson, who resides at ths corner of Anderson and Curran Sts.
 It was thirty years ago. that he first noticed tiny scale, like a piece of wheat bran, on his lip. He at first thought it only a fever blister, but 1t was not long before his cheeks became diseased and painful to the touch. and he soon realized that he had fallen . victim to that most dreadful disease Cancer. It rapidly increased in size and severity. and remembering that his father had cancer when he died, and that his uncle also lost his life by this terrible disease, which destroyed his tongue. throat and left eye, MT. Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed. and realized that his condition wzA more than serious
