STILL LOCKED OUT.
A fiouse-to-tiouse Canvass to DO Made fsi
Striking Engineers.

LONDON, November IL --In all the
leading industrial circles Of England
and Scotland house toulouse collec-
tion in aid Of the locked-out engi-
neers will be inaugurated tonight, and
will be continued every Friday Eight
until the dispute is terminated. A
large number Of trades organizations
and private individuals have voluntar-
lily promised to make weekly contrIbu-
tlons, ranging from $50 to $4,000.
until the men return to work, and with
the receipts from the house-to-house
scheme, it is believed that the struggle
can be prolonged until the employers
give in.
There is a good deal Of comment in
trade union circles over the lack OF
interest in the trouble on the part OF
the labor men 10 the United States,
especially as the question OF eight hours
for which the engineers are contending
is understood 10 be a burning issue
across the water. The union men OF
Germany, France, Austria and other
European countries have contributed
thousands OF dollars towards the main
tenance of the unemployed engineers,
but so far the reports have failed to
show the receipt of single dollar from
the United States or Canada. An agent
of the strike committee is now in the
United States and it is thought that he
may be successful in securing material
aid to enable the men to win out 10
what is one of the greatest of labor
struggles 10 recent years,
SHOP ASSISTANTS.
LONDON, England. November r.
The national association of shop assist
ants have deluged the metropolis with
leaflets, printed in startling type and
conveying this appeal for reciprocal
fair play: "Epgineers of this city and
elsewhere are reminded that while
fighting the battle for eight hours a
day for themselves, shop assistants
work twelvs TO fourteen. 1t lies in the
power of working men and their wives
to alter this untairness by shopping
early"

battle-ship Mass sena as the most formidable
vessel built for any navy. Not less than 1000
tons out of the available displacement of H.
994 tons has been given to armor weights, and
her battery, which is very powerful is so ar
ranged tnat e'even guns can be fred directly

lacks two important ssentials, however, in
that she does not come up to the estimated
speed of 17.5 knots, and the coal supply falls

trip was fourteen knots. At her trial in May
1898, the Crescent developed speed of Is 6
