There was no response. There was no
movement to Indicate that she recognized
him. He remained for some time bend-
ing over her. hoping that ne might receive
some sign that she knew or felt his pres

1t was a strange coincidence that almost
Immediately following the departure OF
the president the mother should suffer a
relapse. While he was yet In mis- home
he left the city, the illness or the mother
took turn for the worse, and 1t was
thought by the family that she had suf-
fered q second stroke OF paralysis The
attending physician. however. declared it
was not a second assault of the disease
but a relapse. which for a time threatened
to extinguish the family hickering flame
of life. Once more. however the rugged
constitution OF the aged woman withstood
the assault. She rallied slightly, and
ere long was back To the condition in
which she had heen for. nearly twenty
hours. a condition OF quiet and seemingly

How long she might continue no one could
tell. II was not thought impossible that
she could linger until the president could
discharge the important duties which cali
ed him to Washington.
The attending physician again announces
that the patient cannot regain conscious
ness.
The president left Canton at Cos o'cioe<

departure he held a conference with the
doctor. who assured the president that 10

IONDON. Dec 4-The fact that the en-
gineers' conference has ended IN A nascc
Is no surprise. though much regretted.
The address in which the delegates OF
the strikers submit the results to the
members OF the unions is most discourag-
ing. II emphasizes their opinion that the
conditions which the employers are re-
solved TO exact, strikes at the very root
OF the most cherished principles OF trades
unionism. In conclusion. it says:
Nothing but the sense of the sunerings
and sacrifices which the quarrel has al
ready imposed on our fellow laborerS
could have induced Us TO submit proposals
OF such a hunliliating character for con-
sideration."
Briefly, the employers propositions
acknowledge the workmen's freedom 10
join unions bur they will not promise not
TO give preference TO non-unionists, and
they claim complete liberty to put men
on piece work TO work at machines to
learn new methods
To the efficient they guarantee wages
equal to the current wages, but the en-
ployers will not guaranteed a standard
rate. Efficiency Is to be decided by the
al lower wages. In addition they insist
upon the right 10 employ as many appren-
tices as they please.
The aii-prevaiiing idea is to substitute
individual bargaining for the collective
principles of the union.
The ballots of the unions are returnable
on December I3. but the general opinion
is that the employers bids will be re-
jected overwhelmingly. In which case 1t is
almost needless TO point out that distress
is confronting hundreds of thousands this
winter. which promises to be unusually
severe.
The whole aspect OF the industrial world
here Is most depressing. In addition to
the engineering troubles. the Amalgam-
